It is, it's easily one of the best groups.
Yeah, and Davos was perfect for the line lol.
Hehe yeah, Tormund needs to live.
Heh yeah, Drogon shows up like one of the lions of Voltron sensing him in trouble
Yeah, Ghost should probably show up if he gets in trouble.
Yeah it feels like his been brought back so all possible storylines can be closed. Would suck if he gets got next week.

The Lord of Light chose him to be a Dark Souls character so he gets to respawn and light his sword on fire. The rest are his groupies and The Hound is a long because he doesn't have anything better to do and actually saw shit when he looked into the fire like that one guy said to so he's along for the ride.

It'll be like The battle of the bastards, get stuff out of the way first then focus on the fighting

Man what was even the point of ole Billy Bones from Black Sails being in this season for like 5 minutes.
Yes during this scene.
Except replace Aragorn with Jon and Arwen with Dany and the hobbits with... also Jon.

Yeah I would be good with this. That would be great, the less interruptions once we focus back on them the better.
Yeah I believe the Brotherhood Boys are toast. Forever Friendzoned Jorah is free to be dead as well. Tormund is 50/50 since he hasn't had much to do for awhile other than him pining for Bri. Gendry could die but it would be a waste after bringing him back after so many seasons to not get revenge on the Lannisters but just die in the snow. I give him 25% chance of dying. Jon, Hound have plot armor and the rest of the men are so dead.
He was great as BBQ.
Winterfell falling, Sansa going full ice queen.
I'm sure they'll reunite at some point and they'll have one scene together before one is whisked away to the other side of the continent.
I really hate the pacing this season.
All season Jon had been doubted. By his own people in winter fell and anyone else he bothers to tell. Makes sense for him to go all kamikaze to nab a dead soldier to finally prove something to these motherfuckers
But damn man. What a bunch of bad asses. Walking off straight into winter with no plan, no hesitation, just booze and swords

Their merchandise isn't selling like it used to.
I really wasn't feeling this episode. Maybe it was the first scene that just soured me on it. Jaime and Bron just swimming away? That's some high-level bullshit right there. I guess things were moving fast so that's good, but I don't know... The episode kinda felt like a collection of scenes rather than a coherent episode with a through line.
- Gilly just randomly finding a scroll that tells us that Jon isn't a bastard? Like, really?
- Sam leaving the Citadel? What is he trying to achieve with that?
- Littlefinger used to be such a cool character. I'm really not liking this "I'm pitting the starks against each other" plot.
Also, the whole thing with wanting a truce with Cercei just feels like a way to even the playing field when Cercei is losing, by giving her a way to do some weird scheming.
What?? O.O

You jabronis can keep your Cleganebowls and your Battle of the Bastards. I kneel at the altar of the true greatest fight in Westeros: The Donnybrook of the D___ons. There were heroes on both sides, but in the end there could be only one victor. And I think you all know who it was.

Hell no lol. Dany only has eyes for Jon. It's written all over her face, especially when he pet her dragon.
Pretty much. Saw that and was like "whelp, he dead".
Branhattan is just letting things play out.
"I want you here, with me"
Because Arya is right and Sansa doesn't have any skill except being LF's white whale.
And wtf Cersei? Worst character on the show.
Because he's dead soon.
Jon flat out said to Davos that there was no time, not that he wasn't interested. He has eyes.
She's still a fucking dunce. Jamie had to spell out why Olenna wasn't lying. Shes no more of a mastermind than when she resurrected the faith militant, it backfired, and then had to blow everyone up.
And I don't think she's pregnant. More manipulation.
You wish. Tyrion got half of Tywins brain. Cersei got the looks.
Well, just imagine some cops fighting against an entire country of Delta Force guys who are here to curb stomp everything. Crushing defeat is only option.
Even Jamie was like "yea, this is an L no matter who we have fighting for us."
Side note, Varys had the best advice, Littlefinger is catching a blade soon.
They are followers of the lord of light and one of them keeps getting brought back from the dead.
It is, it's easily one of the best groups.

