I guess the idea was that since he had an army with him, they needed to arrange for a public confrontation where he would implicate himself

so that said army could not object to his execution

of course, his army is made up of people who clearly hate his guts, which Sansa is perfectly aware of, so
who knows

I'm gonna rewatch the episode now to confirm, but I don't think he even did that. They were still relying on things Sansa already knew and anything else that Bran would verify himself through visions. So the whole deception is still pointless.

It didn't make any sense at all

Sansa: "I accuse you of treason. You forced my Aunt Lysa to poison her husband and then pushed her out of the cliff, with only myself as the only witness for that event. Also my autistic brother who was nowhere near King's Landing at the time says you also betrayed my brother. Oh, and my sister also has the dagger that was used to try and kill said autistic brother and he says it also belong to you!"

Lords of the vale: "You have no witnesses other than the accusers and only have one dubious solid piece of evidence, but I hate this guy, so yeah off with his head!"

There was still snow on the ground on the smooth path through the rubble heap: not consistent with a huge wall being melted.

Uh, Viserion didn't actually break the wall himself. The Night King broke down the wall through the power of TWERKING. Viserion helped by grabbing a mic and DROPPING SOME SICK BEATS.



I mean, come on. Did you ever watch the episode?

Best season: 4? The rest of the seasons had their pop episodes but 4 I remember being entertaining throughout.

4 was the best because of Oberyn, the whole central trial plot, lots of Hound, and wrapping up plotlines from the third book which was the last one to have a true ending.

I think episode 10 is still my favorite of the series

Rewatching the scene, were those 2 actually Kit and Emilia?

Why was Kit waxed all the way including his thighs?

No, I'm not sperging over wall debris, it just looked weird right into Uncanny Valley territory as if 2 Ken dolls were having sex.

Sansa is Good Now tm, which means she's always right, convincing, and everyone listens and knows she says the truth without saying it. See her lecturing blacksmith's on the properway to forge armour despite having no knowledge of weapons or the art of black smithing

I hope next season Jon Snoo doesn't talk at all. Every single one of his whiny dialogues this episode was terrible which makes me understand now why they went straight for the sex after the knocks.

I don't know, make it a side effect of realising he just hosed his aunt. Shock him into going mute for the rest of the series.

When Jon Snow told Euron that the ice zombies couldn't swim it was kind of misleading because the zombies can clearly dive well enough to fasten chains around a dead dragon at the bottom of a lake.

There's a cache of wildfire hidden in the dragon pit that could have blown up and unceremoniously kill most of the named characters.

They are saving that for the next season :haw:

Have her fly in, light up the arena burning everyone alive. Drogon lands, she walks through the flames..."Burn them all" and the dragons start to burn Kings Landing to the ground.

We're definitely going to have a scene of Jon turning and looking at Sansa or whomever and saying: "Cersei has...betrayed us! We should have planned for this"
