Isn't it titled Battle of the Bastards? The big event I assume, will be the battle for Winterfell.

Slow burn, long con, patience and all that, she'll get there.

*possible spoiler*

Yeah this, or Jaqen will help her and reveal his misdirect and his ulterior plans/motive etc etc if there is something else going on with this storyline. Wishful thinking but this story arc has dragged something fierce.

Vanessa and Catriona were having a voice-off, I couldn't tell who was speaking, their tones and accents were so similar. And yes, their scenes have given birth to a new ship and I am curious about it because the sparks were there!

That was so hard to watch, given Vanessa was in such a vulnerable place and Dracula was in full blown emotional manipulation mode and took advantage. It still makes me cringe.

I shall have to dance more often.

I think the two of you would make quite the formidable match

I could watch Ferdinand Lyle give all the hugs to Vanessa all day.

Didn't see this before I posted the exact same thing! Very much this.

They've definitely paralleled their stories this season, both being tempted/seduced by darker forces - although in Vanessa's case, unknowingly. It did occur to me that she may have guessed Dr Sweet's true identity but I really don't think so at this point.

I second this, she is fast escalating to 'most insufferable' alongside Victor.

They never did confirm one way or the other who it was sent by did they? Can't recall, I finished this a few weeks ago. It never occurred to me that she could have sent it herself given how shell shocked she seemed the whole episode but I guess that's the whole point - it's a good theory, I wouldn't put it past her.

I'm definitely rooting for Christine now as opposed to earlier in the season where I was just passively watching her do her thing with total apathy. The sex tape leak at her law firm may have been the turning point for me where I began to actively root for her instead of just being apathetic.

Exactly everything you said! I figured perhaps 1 or 2 years at most since some TV shows have that distance between seasons anyway but, I'm glad they know enough to create an ending for the series that at least somewhat resembles where the books are going (I assume, no clue how much Martin has given away).

Being a late book reader and watching the show first, I assumed they would put the show on hold until the books were released. I thought, surely the book will be released by the time the show catches up…ohhhhhh you know nothing sweet summer child.

I feel unsatisfied by it too only because I wanted to see S beat the crap out of him, preferably on his face, first.

I had no trouble understanding him, so this is interesting!

Good catch! I've completely forgotten that. I think it's both things - she genuinely likes him but she also thinks she should be relaying information he tells her to her parents.

Sneaky editing there, very well done.
