He's no book Euron but showing him doing Victarion poo poo from the book is a decent enough compromise. Up until now he's been all talk so showing him doing anything but talk is an improvement.

- Reunions throughout the season: Arya + Bran + Sansa, Arya + Nymeria, Theon + Jon, Jon + Tyrion, Jorah + Dany, Sam + Bran, Jamie + Tyrion + Bronn
- The remaining Martells and Tyrells are hurriedly written out of the story: Euron kills the Sand Snakes 2 so far (!!!), Olenna confesses to killing Joffrey and then poisons herself

Paolo's menagerie in 300 is exactly the thing I think Euron would have on his ship.

The youngest daughter on family matters went up the stairs and Euron crashed into her bedroom and cut her throat.

This is canon now.

drat this episode was terrible.

I loved the fact that Euron killed the poo poo snakes but everything about that scene was so implausible. I guess it is in character for nobody to be smart enough to set a lookout with how dumb they've made everyone on the show. Also I'm sure that next episode we'll find that Euron somehow destroyed every last ship in Yara's fleet with his out of nowhere 1000 ship fleet because everything has become an all-or-nothing battle now in the rush to tie everything up in a neat bow. Theon was right to just nope on out of that.

Eunuch sex is stupid.

I'm sure that's all we'll ever see of Nymeria and the inside the episode with D&D pretty much confirmed that. Another direwolf fallen victim to the dragon CGI budget. Hell we haven't seen Ghost in forever and he's still alive.

Thank God Sam found the cure to greyscale. Cutting it off and putting ointment on the skin! At least it had a hilarious cut to the only good scene which was Arya and Hot Pie. Hot Pie should be the only character left after this shitfest is finished. Sitting on the Iron Throne by virtue of his culinary skills.

Good thing we'll be getting the next book in 2018 never.

I'm convinced that all the cgi budget to the dragons is just business talk for the ridiculous salaries the star power must cost. Because the dragons still look awful and the direwolf looked about as convincing as CGI Euron flying through the air on fire.

Just watch the expanse instead of this dumb show. It looks prettier at least.

So Theon is a coward again.

He knew he couldn't beat his uncle, let alone his uncle and all Euron's men who were still on the ship. Jumping overboard seemed smarter than rushing to his death and maybe getting his sister killed too.

Ghost has just up and vanished without any word or reason after he came back to life last season. You'd think the last direwolf (that we'd see for more than 10 seconds) would be around in some way but nope.

I don't doubt that a lot more budget is going to actor costs since they know the show needs them and the show's only boosted basically everyone's value.

If they didn't want to pay for CGI direwolves why couldn't they just use forced perspective with a malamute or something to make them look a little bigger?

The CGI direwolves make no sense if they're just going to be big wolves. Just take a regular wolf and do some of that clever LOTR style perspective shots. Or hell, just to have Ghost in the background just do the oldest trick in film, matte shots.

So basically the sole plot function of Greyjoys in this series was to move Daeny from Mereen to Westeros. Now they can all die.

Did anyone else think it was odd that Grey Worm was getting his gently caress on?

I mean, we all want to be close with someone but that was a head scratcher of a scene

e: gently caress PiV anyways I'm sure he gave Missandei a good time

Night King placed that mark on Bran that led him to the Three-Eyed Crow's place and might weaken the Wall now that Bran passed through it.

I like how sansa is just blindsided by jon leaving and her holding winterfell. Like he couldn't have pulled his sister aside for a 5 minute conversation in which he says "Uhh I'm putting you in charge, be ready."

Also there was a single scene that demonstrated dany had "too many cooks" on her council and needed some of them to be culled, and presto, it happened.

The impression I get is that Gurm gave them a big outline on stuff that was to come after ADwD, and they're implementing it as literally and shabbily as possible, i.e. his notes say "Arya kills most of the Freys", so she accomplishes a mass poisoning with logistics impossible by modern standards. Might also explain why Sam takes a realistic journey to Oldtown while everyone else beams directly to their destination.

I'd bet that gurm didn't even go that far and they're shooting from the hip at this point. He probably gave over a smattering ideas with none of the dots connected, at best.

Oh also, jon is once again an idiot, this time re: petyr. Make him an enemy without either killing him or ensuring he leaves, right as you are leaving...good call. "Stay away from my sister" doesn't mean much when she's running the place and he's still there while you aren't.
