You just want a black screen with text telling you what happens in broad strokes? You could get through a lot like that.

Right now resolution is what I crave so
I'll take it anyway I can get it. I am getting excited as the pieces move closer together though. I can't wait until Jon Sansa Arya and Bran are in the same room. It's gonna make me feel fuzzy things inside. At the very least Jon/Arya.

It's pretty funny that Arya would be back at Westeros and probably hear about Jon being king and him hanging out with Sansa and how the Starks won the north and poo poo and wouldn't haul her rear end over there asap or at least right after eliminating the Freys. Why would she need any other incentive? Sure her list, whatever, but just to drop and say hi what's the big deal? is that the one plot where distances and travel time actually matter?

Yeah perhaps she also forgot about Moat Cailin and how the north was never taken by a southron army, cause Sansa apparently did.

Yeah I didn't think about this last night but yeah she should be heading north. I will forgive if she heads that way after dudes said they missed their homes. That's all I'm in this for anymore is some good stark vibes. These stupid books. I feel sorry for all the people I got to read this poo poo back in the day.


Edit: like when Bran got to the wall last night I almost cried a tear. Not because it was overly emotional, but because it was a sign that something was actually about to happen after 20 years.

I don't think that history is predictive of future outcomes in scenarios where 90% of the North's forces are at the Wall and/or where Cersei tries to have Jon taken out by means other than a zergrush through the Neck, which I think were Sansa's points.

I mean the real answer is probably that Arya just chilling at Winterfell seems pretty boring?

He takes really weird assumptions and just runs with them. Like, he assumes that Arya has killed literally every Frey now, but I assume there's still plenty of them out there who didn't make it to the feast. Like, he just sort of assumed a dumb hypothetical and then went to task on the episode for not backing up his dumb hypothetical. "Were there no sick Freys who couldn't make it?" well if there were, why the gently caress would we see them?

If it's meant to be a parody of fan nitpicks, I guess it's doing a good job, but to me it seems sincere.

E: VVV This year, Dave Hill is a writer on the show.

I just didn't know what Sheeran looked like. It's a nice scene : shrug:. Also I don't know where people are reading "that scene proves she's indiscriminate!!!" because it's not present in that scene at all, and in literally the first scene of the season we see her specifically bar Frey's wife from drinking the poison.

Has anyone commented on how bizarre it is that everybody's wearing jet black all the time now? Cersei and the Night's Watch, OK fine, and I guess Arya's an assassin now, but by the time of the final scene when Dany, Tyrion, Grey Worm and whatshername were all dressed like Catwoman I started laughing.

Details details, Sansa telling Jon he's good at being king was enough for me to forgive anything. I just need easy answers and more positive poo poo to happen. 5 books of horrible things happening to the Starks and now we get Sansa of all people complementing Jon. Imagine book 1 and 2 Sansa saying anything nice to Jon at all.

I actually thought Sansa realizing that Robb and Ned were sort of dumbasses was pretty true to what might happen in the book, if that makes sense.
