This episode?
I’ve had a perchance of playing candy crush during previous episodes at points, because it “has been lacking interest” for me, dragged me in last episode though…
I think his point is we don’t know how Cersei found out. I realize there are physical symptoms and late periods, but they don’t have pregnancy pee sticks in Westeros. Ultimately that doesn’t really matter, and we can just take her word for it.
Yes, this episode.
True, and the vows mention “until my death” and “I shall live and die at my post”, but they also say “I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.”
It would be better if, instead of hand waving his vows away because he died, they focus on how uniting the North and leading the the Army of the Living against the Army of the Dead fulfills his vows more faithfully to “guard the realms of men” than sticking around Castle Black would, twiddling his thumbs and waiting to die with the twelve other Night’s Watchmen who are left.
Implied.

We saw Qyburn with her saying that he “Could give her something,” we know Maester Wolkan could tell Walda was pregnant (and the sex of the baby), presumably Qyburn can tell too.
Or she’s just lying.
Speaking of scenes with Jaime, that first scene was weaksauce. Bronn drags him out of a river, they cough and splutter a bit and are perfectly fine returning to King’s Landing? Weren’t they in the middle of an active warzone and feet away from a big fuck-off dragon? And sinking in heavy armour? Tish and fipsy, I say.
Agree about the start to the episode; completely ridiculous.
It stretches credulity already that the dragon happened to be perched within diving-lunge-distance of deep water. And then Bronn just somehow saving Jaime, with no chance to take a breath, and then teleporting away from the battle?
No way.
If the writers really wanted them to be neither POWs nor dead, they had two options after last week’s cliffhanger:
- Sort of fudge it best as they can. They surface still near the dragon, but within some bushes or something, and lay flat in the mud for hours until the coast (lakeside) is clear.
- Next big reveal is Bronn and Jaime are bastards of The Drowned God.
Yeah, are we supposed to believe that Bronn pulled Jaime all the way to the other side of the river underwater? Maybe there’s a super swift current that carried them that far downstream?
This was a fun episode but seemed like a pause for breath and move pieces around the chessboard after the last three. Much like episode 1 in that regard, which is fine if it sets up an amazing season finale over the next two weeks.
Well the whole getting out of the river part is obviously bullshit, specially since they were shown to be pretty far away from the battle when they came out. But getting back to kingslanding shouldn’t have been much trouble, the front of the caravan had already made it inside so it couldn’t have been that far.
Tish and fipsy indeed, but we are meant to believe that Bronn hauled Jaime well down stream before surfacing. It is mostly believable that Dany at least believes that Jaime was caught in the blast. And she may have thought he was just some mook - there is no reason for her to know it was the Kingslayer charging her, since they’ve never met. And therefore no reason to search for the body.
Ah I’ve seen it via easter eggs on youtube. I think I now immediately start blacking out when the requisite one 10 minute nude scene per episode involves eunochs or incest.
Yeah, that opening was bullshit. I did enjoy The Toasted Tarlys. And Gendrys’ Hammertime. And Sam telling the Citadel and the old farts, “Fuck you, I’m outey.” and taking off with Gilly and Sammy Davis Jr. (In my mind he’s flipping off the Citadel as they ride away.) I don’t really know what to think about Gillys’ confirmation of Jon. Ok, he has a birthright to the throne but he doesn’t seem like he wants it.
I’m thinking maybe Jon and Dany Co-Captain Westeros. With Dany in the South and Jon in the North.
Jon petting and getting all sweet with Dro-Dro brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my heart.
That shot of the ravens flying over the army of the undead had me all like, “That’s a shit ton of undead.”
When Cersie tells Jaime she is gonna name him the Baby-Daddy to the public I was thinking, “That’s probably not a good idea.”
And The Hound is back. Finally.
Best line of the show, “Nothing fucks you harder than time.”
It strikes me as “20 good men” could pop up into Kings Landing via that super secret corridor of bribery, and take the kingdom.
It’s a pity only Ramsey had those “20 good men”.
I prefer (paraphrased) “Don’t bother listening to me. I’ve only managed to live to be an old man.”
Ok, clearly Littlefinger is trying to drive a wedge between Arya and Sansa by making Arya think that Sansa was trying to get the Starks to support Joffrey, even after Ned’s arrest or beheading.
I’m not clear, though, of the point of Littlefinger’s legerdemain. Didn’t Sansa actually send such a message? If so, the copy Arya found could have been the real one. Or was it a forged version that made Sansa look worse? Either way the hocus pocus was to make Arya think that the information was authentic, since she had found it herself.
No one was nude in that scene.
If it had been just straight-forwardly revealed, Sansa would have easily explained it away as being written under duress. But now Arya thinks Littlefinger is trying to get rid of it on orders from Sansa.
Why wouldn’t Sansa just get rid of it herself? Arya knows that Sansa doesn’t trust Littlefinger.
Does she? For all of Sansa’s anti-Littlefinger words, she tends to walk around Winterfell with him quite a bit, taking his advice. When Arya sparred with Brienne, Littlefinger and Sansa were together on the bridge above them, after all.
