The Sansa/Bran reunion was the only thing I cared about but they made that as awkwardly written and acted as possible.

I bet Sansa is really bummed out that Bran is back now. Talk about a loving awkward conversation.

I also love how during the first season Catelyn would travel incognito across the country and Varys would know about it, but now not once, not twice but thrice has a large fleet or army moved from one side of the map to the other and he didn't find out until like 2 days after they got hosed.

Those little birds in King's Landing were really good at their job. Whoever has control of them has control over the script.

Maybe that wasn't the main fleet and was just some partial fleet they keep near Pyke and the Iron Islands

Maybe Euron is still in KL

No I don't think so. His flagship was clearly at the head of that fleet.

They gave him an impossibly stupid over the top ship that stands out over the other ships of his fleet so that viewers could easily identify it as Euron's ship.

I mean granted, in a good script Euron would have 2 ships that look the same just to gently caress up with his enemies' minds and make them believe that he can be at 2 places at the same time.

But no, it's D&D's show. That's Euron's ship, the same one he used to attack the Sand Snakes, travel back to KL, and then (even if he wasn't aboard said ship) sent all the way around the continent and caught up with the Unsullied army that had a clear headstart over him.

In Jaime's case it makes sense since he can cut path through the country. Or the Lannister army could have rendezvous with him near Highgarden.

Euron's fleet had only one way to get to Casterly Rock from King's Landing and that was all around the continent.

Also it's too bad Dany has no informants or spies in Kings Landings because she could have gone on like a 20 min dragon flight and burned all of Eurons fleet.

Kings Landing pretty much has 3 full grown dragons right on top of them and they seem really chill about that.

There's no way they are the first ones to try "hmmm less episodes but twice as long" to get around that.

Euron will probably keep Yara alive so that Theon can try to rescue her, then Euron will kill Yara and Theon will kill Euron.

It'll probably be a Theon/Euron mutual-kill so that D&D can firmly bring the Greyjoy plotline to an end in one scene.

That would leave Yara alive. Is there a great house other than the Starks that isn't hurtling toward complete extinction?

Not the lords of any of the seven kingdoms.

Robin Arryn is the only one I can think of, and the Arryns continuing on rely on that goober not dying and then marrying and knocking someone up.

Bran scene was brutal. All the prophecies led to telling your sister that you're a peeping tom?

There were some great moments scattered across the episode. I definitely got chills when Dany and Jon met up and the bridge scene with Tyrion was great.

This whole time I really wanted to believe Tyrion was the best tactician but it's clear he's still wishing he was in bed with a few girls and some mulled wine.
