Game of Thrones

[momo]

this episode... so much precious screen time wasted on forced Tyrion/Missandei/Greyworm dialog then wasted on a long Terminator 2 foot chase with the Waif.

[Torinoman]

Ugh, so tired of almost nothing happening every episode.

[LS1Goat]

Goodbye, Waif.

I feel like this show is definitely moving pieces for the "good guys" to finally start to take control. I mean, if any of these people really are "good guys". Other than the Starks, I am not sure anyone is "good".

Good episode. I guess I need to read more on the Waif ~ Arya thing

Yeah that was hardcore. Too bad he died, but I'll take all the Ian McShane we can get.

Fuckin Swearengen. I wished they could have given him a bigger role in Game of thrones. But like you said, I'll take the little bit we got.

Margaery is one of the best players in the game. She's got this on lock. At least compared to Cirsei.

She has always been top of the game. It will be interesting to see what she is planning.

I seriously doubt he feels any guilt. More to do with what best positions him for more chaos/power.

No shit. He has zero morals or guilt about anything.

I knew the hound was coming back. I'm also glad the reintroduced the sell sword guy, he's been a favorite of mine.

Yeah, Brond F'n rocks.

It was surprising to see The Hound. It'll be interesting too see what he does after those people who befriended him were slaughtered.

What I find interesting at this point, is what's going on with Margaery and Olenna Tyrell. I think that drawing she palmed to her at the end signified Margaery's new found piousness is a ruse.

I too think Sansa's letter is going to be calling in favors from Littlefinger. If he has an ounce of guilt about the nightmare he put her through, she should be getting some help soon.

I seriously doubt he feels any guilt. More to do with what best positions him for more chaos/power.

And what I really want to see is Arya decapitate the Waif and use her empty skull as a bowling ball. Providing that this new fan theory about Arya = Waif is untrue.

Agreed!

We've been quiet here the last couple of weeks. Last night's was slow, in a way, but I was surprised as hell when the credits rolled. I needed 20 more minutes, so I'm not sure "slow" is the right term.

Cool to see the Hound back.

I expect Arya to get out of that ok, and maybe it'll mean the faceless men will leave her alone, thinking she's dead.

No Dani content this week. Just some slightly ponderous Sansa/Jon political maneuvering that isn't working too well. I expect that letter Sansa wrote was to Littlefinger to leverage the knights of the Vale. Can't wait to see the Bolton's get beat up on.

Too soon?

[mstng86]

Does anyone know what it means now that the old guy died and Bran is probably the only one left with his powers? The Hodor ending was hard to watch.

[BLAKE]

Were those things nymphs or something? I think I missed the story on the little brown creatures.

I also read a theory (last season) that the Ice King Ned Stark's older brother. It said that he fell in love with a white walker, but who says it couldn't have been a nymph?

Children of the forest. semi-mythical beings that were there before the First Men colonized Westeros.

As far as the Ice King, this is fuzzier for me but I believe the first one dates back to a Stark, but many generations before.

Wow. Visceral literary style, GoT has it. The people that have criticized the show in the past about a mid season slump should have nothing to complain about this season.

So after last night I guess the only remaining Direwolves are Ghost and Nymeria. Kind of sucks that Summer didn't follow Bran and Hodor out the door. I realize it was to buy time, but it seems moving forward he would be pretty important to have around.
