Yeah, there was no right decision there. He made the one that was sentimentally right but strategically wrong. And yes, Sansa should have told him. In hindsight, her reasoning of "I couldn't trust you to not mess it up" is fair given how he handled the Rickon situation, but notifying him of the existence of the…

Obvious advice that he still didn't heed, though. Some people need practical advice.

Yessssssssssssss

Keeping timelines straight has never been the show's strong point, but I think there's enough evidence to safely say that Euron launched for KL well before Dany launched for Dragonstone. Euron stared building ships as soon as Theon and Yara left for Mereen. They arrive there in last season's finale, after which…

Jamie. His dismay with her in this episode only solidified my opinion further. Arya's stated goal is a red herring.

Missed a great opportunity to have him lounging on the throne, David Bowie in Labyrinth style.

They are definitely framing them to be reminiscent of Ned and Cat in scenes like that. I'm not sure if they are doing that to recall Ned and Cat's romance or the fact that they were the Starks in charge at Winterfell, but I'm leaning towards the latter.

In her defense, her ultimate advice of "don't do what he wants you to do" was exactly what Jon should have done and yet failed to do.

Does Show Euron have Dragonbinder? I don't remember if that came up at the Kingsmoot.

I know he saw White Walkers and Eastwatch and probably a mountain that is near the castle and blah blah blah, but since when does the Lord of Light speak in anything but metaphor?

Yup, between the soldiers talking about their lives at home and the Hound burying the family he robbed, this was as AFFC as the show has gotten since Arya and the Hound were gallivanting around the Riverlands back in season 4.

What made that scene even better was how we've been conditioned to expect the worst from a situation like that. A bucolic, southern setting wherein a young woman shares food and wine with a group of singing soldiers (one of whom has the voice of an angel)? That's ending in attempted rape or murder, at best. Here we…

That's the most racist thing I've heard this month, and earlier this month I learned that some distant cousins live in a place called Lynchfield Plantation, Mississippi.

This is where is arc has been heading since the early 90s. Good long form storytelling, universe.

He hasn't really been in the show enough to get a good feel for his character previously, but I liked these choices as well. Charismatic and charming as hell with insanity and menace clearly bubbling right beneath is a good way to go. Translating him directly from the book wasn't going to work without Victarion,…

Oh god DAMMIT Joe would have been PERFECT. Shit. Now I'm angry.

The show knew they had a breakout character on their hands, and they gave the people what they wanted.

TV

Euron was awesome. We didn't see enough of him last year to really get a good grasp on his character, but playing him as obviously, dangerously insane with a veneer of aggressive charm laid over it is a great move. He's charismatic as hell, but you just know he can turn that on a dime.

My grades for each segment would…

I ended up going B+. I agree with Spy that there were a couple of strands of subtext shot through the episode, and this was one of their better examples of checking in on the status of all its storylines, but there were a couple of beats that were essentially repeated from the S6 finale and I prefer to reserve A level…
