Is Tarly the guy Brienne meets when she first leaves Kings Landing? That dude ruled.

Surely Jon had that big pile of corpses he was living in briefly last season burnt right?

i like when the 200+ lb amazons swing was parried by the 90 lb girls stick thing then got up 2 sec after getting kicked directly in the chest without so much as getting winded because she swept the assassins guilds floor a lot

Excuse me, did you not see that sword flourish? If she is attacked mid-animation the parry triggers automatically.

She doesn't even give a poo poo that it drive Tommen to suicide. That's a seriously crazy Cersei plot point--her children are the only thing she cares about earlier in the series--and only Jaime even tries to give a poo poo about it.

I'd say she gives more attention to Myrcella in that one dungeon scene than she's given Tommen in the full time since he died, but at this point I think that was just an excuse to torture people.

This is the biggest problem with the writing this season. Everything is 'please assume it happened off screen'. Like... I don't even know where to begin with examples because it is just everything.

Lol, she actually explicitly and accurately incinerates the road that all the wagons are on, because it's cool, looks awesome, and the Night King can't get you if you've already starved to death

I wonder if the bloat of the show is so extreme that people shooting it actually don't feel comfortable making revisions no matter how illogical it leaves poo poo.

Ramsay's initial plan to take winterfell in the books is nearly incomprehensible, I can see liking the show more in season 3 or whatever that was.

Got to say, this show knows how to do fanservice right sometimes. That loving boy band walking out into the cold was beautiful. I still can't believe Gendry is back, even after being fully spoiled on everything forever. Rhaegar getting second fiddle to someone's shits was the best ever.

So, we finally get to see Eastwatch. It's up on a cliff and has no dock, and there apparently were no Night's Watch dudes left, only wildlings. Should have introduced it last season with LF taking a ship and meeting Sansa there instead of travelling overland through Bolton-controlled land and meeting her in the ruins of Moletown.

Also, shouldn't Davos grab his money back?

I was drunk and literally came to this thread to ask what Eastwatch looked like because I couldn't remember. Alsoalso yes take your money gosh.

This episode impressed me. Got far more Dragon than I thought we'd get. Dany's sermon on the hill was pretty good. I think reading the plot outline of these terrible episodes helps appreciate the production a heck of a lot more.

Some colleagues of mine unironically called this the best episode of the season.

I thought that thease season was pretty bad but ep4 was decent, then this happened. This episode actually makes me not want to not watch any more. What utter garbage.

I have no idea the thought behind either sentiments.

It had a bunch of Davos, so that was cool. The only thing that was outright unbearable was the Arya spy montage. Clarke was almost decent as murderer on a hill?

So did the RPG party randomly get more randoms added to it as they went along? I couldn't keep track of who was dying during the fights but the answer was actually some random nobody? The only named character that didn't make it out was Thoros?

And loving Benjen?

The thing about the leaks that makes me believe them the most is even in a six episode final season they manage to have entire episodes where nothing loving happens.

I don't... like...

Jaime says he talked to cersei after the first pit scene. What could that conversation possibly have looked like? She mocks him for not realizing she was lying, that it was her plan the whole time. But why did she throw a fit? What on earth did she tell Jaime when he was trying to convince her? I love that in his scene with tyrion NCW looks absolutely befuddled what he should be acting like, because loving what?

So what was Littlefinger's plan? Did they ever like... say that? I read that leaked script and I'm pretty sure 'can't resist an opportunity to keep a stark down' is far more motivation than he has actually gotten in the last few years. Did the show just assume that everyone knows he is a bad guy and thus

Five was fun and a big improvement from four, but also utterly ridiculous in any context that isn't 'released shortly before the next book.'

It's a loving book about time passing.
