I really appreciated that the episode didn't have a moment in the first half where Meera's sharpening her spear or something and says, 'Boy, I hope Sam was right about this dragonglass killing white walkers.'

The costumed, replaceable characters will never be phased out. Luke and Leia will need to retire or die, but Chewbacca, R2D2, BB-8, and to a lesser extent C3PO will be around until the series, or time, ends.

My dad makes this joke every time Tom Waits, or something spuriously connected to Tom Waits or his songs, comes up.

I agree, but he's only been a primary agent for 2 episodes, and he's pretty clearly on his way out. People who don't like him won't have to put up with him for long.

I thought that was a really sad moment. Jorah's been listening to Daario's mindgames - he stopped being a hypercompetent warrior until the second that snarky tit started talking about shagging Daenerys.

(Confused viewers after the end credits of the final episode)

I wanted him to tell her to bugger off. 'You don't like Margaery do you? In fact, now that I think about it, you handed those religious nutjobs all the power they wanted just so that you could get rid of her. Well Mum, fuck off while I talk with Pycelle. He seems pretty on the ball.'

Not really - the second Cersei loses her power, she stands to lose everything: her three children are the products of incest, and, since her being Queen relies on their perceived legitimacy, she needs to be powerful to protect them.

'Outside of Viserys, Joffrey, Tywin and Ser Gregor' - well those guys are - bar the White Walkers - the biggest villains (or just antagonists, in Tywin's case).

Olly's a good couple of years - 4? - younger than Jon was, and really had flip all options with his family dead and living up in the ass end of the continent. He's also an adolescent, not a mature young adult like Jon was. Jon's decision to stay loyal to the watch (he did get talked back into returning by Sam and…

I don't think they failed with Ramsay: I think he and Gregor Clegane are supposed to be the only out and out monsters in Westeros. Even Joffrey's clearly a product of his environment (less so in the show - I didn't like the change from Cersei doting on him to knowing he was awful).

I've said it before, but I'll say it again - Olly's death is tragic, not cathartic!

President Trump will use next May the 4th as a chance to announce the building of a new Trump Star. 'It's gonna be beautiful… we're gonna destroy so many planets.'

No, they definitely had all their equipment taken away. I think the prevalence of non-voluntary penectomies and/or castrations mean doctors in Westeros can patch you up pretty quick, leaving you infection free and with a functioning urinary tract.

We also have the MASSIVE internet hive mind working away - if you read about and discuss shows in depth online you forfeit the right to expect to be shocked and surprised by every twist, especially if it's one big enough to require set-up.

I think doing that would result in her being swiftly dispatched. Pragmatically, she's got absolutely nothing to gain telling him about it, and they weren't close enough that she'd want to get it off her chest.

I can't think of a prophecy from any fiction which simply doesn't come true - they're always simply delayed, fulfilled with a monkey's paw twist, or fulfilled in a way which clarifies their obscure wording.

The person performing it AND the person it's being performed on, is what I think. I think it'll turn out Jon was who she thought Stannis was.

I find the hate directed Olly's way really overblown. In his introductory scene the wildlings brutally murdered his defenseless parents in front of him, told him they were going to eat his mother's corpse, and then, with a knife to his face, ordered him to go tell the Night's Watch. He then fights against the…

He doesn't know. Why would Melisandre tell him?
