I was kind of pissed at Bronn being brought back essentially for comic relief, and I’ve always liked Bronn. But he’s being given all this power in spite of the fact that he’s always been and will always be massively self-interested (he’s open about it!) and will probably rob everyone blind and make things materially…

“Why not?” should have been the title of this episode. The paint by numbers approach is fine when it makes the most sense. The “let’s subvert expectations by being illogical” route is sometimes worse than being predictable.

“(Benioff and Weiss) decided to phone it in so that they could move on to other projects”

BTW I hated Arya’s ending, it was like Poochie’s exit in the Simpsons. She wants freedom and adventure, ok fine but becoming an explorer wtf. Why not just have her go North with Jon beyond the wall and join the Free Folk? The true North is perfect for Arya, but nope.

I’d have loved for someone on the Jez staff that actually read the books to have written these reviews

And Jon and Dany raise it as their own. To maintain peace. And since they can’t have children of their own. 

She’s already had four.

For as much as this show really hit the crapper the last few seasons, I am going to miss the fuck out of Lena Headey’s Cersei.

Interesting points, but we also have to spare some consideration for the idea that Cersei will give birth to a dragon baby with Ned Stark’s face.

In a way, she has the clearest path to victory insofar as she does not have the baggage of conflict weighing her down. Every other character has some moral or ethical handicap that hinders them from proceeding ruthlessly toward their goal. Dany, for instance, can’t simply lay waste to King’s Landing (though, fingers…

I thought the same thing. And now I think the child born will be a girl. A “younger, more beautiful” queen if you will.

Is it wrong to want Cersei to win in the end? I love her arrogance and pomposity. Does anyone think Urine Greyjoy will last another episode?

Calling it: Cersei will die of natural causes in childirth, and her baby will be the Valanquar.

“but the one Cersei heard as a child was important enough it’s the only pure flashback the series has ever done.”

I also know Euron’s thick, but I really hope they don’t just have him ignore the fact that Tyrion clearly knew about Cersei’s pregnancy before he did.

But the most obvious evidence comes from the person who knows Cersei better than anyone, the man most convinced she’s telling the truth...“I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself,” Jaime said trying to cheer him Tyrion after learned he’d been outsmarted by Cersei, “She’s fooled me more than anybody.”

Yeah no that’s not accurate at all. I spend around $320 a month in fuel just commuting to work, where as my Prius Prime is around $42 a month. Factor in the reduced maintenance costs and a maximum of around $20 a month in electricity, the EV is going to win that battle handily.

Figure in what you pay for regular ICE car mufflers, oil changes, brakes, other fluids and broken moving parts that electric cars don’t over their lifetime PLUS the gas savings and you’ll soon realize how backwards you have everything.

Or hate having to find a gas station, stop to fuel up, rejoin traffic out of your way, etc. In LA and high-$ cities, where the retail gasoline business is collapsing, that’s become a real issue.

Or hate paying for gas. Eventually, it will work out in the leafs favor.
