Guys, I don't think the gold made its way to KL. Hence the title of the scene "Loot Train...". Also, as it's been noted the Iron Bank rep said "once the payment is made" or whatever. They got got That battle owned so much and I'm disappointed in myself for having watched the trailer. One can only wonder what the true shock felt like to hear Drogon's roar and see Jaime's momentary look of pure horror. I blame HBO for making me hold out for so long. Edit: Jaime should've died in that scene. It would've been an honorable death to see him get roasted and blow away in the wind as ashes right in front of Dany. The shot of him riding past the wreckage was unbelievable. Could totally see a statue of him in KL (should they survive) riding his horse with his spear pointed out front.

Look it is a strong tradition to post without paying any attention to any part of the episode except the 20 seconds you are making a wild theory about. I can't believe Arya killed Brienne I am still crying.

We have group watches where no one looks at their phones and 3 of the 5 people didn't catch that the gold got through It was weird to relegate it to one line when the last two episodes have been harping about THE GOLD THE GOLD and you've even got the Iron Bank guy being all, "can't wait to be allies when the gold gets here" to such an extreme degree that he may as well winked at the audience....only to just have the gold arrive without any problems, offscreen. Not to mention the endless shots of Dany burning up an entire caravan. The visual language and dialogue forshadowing were completely upended by one line staged in a really benign way, it was a weird call for info like that.

Well the banker scene was really just to forshadow the golden company and not the boring payment. Euron gonna steal that gold anyway and buy a statue of him giving Jamie's sister the old Pyke the size of the Bravos statue.

That was a great loving episode. I can't imagine Jaime dies right there. I'm sure he'll get saved somehow. Bronn owns, especially when he laughed at Dickon. And Bran is a real dick these days.

Great episode overall. It was mostly fan-service but I won't pretend I don't like to be pandered to. Only real complaints are the cave drawings (seriously that scene was extremely dumb) and the absurd amount of plot armor that Jaime and Bronn have now. Multiple times Jaime just sat on his horse looking dumbly at the dragons, and Bronn spent 5 full minutes standing out in the open firing a giant ballista, all while hordes of blood-thirsty dothraki swarmed them. But it was worth it to see Arya show off and finally see some dragon action. PantsBandit fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Aug 8, 2017 |

Mostly because her past few seasons haven't really paid off into it. We've seen her practice sword moves alone, barely beat some people alongside the monster fighter that is the Hound, and do non-combat faceless training. Apparently off-screen she became a ninja. I really wish they handled all that differently. This scene felt like payoff to a plot that didn't happen. Also having Maisie Williams do that sword twirl over and over looked dumb.

That being said, I'd laugh my rear end of if we never see or hear from him again because well, he loving drowned. My money is on Euron in his kraken form snatching him from the depths of Shitcreek Abyss River.

Brienne wasn't trying to hurt her, even when she was taking it seriously. The difference between the two of them was that Arya could put her all into it, but Brienne had to hold back or she would've risked seriously hurting Arya. Arya's many fights with the Waif taught her how to avoid getting hit, and the Waif was significantly faster than Brienne. It wasn't a "real" fight since Brienne couldn't go all in and Arya took full advantage of that. Like even when Brienne caught her with the kick to the chest, you could see she had the look on her face of "oh poo poo, did I just break my ward's ribs?"

Also, Arya bringing real weapons into a practice fight. Especially that dagger. The dialogue established she respects Brienne and she doesn't seem to have a problem with Sansa such that she'd want to remove Sansa's protection, but using real weapons suggests (especially valyrian steel) she either wants to kill Brienne or doesn't give a gently caress if she does. That's also something Brienne should've at least called out.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Yeah, the physics of that kinda did take me slightly out of the scene, though it's probably easier to deflect blows when your opponent is trying to not actually hit you. Right, that was my thought as well. There's no way Brienne was putting her full weight behind those swings because if she were and she'd connected with one she'd probably break some bones.

Even so, arya was fighting *one handed*. it just looked silly. But I enjoyed this episode even though it was full of the reasons I haven't much liked the last few, so I guess I should just shut up and enjoy the dragoncineration

Even though they're fairly big, longswords are very lightweight. Most of them weigh only like 1-1.5 kilograms, with the centre of mass close to the hilt. And a smallsword like Arya's, while being quite a bit lighter at ~0.5-0.75 kg, is still a very stiff bit of actual steel. They made a point of showing her deflecting Brienne's attacks sideways, perpendicular to the direction of the swings, rather than trying to block them head-on. That's actually reasonably doable and doesn't take all that much force.

Yeah, she was parrying the blows sideways with the strong of her blade. That looked totally fine. And ironically, Gwendolin Christie swinging a sword like it's a baseball bat goes without comment. Although to be fair, nearly everyone else on the show does too.
