I'm interested to see how fast they will build a 1000 ships. Normally that would take 5 years at least but I have a feeling they will be finished during this season lol.

Was under the impression from episode 5 that the Iron Islanders were going to provide.

are u sure it felt like 3 days. she went blind then got hit with a stick in the face for a few days

so i still have no idea how she passed the "final test" whilst being disingenuous as shit (as we all suspected)

i guess the lord of light works in mysterious ways

Oh come on. We don't know how much time passed, and this kind of plot hole is almost unavoidable.

Have you ever realized Luke Skywalker did basically his whole training in the time it took for Solo and the Falcon Crew to go from Hoth to the City Cloud?

But Empire would be a weird movie if it stopped for 3 years the time Luke learnt to master the force properly.

To get really good at something like martial art takes years and years and years. So as a story teller, well, you have to take shortcuts. Unless you go full stupid and just upload it in your brain like in the Matrix (talk about missing the whole fucking point about kung fu by the way).

Anyone else surprised that Sams family believes 2 brown haired not blue eyed people supposedly made a blonde haired blue eyed child. I was like... we went over this in the beginning guys lol.

Great episode. I'm not invested in Sam at all, so the scenes were pretty meh and I dont see his role in the bigger plot. Gilly annoys me with her peptalk but otherwise it was great. Showdown at Kings Landing was epic as fuck.
Poor Tommen just gets manipulated by every player there is in Kings Landing. The High Sparrow will bite the dust soon. He is making some high level enemys with every move.

Afaik children/babies can have blonde hair and the color can still change with time.

True in some cases. I just figured with the whole lannister incest situation and a dickish father he would have said something at the table like "you sure it's yours? how do you know your cock went in since you can't see it?"

Either way, I now believe Sam will be the one to kill the king of the walkers. That's gotta be the only reason he's still in the story right?

Baby hair means nothing, it changes colour quite often.

I think Margery is very clever. She really is not a devote or a pawn of the high sparrow. She is just following the best path available for her at the moment. If you look at his reactions and answer when she talked with high sparrow it is clear that she now that the sparrow is manipulative and are playing with everything. Just look this chapter how he stares the sparrow when his father and grandmother arrive. Tommen other way, it is clearly very easy to influence.

LOL I knew the High Sparrow wasn't going to die in this episode because it's not June 7 yet. I'm convinced that D&D are saving his death for either next week or the week after that to coincide with the week when Bernie finally fucks off.

weird how people didnt think this ep was that great and that its a setup and slow
exactly the opposite on all accounts for me
even the passionate kiss with jamie and cersei was awesome

yeah besides the tired deja vu speech at the end, this might be my favorite episode of the season. far less cringe dialogue and laziness in story telling in this episode to me.

Can you elaborate on that one? Not sure how that one scene can ruin it tbh

Well it reminded me of the type of scene that you usually see in a lot of bad shows. A "motivational" cliffhanger at the end to keep viewers interested without the scene actually having any relevant effects on anything at all. (We already knew she had the support of the Dothraki). It's just mostly there to deceive the viewer, but when the viewer has seen similar scenes enough times, they figure it out.

It's just really cheap writing, and GOT is the best show because it - so far - has almost only had scenes that either further developed characters or the story line, and skipped these types of "deceiving" scenes.

Obviously it was just five minutes of my time, but it created all these bad associations in my mind; hence why it made me a lot less satisfied with the episode.

coz she already had the whole troop following her after last episode or whenever she burned the place down, they dont need to show it again. except they forgot she was looking for her dragon and it had to show up somewhere

I think they wanted to show that she can control her dragon now, the speech wasn't important.

I'm so glad we had 10 episodes of Arya going through boring training involving being beating by wooden stick over and over again to join the Nameless, just to end up throwing all that away due to finding her victim likeable.

Please, more of such top notch story writting.

At least they got me rooting for Cersei and against that fucker Sparrow, never though I'd see that happening.

End scene was bad, but the episode was really good.
Gotta love how Bran and the girl managed to get so far ahead of untiring undeads with only a 30 meters lead though

30 meters in a snowstorm is a lot. We can assume/pretend that the undead couldn't see her and that the snow covered her footprints so they couldn't track her.
