Can we have more of Arya and the Hound please? Their unfinished business should be awesome

Really good point. It’s not like her father took part in violating guest right during a wedding, so killing a dragon during a parlay would be a really crazy thing for Cersei to do.

You gotta have a code bro. And the Frey’s literally got got from taint to dick tip. You fuck with rules and you get obliterated. You don’t kill on parlay. Many other things to shit on fine, but breaking parlay? Damn son! You just uncultured swine!

Greyworm and Missandei should have scissored one last time.

[LonghornSean 4072]

Maybe it's cause I drink while watching these episodes, but I just don't get how so many are saying that episode sucked.  I thought it was awesome.  Cracks forming between Jon and Dany and the secret is out, Varys and Tyrion doubting Dany, shocking death of Rhaegal, Jamie just can't quit Cersei, etc.

 

The celebration ran a bit long, but still thought there were some strong moments throughout.

It was. Similar to the earlier seasons of the show. Good writing and storytelling. Surprising deaths. More talking than fighting.

Good shit.

[sachick 1189]

Meh. But still the best show on television.

 

[LonghornSean 4072]

To be fair here are the main things I didn't like:

Bronn just waltzing in to see Tyrion and Jamie, crossbow in hand.  No guards, no questions?  That's a bit much.

Not getting to see Arya's and Sansa's reaction to the news of Jon's parentage.

Quoting cause out of rep. This ep was the tits. But to be fair, got to view it through the “binge”lens. 

Lets be honest, I’d say almost all people born after 1990 who would see this ep in a binge instead of with a week off, you know you’d like it. But cause you gotta wait (and to be fair us pre-1990 folk have been conditioned) people bitch. But if you could binge, it’s be the shit. 

[JOSEYWALES66 1850]

How can/will they protect the last dragon?   Can they make it wear armor? 

[BigOrange1 6610]

ok, that was SO much better than last week.  

[Phoenix 65]

I don't like how they randomly made Bronn a total dick now. He used to be my favorite character, now he's just a cunt. Writing overall is pretty bad now.

They ain’t secret service level and half the army just died, think a couple cut throats sneaking in isn’t all that crazy.

agree on the second. But directors choice so whatevs

Bronn has always been about money.  He had a chance to save Tyrion before and passed

[Mileslong 4793]

Don’t let me come across as a bookfag, but how the fuck, at this point, are you misspelling Jon’s name?

Because Illiterati...

I’m sure they put Drogon out of reach of the arrows, he could have been miles away. These are oversized crossbows not god damn cruise missles

Yeah I don't really understand what Bronn is doing or what the fuck is going on there. Are they purposely just making him out to be a moron? People been promising him shit for like 4 seasons now and he still has nothing to show for it. At some point seems like he'd catch on. It's obvious that he's only still on the show for some random deus ex machina later. He's the new Benjen.

Also with you on Arya. Why is her response to that news to peace out immediately vowing never to return to Winterfell?

armor's not stopping that weapon. when she had two dragons, a night attack would have been a good idea 

Edited May 6, 2019 by tx 3 putt

[Burt Macklin 19214]

Also, it really seems like the dragons are pretty fucking easy to kill at this point.

Even if Dany wants to burn down all of King’s landing, it doesn’t really seem believable that she could. 

[achooloco 1086]

That is true, she can’t glass it. Not without a lot of time. Guess 3000 years ago or whenever, no one had a clyburn to make a megabow?

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

Much better episode.  Plotting, cracks, schemes.  Could have used a tighter edit but at least felt thematic with the rest of the show. 

[TexArcher 38817]

Yeah, this was always going to be a politicking and moving pieces around the board episode.  As such, I thought it was not a great episode, but effective.

Next week is gonna be insanity.  I'm expecting some sort of cliffhanger, like it's basically a two episode finale.

Edited May 6, 2019 by TexArcher

[Dutchrudder 11228]

I like the content of that episode, but the pacing was wildly out of control.

[Slade 263]

A great point a friend of mine brought up:

They have Bran on their side. He can warg into ravens, birds, whatever, and fly ahead and scout for their ships as they sail south. Guess not. Bran is just gonna sit there and be relegated to uselessness again.

