At that point in the battle, this sequence could have used one of those overhead or tracking shots, like we saw in the fight at the Wall or the Battle of the Bastards, to show where everyone was positioned relative to everyone else.

I agree. It seems like so many missed opportunities now, as they race to the end.

On Jon's trip back through the Wall, the camera will pan up to reveal a giant R+L=J carved into its north face. "Huh," he'll mutter, "I wonder what that means?"

|"The Dothraki, in spite of the staging in this episode, are primarily horse archers, not heavy cavalry. They should have been circling the Lannisters pelting them with arrows rather than charging in…"

| so what's the point of selling it all?

Berric said it took a little life out of him each time, or something like that.

Similarly, Ned's reputation in the North seems untarnished. I guess their version of the story is that the nefarious, backstabbing Lannisters did Saint Ned in. Which they did, but only after he'd sharpened the blade, handed it over, and turned his unarmored spine to them.

Agreed. But surely they know E10 is like Winter Is Coming. Scale up some resources on AWS, guys!

They didn't show her, but she used one to kill Trant, right? Some "training" is just being in the place to sort it out yourself.

Olenna knows, for one. Pretty sure that means Dorne and Dany know now, too. Probably Littlefinger, since as Master of Coin he helped them get into all that debt in the first place.

Possibly. I thought the stuff Tyrion found was the result of years of work and stockpiling. Kind of depends on what the "rumors" were that Qyburn uncovered. If it was that some was left, but it's too hard or takes too long to make more, then that's it. If it was just that the Alchemists can still make it, then game…

How great would it be if Sam finds the 3D map of the world in the library? The one that we've all been watching for six seasons?

Tyrion also has that fondness for bastards, broken things, etc. Dany was the ultimate underdog — like him, marked from birth. When he was on the small council, they casually plotted her assassination, like it was no big thing. But by the time he actually met her, she had three cities, an army and dragons. She took him…

I agree that the Sansa and Jon scene was too sparse. I can imagine what she's thinking — her "no one can protect anyone" line in E9 spelled out her worldview. She'd rather gamble with Littlefinger and his power than with Jon and his lack of it. But Jon just seemed even more distracted and politically clueless than…

Yes/and/but, how are all those Northern lords going to feel when they find out he's actually a bloody Targaryen?

I thought the implication was that this was the last of KL's wildfire stash; the bit from the stockpile that got missed (or purposefully misplaced) when Tyrion rounded it up for Blackwater.

I hope they explain this later.

They've certainly set it up that way. But it would be pretty great if instead he finds some way to counter dragons, and then accidentally spills the beans to Littlefinger, who selfishly wrecks the only way to stop the undead army from zombifying Westeros.

Didn't he train her, though? I'm not saying any of that House of B/W stuff was good or couldn't have been done better. I think it was one of the weaker story lines of the show. But she certainly picked up a lot of new skills; stuff that Ned, Syrio, the Hound, et. al. hadn't or couldn't have taught her.

I think Margery's primary flaw was wanting to be queen at any cost. Those other flaws in her thinking were a consequence of that first one.
