Just searched that sentence in the Citadel archives… 404.

I'd watch Drogon fly for 15 minutes before I'd listen to Bran speak for 5.

No, killing The Night King is the key to dating Natalie Dormer.

"For the record: the behind-the-scenes are going with 'Frozen Lake Battle' for the name of the showdown here. Better than 'Loot Train Attack,' but still a bit too descriptive for my liking. Taking suggestions for alternatives."

Because there's no thread that can't be made 10 times worse with a discussion of abortion!

It'll be a very portentious moment when Gendry is offered some wine.

Or Arya watching who she thinks is Baelish but realizes it's herself.

A thing I wish I'd seen: Arya locks the door and walks away… slow zoom to Baelish watching Arya from the shadows… slow zoom past that to Arya impossibly having come from behind to watch Baelish having watched her. Then Baelish again behind that… then Arya…

Once again, we have scenes perfectly emblematic of the pace this season has taken: you thought for a second Davos might have to talk Gendry into leaving everything behind to join the fight and instead you get "Way ahead of you, bro. Let's roll." Same with the ruse Davos concocts, blown to bits by Gendry within…

Does Tyrion even understand what the Dothraki guy said?

That's the only thing that bothered me: not that all the majors (may) survive the battle, but the constant head fakes toward death. If nobody's going to die, fine, but then don't pull that last second escape garbage multiple times.

"It all felt so rushed."

But will it be as creepy/problematic as Observe and Report or The Switch?

Sold!

"I don’t think William’s arc worked nearly as well as it might have, but the expression of shocked joy on Ed Harris’s face when someone finally shoots his arm was marvelous." YES!

I'd say a curt "Thank you," silent staring, "Meh," and "I want ___ from you and I'm getting ___" are good starts.

Alyssa was handicapped by the fact that her best character is Alyssa. Anything else is less. Alaska's flipping the "Come up and see me" line into straight-up dysphemism was so brilliant it may have been my favorite of any season. But for overall impersonations, I'll stick with Sharon's Michelle Visage as the riskiest…

Don't forget the deceased Gareth Keenan!

Littlefinger, perhaps? Maybe that letter (and possibly even working with House Umber by having them turn Rickon over to Ramsay) was a ploy to get Jon to move on Winterfell, where House Umber will then turn and join the fray with House Arryn (and the wildlings) to defeat Ramsay. Ramsay killed Osha almost immediately…
