YES, thank you. I was looking for someone else to say it before I commented. It’s not in any of the reviews I’ve read this morning, which all said he was lucky. I did not get that sense. It seemed like supernatural protection.

She didn’t get Littlefinger after that conversation. She sent a Raven to him weeks prior. She didn’t know for sure if he’d show, but she didn’t even let Jon know that it might be in play, or was even an option. You don’t think he would’ve paid attention to the prospect of 1000s more armed troops on horseback?

THAT FACE. I want to adopt Lyanna Mormont, but she would probably be the better parent so she’s welcome to adopt me if she has time. I get deep feelings whenever I see her. I love love love that she didn’t stay in her castle (which would have been a totally understandable move for a ten-year-old) and actually marched…

It was pretty clear watching that Jon was being protected by the Gods or Red God or whoever. Every time right before he was about to get gutted, something happened. The troops surged past him, the calvary arrived, Tormund stabbed someone.

Yeah, shortsighted writing. “Let’s make a woman responsible for the victory! (in a way that totally undercuts her because we’re not really invested in strong feminist writing and can’t think things through).”

Ramsay may be a psychopath as a hobby, but inside that twisted mind is a very clever, very pragmatic Bolton.

For that matter, let’s talk about how dumb the Starks are on the whole. In addition to Sansa’s lack of communication and Jon’s poor battlefield strategy, we have:

There’s something about Rickon’s death that hits extra-hard. Maybe it’s because he was so young, maybe it’s because so much of his short life was spent on the run, enduring god knows what. But I think the real tragedy is that he’s one of the most glaringly innocent victims of the game of thrones the show has…

I think she’s finally gone from depression about her prophecy to full blown nihilism. Jamie’s gone again, Tywin’s dead, the children are dead or should be- time to gather everyone in one place and go Brunnhilda/gotterdammerung on everyone ‘like the heathen gods of old’.

I like the Cersei wildfire thing for one reason: Jamie killed the Mad King to prevent Aerys from burning the entire city to the ground. So does he now have to kill his sister to stop the same act? I've always thought that Jamie could be the only one who killed Cersei.

I thought it was just his jaw, but no way am I going through the frames to find out for sure.

Edmure made a comment, “you’ve held me captive for YEARS.” They also spoke of his son as already alive, and not waiting to be whelped like in the similar scene in the books. I couldn’t figure out how its been years, but if the kid is already alive, its been at least nine months that Cait’s been dead. That would be…

This ep was really remarkable for what DIDN’T happen... as in everything people thought WOULD happen. Syrio? Nope. Arya was actually Jaquen? Nope. Cleganebowl? Nope. LSH? Nope.

Yeah, and if they were “violently” fighting I can very easily see the driver inadvertently ramming the accelerator in the process. I am assuming there is more evidence that is not in the story, otherwise the murder charge just isn’t making sense.

Yes! I did notice she was with the Army good on her!

I would hit it like the fists of seven angry gods.

She’s not really all that useful at the moment (if anything a foreign priestess from a foreign faith is a huge liability when trying to negotiate with northern houses) so she’ll also be being kept out of the way most likely.

However it pans out I’ll enjoy the eventual scene of Euron showing up in Mereen with his ships and proposition for Dany.

The respect she commanded was absolute. And when Sansa was trying to appeal to her feminine side she was just like “fuck off” and Jon trying to appeal to her honourable side and she was just like “fuck. off.” And her little moment of vulnerability with Davos. I fucking loved her. I want all episodes with her now.
