Game of Thrones Season 7

[coolerifyoudid]

I may have missed something, but is Yara being held captive on the Iron Islands? If not, will Theon get there, demand Yara's release and have the doorman tell him, "Oh, I'm sorry. Euron isn't here right now. He took Yara and went to Essos. Can I take a message?"

I found this to funny.

I have always been Team Sansa. Her and Jon have been underestimated by the show writing IMO. Sansa was a scared girl, but they had to at some point develop her into a woman. She is part Ned, Caetlyn, Cersei and littlefinger. She may have been a frivolous little girl, but she was never stupid.

Jon's conversation with Theo finally brought through the Jon we know from the books. He is smart, and tough, but not cruel. Jon is a lot like Ned, guided by principle and practicality, not ambition. Ned was the second son, never meant to Lord of Winterfell. They both are reluctant but capable leaders who do their job out of responsibility not avarice.

I think him and Daeny make a nice ruling pair for that reason, they are opposites in temperament.

They look good together naked as well.

Apparently Theon is One-Punch Man. That fight scene was one of the worst things I've seen in a good show in quite a while. Good season all around, just was a little disappointed this episode played out exactly like everyone predicted and just seemed to aim to please all when they could have pulled some actual GoT plot twists with Jaime or Tyrion dying. Just left a little to be desired after a good season.

You sure he didn't pick up a rock and use it for a weapon? No way Theon is doing that much damage with his fists alone. Not going to argue about the quality of the fight - it wasn't very good. But it's Theon - it wasn't supposed to be very good.

So, there's no way that they could do this, but I did like how Dany and her crew are like "What can we do? If Cersei doesn't help us, we're ****ed!" I mean, they have options.

They always have a surprise dragon attack on the Red Keep in their back pocket. Spare the city and just focus on the castle. Harrenhall is a perfect example of what a dragon can do to a castle.

Now, from a story standpoint, they can't do this, but logically, it's right there as an option.

Thought this was funny on reddit:

Thread:
Why I have decided to put my full support behind the Night King

Tyrion was seeming kind of creepy, wanted Dany for himself and his path to the throne maybe?

Oooh, I hope not. My take was he was thinking that this was just not a good idea in the middle of all this other stuff as it may complicate things. As a viewer I was thinking, well, that's sorta natural in a pre-apocalypse setting (and on a slow* boat ride to destiny).

* Westeros time warp travel briefly suspended...slow slow slow boat ride.

That very well could be and would explain it completely. I did get a kick out of the guy kneeing him in the groin and not getting the picture - reminded me of Bobby Hill, "That's my purse!"

I would also bet Season 8 picks up a lot quicker than season 7 did. Season 7 did check-ins with just about everyone in episode 1, which will probably happen again, but now everyone is more together.

Good point. The "good" guys will be in Winterfell and the evil queen will be in King's Landing with her zombie and her Frankenstein maester. The only wanderer is Theron on his new quest.

 

[BoxsterCy]

I enjoyed it. I was worried when Bron took Pod out of there that something bad was about to go down. Happy Sansa and Arya didn't disappoint us.

Really liked the scene with Bran and Sam.

Nice touch in that Sam/Bran scene:

Sam: Oh, you saw that?
Bran: (lifts and shows raven message)
Me:

Another gem from reddit:

One interesting reunion I'm predicting is Jaime and Bran, assuming he's riding north to Winterfell.

"Sorry I pushed you out the window"

"You looked beautiful the night your hand was cut off"

Care to elaborate what didn't make sense? Not trying to pick a fight, I just would like to know what didn't make sense to you, because I thought it made sense to me.

Others have all ready said it, but the interactions between Sansa and Arya make no sense without some additiinal information. I haven't liked the story at Winterfell and the way they have been developing the relationship between Arya ans Sansa anyways. Then it all culminated with Littlefingers death at the hands of Arya (which was still awesome) with no explanation as to why they bothered to build all the tension between the sisters. They obviously did it just to fool the audience. I know the term lazy writing has been thrown around a lot, but not by me. I think that was a legitimate case of lazy storytelling.

Euron?

 

[clone52]

Agreed. The whole scene, last week, with Arya appearing to threaten to take Sansa's face, doesn't make a lot of sense if they were privy to Littlefinger's game.

Unless it was what made Sansa realize that Arya wasn't there to kill her.

When she was going through the reasons with LF that Arya would kill her, all of those were true when Arya was in the room with her. If she was there to kill her, why didn't Arya just do it then? She could have easily and she had the evidence that Sansa betrayed her family. Maybe after talking to LF, Sansa realized it didn't add up and then got together with Arya and Bran to figure things out.

Have to agree. Arya went from being almost the highlight of the entire season when she off'd the Frey clan in the first ten minutes to her character going off the rails. The forced drama between her and Sansa served little purpose except to confuse us. They should have been able to truly trap LF in a misstep.

Yeah, if S&A were on to Littlefinger the whole time, then the scene from last week makes no sense. If the acrimony between Arya and Sansa was real, and it was Littlefinger's speech about "assuming the worst" that convinced Sansa that he was trying to divide them, then they sure made up awfully fast, afterward. It just feels a little shoddy.

This is what I was going with, as well

That might explain Sansa, but that doesn't de-escalate things for Arya at all. Her reasons for being mad at Sansa don't change at all, and aren't really affected by any revelations about Littlefinger. Sansa still wrote the note that Arya found, even if Littlefinger planted it on purpose.

I took it a different way. I think Arya and Sansa were each individually working the Littlefinger angle. Neither trusted him, Arya certainly didn't know Sansa's full feelings about him. The scene in the previous episode was Arya's test, Sansa passed, and after that, they found a way to work together. Not sure of Bran's involvement, but supposedly all scenes with Littlefinger in them, there has been a Raven somewhere in that scene, meaning Bran was listening/watching.
