I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Seemed like this episode could’ve lost about 20 minutes without penalty.

But goddamn Cersei/Dany/Sansa is far more compelling than anything with NK. Glad they got through that material as quick as they did.

Yeah, they look like they are hitting with more energy than a cannon ball.


Edit: The fireball trebuchets would be good for counter battery fire. I'll bet they don't bring them to Kings Landing.

Dany is gonna descend into madness and Jon is gonna have to queenslay her. Arya will teleport behind Cersei wearing Pacey’s face and shank her. That’s gonna be great and all but reserve the real get-hype for #CleganeBowl2019

I was coming into the thread to make this post. Seriously, does she just not do scouts or spies? Also, they gave Euron Greyjoy a dragon kill? Who is he going to go down to, is Jamie gonna go Super Sayan when he finds out Ciersi is saying the kid isn't his?

Of course not, why would they do something that makes that much sense when they could battle it out on the open ground in front of the city for no reason.

What exactly did Qyburn say that wasn't true? I don't want to restart medieval tactics chat, but equal numbers doesn't seem that great when one side has a position they've clearly been fortifying for a while, giant ballistae, fresh troops, and control of the sea.

I thought for sure that Ciersi was going to turn Tyrion into a pincushion, and I'm still not sure why she didn't. I guess he still has to kill Varys, who makes some good points.

The only people who are going to get a happy ending are Tormund, who hosed off after holding up his end of the bargain rather than try to grab more, and Podrick, who is content to live out the rest of his natural years cutting a swath through the ladies of the north.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Things that owned about this episode:
- Jon's speech at the massive funeral pyre
- Tormund drinking
- Tormund drunk-talking poo poo
- Gendry's lordification
- The drinking game where they just kept pounding back booze despite having figured out basically every participant has poo poo on another on account of other participants having told them everything they shared in private over the last 7 seasons
- Tormund doing the most excited sulking in the history of people just having been cockblocked
- Sansa getting a solid laugh out of Clegane by saying she ended Ramsay with hounds
- Arya friend-zoning LORD GENDRY
- Jamie & Brienne's super-awkward hook-up
- Sansa continuing to have big brass balls
- The setup for the rift between Jon and Dany. The audience saw it coming from a mile away, and I'm glad the writers didn't just immediately have Dany ice-shoulder Jon solely based on the revelation of who he is, but sets up the involvement of Jon's family, as well as the way Dany feels an isolation from everyone else. Coupled with Cersei killing Missandey, it's a nice setup for how Dany's hand is forced. Honestly didn't even feel that rushed or forced despite happening within two episodes
- Upgraded Ballistas. gently caress, I love me some dope siege engines
- The setup for Euron betraying Cersei
- Missandei telling Dany to burn poo poo to the ground. So loving cool.


Things that did not own:
- Seconding the thing everyone else said about the comical lack of reconnaissance. Like, come the gently caress on, that could have been written less awkward by having Tyrion come up with the plan to engage the iron fleet they expect to be around Dragonstone with dragons, because it sits smack loving in the middle of the entrance to Blackwater bay, if I learned anything from Davos little swim back to shore in season 3 or whatever. That way you could still play the surprise-card of the upgraded ballistas on the iron fleet, and chalk up the whole shitshow to Tyrion failing Dany yet again, which sets up his removal as hand. The way things went down is just hilarious, in that I legit laughed at it because that amount of stupidity from our heroes was actually entertaining
- Jamie peacing out to join Cersei again. This was a headscratcher for me because I figured Jamie was just lying to Brienne to keep her from coming with him, and he intends to somehow kill Cersei himself. But then Benioff and whatshisname tell us in the epilogue that this is him rejoining Cersei because of loyalty and self-realization and love and, all because it just loving now occurred to him that she might die. Come on, now. If the singular payoff for this is that Jamie tells Euron Cersei was pregnant before, it's still awkward as hell, because everyone in the North new about it, and Tyrion literally just told Euron just...:psyduck:
- Teleport-mania. I mean, I get it, we need to wrap things up, can't really talk too much poo poo about this one, especially after the amount of intercontinental teleportation we had in the last seasons, it just felt awkward
- Cock-teasing main characters getting killed when you haven't had the balls to kill any significant number of main characters since deviating from the books in season 4
- Ballistas OP, pls nerf, Blizzard
- I cannot stop laughing :lol:

Yes, yes, this is a Wendy's drive-thru etc. it was a fun episode, but a bunch of stuff in there just felt unnecessarily sloppy or forced when it could easily have been written better with barely any impact on filming-logistics, as opposed to the Battle of Winterfell

the gently caress everyone doing in Essos anyway none of the white walker poo poo effects them right what do they care

It’s like the North and South American continents for Westeros, maybe with a small body of water between North/South...and then Europe all the way across the Atlantic right

Westeros is England, Essos is Europe

The series started off loosely based on the War of the Roses and went wildly off on its own from that point
