When Rickon had been captured I couldn't remember who he was, and it seems Sansa didn't mind at all about him dying. Maybe the remaining Starks have just forgot him :ninja:
Game of Thrones (tv show thread)

-
If the Lannister would really pay theyre debts, Bronn would now marry Cersei and would be king of westeros… so many times he saved those lannister guys...
-
I wish Jaimie, Bronn, Dickon and Randyll get captured. If else, then it's bullshit.
Obviously Bronn and Jaimie are not drowning there, but if with his armor and his golden arm he manages to survive AND escape–--- then the battle would have had no point.
Beginning of the next episode, we might see Tyrion running to the lake and order the Dotrakis to rescue Jaimie because he'd make a valuable hostage. Like "give us Yara Greyjoy and we send back Jaimie so that he can fulfill the prophecy and kill his sister".
The most anticlimatic thing would be that Daenerys thinks Jaimie got roasted by Drogon......
-
I didn't notice it at first, but Dany telling Jon to bend the knee, to led go of his pride, is the exact same thing Jon said to Mance Rayder. I also didn't notice Jon's subtle reaction to those words. No no, Jon's not bending the knee any time soon.
@TLC:
Are you guys serious? It's her baby brother. God forbid characters be written organically. No no, we have to think about ratings and the audience attention span.
Theon supposedly killed the Stark boys. If Arya didn't know this, she at least knew Winterfell wasn't a Stark castle anymore. Arya for all intents and purposes has already mourned the death of all three of her brothers, her mother, her father. For Sansa to bring up Rickon's second death - on screen, is not necessary. They mourned their father most appropriately I would say.
I don't care regardless. Just, whatever flows better.

People in this world really need to understand running in a straight line from projectile is about the dumbest thing you can do. I mean she can clearly see that Bronn is firing at her so what's up with the frontal attack? Anyway considering the effects on the gigantic skull I expected more damage.
Having the battle from the point of Bronn for a moment was pretty good. It is probably the part I enjoyed the most. That and the Dragon showing his roasting powers.
Danny had the same arguments as me about the bending thing. Jon being prideful is pretty annoying to me. He has never really had any pride or really show to undestand it. He understands honor but pride is the kind of thing he could never grasp and got him trouble many time with him not understanding how it was obvious. But then the one time that this lack would be useful rather than a hindrance is the time he suddenly develop some kind of pride. Annoying.
Arya return was not as warm as I hoped. But considering her reaction when she heard Brann name I take it as result of the kind of relation she had with Sansa before they left. Anyway she seems to take Bran transformation better than Sansa and is now a pretty good fighter since she can Brienne on. I am happy we didn't have Sansa intervening to make her go easy. The Stark family might be damage but it seems they might come out on top. On the other hand it seems a given the name is about to be wiped with Bran dedication to his new role.
With that bit with the guards that lasted to long and the tone of the discussion about Greyworm between the queen and the assistant it seems tv show silly tropes are making their way into the show. That bit last time between assistant and Greyworm already announced that.
I hate the idea that Danny andJon are attracted to each other. If anything this story of recent years has constantly been screw by characters that took their libido to seriously. Danny utiliterian way and Jon total obliviousness to thing is about the one advantage over the old rulers so I really don't need them getting interested in banging each other. I really hope there is nothing there but the seends have been planted.
No Sam this week.
So Euron wasn't there to stop the ships this time? Did he know Dragons were coming or he just got lucky?
-
As epic this episode was on other shores, Podrick reacting to Brienne's actions just made it.
-
Bronn is the one guy that never gets paid by the Lannisters(except Tyrion).
-
I wish Jaimie, Bronn, Dickon and Randyll get captured. If else, then it's bullshit
same, unless Randyll is(or gets killed), Dickon seems more sentimental, and would understand that kneeling to Daenerys is the right thing to do at this time.
Obviously Bronn and Jaimie are not drowning there, but if with his armor and his golden arm he manages to survive AND escape–--- then the battle would have had no point
.
while I do want Jaime to be taken hostage and really really expect plot armor to fuck itself for a minute, I do not believe this battle was pointless, this is much like the "stalingrad battle", where germany started to lose against the USRR and didn't stopped losing until the war was over.
Danny just stopped the gold meant to pay Braavos(thus losing their support), and likely the chance to make a deal with the Golden Company.
with Randyll and Dickon captured or killed, The Reach would likely turn to support Daenerys, since Olenna was allied to her.
other several houses thrughout the entire continent upon hearing about Daenerys easily winning a battle when only one dragon was involved, will also give her many other houses to support her against Cercei.
There is also Casterly Rock apparently successfully taken over, which in the "medieval" world of GoT, losing your symbolic house to a foreign invasion will also make her lose support from houses from their own territoty(or at least I remember this was the reason Stannis got sieged at Storm's End, to defend the Baratheon castle, and with it, the support of their loyal houses)at this point, her lannister army at KingsLanding and Euron's fleet are the only thing keeping her in the iron throne tbh.

