Hated the opening scene with Jaime surviving without any issues whatsoever.

Didn't like all the fast forwarding, but it is what it is at this point in the series.

Also, I would've thought Arya would be more adept at not being watched/followed than to let Littlefinger trick her.

And Jon learning of Arya and Bran still alive and with Sansa? He seemed angry more than anything. He should have went to them, especially the way they are warping from one place to the next.

If it wasn't for the battle scenes, this season would be a little weak IMO. I like that it's starting to tie everything together, but they are working st a completely different pace than the first 6 seasons. If they needed more episodes, they should have made this a full season.

Also, did anyone catch Gilly reading to Sam the account of the septon annulling a marriage of a Rhaegar in Dorne? I can't believe he didn't perk up to that. Dany's older brother's marriage to Ellia Martel was ANNULLED. Do you know what this means? Jon Snow is NOT a ****. Rhaegar married Lyanna Stark...
That Samwell heard this and didn't want to know more about it was sooo annoying.

Although, I am happy that he is leaving, because it paves the way for him to become the lord of house Tarly.
He wouldn't have any reason to want to know anything about some Targaryen prince that died before he was out of diapers...

He wouldn't, but Sam knows a lot about history and once he heard Prince Rhaegar, who was pretty darn modern, getting his marriage annulled his interest should have piqued.  Hopefully he took that book with him.

I'm not sold that she's playing into his trap. There was a weird hesitation as she turned away from him and walked the other direction as she exited her room. Makes me feel like she knows he was there watching.

Yeah I agree with this, they've shown over and over again that he loves books, reading and knowledge. If he wasn't having a temper-tantrum I'm sure he would have been interested. I think he was mad that everyone else gets to "fast-travel" while he's still a low level acolyte in Old Town  :P

It also means he officially became the rightful heir to the Iron Throne yesterday as the only surviving natural-born child of the crown prince. Heh.

There didn't seem to be much method to his book collecting madness.

Yes exactly. His birth order would come first, which means Dany is technically rebelling against him by proclaiming herself queen lol.

On the bright side, he can probably make millions doing Gray Scale Cure Info-mercials now that his maester career is over.

Wasn't Jon Ned's kid.  Or was that just the story Ned told to uphold his sister's good name? Is Brandon the only one who knows that?  KInd of hazy on this part.
Yup

I sure hope Sam took those records with him. I was clapping and shouting by myself when they revealed it.

Jon is the true king. The problem now is, the Northeners. How would take take this news if they found out? I think Littlefinger knows already...

Ned claimed he was his Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again. because the son of a Targaryean would surely be killed, even if he was a Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again..

It allowed him to raise Jon without revealing his identity

I've read too many fan theories at this point, so disclaimer that I might be adding things that didn't happen in the show. But we do know that Jon is said to be Ned's Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again. that he brought home after Robert's Rebellion. Ned tell's Jon he will tell him about his mother next time they meet, but get's his head lopped off. Rhaegar Targaryen "kidnapped" Lyanna Stark which is what started Robert's Rebellion. You see young Ned go to get her back at the Tower of Joy in Bran's vision. You see Lyanna die in a bed and make Ned promise to protect her son (I think she says "Jon" specifically?) Now we are being told Rhaegar had his marriage annulled, which could mean Jon isn't just a Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again. Targaryen, he's actually the legitimate one, and in line to get the throne BEFORE Dany would. Did I miss anything in the show?

Nope, this sounds about right. Not sure you can make the name being whispered in the Tower scene, though...
