I'm intrigued. Please tell me more. <unzips>

Try the Washington Post. If I'm not mistaken they've worked in intersectional feminism again.

I don't buy that she's being set up to be a villain. I think all along she's been set up to bring 3 full grown dragons and a large army from Essos to Westros, and do it for selfish reasons. When she gets there and sees that the shit has hit the fan re: the White Walkers, her selfish reasons will go out the window,…

One of my big questions is, if Yara and Theon got to Dany all by themselves, then what's Varys' secret mission? Hopefully not to Euron, because won't that be awkward?

Even the most positive actions can have unintended consequences. It's like everybody's maneuvering in some sort of game…of thrones.

I hope you're not a Tommen fan.

I agree, there's nothing that says a great fighter, or great platoon leader or company commander, or even battalion commander is going to make a great general. If he was perfect everyone would just call him a Mary Sue.

Oh I think the preview was just being cagey. My bet is that the shit completely hits the fan next week on both the northern and southern front and becomes a completely different show. The Night King is going to like having 10000 fresh corpses so far north, and they went out of their way to remind everyone about the…

I'm not saying I thought the same thing but I did suddenly feel the urge to head to the kitchen to see if we had a large ripe peach.

All week I thought it would be lame to have Littlefinger, of all people, be the savior riding to the rescue, but my God by the time that charnel house had ground to that point, I was anyone, anyone please end this, SpongeBob, HR Pufnstuf, fucking anyone, please!

Why is everyone commenting that no trial by combat = no Cleganebowl? I didn't think the two things were tied together at all. This is Game of Thrones, these guys can have a fight to the death any old time they feel like.

An interesting question then is: will Jaime, if put in the same position of having to save King's Landing from being torched, make the same decision and take out his beloved, Buffy-Angel style?

I also like how everyone assumed Arya put all her build points into Dex, but clearly she actually maxed Con, big time. Getting stabbed on the bridge proves she dumped Wis so I guess maybe there was wiggle room there.

Was definitely disappointed by this episode. One of my biggest brags on the show has been that it doesn't resolve everything in the most straightforward way possible, but here we have an episode where absolutely everything was resolved in the most straightforward way possible. For example, I did not expect…

Not really. It's the same speculation that has been going on for 15+ years about what is coming in the books, except compressed into a couple of weeks, with a payoff in as little as 7 days. If you think a couple of weeks gets old, there are some book readers who'd like to have a chat.