Yeah, Ghost should probably show up if he gets in trouble.
I'm kinda starting to resent my prediction... the show has a tendency to kill of direwolves when a Stark makes a personal or life altering transition... in this possible case: Jon coming to grips with Dragons wanting belly rubs from him... :'( Symbolizing Jon moving away from being a Stark and moving closer to his Targeryen heritage. RIP, Ghost.
To add to my predictions: Gendry most live for his lady Arya.
Also, I think Arya was trying to push Sansa's buttons to see if she could get a genuine gauge over Sansa's current personality. Maybe Arya will come to see that killing/betraying Jon is a bridge too far for Sansa, despite her former reputation as a girl fond of vanity. See has to see that Jon trusted Sansa with the North for a reason.
I can totally accept the (sometimes) lighter tone of this season - Davos main role being the "meme-lord" of the show is fine by me.
Indeed, she could have gotten all of Cersei's forces to bend then knee without a battle in s day or so and then consolidate forces in the north. This would have made more sense if the wall is already crumbling or if there is a better sense of urgency.
Also, this is reminding of the KMT/Communist fight in China during WWII in a very remote way.

political violence (burning POWs when they refuse to join her) in the name of what's good for the people
He has our boy Thoros for a quickie res.
Ah yes that is a comforting thought. What is dead may never die! Or stay dead, or whatever

I really don't get the animosity between Arya and Sansa, what's that all about?
Overall it was another really good episode, loved the scene with Jon patting the dragon, lol. Has anyone other than Dany ever done that?
With just two episodes to go im pretty nervous about what is going to get shown and what isn't before another 12 month break.

oh and dany thirsting for some ass from younger family members is another trump parallel
Arya never really liked Sansa at all but she did love Jon and now she can see that Sansa isn't defending Jon like she should and she can see that part of her wants Jon out of the job.
Arya isn't having any of that bullshit.

Jaime and Bronn easily saved and forced beef in Winterfell, sorry but why. Littlefinger has done shit and now I get this dumb montage?`That was bad man. I liked the rest, though.

Haha at Gilly just nonchalantly spouting out from the scroll that Jon Snow, a.k.a.
, is the rightful king of the seven kingdoms and Sam being like "FUCK THIS DUDE'S SHITS!!!!!" <rage quit>.
Jon Targaryen
Yeah. I accept it I guess since Littlefinger's one of the few plots that needs to be finished with the upcoming White Walker invasion.
Arya was always a bit distant from Sansa and viewed her as spoiled and shallow. The last time they saw each other Sansa was standing next to Joffrey as their father was being beheaded. She hasn't got any idea what Sansa's been through and just sees the same spoilt brat who wants to be in high places and will lie to get there.

Fuck, Tarly was a cunt right to the end.
Dany: Hey, would you rather die or be maybe just a little bit less racist?
Randyll Tarly: Hitler did nothing wrong.
Also, it feels like a race against time for which will happen first - Jon finds out he's a legitimate Targ heir or he takes his dad's sister to Bonerville.
Hoping that Littlefinger playing Arya and Sansa against each other is just a fake out and either Bran interjects or Arya realizes what's up. Then the three of them can all gather around and take turns shanking LF for a full 5 minutes of uninterrupted screen time.

It doesn't really mean anything to Sam.
"for fuck's sake, will you shut your hole"

Love the hound.

Love the hound.
Awww yeah, Beric bringing back that flaming sword goodness from his initial duel with The Hound.
If anyone dies from the Seven Knights Squad, Ima be real pissed. I have my bets on Thoros, just so he can't res Jon and Beric and probably Jorah so Jon can become closer to Jon. The Hound will probably make it so we can get some more Arya and The Hound goodness.

It's funny as the viewer though, as you know that them eventually knowing the full weight of that little tidbit will bring all sorts of new dynamics to the table.
I think Arya wanted Sansa to tell those lords to shut up the moment they started complaining, or maybe she really did want them executed but that would've been a terrible idea, if anyone remembers what happened with Robb and the Karstarks. Arya might be a great assassin but she isn't a great tactician, otherwise she would've mobilised the Frey forces against the Lannisters when she was impersonating Walder
I think the problem for Arya was that Sansa listened to their complaints and then told them how very kind they were, but they made their bed and now they have to sleep in it. It's loyalty to Jon but it doesn't exactly discourage mutinous feelings. Maybe Arya really does just want them all executed at the first sign of mutiny, or maybe she's confusing their complaining as a sign of imminent mutiny, she might have even worse trust issues than Sansa. Would laugh my arse off if Arya kills Sansa because of that letter lol

I try to understand this position. Then I remember she had a bunch of babies pulled from their mothers and killed.
So Cersei's Red Wedding sequel isn't gonna get anywhere since she told the audience she was gonna do it. I'm guessing Dany will expect it. Probably have her dragons flyover and threaten that if she dies, then the dragons can't be controlled and will burn King's Landing to the ground.
Joffrey did that.

Heh, Jon's got himself quite the fellowship.
I don't want a single one of them to die.
And fucking Gendry Hammerhand.

Oh, I only remember Tyrion accusing Cersei of ordering that to Janos.
Also I thought they needed Gendry to forge dragonglass weapons.
