I kinda like that around 30% of the storylines just abruptly end. Makes everything way more unpredictable. A lot of shows will kill characters, but few will kill storylines mid-sentence.

Not worth it for Cersei. As she notes, Euron isn't trustworthy. You can't risk him turning his fleet against you mid-battle if the winds change, or if he gets a better offer.

The scene in the Tower of Joy showed that there were other people involved. I doubt that Ned murdered all of the handmaidens or anything. All that LF would need would be a little niggle that something wasn't quite right with the whole question of Jon's parentage (even Robert Baratheon knew that adultery didn't square…

You mean despite the fact that Brienne despises Tormund with every fibre of her being?

Few months… maybe a year. There's a fair amount of time passing in some storylines between the second half of last season and this season.

Seems to me that Jon is being pretty damn smart since BoB.

The rulers are bound to have 'ambassadors' in each of the major seats of power who'll send them the latest updates on where they're stationed.

The zoom was for editing purposes, to cut from an eye to Bran's eye.

…and if he'd missed that last shot, then he'd have just ordered a volley from his front line to take out Rickon… as Sansa said, that kid wasn't walking away from that battle alive.

If he's working for anyone, it'll probably be the White Walkers somehow (they showed with Craster that they are willing and able to strike deals with humans when it suits them). He seems to always be pushing people towards war. Maybe he's trying to prevent Jon from bringing the North together… or maybe he's just an…

Ramsey obviously know he could get a kill shot no matter what Rickon did, otherwise he wouldn't have let him go.

That's the only explanation for why the White Walkers are a danger now.

That wasn't Wun-Wun. He died at Winterfell, not beyond the wall. There are a couple of giants around and it looks like the WWs have recruited all of them.

Not necessarily. She could have taken a face from the Hall, or come across a natural causes death.

He was very wrong. He showed he would put his own selfish interest above the interests of his allies in that decision. In the kind of era this show is set, an engagement was considered as solid as a marriage.

Yeah. Yara vs. Euron is probably coming either next week or the week after.

I think Robb's problem was the one-two punch of claiming to be a man of honour when executing the Karstark, and then betraying honour when breaking his marriage vow.

I'd imagine they're gonna write off the Wildlings for the rest of the season and push Brienne into Jamie's path again this year. Since S7 is undoubtedly the last one for the Lannisters, I think it's important that Brienne is a part of the end of Jamie's story.

Not on-screen, but your assumption is mine, and a very safe one.

Arya is now heading for King's Landing; Jon is prepping for a war with some solid planning; Bran returned to civilisation; Sam's sent vital info to Jon; Euron is likely off to start a war with the Tyrell's/Dorne; The Hound is now a rebel with a cause… seems like a lot of movement to me in terms of shifting goals.
