She didn't really trust him is the point, I think.

He's a loving psycho who always wanted to kill people or get her to kill people. You can't try to be a respectable ruler and keep some dude at court who's always looking to feed people to dragons.

Hello!
Prediction for next episode is that the battle doesn't happen yet and it's actually an extended character piece where we follow only Dany as she goes through great internal strife over her relationship with Jon until she finally spends time with her pervert voyeur dragons and finds out they're okay with it because they're a bunch of sick fucks.

Pod survives because they need a character to sleep with Sansa in two episodes.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
I thought that episode was awesome, the scenes around the fire with everyone and especially Jaime knighting Brianne were especially good. I'm gonna be real, I really wanted to see Jaime apologize to Bran and I liked that there was a scene for that. Even though Bran is this half statue creature now.

The only thing about the episode I outright disliked was the Ayra/Gendry scene. Not so much because it was the two of them cause I think they had the two of them flirting since like, season 2. But it just kind of felt awkward I dunno. Oh and Pod singing the song felt weird.

I'm sure at least one dragon will survive next week's episode, but I feel like it's gonna stretch belief that the White Walkers wouldn't just easily kill both

Why yes, I do remember all of these secondary characters and their interesting quirks. I am sad thought that they forgot to work in a reference to Pod's ability to gently caress really well.

Red God zombies?

All of the people brought back by The Lord of Light were straight up resurrected Jesus-style. Meanwhile the White Walkers are leading around hordes of half-rotten animated corpses.

D&D nerds would probably think of this as the difference between "Raise Dead" and "True Resurrection"

One of the best episodes they’ve done. It’s not fan service. It’s characters doing what they would as characters. Even the sex scene makes sense for them, even if we don’t like it. Calling anyone who works behind the scenes on this show hacks is :allears:.

6 Feet Under montage where they show how every character dies, except every one of them is burned to death by Dany one by one over the course of several decades

I actually didn't mind the Arya/Gendry stuff. I think all of the Stark children are so straight faced and serious all the time, it was really nice for the show to make it clear that Arya isn't a robot. I think it was also pretty funny and they did a good job of keeping it in character.

I'm also like 90% sure that my pet Night Queen theory is actually going to come true at some point this season with Cersei aligning herself through The Night King.

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
The biggest problem people seem to have with the sex scene is that we got to know Arya when Maisie Williams was 12, and somehow still looks 12.

Last week was reunions, this week it was goodbyes. I can dig it, but god drat the wait is killing me. The next 4 episodes need to be crazy balls to the wall.

It's nice to see someone have sex because they wanted to with who they wanted to in this show as well. Sansa's thing for Theon is pretty sweet too. That would be a couple to

Brienne being knighted was awesome, because it was pretty much something only someone with Jaime could do, gently caress traditions, lets do it.

I dunno about you guys but I for one have been waiting for the epic payoff that was Maise Williams sideboob /s

Lol at all of you thinking the next episode is the battle at winterfell. Next episode will be 100% Kings landing. Episode 4 will be all battle then 2 episodes to wrap up whatever the aftermath is. Y'all haven't been paying attention the past 8 seasons if you think we get the payoff next week.

Listen, motherfucker, any scene that makes me feel good is fanservice and it must not be in my shows. Everything on this show must make me unhappy and dissatisfied, because I'm a filthy wretch and I must be punished for my sins.

Next episode won't be the final battle for the Walkers, just the final battle for half the cast.

I'm betting there are two big battle scenes this season. Next week is the one that makes everyone lose hope.

Well you’re probably going to have to keep waiting since that’s most assuredly a digitally inserted body double, like Dany in Vaes Dothrak or Cersei’s walk of shame.

It is known that in any movie, show, or book with more than one large scale battle, there must be a sequence with one battle that goes really bad and everyone on the good side gets sad and/or dead, and then it must be followed by a battle that goes really good and everyone on the good side smiles a lot and maybe dances in a forest with some weird bear people, because that's how wars work.
