book spoilers + All the pieces are in play for a LSH reveal. Jaime is at Riverrun, Brienne is heading to Riverrun, and the Hound is close by being harassed by Brotherhood Without banners, it's almost a certainty we'll be getting that soon.

tru

wow literally one minute of my favorite character and they freaking stab her.

they really need to stop dragging this Arya story out. I was fine with it up until now but after last week's awesome build-up to the Arya vs. Waif showdown and it STILL not being fully resolved this week is just annoying. Still holding out that the payoff will be worth it though

Reallyyy liked the Jon/Sansa/Davos stuff this episode, especially the visit to the Mormonts. Lyanna Mormont was absolutely perfect. And I liked the Jaime/Blackfish showdown too, actually captured pretty much exactly how I imagined all of that from the books. Other than that the episode was just alright, mostly felt like table-setting for the climax of this season. Definitely excited to see where the Hound goes from here

I'm glad we finally got Yara making out with a girl and planning to fuck tits off (but like, since this was a Volantis brothel slave, it's :| for me. actually that whole scene was :| for me), but now that she is officially on the wlw list, she's at a bigger risk of dying for ~drama and whatever~ and D&D suck anyway, so I can't even be really excited

The girl totally looked like an eastern slave in the trailer tho!

Still!

I'm also like "Really, Yara? You're gonna sail all the way to fucking Essos and try to get Dany? There's nowhere closer you could stop first?"

I suppose, another failed opportunity was the actual name of the title itself. If this septon was truly Meribald, then they left out the most important speeches in the story as well

Imagine this:

Book Spoilers	+
Yara = Quentyn? Like seriously, nothing has happened since 'that' scene earlier this season. There has to be something more that's going to happen, right? The arc wouldn't come full circle like it did with Quentyn, but it'd be a different type of tragic for Yara.

I dunno, I'd probably be pissed, but at the same time happy. I wanted that moment to come to the screen ever since I read it! It's literally so perfect to not use!

I doubt Yara has aspirations of riding the dragon let alone try to even communicate with it.

Lol. Dany's scene last episode even feels more 'why the fuck was that included?' after this episode.

Seriously. Probably the most forced scene in the entire show.

LET ME WEAR MY HAT FOR AWHILE, OKAY?!?

Fuck yeah, Ian McShane is here at last! I've been waiting for him to appear all season, such a cool actor, this is going to be great-

Annnnnnnnd he's gone.

Fuck you D&D! Waste of talent.

Still, Clegane is back, so that's something...

Does Yara like girls in the books, i can't remember? That was surprising.

It was an okay episode...i'm still feeling a total lack of investment in everything that's happening though. Arya getting stabbed was the closest I've come to caring about any character this season. And even then, I don't find myself on the edge of my seat wondering what the outcome is going to be. And she is one of my fav characters.

Have they done that before?

Not that I recall!

It was quite funny.
