Good point. Where was Ghost? Though, if he was in the battle he either would have made it less realistic with his super killer skills, or he would have (more likely) had to die before it was over.

I was including force multiplier.

Each is worth ten normal men!

I want to say I was disappointed since the entire episode was completely and utterly predictable from start to finish, from Dany’s dragons to the Vale’s cavalry to Ramsay’s dogs.

I guess you could say the new leadership of Winterfell stands in Stark contrast to the previous one.

He wasn’t retconned, he was an asshole. The decision of whether or not to kill him was left to readers, it was readers, not DC editorial, who decided to get rid of him. As Evan said, he became the Robin Batman couldn’t save. I regret his resurrection more than his death. A dead Jason Todd as a symbol of Batman’s…

She was probably in the water, about to dramatically rise out, but then the Hound started pissing on her and she realized it wouldn’t be the right time. So instead, she’s just gonna chill a few more seasons.

You are a fucking psycho.

But wasn’t Arya able to peel a jaqen face off Jaqen, then underneath were several other faces, including Arya’s? The mechanics of faceless man cosplaying are confusing.

Homosexuality isn’t a choice.

Shelton Meribald.... Cocksucker!!!

I’ve come to expect dumb writing after how they handled Areo Hotah and Prince Doran. The need for events to happen takes precedence over plausibility, at this point.

Most of Arya’s arc has been laden with terrible decision-making. She’s so blinded by revenge that it’s set her back incredibly far. This episode doesn’t surprise me one bit.

I agree. It has to be a dream sequence - after having spent so much time with the FM, I find it unbelievable that she would not anticipate that they would come after her.

Tad Cooper?

Fundamentally the show is really good at depicting the arbitrary morality of medieval life, but it adds the Starks as a moral center that just didn’t exist. And I think that’s one of the show’s main questions for itself—are we going to allow the Starks to be moral heroes, or are we going to show how ruthless the…

Dany’s speech was only notable for underlining how shit her invasion plan for Westeros is. Mass killing and infrastructure destruction! Good to see she’s finally thinking long term *dramatic eye-roll*.

Can someone explain how we got from her barely having any control over her dragons to being able to wander off behind a hill and suddenly being totally in control of her wildest dragon? The only milestone between those points was the same dragon saving her from assassination, only to drop her off in the middle of the…

I don’t know but that speech at the end was awful. I’m getting sick of her end of show speeches. How many more rah rah speeches are we going to hear?

I get that the show likes closing on dragons, but I think Arya blowing out the candle would have been a better capper to the episode. Dany yelling at people about how she’s going to conquer the world is something that we’ve seen before. Arya turning her back on the faceless men and The Waif being sent after her?…
