The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
It's a shame GRRM will never finish the series because all this Lord murder clears the field for the sort of stuff he did well.

The Tullys, Martells, Tyrells and Baratheons are all gone. The Arryns and Lannisters are basically done and the Starks will have to go matrelinial to persist. There should be a massive amount of house politics going on right now.

Under the name Stark for sure - basically already, since Sansa ist still Sansa Bolton unless the King in the North or his future girlfriend annuls the marriage (or would the church have to do this in Westeros?).
By the way, if Jon Snow is Aegon Targayen, he's also legitimate and a Stark in all but name. Do male nephews come before female children or after in the north? Is Sansa still the heir or Jon/Aegon in this case?

Bran is heir whether he wants it or not. He hasn't taken any vows, and it's not like that stopped Jaime anyway.

Yes, Finchy.

It's sometimes weird that someone like him who is so super famous in the UK is a mystery to US viewers. I guess the same goes for Mark Gatiss having a cameo in this week's episode.

Only started watching it now but so far it is 100% consistent with the leaked plot outline.

The torrent posted on reddit is not very high quality though, 360p, though I consider it watchable.

From the screenshots I saw, the episode's less than 45 minutes long. The last few minutes of the episode look like a war scene with a dragon flying/burning scene around minute 43.

It's pretty dang blurry. I'll have to rewatch the battle scene when it's out properly.

Shockingly though this episode was pretty good. Bran gets a wheelchair and doubles down on autism, and Jon finds some really convenient children of the forest graffiti, but apart from that it works. Danny does the only smart thing she's done by taking a dragon and the dothraki and mulching Jaime's army. Food is mentioned as a thing that actually matters for armies(then Danny burns all the food but hey at least they tried).

Bronn laughs at Dickon's name, further cementing his position as Best Character.

Leaks are still 100% correct, and the episode turned out pretty good. Brienne going "gently caress your water bullshit" and booting Arya in the chest was great.

I did a little fist pump when Bronn got a shot in on Drogon, and I was all for Jaime on his suicide charge too. I'm not sure I watch this show correctly.

It looked like a hundred or so crossbowmen could easily make poo poo too dangerous for a dragon and his rider.

Didn't arrows pretty much bounce off the dragon's scales? It was too blurry to know for sure, but it seemed like anything short of a siege weapon would need to nail one in the eye to do any damage. The rider could get hosed up easily though.

All the other episodes have been varying degrees of bad, while this episode is like a solid 7 out of 10. Still schlock, but it's the first episode where there was no point where I was like "hey, that's dumb" (although Arya v. Brienne got close).

In the books they are supposed to be mentally connected to the dragons, like the Starks with the Direwolves, and ostensibly the Tullys with trout.
