It doesn't matter though is the thing. From the moment Tyrion said something like "the castle walls are impenetrable" it was pretty obvious that there will either be a structural defect or a secret way in, as it's been done to death by now.Originally Posted by Ian
All child actors are pretty, it's why they get hired.
Didn't the Stealer of Scenes get into Yunkai (or Astapor, or whichever crap place it was) that way as well?
Yeah.
Grey Worm, Daario and Jorah snuck in some back entrance killed a few and opened the main gates.
ANDREA LEADSOM
Nothing to see here.
Next episode has leaked if ya can't wait
I thought I couldn't wait, a few years ago. The thought makes me sad now.
"Flee, you idiot. You fucking idiot."
Fantastic episode. Plenty of Bronn. Jamie and Tyrion are becoming properly relevant again. All is well.
Best episode of the season so far, easily.
With the exception of last year's finale it's the best episode they've done since Hardhome.
It might just be the hype of only just seeing it, but I feel like that might be the best episode ever for me.
The problem with all the other battles is you usually clearly want one side to win, and even on that side there's only 1-2 characters you really care about. This was a whole new level.
Fucking hell I loved that.
Yeah, it certainly got things moving again.
Absolutely spot-on. At no stage was I sure who would survive it, or even who I wanted to survive it. At various points I was pretty sure that Bronn and the dragon would die, and when Jaime charged, I couldn't see any way of him surviving. It was just a really well-sequenced battle, and we're running out of redshirt characters now, so everyone matters.
Yeah that sums it up well, I only thought Daenerys was a safe banker.
I was so glad that Bronn didn't die, I was sure he was for the chop.
Absolutely brilliant episode.
I also loved the training scene between Arya and Brienne.
I'm not sure what to make of dickhead Brann 'I'm not Brann' Stark. I hope he dies but he's clearly been set up to be something special which is shit.
It's a bit weird that I had to google the whole "chaos is a ladder" thing though. I'm all for easter eggs and the likes but that one was a rather big scene.
I didn't pick that up either. Rang a bell, but had to Google. Back when Littlefinger and Varys were beastly.
Was also convinced Jerome was on his way out. Chuffed he's been kept on. Couple of the second tier characters are bound to go in the next three episodes, whilst Jamie's story has too much left in the tank for him to get grilled at this stage...although they nearly had me.
I thought the 'chaos is a ladder' bit was quite well known?
If Bran is ALL KNOWING why doesn't he let his sisters know that Jon isn't actually their brother but their cousin?
I guess so. Once I rewatched it it came flooding back, but during the episode it drew a blank.
Get over it, 'How. You were never right for the part anyway.
Because he doesn't give a toss. He needs to take one in the lung as soon as possible.
I enjoyed that the Arya v Brienne tussle was basically Oberynn v Mountain in miniature. It's the first time they've actually showed Arya having a scrap, isn't it?
The final battle was wonderful for reasons mentioned before. It reminded me of something you'd see in an old Western, with a squad of howling Sioux or something taking out an unprepared division of settlers, only with a fuck off dragon. I want the Maker of Popcorn to come out on top because the alternative is Cersei, and fuck Cersei, but I like Jaime and Bronn too much to want them dead, underlined by Bronn openly lolling at Dickon's name.
But he should give a toss, his primary goal is to ensure that the Night King is defeated right? He obviously knows that dragons would help a lot in that regards and surely she would be willing to help without Jon bending the knee (just do it ffs) if she knows that he is her half-brother.
He's her nephew.
I blame the inbred lineage for that mistake.
She's still more likely to help her nephew than some random dude.
If Bran told Arya and Sansa they could get the message out there.
The last Three Eyed Knobhead sat under a tree for thousands of years doing nothing, so the post-holder obviously doesn't think in terms of plans and helping people (other than sustaining itself). He's just there coasting along the spectrum oblivious to it all.
I think what they're going for is that he's lost all concept of what a familial connection is, so while he knows exactly who and what Jon is now, he doesn't get why it's important. It's a bit of a quick descent into utter shittery, but it fits with what they've showed in his reunions with Sansa and Arya.
I'm the more well versed with the series among my friends and I barely remembered it. And we're not your average viewer either. Given the lengths the series has gone to at times to reminds us things that seemed like a very odd exception.
Davos was a don once again it has to be said.
It was probably his most critical scene in the whole programme, you wally. Wor Davos correcting Jon Snow's grammar was a nice callback as well.
Fantastic episode.
Would also agree chaos is a ladder is well known enough for it to be revisited in the way it was. Really well done.
Watching "chaos is a ladder" now and it was a good scene but I had zero recollection of it. It really wasn't big enough to just throw it in and expect people to remember it.
It's Littlefinger's most important scene and one of the more famous lines in the whole show.
And yet no one remembers it.
Of those who've posted so far more remember it than don't.
I didn't.
That evens it out. Lol at you not remembering, you're all about booking everyone else to death.
How do you expect the average viewer to remember is more my question to be honest. I've talked to 10-15 odd people about it and genuinely noone remembered.
Because it was a defining moment for a major character.
Do you remember Cersei doing 'power is power'? As I remember that was a fair while before 'chaos is a ladder'.
Do you remember when Joffrey died? Do you know what year it is?
I did clock the line, but forgot who said it initially.
That said, what a fucking episode that was. It's been said, but I genuinely had no clue who was going to end up as barbecue brisket during that battle. Olenna must have been lolling from beyond the grave at the Griller of Sausages decimating the entire Lannister army.
Who was Jaime sending to Casterley Rock to wait out the Unsullied starving to death? Was it just the Lannister army? It was mentioned last episode but can't remember.
The griller of sausages might be my new favourite.
My memory is crap but I will manage to remember some fluff that I have no need of for ages.
It was Meatloaf and his fleet of fuck off ships.
Pretty cool battle, if a little one-sided. Hitting Drogon with one of those arrows sets it all up for at least one or two of them being killed, later wont it.
And probably coming back as undead at some point.
Also, not surprised Jaime survived, as he's about nailed on to end up as the one killing Cersei, isn't he?
Quite hope Jon Snow keeps his balls and doesn't bend the knee to the Queen of Oneliners.
On another note, while most of this series all seems to be playing towards the all-expected "Man versus Zombie" finale, I'm still really quite puzzled by what Littlefinger is the fuck up to. After Varys and Melisandres little "we're the common folk" chat in the last episode I'm starting to think something along the lines of Jon & Denearys save the realm and mankind and what have you, but all important people end up dying in the end battles and that - In the end peace comes and the lands are all ruled by Littlefinger & Varys (possibly as part of some ridiculous old cult or some shit like that) who were the only ones who didn't manage to get themselves killed.
At least I have a vague recollection of reading or hearing George Martin saying he envisaged an ending to the saga that was bittersweet, and that seems like a plausible one - it ends alright for the people but none of the fucking characters you care about.
Melisandre proclaimed Varys' death.
She didn't say when but you'd have to think it would be this season.
So Littlefinger to own it all with his shit accent.
Littlefinger is not long for this world either is my understanding.
If Littlefinger dies at this point, what the fuck was the point all along...?
EDIT: And also, why do you think so @Adramelch ?
It's mostly been theories I've heard/discussed with friends, nothing solid. But with Arya having seen him mingle with Tywin Lannister, Bran being Bran and Jon Snow not liking him you'd imagine his chances are not the best.
