To be fair, the Lannisters made it super easy for her to do that the way they were positioned all together in the middle of a field.

Following a character we care about through the thick of battle is so much more fascinating and compelling than just watching hordes of men go at it. Both scenes were spectacular..

Yeah. The battle was exciting but Arya/Brienne was satisfying. I didn't even realize I waiting for that to happen until it did.

If she'd been prepared for how good she was beforehand, she could've beaten her.

Last time, Dany burned slave masters and their men, not men from the Westerlands wearing the Lannister lion and fighting under Jaime.

Baratheon hair color was emphasized so much in season 1 to make it plain that Cersei's children were all Jaime's and none were Robert's

Why would Lyanna give Jon to Ned saying "You have to take him Ned. Robert will kill him, you know he will" if he were Robert's? Robert wouldn't kill his own son with his beloved Lyanna and, even if though she didn't love him, surely she would know that. And Robert was obsessed with Lyanna's purity. That wouldn't be…

He's definitely getting whacked but it has to be with the dagger now that they've emphasized it so much.

I tend to agree that people overreacted. It seemed like many of the people who freaked out the most were book fans who were outraged that it was precious Sansa Stark instead of Jeyne Poole. Like it was somehow okay or less offensive for Ramsay to rape Jeyne and force her to do things with Theon and his dogs. It seems…

People weren't as outraged over what happened to Theon because what happened to him doesn't happen to literally 1/3 of all men in our modern world, with millions of people making excuses for the perpetrators and demeaning and blaming the victims. That is still the case with male on female rape right now today. Thus,…

It doesn't surprise me that the bank would be fine with slavery happening somewhere else if it could make a lot of money on it while most in the city despise it.

I did. I thought that she'd at least poisoned her own goblet so she couldn't be taken captive back to Cersei.

She was right. He left after she told him.

That's why the outrage was so absurd IMO. Of course Jamie would do that. He pushed a child out of a window and he'd do it again. After that, nothing should come as a surprise. Developing respect for Brianne was nice and all but doesn't make him a good person overall.

The writing for him is spotty at best but Pilou Asbæk is giving such energetic performances that it works. And the sails looks awesome.

Exactly. If she'd taken Kings Landing immediately like Yara instructed and Olenna agreed, none of this would've happened. Yes, many people would die but far more will die now. You can't play nice when your enemy is ruthless and expect to win.

She wouldn't IMO and Davos wouldn't leave Jon now unless absolutely necessary. I wonder if Melisandre is still at Dragonstone when Davos arrives and what he does about it. I'm guessing she hides from him and Jon.

I don't think Brienne is bad counsel. She sees through Littlefinger, which might be most important right now.

The Dany and Varys conversation was WAY overdue.

Yeah, sometimes the grown ups have to humor the children to retain a seat at the table and a position of influence.
