I liked that episode. The High Sparrow went from being Saint Thomas Becket to suddenly being Rasputin.

I'm not buying Margaery's newfound piety. I bet she cooked up a plot to make Tommen quit looking like a beta bitch and oust the High Sparrow and his freaks.

Sam's talk of all the many kinds of trees in the Reach this episode makes me think Euron's electorate may pay the iron price for their timber.

What was the implication of Dany's scene at the end? I have no idea what she just did. We already knew she was planning to use the Dothraki to invade Westeros. What did the rallying cry serve?

Now that was a good loving episode! Too much sam, but we still had time to move forward a ton of plots in cool and significant ways. Very good episode. Did nobody die? First episode this season with no deaths, and instead really good plot development. The ending was pure cheese, but it amended the part they missed out the episode with Daenerys coming out of the fire, where her dragon should have showed up. So they had the dragon show up and then she makes them swear loyalty, okay fine whatever. Its all good. The whole "wait here one minute" was silly but entertaining. They specifically said that Benjen Stark was NOT coldhands before, so either that was a fakeout or the show is just really going off the rails. Or I guess that could just be not-coldhands, but it seems like coldhands. Vegetable posted:What was the implication of Dany's scene at the end? I have no idea what she just did. We already knew she was planning to use the Dothraki to invade Westeros. What did the rallying cry serve? They saw all us nerds complaining that her dragon should have been what convinced everybody to follow her, and decided to patch it in.

There was a leak earlier saying "Benjen Stark is NOT Coldhands", I wonder if that was them deliberately trying to play everybody? Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 04:58 on May 30, 2016 |

What did the rallying cry serve? i took it as illustrating her cemented leadership over the dothraki, her ironclad intention to personally abandon meereen and show that drogon is now loving enormous and she's able to ride him when she wills.

Tommen is the dumbest motherfucker alive and still just does whatever the last person who talked to him told him to do. He's basically an Iron Islands voter. He's a skinny Hodor with a slightly bigger vocabulary.

I think the goal of the plan was to get Loras out of jail as quickly as possible, since he was clearly breaking. Once they were both out and ostensibly working with the Faith, she could set about making a plan to get rid of the Sparrow once and for all, but for now she had to focus on the immediate problem.

Hopefully that swing still takes out the other combatant, thus continuing the Mountain's streak of winning trials-by-combat but dying in the process.

Too much Sam (any Sam is too much) and the last scene was a dumb excuse to show a dragon. Dany's actress must have had a minimum episode credit in her contract because the ending was pointless. Good otherwise

Episode owned. This season owns. I'm not even going to complain about the nitpicky poo poo like the Tyrell army's armor looking awful outside of Mace and his bangin' hat, episode was fantastic. Blackfish hype, Benjen hype, Sam (sorta) manning up for once, Jamie maybe actually getting to do something for the first time in what feels like forever, the list goes on. More things have happened every episode this season than happened the entirety of last season. No major characters died this episode though, the Streak.

I thought Tyrell's armor was supposed to be dumb. Tyrell's a big, dumb goof. Jaime made a face when he saw him.
