Do we think Tyrion is getting fired? Do the two lesser dragons have his back since he unshackled them four/five episodes back? That scene had to have been for a reason, right? (Holding back my cynicism that it was for no reason.)

To find Bran or Arya, loop them in?

100% correct. Though 'Hold the Door' was an amazing episode for several reasons, too. But episodes 6-8 this season have been a colossal let down.

The past three episodes were calm before the storm; it's too late in the series/season to fill several hours with table setting and subpar material. I love the hell out of this show but episodes 6-8 were largely (not completely) boring or frustrating. Only the acting has saved any of it.

The two older dudes in that group of four were part of the three who initially rode into the hippy commune camp to threaten/beg alms. The two younger guys were 'innocent' Bannerless Bros. Unless the implication is that they rode along for the massacre.

Yeah and the way she said it was doubly vicious. I think they wanted her to seem tough or something but she came across as a little crazy.

I don't think Tyrion's location is relevant to that moment in the throne room. Why would an exchange about his whereabouts take place just after Cersei and Qyburn find out the trial by combat option with Mountain is gone? They have to be referring to a previously discussed (between them, off screen) backup plan to…

I think the point is to set up irony between play-character Cersei as bereaved over her son and actual Cersei, who will soon kill her other son.

Definitely

Arya needs to find the skinny man from last season and buy nautical insurance for the trip home just to send a double fuck-you message to Jaqen for wasting two years of everyone's time.

Not just soup. Prop band aids.

She can't and they won't. So it was a waste. Which is maddening as hell.

And zombie giant deterrents are expensive.

I'm hoping Rickon is already dog food.

And cliché. Runner Number One slides under obstacle, Runner Number Two leaps over same. Weak.

Her wide eyed grin at one point was atrocious. They can't decide whether she's a cold blooded killer or a sadist from one episode to the next.

Agree 100% re Dany and Varys. Would have really really enjoyed scenes with the two of them. But somehow they're never in the same spot at the same time.
