Definitely. Tommen is half-dead already and just doesn't know it yet.

I didn't think there could be anything GoT-related that I wouldn't like. But it's just painfully bad.

Yeah! Maybe the LoL's resurrection magic cancels out the Night King's zombie resurrection magic?

Yep. The nice thing about pantheism is how flexible it is.

Wow, I was so close in that guess last week! Benjen apparently came one obsidian dagger away from joining the horde.

Even so, you'd think the head of the Kingsguard would at least have a general idea where the King is most of the time. And he didn't overhear any of his men shooting the shit about their fancy new armor? Nothing? Jaime deserved the demotion just for being so out of the loop!

Also Marj sticking it to Cersei in a new way. She was clever enough to find a way out of making the same walk.

Also, this troupe still doesn't have any fresh White Walker material.

Since the Iron Throne still owes Bravos (e.g. The Iron Bank) huge amounts of money, perhaps the play's pro-Baratheon propaganda is also to prop up local support for a big debtor. The bank already gambled on Stannis and lost; if the Baratheon reign ends, too, who pays their debt?

Yeah, that is super cool. What is dead may never die.

Lol, because pointing out that they've mishandled these scenarios in the past is hardly condemnation, and making a guess about how they'll resolve this one, based on that track record, is fun.

Bran, yeah? Huh.

I loved how in Bran's visit to the WW horde, they were literally just standing frozen in place. I mean, when you have an army that can ignore most of the rules of supply and maintenance and morale, why not just hit pause when there's not an immediate objective to clear?

Yeah, thinking about this more, I guess you’re right. There’s not really been an indication that Jon is a great fighter, just that he’s good. He certainly held his own in the battle at the Wall vs. the wildlings — killed the leader of the Thenns - but he wasn’t really more impressive than Thorne (strategically yes; in

Like Sansa and Theon leaping from the walls of Winterfell, I think the next time we see Bran and Meera, the writers will just handwave the zombie horde away; with a convenient bit of timing or terrain or coincidence.

I like the idea that running that theatre company is Jaqhen's side project, just for the love of it.

And so far, it seems Bran has no control over where and when he travels. If that condition remains, I think it lets the writers skirt some of the paradoxes without being too blatant about it.

Now we know why the WW army is taking so damn long to get to the Wall. Apparently, they spend a lot of time literally standing still.

I agree — she doesn't know explicitly that he commands the Vale, since that just locked in last episode. But I'd say she could easily extrapolate a line from what she saw at the Vale, especially LF manipulating Robyn after he killed Lysa, to there.

Yes, I agree that makes some sense. She's aiming for independence, and limiting her trust to as few people as possible. Her speech to Brienne about Jon sounded like she was trying to convince herself a little, too.
