I gotta say, Gendry's actor is one of the better ones on this show. He actually emotes, even when he's given totally ridiculous material to work with.

The Fellowship of the Wight at the end was totally ridiculous, the show is just going all in on nonsense

People I want to see make it to the end of the series:

- Bronn
- Davos
- Tormund
- Brienne, cause even thought her plot has gone nowhere is needed for T+B ship
-The Hound
-Gendry
-Jaime
-Hot Pie

People who I want to die offscreen by next episode with no acknowledgement

-Jon
-Daenerys
-Tyrion
-Varys
-Arya
-Sansa
-Littlefinger
-The whole North cause for fucks sake they have never done anything in this whole series other than be whiny bitches 24/7 they might as well be played by goons myself included

So seriously, why is Arya more of a childish brat now than she was in Season 1? Bitching about Sansa's room choice is something that would maybe make sense for 9 year old Arya who hasn't been through anything, not adult assassin Arya.

I thiiiink they're trying to convey that Arya can no longer trust anyone and sees ulterior motives in other people no matter what, after her experiences with the House of Black and White and whatever.

It's just not done well at all. At least that sequence with Littlefinger was a neat little bit of spy gaming....even if his plan is totally dumb.

This isn't the *worst* party construction if your goal is just 'grab an enemy from an army that outnumbers us 10,000 to one, and someone/anyone get it back across the gate'

Literally it'll just come down to survivability, they aren't winning any actual fights

Also I'd like to point out that there's more chemistry between Jon and Gendry than Jon and Dany. I'm now officially hoping for a RiverSnow rom/com follow up where they adopt a baby and raise show dogs.

I actually like Jaime's new Lannister Armor.

Even though I find it weird that upon Cersei becoming Queen he didn't done his Queensguard armor back since it's the one thing that he has always been proud of, but whatever.

Sam blew town without finding out his Father and Brother were dead, yes? I would assume his renunciation of his title when he took the black still stands, so it's not as though he's Lord of Hornhill now, but given that I'm still puzzling out why they felt the need to make that clear through the dialogue.

Probably an artifact from the original outline. In it the Archmaester was supposed to dismiss Sam's plea to help the North and finish up with a "oh btw, Dragon Queen killed your father and brother. suxs to be you".

Guess they decided to make him a neutral dick instead of a full blown dick.

Also outline promised some Sam the Dorkslayer and didn't deliver :mad:

Wouldn't they need to appoint some lovely offshoot Lannister to rule the Westerlands if he returned to the Queensguard?

Crossposting from the unsullied thread. This would be a much more dumb but fun plot line to follow than what we are gonna get.

Have Littlefinger loving up with Arya and be like "Jon is dead. Jon has always been dead".

Davos is the fast-travel NPC that depending on the location doubles up as a merchant. He ain't taking part in any fight unless you pull a zombie into his aggro range.
