No, Arya would probably try to kill Cersei, and succeed or fail Sansa wouldn't shed a tear.

It's easy enough to assume that maybe Davos had a code word to convince Tyrion, since we never see any of the messages.

That thing sending Brienne away was a bit weird. I'm not sure if it was meant to imply Sansa thinks Littlefinger wants Brienne to take out Arya, and she is stopping that, or if she is removing an impediment for someone else to take out Arya. I suppose she could have easily just tried to send Arya to King's Landing to

I seem to recall some of her servants calling her Dany in seasons 1-2, but that would be it.

Viewers worried about the nebulous use of time on the show won't be
satisfied by this one. How the frak long were Jon's group stranded in
the middle of that lake? There was time for Gendry to run all the way
back to Eastwatch, become coherent enough to actually tell Davos what to
put in the message. Then all the time

It seems to me the first five seasons were more of a precision instrument in how they moved all the pieces around and took their time with the set-ups. Whereas the past two seasons have felt more like a blunt object in just unleashing plot developments and payoffs on the audience. Hence the quicker pace, since the

With all the time-condensing this show does, and the fact that Dany doesn't seem in any hurry to leave Dragonstone on another mission as she waits for Jon to return, I have to wonder if she gave any consideration to just flying a dragon up to the Wall to scope out the wight army herself.

It looked like the message Littlefinger planted was Sansa denouncing Ned and advising her family to submit to Joffrey's rule. I suppose Littlefinger hopes to wedge the sisters apart. Perhaps having Arya turn on Sansa will get Jon to support her, forcing Sansa to turn on Jon and giving Littlefinger an opening to form

Well, she's looking at Jon that way and Jorah knows it

I always got the impression that she was born around the time her father was deposed, with her mother having been sent to Dragonstone to keep her away from the war, and then after she was born and her father killed, her handlers escaped with her and her brother into exile on Essos. So the idea that she has never been

I quite enjoyed seeing some of the battlefield strategies on display, especially Jamie gathering his archers hoping to take a quick shot at Drogon in hopes of a stray arrow hitting Dany. And how futile that turned out to be with her counter strategy of turning his scales to them to protect her. And then how this set

"Overseeing the carnage is Tyrion, although I’m not too clear on how he
got there considering he was still on the beaches of Dragonstone after
Dany had already left."

As for the travel time, if we allow for time for the Lannisters to visit all the farms surrounding Highgarden and collect those crops, which have then been gathered by the time they are attacked, I suppose that could account for the time needed to transport the Dothraki to near King's Landing.

Well, I assume his parentage would influence his potential relationship with Daenerys.

But I think it's in character given her experiences. Even at the beginning of the show she was the Stark who most admired the royal life, and wanted it so badly as a girl. She learned a lot from the pitfalls of that life subsequently, and thus Jon asking if she admires Cersei is no accident. She is playing the game

The only outwardly thing Bran is good for plot-wise is to tell Jon who his real parents are. Other than that I'm not sure. Controlling dragons in battle, maybe?

What happened to Scott should justify inviting him back onto the show, in my opinion. He would have had a runaway if not for the fact that they ruled him incorrect and later reversed the decision, but that left Kelly with just enough money to edge past him when he was forced to make a normal bet. Stuff like that just

No, just the Jeopardy writers having some fun with the category names. In Double Jeopardy the last two categories were "Shaka," about the African warrior, and "When the Walls Fell," about famous walls. "Shaka, when the walls fell" is a quote from the Star Trek The Next Generation episode "Darmok," which is more than

It's fun how they set her up as a Kurt Angle type, only to completely undercut that thread.

I think the fine line between homage and ripoff is that an homage is done with some expectation that the audience will recognize the source, whereas when they're just ripping something off they either don't want or don't care if anyone notices.
