A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones Discussion (Spoiler alerts)

Arya and Brianne sparring was the best thing ever.

So Jaime was riding along the shore, yet when Bronn shoved him away from the dragon, he drowned?

P.S I remember Jaime having a nightmare in the books where he drowns? Am I imagining things?

ALAS THOROS! I am truly a Red Priest at heart and I will mourn his passing, especially because this whole D&D suicide mission was pointless in the first place.

I honestly knew at least one dragon would die. I didn't think the White Walkers would use it though. It seemed crazy to just give Dany all these armies and dragons against an isolated Cersei. It wouldn't have been a close fight if they don't weaken Dany a bit and strengthen Cersei (they made her pay her debt and ally with Euron, Dany lost the Greyjoys and the Sand Snakes, possibly Grey Worm)..

As DeRe said the banter between the guys was awesome. I really loved that part.

I have this crazy feeling Cersei will just end up siding with the White Walkers lmao She's gone power crazy and she'll be thrilled to learn they can kill dragons. I also foresee the moment when Jon learns to ride the other dragon and end up marrying Dany.

Oh, the only really stupid thing about the episode is how forced it felt to have Benjen die. I was watching the episode and I knew Jon wouldn't die like that. I felt either the dragon would somehow save him or maybe Benjen would appear. I was actually waiting for Benjen to appear ever since Jon stepped out of the Wall. But the death scene felt really really forced. Its like they realized they have no plans for him in the future and just wanted him dead. Jon could have easily rode the dragon with the rest or even got on Benjen's horse with him and left together but noooo... he had to stay behind and die. It felt almost cartoonish.

My favorite thing in the episode is everything that happened in Winterfell. The things that interest me the most at this point of the story are Arya and Littlefinger's subplots. I have a basic understanding/imagination of how everyone fits in the story except for those two. I'm super happy to see my bae Littlefinger planning behind the curtains again. I hated how docile he was when Jon was in Winterfell and its refreshing to see him plot for power. Arya's character arc is pretty incredible and I like how mysterious she's being. I didn't think she'd kill Sansa and impersonate her tbh.. its not like Arya wanted to be a queen or something. She's both smart enough to know how valuable Sansa is to House Stark, but also dark enough to want revenge on Sansa for Ned's death. I mean, Sansa WAS in Arya's death list too.

Fruity... sorry about your bae

BOAT SEX!

BTW poor old Petyr had every right to ask for trial by combat. Remember when that was a thing? Nevermind, neither do the writers. RIP Aiden, see you on Peaky Blinders!

I lost my Baelish but its okay. It wasn't a big surprise for him to die like that. Part of me wanted him to have a land and army of his own before he dies but I can live with this.

@DeRe: Nobody was going to fight for him. He was a terrible fighter in the books and lost many fights when he asked for Catelyn's hand in marriage. I could see why he wanted to beg his way out of it. Fits his personality.

I also got the scene I asked for! People in the discord server remember I wanted a glorious scene where the Wall collapses!

But you know what I really hated? Everything that has to do with Grey Worm. WTF is going on in Casterly Rock? I'm soo confused.. I thought he took the castle a few episodes ago? Now this last episode started with him and his army outside the castle? Then the Dothraki appear out of nowhere.. and Bronn/Jaime who used to be in King's Landing are teleported to Casterly Rock, then back to King's Landing? I'm so confused.. Later on the episode Cersei mentions Dany brought her entire armies with her as a show of strength.. I'm getting the feeling the scene at the start of this last episode was supposed to be King's Landing.. so the Unsullied just abandoned Casterly Rock for some reason.. *gets a headache*

I got a feeling Jaime will be the only killing that demon dragon later on..

I wonder what Theon would do. As I'm watching the episode I went 'ooooohh' when he said he was going after Yara, since that explains why the writers made Euron abandon Cersei, so that Theon's rescue wouldn't be breaking the truce, but then Cersei says she had sent Euron in a mission to get the mercenary army. So I'm curious to see what role would Theon play now. He could potentially save Yara and/or foil Euron's plot, or maybe find a way to warn Dany, but that could be something Jaime does if he is going to Winterfell.

Also I was thinking the other day, the White Walkers controlling the dragon makes sense since the writers decided to omit Euron's Dragon Horn from the show. I imagine it will play a similar role in the next book.