That's what I told a friend of mine.  How the hell do they get ambushed anymore?  How does Dany not know there's an arsenal of nuclear crossbows floating around King's Landing?

I think Jaime isn’t going to Kings Landing to protect Cersei 

My thought as well

[GottaB 604]

Also with you on Arya. Why is her response to that news to peace out immediately vowing never to return to Winterfell?

I think Arya sees the whole board with the secret out and is positioning herself the clean up her lost and save Jon’s ass. Again.

I wonder if she’ll help the hound take down the mountain.

[Hornin04 262]

Also Tormund said "you never know" when Jon said that it was goodbye. Setting up a reunion in the north when Jon gives Tyrion kings landing and goes back home.

I did think that this episode was the end of Tyrion.

I was wondering how euron and his armada could see Dani and the dragons when Dani couldn’t see them.  If I can’t see you because you are around the corner, then you can’t see me because you are around the corner.

Probably true about the armor.  

It didn’t look like the weapon could point straight up.  Maybe they dive bomb them. 😀

And where is Yara?

yeah i'm with you. during the first 1/3 of the episode or so i was thinking, "okay, more of the same...", however i really enjoyed the final hour or so of the episode. As you said, the celebration was a bit long, but after that I thought it was easily the best episode of the season. imagine my surprise when I came to shaggy to see everyone shitting on the episode! I legit refrained from posting my thoughts because i figured everyone would assume i was just being a contrarian for the fuck of it. I really enjoyed the last 2/3 of that episode, and now i can't wait for next Sunday.

This was just ridiculous. How can she not see the ships around the bend when she is a few hundred feet in the air?

[Enchubben 5598]

Not a terrible episode but with only a few left it’s looking like this show is going to limp to the finish line. This would have been a solid episode somewhere in the middle of the show, not one of the final 3 episodes. 

Agreed with others that I think the writing kind of sucks here. Hopefully the last couple can end the show on a high note.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8964]

Hound eating some jerky or whatever... enjoying a peaceful horse back ride.. arya appears


"Oh for fucks sake" lolol

Euron and jamie will take eachother out. Especially when jamie finds out she's pregnant

[Sleepygrad 1034]

Figured Bron would have a bigger soft spot for Jamie and Tyrion given all the shit they’ve been through.

Jamie’s flip flop felt off, don’t buy that he’s going back for love.

Arya gonna wear some faces and cut some throats from Inside KL. Hope she kills Cersei.

Where tf is Sam going?

the amount of just egregious and completely unacceptable misspellings in this thread bottles the fucking mind.  fuck reading anything, this goddamn show has been on for almost a decade and people are still typing “clyburn” and “tyrian” and “sersei”...

graphene could do it.  if dany weren’t such a dumb bitch she’d have figured it out by now. 

[thunderlounge 8325]

Some nice little one-liners sprinkled throughout. Hound giving Gendry shit over Arya, as mentioned the Hound when Arya shows up to tag along. 

Guess she isn’t planning on going back North. Not sure what to make of that. You knew she would turn Gendry down though. 

Speaking of Lord Gendry Baratheon, nice little move by Dany. I thought she was going to be all cunty about it, then nope. That was a good deed by her, but it’s too bad she’s spinning into the madness of her heritage.

[thunderlounge 8325]

Oh yeah, and fuck Bran. Warg into the Mountain and cut the bitch down already.

I wonder if Arya will go back to the faceless man and the god of many faces if she’s able to kill Cersei and get out alive. Hence no plans to return north.

[Pato del Muerto 53340]

Also, with the placement of the scorpions on the bow of the ships, and sails and masts behind them, could Dani not fly around and attack from behind and burn the fleet up?  I didn’t see any weaponry in the sterns, and I think the high shot showed all of the ships in a tight formation. 

[Jive Turkey 12930]

Gendry's odds to sit on the Iron Throne just went up.  He's now the Lord of Storm's End, son of King Robert Baratheon, and the people's champion of Flea Bottom.

It's well documented that Dany sucks at combat

[gurt 796]

Everyone sucks at everything now. The writers made the characters as dumb as their selves
