Allow me to present you with this fine biological weapon!

How am I supposed to make knee-jerk reaction comments with all this "reading comprehension" stuff?

"This isn't cuck me. This is cuck you."
-Steve Bannon in two weeks.

A replacement for what? Bannon had no official portfolio and no official responsibilities, occupying an unaccountable advisory role crafted specifically for him. There is no job to fill, because Bannon literally had no job, just a position.

Which is exactly the thing that GRRM has been subverting all this time…

There's time for more shame!

She'll be betrayed, as usual. Probably Varys or, more painfully, Jorah again.

The Teddy Roosevelt looking motherfucker on the far left might be the worst, although the failure of the small man in black with the child's shoulders (foreground) to wear an undershirt also bothers me.

Jaime charms the female guard as a distraction?

Does he have the horn, though? Because as soon as he sees a dragon on the horizon, he could flip the whole script with the horn, end Dany, etc. It would be HIGHLY unusual to just whip that thing out in the last few episodes here, but it seemed like such an important element in the books…

Hot Take: If the Dragonbinder doesn't show up this episode, I'm not sure it ever will. I'm expecting some resolution on Euron this week. Is he going to be a player, or get played? The action will likely be split between the Wall, Bran, King's Landing, and Euron, with Bronn, Jaime, and Drogon left unresolved.

I lol'd the first time, the second time I upset people trying to sleep.

Aren't the dragon "carvings" at Dragonstone actual dragons in suspended animation? I think I was distracted by Patchface when I was reading…

Next level would be two bolts with a chain between them.

*croaks* I was like, destiny is written, but at the same time we have to write our own destiny. The fuck.

"All right now, for all you boppers out there in the big city, all you
street people with an ear for the action, I've been asked to relay a
request from the Mueller Greasers. It's a special for the Trumps, that
real live bunch from downtown, and I do mean The Trumps. Here's a hit
with them in mind."

No need for furrowed brow. It's Dunkin Donuts.

Hmmm. I'm resistant to the uncertainty here because of my own end-game theories, but no, GRRM never says "no, I mean REALLY dead". But there's Victarion's arm, which is straight-up magic, we know for a fact that the dead can be revived, and Aeron Greyjoy just does not play parlor games. He doesn't. And what did…

You guys are funny with your "taste" stuff. The idea is the caffeine, readily available and quickly served, that is the only thing keeping you alive riding a motorcycle to work in Boston at 7AM in November.