The gold made it; the food didn't.

Honestly I'm kind of glad the show just sort of let's puberty happened to the once child actors without trying to in-universe justify it.
Like "we all know this sort of makes no in-universe sense, but we all understand why, so let's collectively get over it."They're really lucky Maisie Williams ended up staying roughly the same stature and build and didn't hit some crazy growth spurt.
-
Maisie is essentially a Pomeranian.
Bran had a crazy growth spurt.
-
The producers collectively wiped their brow when they realized that Maisie and Sophie have retained the same basic proportion to each other.
-
Sophie turned into a giant, but it actually works out nicely because of her change in stature and maturity.
-
I really want to see Sansa briefing Arya on the current situation.
"So, hey, remember Old Nan? Well, she's dead now - actually, so is Hodor, ask Bran, or maybe don't - but remember all those stories she told us about the White Walkers and zombies and ice spiders? Yeah turns out she wasn't bullshitting. Also Jon died and came back."
-
Jon and Arya is the only reunion anyone really cares about. Watch the writers tease it for most of the season before giving right before one of them dies.
-
Well the Actor of Bran isn actually that big, he is 1,8 m… the problem is more that a big part of the cast is small, if im thinkng about Robb, Jon, Ramsey, Theon... thats the reason the actress of Sansa looks so big but she is only 1.75...
-
Going forward with the iron bank, is true that in the book is anti slavery, but:
Book 6 excerpts spoilers:
! there are also "bravosi elections" coming, and one of the candidates is pro slavery. I'd figure it would play to littlefingers plans rather than cersei tho.
! Arya's actions and training targets also further the pro slavery (so anti dany) and also anti cersei agenda. According to some tinfoil hat theories. -
What does " chaos is a ladder " mean ? Please don't answer if it means spoiler.
-
Varys and Littlefinger had a "I want" monologues at each other a few seasons back. Jofrey was still alive. Littlefinger's whole point was "chaos is a ladder" as he's using chaos to rise as much as possible, society be damned.
-
Oh nice call back thank you.
-
Oh nice call back thank you.
I recommend you to look that up on Youtube again, that is probably one of the best conversations in the whole series…
By the way Davos is the successor of Stannis as the "Grammar Nazi"

Stupid Jon had a proper castle education. Should know better.
-
Considering how unimportant Bronn is it should be easy for Tyrion to save him by getting him put in a dungeon until the end of the war.
-
Had chills throughout the entire last scene, cause I didnt want to see major characters on both sides die, hell was afraid for the goddamn dragon, who really has no character, lol. Overall the episode was fantastic.
-
I did think the dragon could die when Bronn shot it. But in the last scene there is no way any of them was dying. Which is why I thought the ending was a little weird.
-
People love these dragons way too much, it's eerie.

Simple. It's called "Picking your battles."
They could have gone closer to the books and kept recasting the actors to keep them the same age. Or instead they decide they have bigger fish to fry and let the actors they got age and grow into their roles. Far better than having to roll the dice for each new child actor and praying they are talented enough to act through, at this point, far more serious and difficult work.
Adapations need to make choices on what does and doesn't make the cut.
-
Oh nice call back thank you.
It's an in-universe callback too, basically it's Bran in-universe quoting Baelish from a conversation that he was nowhere near, had no way of knowing about, and only two people were involved in years ago.
Bran's mega sight into the past is being shown off, and it creeps Baelish out because he's like "wtf". -
So a Targaryen and their dragon obliterated an army composed of Lannisters and Reachmen on an open field. Again. Only this time the Reach party didn't have their entire ruling line lost in the span of twelve minutes.
People love these dragons way too much, it's eerie.
Drogon is a good boy, helping mommy with work.
-
The prop and CG people whose job it was to work on burned up ash corpses clearly had a lot of fun this episode.
-
Can Bran really see everything from the past and the present ? Or would he actually die before seeing everything ? I mean, he's human.
-
In theory he'd need the trees to see, but there weren't any trees inside the tower of joy.
He'd see Ned's excecution, and follow Joffrey into the past, and then see Littlefinger, and every part of his slimy life.
-
Isn't he also at this point loaded up with all that the Three Eyed Raven ever saw? Like he got uploaded with all that data and is still in the process of downloading it?
And this is a big reason he's become like fractured and "not Bran"? -
Think of it like Dr. Manhattan.
He'd really like to talk to Arya but first he has to watch Rhaegar elope with their aunt.

I wasn't really into the "show casting reason" mode, I was just shocked on how he was so cute when he was little and he turned out well, not that good looking, no offense to him…

So Bran's doing the equivalent of marathoning youtube videos while people occasionally try to get his attention?

I'm impressed how Maisie Williams(Arya Stark), being 20 yrs old, still manages to look like a little rascal playing around with grown ups.
-
I've met her at Comic Con. She's really tiny, and I'm not exactly tall.
-
They lucked out with her not getting a growth spurt and becoming as tall as Sophie.^^
