A Game of Thrones (contains spoilers)

[Phantom255x]

Seeing some of the reunions (Arya - Hot Pie and Arya - Nymeria) and set ups of the (hopefully) soon meet ups and reunions (Arya back at Winterfell; Dany to meet Jon) definitely were nice to see this episode.

The ending though. Man...  (Intense)

Was sad to see that final minute with Theon. Poor guy. PTSD and pretty much made another coward move (but not his fault and he was helpless). Then seeing him float around the wreckage... 

But seriously, I mean I know Euron can't die yet... But even after all that he's still alive?? LOL 

Felt like I saw him get stabbed like 50 times (or maybe he dodged every attempt and I saw it differently on my laptop lol) 

The scene and sounds made it look like Euron got stabbed and beaten up really good (as in.. Overkill)

Euron dabbles in sorcery in the books.  He is a much darker character.  I suspect we will learn why he survived.


The directors may know how Martin intends to end the story but they basically seem to be trying to validate the fan theories or wishes in their storyline.  So far, the storyline has suffered without the books to go on.   It feels very rushed now.

I was about to write the same thing. I don't know how much involved Martin is but it more than obvious that someone else is in charge of the story.

TBH i don't mind much ... I still enjoy the plot and the series

They have what, 12 episodes left to tell everything that needs to be told? I'm surprised at how leisurely it's been going so far.

I'm still wondering if they're going to work Catelyn Stark back in at some point.

The meeting of the new alliance was kinda fun.  Reminded me of the super friends.

It's neat to see that after 6 seasons most of the characters have leveled up enough to fast travel. 

Seriously voyages that would take weeks or months are happening regularly within or between single episodes.

I was confused by that too but they were doing a lot of jump-cuts where a "good" character would mess up a random Ironborn - sometimes midway through fighting Euron and sometimes a different character than the one fighting him - then jump back to him. The dim lighting and sameyness of the background made it really hard to tell what was what. Euron took some hits but I'm not sure he was ever stabbed and he definitely wasn't the dude the one Sand Snake stabbed in the crotch.

Speaking of the dim lights (spoilers below):

I couldn't tell if that was Yara hanging from the ship, along with (presumably)the other Sand Snakes shown dead on the front of the ship.

I kind of guessed that they would keep Yara and Ellaria Sand alive to take back to Cersei, but it looked like that was them they were showing dead/hanged. Is that what others thought, too?

Nah, I think it was just supposed to show the carnage of the attack, not named characters. Pretty sure they'll be taking Yara, Ellaria, and whichever Sand Snake survived to Cersei to get all Mad King on.

Yup.  All the flames and sparks etc...made it really hard to see what was what.

Also, the storytelling so far has been confusing in general.

In Episode 2, plans were hatched, ravens were sent that made it to Winterfell from the Citadel and Dragonstone, and departures happened...

... but apparently Castle Black either didn't bother to notify Jon that his long-lost brother has turned up, or sent a turtle? Didn't he arrive in the end of Episode 1?

The hanging girl was one of the Sand Snakes that was killed.

I really didn't see the point of the Grey Worm sex scene.  That was a lot of wasted time for a show with so little time left.  I really wish they would stop with that nonsense.

This was right there with the Hardhome episode as the best episode yet!

It was pretty packed for a shorter episode. A lot of fan service

Yeh, that was pretty action packed.  There's just no end to the cool possibilities with everyone meeting everyone.

High quality dragon action.
