This has been a problem for 12 episodes now. HBO must be losing money or something and needs to rush this to a conclusion. I'm at a loss.

Thank you for your explanation. I was wondering how Euron could be instantly everywhere that he could burn another boat with his homing catapults.

The Mountain never died, although the poison should have killed him. Whatever Qyburn did to save his live changed him in ways only Qyburn knows, since it was never discussed.

I don't think she didn't understand. I think she wanted him to say it straight out, not beating around the bush but stating his true feelings, Women are like that sometimes.

Honestly, given all the things that have happened to her at a young age, I'm very surprsed she hasn't changed more. The core of her seems almost untouched. For example, in the scene with the wolves, she reacted almost the same way as she would have before her trip to Bravos, when I'd have expected her to be much…

From what I see, Olenna just told Danerys 'Don't listen to any men, be yourself'.

Perhaps only Qyburn and his little birds know that.

There were a number of heavyweights that trained with Bruce. They wanted no part of him.

Ramsay at least was entertaining. This guy is just a pain in the behind.

That's the part that really doesn't make sense. No way Yara doesn't have scouts and watches out as well. She was basically the admiral of the Ironborn fleet before Euron showed up, so it wasn't like she was unfamiliar with handling large fleets. I could understand if the two fleets blundered into each other in the…

Agreed. I was disturbed by this as well. Yara took the best of the Ironborm with her, so you can't just blame it on superior tactics from Euron. It was storytelling driven by a shortage of time, and it makes me sad to see it, because we can expect more like this in the rush to complete the series. That encounter…

Serio Forrell

He was already promised this by Cercei in a previous episode. I can look it up if you like.

One way or another we're going to find out, and here's why.

Well, we could count Cercei with the witch, but I'd agree there have been very few.

Actually when it began I thought it might be a flashback. It wasn't till he started talking about the winter arriving that I started to see something was amiss.

You make good points, but the story everyone has told, even Balish at one point if I'm not mistaken, is that Raegar killed her. There's been no whisper in all this time that anyone has a clue that story is a lie. What's going to be interesting is when Jon Snow finds out that he's really not Ned's son, and is a…

He lost half his ships at Blackwater. None of that matters now, He and all his men are mostly dead. The Iron Bank probably re-possessed the rest after the debacle at Winterfell.

No, he really does love Sansa. I think he's really having a conflict between his desire for her and his desperate ambition to gain the Iron Throne. It doesn't look like he can have both things, and one of the interesting things about this show is that even such a complete sociopath as Balish is shown to have love…

That Meister is Jim Broadbent, who has had more epic roles than almost any actor I can think of off the top of my head.
