Some enterprising people had the bright idea to start filling out FOIA requests for the advance screeners Obama got to see. Probably won't work, and if it did it probably wouldn't be processed even by the 10th episode, but you never know...

I was kind of surprised to see Jorah throw sand, isn't that like the stereotypically unchivalrous move? It's kind of silly but that did a really effective job of setting the stakes and selling me on an otherwise pretty straightforward action scene.

They established pretty well that these new khals didn't get a ton of respect, and also that none of them bothered trying to avenge their dead bloodriders, and also that they're pretty loving pragmatic and lazy and not hidebound at all. Meanwhile a revered/prophecied widow of the baddest warlord in history burns them all to death and walks out unscathed. No stretch required my droogs.

In the widely popular HBO show, Game of Thrones, the character Sansa comes from the northern part of Westeros called Winterfell. As with all the cultures in Game of Thrones, each has heir own dress, food, typical clothing, and even hairstyles. But when Sansa begins to live in the southern King’s Landing, she changes her hair to how one typically of the south. Except Sansa is not of the South. She has no ties to the south, and is little more than a long-staying guest there. Therefore, she has no right to wear the styles of actual southern women. This is how in many little ways, cultural appropriation has been normalized in our every day lives.

When Yara and Theon fled it looked like only one or two ships actually set sail out of the huge fleet in the harbor. The rest seemed to be staying put.

Anonymous John posted:What was the point of Sansa lying to Jon about the intel on the Blackfish in yesterday's episode? So that Jon cannot be like "hey lets just get LF on our side for now to kill Ramsay, then we'll cut off his head later"? Yes. Also it limits anyone like Tormund questioning the decision not to seek LF's support. LF no doubt would want her to tell them so he could worm his way into yet another "court." Of course it's still an effective way to force Sansa to split up her forces and attention. But basically Sansa knows that owing favors to LF is a quick way to get yourself killed.

This episode was great, really had a Season 1 or 2 vibe. They are killing it this season! Hope they keep it up. Lady Mormont was great and I'm happy to see she's joined the army. Olenna shittalking Cersei was incredible and I was wondering the whole time if Gregor was just gonna smash her to pieces. Oh yeah, and Return Of The Hound. Maybe Arya's set a trap for the Waif by using a squib under her shirt and leaving a trail of blood.

Cephas posted:Arya definitely has some sort of plan. 10. She spent the last 2 episodes hanging out with a theater troupe whose special effects include fake blood and gore. 11. She is leaving a trail of blood on the cobblestone road.

Blackfish is an odd choice for Lord Stoneheart but why not I guess.

I think they oversold Arya's endurance but I do think it was interesting that she had to use all her previous training to escape and kill the Waif. Also I think the rumor Cersei is investigating has to do with the secret Tommen told her, which he learned from the High Sparrow, which would probably be the involvement of the Tyrell's in Joffrey's murder. E: It was too bad Blackfish "died" because it was clear that Jaime wanted to send him North after all, as a sop to Brienne I guess.

Illinois Smith posted:Did she though? I mean, they didn't actually show much of her training, apart from a shitload of stickfighting and some light poisoning. It felt like she mostly survived through plot armor, not by aplying poo poo she learned through the last two seasons. Hound's will to survive, Syrio's fencing, Faceless Men blindfighting. Probably a couple other things in there.

This episode was incredible, the cavalry charge, shield wall, and body pile each felt like different stages of a panic attack or something

chilihead posted:Remember a well written show lets the viewers figure some things out for themselves. It was my understanding that at least half of those Calvary were the mercs that deserted Stannis. They left the but remember they were in a foreign land. Ramsey probably offered them food,shelter and gold to fight for him before they went home. Seems obvious to me. Literally every time Ramsay gets half the army to desert, kill the other half, and then he kills the deserters himself. Those mercs are dead.

Kawalimus posted:The spoilers were weird. They were always like 85% right and would have odd little details that were wrong. Like earlier in the season it said that Davos and Melisandre at the wall something something, and then Davos was supposed to throw a chair. Then it happened almost exactly like it was supposed to but no chair was thrown. Maybe deleted scene? Strange how these things are. The Ramsay alive thing is easy to figure out how it came out that way though. A false detail like that is how I would track which scripts were given to which translators, to know where the leak was.
