Reread the comment—not that Gendry just found out she was a girl (yup, that happened years ago), but when he KNEW her, spent any time with her, was *also* all those years ago. The last time he saw her she was still very much a girl, not woman—not even a teen. So for Gendry, Arya was still just a kid in his mind. That…

They kept mentioning the crypts, and how safe they will be. Which means they absolutely will not be safe at all.

Some of the dialogue was a little on the nose- “Look how far the three of us have come...” Yeah, no shit, that’s what we were all thinking until you ruined it by saying it out loud.

I hope this isn’t too much book-context, but so much of the story’s soul and moral standing comes from Jaime’s internal journey. Davos is already there. Brienne has a pure heart but she’s kind of on another planet. But we follow Jaime as he changes and there are long stretches where his redemption is the only thing…

how was this an all-time great? select scenes were wonderful, but it mostly felt like treading water and endless blunt “hey look at these two, remember how they know each other?” moments.

I have issues with the ending. The ending with Jon and Danny just felt incredibly contrived. It struck me as similar to an episode of “24,” where they would need something big to happen at the end of an episode whether or not it made sense to the narrative.

I feel...extremely unusual watching Maisie Williams in a nude sex scene.

I told you that Dany would be far more concerned about being usurped than incest.

That was a blank stare. Bran isn't Bran anymore and probably doesn't give much of a shit about his non working legs. This was like a film class experiment where a bland face takes on different attributes depending on what you saw just before.

I don’t get that either. You just have to believe that Cersei loves poetic irony so much that she’s willing to risk a bit of gold on Bronn going through with it.

Next episode. Night King. 3 piece plaid suit, that somehow works for him.

I also think Jaime won’t survive, but it’d be nice if he’ll be the one who... slays the Night King.

What I don’t get is that he was getting paid up front. He might honor a deal with Tyrion or Jaime, but why would he do anything but skip town on Cersei as soon as he could?

Opening scene of the next episode is Bronn walking in on Cersei like “I believe this is yours” and shoots her with the crossbow, then rides off with the gold. The rest of the season is the war against the White Walkers and the people of the north bickering. 

Which is what made me wince when he approached Jon - surely Bran could see that reminding a grieving man about how he could really fuck with the woman who got half his family killed was an #1 bad idea.

Moment of the episode had to be jaime somehow still arrogant but cool  as ever feeling pleased with himself for infiltrating winter fell only to be met with Brans doeful gaze. Infact Bran may have been my Mvp of the episode for the first time ever.

So first, I love this show. Now that that’s clear... last season I thought it bad writing that Danaerys was more upset that Jon was missing than that her dragon had died. This season, it’s strange Danaerys isn’t more upset that her kid is an ice dragon now. The romance was sped up and then seemed to substitute for her…

My wife raised the same concern and I’m going with him having a little bell like Hector Salamaca from Breaking Bad that he just rings it when he needs to be moved by some off screen/unnamed chair jockey at his disposal.

Who is wheeling him around and then leaving him?!

I really hope they keep leaning into everybody just being weirded the fuck out by Bran. Dragons flying around and zombies on the march and nothing makes people more uncomfortable than the home schooled kid who cuts his own hair.
