I was sort of distracted during the scene where Sam gives Jorah his sword. Why did he do that? Doesn't Sam want his family's sword?

Probably operating on they all gonna die so this may help. Also he said he did it because Jorah’s brother (nights watch commander) taught him to be a good man.

But hell, I'm happy for Arya getting her cheeks clapped before she's about to die in battle. Probably one of the more relatable things on the show in the last few years. The reunions are fanservicey, sure but whatever, it had some good moments and bad. It's still infinitely better than having to watch previews for lesbian landlady show.

The feel good of this episode and the soulcrushing of next episode will only truly be felt by those binge watching them back to back for the first time in a couple of months.

Basically Sam felt there is nothing he can due to truly repay the debt he owes Jorah's father, so by giving him Hearthsbane it repays a small amount. I liked the part where he tells Dany that Tyrion makes mistakes, but he owns up to them,. and learns from them, something that is honestly rare in the show, though I think Sam is smarter and would probably make a better hand.

Also it's cool because when Jorah ran away to not get killed by Ned for being a slaver, he left his own family's sword behind instead of taking it. That sword, Longclaw, is now carried by Jon.

I've been waiting ages to find out the backstory to Tormund's Giantsbane moniker and it delivered. That's probably the hardest I've laughed at anything in the show in all 8 seasons.

Edit: I would do this naturally and in a way that is lore friendly, of course. We would also digitally add many more trees onto every scene.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:My favorite part was how Arya had to draw Gendry a picture of a spear but with the pointy bit on both ends. This whole ~my special magic weapon~ plot is so dumb. Arya is a badass assassin, but her inventing a new weapon and fighting style out of nowhere and it being effective is just super cheesy. Nobody in Westeros ever thought of "spear, but both ends" before? And conflicts this large aren't really where an assassin is effective. This is a numbers game. Having a special twirly staff spear shouldn't really make much of a difference in a battle with thousands of people. But you just loving know she's gonna get a scene next episode where magically the night king is by himself in the middle of the battlefield, about to kill Jon, and Arya shows up and does a twirly dance and kills him.

Johnny Five-Jaces posted:she literally trained with weapons like that in braavos at the house of black and white She trained to be an assassin ninja who disguises her face and stabs people unexpectedly in whorehouses, not a front-line battlefield warrior. The black and white training was more about being beaten down and using mundane weapons and your different senses, feels like a retcon to say its just a super cool way to murder people all the time Why isn't she training other people to fight like that? I guess it would take too long. Still feels super contrived.

She also trained with the girl with staffs. This isn't hard. Rambo can build booby traps and poo poo but he still goes back to guns in the end.

It certainly feels strange that the big baddie might lose next episode. Unless Dany will be the big baddie. Seems strange that the Night King might lose and Euron Greyjoy is still dicking around.

The weirdest part of this thread, and presumably of other threads, are when people get so upset with the show that they start coming up with predictions they hate for what the show will do next that will piss them off. It's so weird to me. It's like the opposite of fan fiction. Hate fiction?
