I'm with you there. Wouldn't it be great if that movie was made by someone who liked the story they were supposed to be making? Fucking Blecccchh.

I'm going with: Improbably fast current at depths literally washed them that far down river rapidly as they struggled to reach the surface and shore. Also, while we see them just come up for air there, that's not the first time they clawed their way to the surface for air.

Correct

I think the show has been saying for quite a while, that birthright means absolutely nothing. I think Jon sort of alluded to that in his first conversation with Dany. I think Missandei made it clear that birthright means nothing to the people following Dany. The only people who care about birthright and lineage are…

DID Dad Mormont badmouth his son in our presence, though? I really don't remember that.

It really is a strangely Scooby Gang plan for a show that's suddenly gone into hyperspeed to get shit done. Because it doesn't, on the face of it, teach us, the All Seeing Eye, anything new. I am assuming that we somehow learn something different from this move, or that that the Show feels like we need a little Ice…

It's interesting, sure. But Jon doesn't give a shit about being King currently. I can't imagine he'd want to be King of the 7 Hells when he does find this out. I think Riley is saying he hates the character and doesn't want Jon to be King of It All either.

I bought his album with Edie Brickell. I listened through it once. There are maybe two songs that are okay. Agreed. Steve Martin is really good at playing the banjo, but he's not doing anything interesting with it.

They had to travel, and they got a guy who shapes weapons right in their party. If they come out with arrow heads and daggers next ep, I'm giving it to them.

But Jon has enough experience to relate without Benjen, and that still failed. The object lesson is what's needed. But perhaps you;re right. The show is seemingly bringing every survivor back into the story, so Benjen is out there. A moving murderous rotting corpse would convince me, however.

I thought the same thing. My belief is that he did it off screen.

and now thehy've ridden away from that info. Gilly didn't know what it meant, and Sam wasn't really listening. So that was just a tidbit for the audience? What's the use of it.
?

You never knew my Mum.

On another note. This week's pair of idiot guards featured what looked like Kevin Eldon. Wasn't he already on this show in that theatre troupe?

I don't even get WHERE he betrayed her in that story. Bronn faked him out. He went to Cersei immediately to tell what he knew. That's not betrayal.

I imagine Jon's loaded down with obsidian right now. So that's helpful. Gendry's really fake looking Fisher Price hammer could use some protection though.

This is where it would be really special if one or both of them were completely honest with the other about what was going on. Wouldn't that be awesome? Chicks before pricks, and all dat. Maybe it'll go that way.

I think the answer to that is in Jon's line. He has TWO queens to convince…..
…..Also, with unclear magic rules going on, I wouldn't want my dragon anywhere NEAR a mystical zombie army.

I assume it's been wherever Gilly's been while he works at the citadel..

What was with suddenly worshipping a golden calf, anyway? Nothing less impressive than a little calf. Were they worshipping cuteness? And who just picks a random animal out of nowhere to worship. I got me some questions.
