The books do not exist in this thread.

This is the thread for open discussion about the books and show.

Well there’s a real vacuum now.

Lady Mormont had more balls than every man in that room.

That child actor is awesome

I really concerned about what Sansa’s thinking. 9 months to find out? Ugh.

I liked that episode a lot.

Lyanna Mormont for queen.

Well, wow. That was pretty satisfying.

ETA: Apparently Varys can teleport between continents.

How did Vary get back so fast?

R+L=J finally confirmed. Awesome season ending.

Who rules the world?!

The King in the North!

Meanwhile, plot lines are getting simplified, in a fairly satisfying way.

Gotta love Lady Mormont.

maybe Varys flew back on a dragon.

Wowsers, that was awesome. Several questions were answered. Officially, R(?)+L=J

Didn’t foresee the the entire Tyrell family going down. Until the end I thought Margary would make it out.

I can see why Sansa doesn’t want to give herself to Littlefinger but it makes dynastic sense for her to marry him . Is there another Lannister brother. One K evan and Tyrrion’s brother? My husband insists there is. Qlso, is Dany going to Castey Rock like her boyfriend indicated? Seems our q u estion of who would rule if Tommen died have been answered And lastly, what good is Sam in Old Towne if there is. no communication?

Talk about clearing the table!

Tommen, Margery, the High Septon, Lancel, Loras, Kevan, Walder Frey, two of his sons, Pycelle – who (important) did I miss?

How the heck did Varys get back to Mereen so fast??

Why do I think Jon Snow better watch out for Sansa/Littlefinger?

Will this finally split Jaime and Cersei?

And did we see every major character except for Brienne?

maybe they killed off so many to cut the budget based on a request from HBO :slight_smile:

The grandma is still alive, and she’s pissed.

I guess whatever Margery’s plan was, it didn’t quite work out for her. Oleanna’s got nothing to lose now.

Didn’t see Arya coming until she reached down to remove her mask.

Would have liked to see where Brienne and Podrick are, just for completeness.

Very significant glance between them. Going to be a loooong 9 months of speculation.

Which part would cause a split? Her taking the throne? If the Lannister line is not the royal line, Jaime would be king. I don’t think Jaime cares about that though.

Wow. Just wow.

So, important deaths this episode:
Margaery Tyrrell
Loras Tyrrell
Mace Tyrrell (I guess)
The High Sparrow
Tommen Lannister
Lancel Lannister
Grand Maester Pycell
Walder Frey

Lots to unpack. I liked it a lot, but had a few issues. The music choices felt a bit awkward at parts. Also, I’m bummed out that the Tyrrells’ deaths were so abrupt. I really liked Margaery, and it sucks that she went out like that. The Sparrows were surprisingly idiotic there, too, keeping everyone in the Sept for no good reason aside from “we said so”. Not to mention Lancel chasing a kid who was obviously trying to lure him somewhere.

So Cersei has proclaimed herself ruler of the great, big garbage fire. And now Daenerys is heading straight for her. Way to go, Cersei.

I think a good amount of time has passed. They gave the impression that it took a long time for them to prepare the fleet.

I want to believe that Varys is working with Dorne and Olenna to further Daenerys’ goals, rather than against her. He’s got to be sewing mischief for King’s Landing.

So Jon is the King in the North. I wonder if his sending Melisansdre away was his fatal flaw. It could be really bad in the wars to come. She does deserve to face justice, but perhaps her sentence should have been stayed until after she helped him fight the Night King.

Loved that scene where Daenerys named Tyrion Hand of the Queen. Go, Tyrion!

they did manage to squeeze in almost everyone so they needed the extra 15 minutes. Maybe the Brienne scene was left on the cutting room floor.
