Game of Thrones: Season 7

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

I would be shocked if that happens as The Knights of the Vale still thinks highly of Littlefinger and they need all the support they can get in the real battle that matters in the end. Littlefinger has something up his sleeve. Would love to see Jon behead him though before the series concludes.

The Knights of the Vale suffer Littlefimger only as long as Robin believes he's a good man.

 

One whisper from Sansa and things will change imo.

[TPS]

I'm thinking at some point he saves Brann's life

i expect it will be Jon or brann, and I'm sure he will give his life doing so.

The only Snake worth looking at (Tyene) is still alive.

Exactly what I was thinking when it happened.

 

Immediately before the attack happened, she joked about killing her sisters. She must feel terrible now. XD

She's about to feel a lot worse being Cersei's prisoner. Get ready for some torture from The Mountain.

Can't wait for tonight.

Few quick takes on this fast paced season.

-I'll miss the Queen of Thorns and poison is a woman's weapon Jaime.

-If the theory is true, this is the first time the three heads of the dragons were in the same room and only one knows they are a Targaryen.

-Although evil, I forgot how smoking hot Cersei is.

-Bronn hasn't had one line yet this season.

-Bran seems to have lost all emotion and did he really have to bring up Sansa's wedding night out of all things?

-It wouldn't surprise me in the end if Varys and Littlefinger are co rulers of the seven kingdoms.

I took the bolded as him having to prove his sight... by picking the one thing he couldn't possible know about and something she definitely would remember in detail.

[/dev/null]

Yara and her Iron Fleet sail for Dorne but are intercepted by Euron and his Iron Fleet

The Unsullied march on Castily Rock only to meet token resistance while Euron's fleet burns what's left of Dany's fleet

Meanwhile the Lannisters march on the Queen of Thorns

 

So, who is the mole at Dragonstone?

[CommonCents]

Definitely a mole, unless Kyle Shanahan is calling her plays. Her lead has quickly evaporated.

Good point. I would of gone with Joffrey's wedding though.

Tyrion needs to get the Mooch to straighten things out.

 

At the end of last season the prevailing thought was Dany is unstoppable, but the writers have evened the playing field as the iron bank will side with Cersei. I like how the show is displaying Jaime's military prowess.

 

I found Jon and Dany's first meeting very realistic. They don't know what each other's been through and you could see the frustration in Jon when they were skeptical of the army of the dead and the White Walkers. If only John had a camera or an iphone at Hardhome. By the way, do you think Jaime will tell Cersie who poisoned Joffrey?

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

like last week, lots of talk then finish with a battle and another setback for Team Danny.

 

No more Miss Nice Queen. Unleash the Dragons.

 

Good for Jon not bending the knee.

Nice to see Sam congratulated for his stunt with Jorah. Now make copies of all of these crumbling scrolls and books.

 

Well, there goes the hot Sand Snake.

The Queen of Thorns sends a parting message to Cersei.

Wife and I said the same thing, but since it was Cersei's order ....

Well, at least 2 of the 3 heads. Not sold on Tyrions lineage.

Varys seemed surprised by Melisandre's last words. We will both die in Westeros.

 

They stripped the Rock of all wealth and basically abandoned it.

Exactly. The fastest way to prove his sight.

Varys is the only one with nothing to lose in Danny's court. But I'm not sure if he'd be the mole. There is no one else I can think of.

 

Who rescued Theon? His (other) Uncle?

[eball]

Great episode; definitely watching this one again tonight.

[ocemur]

Why do I think Sam making copies of the scrolls is a Mr. Miyagi thing? I suspect the Maester is making him copy the scrolls because there's stuff he needs to know in those scrolls. As for Jaime poisoning Olenna, that's probably his best move. He has a bad enough reputation without getting all stabby on an old lady.

I couldn't have been the only one thinking he was going to decapitate her once she told him about the poison.

Don't know that there's a mole, so much as Cersei's gotten inside Dani and Jon's OODA loop. She's reacting faster, and facing a force that's split and opened to defeat in detail. Going after the Tyrells was less about removing one of Dani's allies than it was robbing the richest house to pay off the Iron Bank - don't need a mole to explain that. And a mole would have to be feeding Cersei and Euron at the same time, which is unlikely.

 

Euron's magically transporting fleet is annoying, though. In the space of a couple weeks, he destroyed one fleet, took captives to King's Landing, then sailed to Casterly Rock and destroyed another fleet. He's moving twice as fast as any other ships on the ocean.

 

And note, too...the Tyrell gold has to get to the Iron Bank. On wooden ships, vulnerable to dragons. And Dani and the Iron Bank hold deep, slavery-related grudges against each other.

I suspect the Grand Maester is doing and end-around of the rules, and the old, moldy, decaying scrolls are precisely the old records Sam asked to read, and was denied.

I couldn't have been the only one thinking he was going to decapitate her once she told him about the poison.

 

Pretty sure he was thinking it, from the look on his face (side note: very good performance by Coster-Waldau. Aside from Dinklage, he might be my favorite actor in the series.)

 

And I liked the way Emma Peel (Diana Rigg will always be Emma Peel to me) grabbed the chalice and chugged it, with such a "!@#$ it, I'm dead, no sense putting it off" attitude.

Euron has ships or so he claimed. Half for Sunspear, the other half for the Rock.

 

I might think that the Tyrell gold only has to get to the Banker.

 

Not my problem if the courier got robbed along the way.

I couldn't have been the only one thinking he was going to decapitate her once she told him about the poison.

Brienne changed Jamie if you ask me.

 

Anyone else thinking that Cersei had a bit of poison on her lips when she jumped Jamie?

[Deranged Rhino]

By the way, do you think Jaime will tell Cersie who poisoned Joffrey?

 

I think Jamie ultimately will kill Cersie (probably along with himself) - but I don't think there's any way he can admit to Cersie that truth. Cersie would hold him accountable for convincing her to go the "soft" route with the poison. I think he realizes that and if he tells her at all, it'll be the day he kills her.

 

One thought I had is this scene is probably something that will bring Tyrion and Jamie back together in the books (if they ever get written). As discussed earlier, the two brothers parted on very different terms in the books versus the show. Jamie knowing for certain now that Tyrion didn't kill his son (which he never doubts in the show but does in the book) will help them bridge their quarrel... perhaps at least.

 

My favorite parts of the episode is when Dany says she's the last Targaryian while Jon and Tyrion are standing in the room. That and when we got a glimpse of Jon's future mount as it soared over his head.

[John from Riverside]

So is the mother of Dragons on the ropes here? She has lost 3 allies in 3 straight weeks.

[K-9]

.. .Well, at least 2 of the 3 heads. Not sold on Tyrions lineage.

 

I don't think there are gonna be three dragons to ride, after all. It's been clearly foreshadowed that a weapon is gonna take down at least one of them. Up until that point, I was shared the idea that Tyrion would ride the third one give how he bonded with them when he set two of them free.

 

On another note, didn't Jaime once say that poison is a woman's weapon?
