yeah the reddit spoilers where right, if we are thinking of the same one. Also the episode have both the waif and blackfish die of screen. It's not a good episode.

Also Danny is back. She legit flew onto the balcony mid battle to save the day... Off screen.

What a wonderfully lovely episode

Not even a little glimpse of dragons raining hell fire on the boats. Boo.

Maybe that's next week though idk.

What was even the point of Arya's entire arc? Family dies, she escapes, She wanders westeros, more family die, she goes to Bravos, becomes a faceless man only to quit immediately to.. Go back to westeros? What

Her arc got time crunched but did you really want lots of her getting hit with a stick?

That's all they did for her development

Now she's a rebel *shocker*

The forest scene of Sandor getting his Punisher on is everything I'd hoped for after last episode. Show might not be great but the guy who plays the Hound is cool.

Him chilling on the bank of the river really made me think we were going to see Stoneheart but maybe we'll get it next week (but hopefully never because it's a dumb character).

Goes back to Westeros with training from the guild of face changing assassins who are basically the best in the world at killing people. Returns to the North, pairs up with Sansa: gently caress Your Bullshit Edition and spends the rest of the series murdering everyone who crossed their family?

I was expecting Euron with 1000 quickly made ships to just show up and kill the slavers but maybe Dany by herself with a dragon flying away will be enough.

It's too bad to see Tyrion fail but you definitely get the sense that they are setting up Missandei and Grey Worm to lead when Dany leaves.

But a really crappy episode. I was hoping more between Strong and the Seven. I guess the wildfire theories are true.

They are doing a good job of bringing back in the loose ends so they can kill them off. I guess Berrick and Thoros are next. Now they just need Old Nan back.

Stoneheart sucked in the book and the only reason she exists is to kill Freys which is a great reason to exist but something other than a zombie catelyn would have been much better.

And now the Lannister army is headed south, the Dornish army heading north, the Reach army already in the capital, and the militant faith already in the capital. That's going to be a lot of armies incinerated.

Theory: Tommen is worse than Joffrey

Evidence: Tommen outlawed CLEGANEBOWL



This episode:

Cons:

Arya is Arya and survived mortal wounds
No CLEGANEBOWL
Mereen is hella stupid
The Waif died offscreen
The siege of Mereen happened offscreen
The motherfucking Blackfish died offscreen

Pros:
Beric Dondarrion is still the poo poo
No Dorne
No Idiot Vikings
Zombie Mountain / Gregor / Bob Strong loving pulled that cocksucker's head right the gently caress off

Yes, but it feels like there was going to more of a payoff here. If the point of her arc is that "Arya can pretend to be whoever but at the end of the day she can't stop being Arya" then I don't think we needed five seasons of watching her run away from home to find that out. As it stands Braavos feels like a year-long training montage that results in a few minutes of character development.

Was anyone else worried about the tone of the scene with Varys leaving? The music, pacing, and dramatic goodbye banter gave me a bad feeling that the Spider's days are numbered and he might possibly perish offscreen.

The series finale is a everyone still alive on the show sitting in tents or small indoor sets talking about their various looming threats, fade to black, Jon Snow walks up to Dany and says "it's a shame [names every living character in the series] died in that battle".

Then Dany bares her rear end and a volcano of poo poo erupts from her disproportionately huge and luxurious child-bearing british white girl b-donk.

I just really want to see the Hound murder everyone, he's truly the shining light in this boring boring season. Since the show never lets someone answer a question before cutting to the next thing, what do you think he'll do you guys? Stick with the brotherhood? Become a gravedigger? Marry Beric?!

Isn't the waif explicitly not an assassin but just a servant in the temple, in the books anyways? Even in the show there's nothing that suggests she's fully trained considering she's easily as temperamental as Arya and she even explicitly ignores the order to make Arya's death quick and painless. Her stabbing attempt was very, very personal.

Didn't list Sandor's sweet revenge as a Pro? :getout:

He even had the best line of the night with his annoyed "really? That's what you want your last words to be?" comment to the guy he just castrated with a woodsman axe.

I don't care what he does next as long as it involves more :black101: as gently caress killing.

Wai-Fu QT-2000. Can change her appearances at will. Can imitate loved ones voices. Unstoppable killing machine.

Anyway, so did I read this correctly? The waif killed arya, took her face, and left her own waif face behind to prove that truly she is no one. I mean why else would Jaquen let her walk out of there alive.

Also Exit Stage Left the Blackfish and Enter Stage Right Dany were both cringe inducing.
