Eh, Arya kept Needle, saved the actress, and abandoned the Faceless Man life because she didn’t abandon all decency.
Well that was … er … something. I guess Dany didn’t need armies after all. At least it was visually stunning.
I am not rooting for anyone at this point. All the survivors are either killers obsessed with revenge (Dany, Arya) or incompetent bozos (Jon, Tyrion). Maybe Sansa should be in charge? She seems to have her act together.
So Jaime got stabbed in the guts twice and walks away, but Euron gets stabbed in the gut once and he’s lights out?
And I guess Euron was wrong. He didn’t kill Jaime, Danaerys did.
I know people keep saying this but I don’t get it. Right before she left Bravos, she showed that she couldn’t kill her basic decency and kindness, especially after she was reminded again of who she was. She wouldn’t kill the actress who was kind to her which is what caused her to have to fight for her life to be able to leave the Faceless Men. She almost sacrificed her life for that stranger.
She is a very skilled killer but when did she kill when not protecting herself, revenging wrongs done to her family by the people who were very active in that wrong (Freys), or in the case of mercy (the sick girl at the well)? She couldn’t bring herself to kill the Hound even when he begged her to.
I actually could see Sansa’ come out on top. Whoever kills Dany probably isn’t going to live to tell about it.
She killed dozens at the Twins, including servants. You’re right that she maybe had a shred of decency in her, and she obviously loved her family, but the sequence seemed pointless to me. I didn’t think it added anything at all to the story, as well as not really being in line with her character (also, that she was stumbling and being trampled by civilians… After handling dozens of wights and the Night King) . IMO, if course.
Could have used a little less waiting for the bells to ring.
I think Arya got her humanity back this episode. She’s somewhat still the girl who wouldn’t let the Hound murder innocent people.
Sansa’s got her shit in one sock, but she’s playing the great game. She’d be a good ruler, but her name wouldn’t go down in myth like Jon’s or Tyrion’s would. Back in the days of the Crow / Dwarf King…
She didn’t kill the servants.
Is it too late to retcon episode three and let the zombies win?
Do you think that if Jon had taken one for the team and had sex with his aunt one last time, he could have saved about a million people?
I was under the impression only the Freys and their henchmen were given the wine. She even made sure his young wife didn’t drink it.
Frey even commented she “wasn’t one of mine” so she didn’t kill one of his servants to get her face. Maybe she did have to fight her way in and an innocent servant died but I don’t remember that shown on screen and we don’t know the story of the girl whose face she wore. I’m not saying there might not have been incidental kills but she’s never been shown cold-blooded killing an innocent on screen as far as I can remember. I remember her trying to prevent the Hound doing that a few times.
Gendry walks into Kings Landing…“I need the deed to Stor…oh…I seem to be king.”
What’s the name of the episode? Dresdan from the Ground?. Times in Tokyo?
Man, maybe Virseys would have been preferable? Maybe, if had been gay? The Night King?
Seriously, Ramsey’s ghost is going "ok that was a bit much
.
The Bells.
Looks like they’re calling it The Bells.
Gotta love the patch the devs put in to nerf the ballistas.

Damn!

DAMN!
I thought it was a great episode. No way Cersie and Jamie survive that.
I am wondering where all those Dothraki came from though, my only WTF of the episode. Also, it was a “Destroy the entire city” episode. No dialog is needed.
Daenerys Stormborn, Committer of War Crimes.
“I’ll pick ‘Burn city’ from the dialogue tree…did I save game?”
When the grief wears off, will Grey Worm be ashamed?
