Just watched it. I like how Euron killed the Sand Snakes with their own special weapons. Stabbed Speary with her own spear (broken in half), choked Whippy with her own whip. I'm guessing next week the other two are going to be poisoned and dagger stabbed a lot.

Based on the pirates reaction I think they have something ranging from ransom to rape in store for the living Sand Snakes. If they were gonna kill em they'd just go ahead and kill them there. I guess this is building to some arc where Theon redeems himself by sneaking in and freeing Yara and the sand snakes? I hope the snakes just disappear forever. Yara will probably be a bargaining chip between Cersei and Daenerys and will be Euron's present to Cersei. drunken officeparty posted:Has a whip ever actually been used in combat by anyone at any time against anything other than a cow Outside Indiana Jones?  Le Saboteur posted:I just hate that everything about Euron is so unearned on this show. It's such a bummer compared to the books. Yeah they really had zero time to set him up, its just HEY HERE'S YOUR UNCLE EURON, sorry Yara no king for you! But at least pirate battle was kinda cool?

Also I wonder if this show will ever remember that they set up Theon as a master marksman with a bow.

Since they killed her daughter he is going to let her go all Cersei crazy on them.

drunken officeparty posted:Has a whip ever actually been used in combat by anyone at any time against anything other than a cow Castlevania on Netflix actually showed this pretty well. Just destroying fingers and eyes with each crack. Really captured the force behind a good bullwhip. Think of all those stories of people getting a couple of lashes and passing out or dying in real life. The sandsnakes just got a whip from hot topic or some poo poo. Had no force behind it at all.

Is Littlefinger betraying Ned Stark well-known to the other characters? Him telling Jon he was sad when Ned died seemed particularly brazen if so.

The show's literal only other Lord in the Vale hates Littlefinger and the only reason Littlefinger keeps power is because he can manipulate Robin. Killing him now would be really really smart.

The directing has been poo poo. When they released the list of directors late last year it was pretty obvious this was going to happen. fyi Mike Mylod is the guy who directed the Arya-Waif chase scene and called it the greatest chase scene in cinematic history

I guess Littlefinger's hanging around because he's in love with Sansa? Because Sansa and Jon have both told him to gently caress off, and Sansa knows he helped kill her dad. Except last season he married her off to someone else, so how much could he really love her?

He has a pretty severe case of PTSD and it just kicking in in that moment I thought was well done. And the look on his sisters face as she realized what was happening with him.

I'm really interested in where his character's going to end up, because it feels like everyone in a position of power has his number these days. He needs to become lord of the Vale for real if he wants to stay in the game, but the only way to do that is for him to ice Sweetrobin, and no matter how that happens he's going to be the prime suspect. I guess I'm alright if he just meets a lonely, ignominious end after being stripped of all his land and titles. He's never been as clever as he thinks.

Who knows what he'll end up doing in the books. Because the books are never being written.
