If Sansa kills (or "defeats") Littlefinger this season I will be so angry. It feels way too obvious and has for awhile. That's just the type of justice and victory that the prime seasons of the show would subvert and rob us of (in the best way), but if it happens then it's just the type of fan service that's commonplace now. I'M BRACING FOR IT but I hope they don't go down that road
Remember how good they were? This was the show for me and these two were the best embodiment of the game of thrones. Great dialogue and acting and now they've both been entirely wasted and ruined. The writers had no idea what to do with Littlefinger so they stalled with him for ages and then had the Stark girls kill him for the most fan servicey moment ever
Theon's storyline next season is the most interesting to me tbh. I'm really not all that interested in the Great War stuff. Theon's scene at the beach was the highlight of the episode for me until that "OH SHIT HE HAS NO BALLS UH OHHH" moment
Agreed, I'm rooting pretty hard for Theon. His scene with Jon then at the beach were the best tonight
Cersei and her three minions are the only villainous people left on the show. That's kinda crazy. There used to be a bunch of colorful villains and grey characters but now they've all been culled. And the heroes are all very clearly heroes, none are morally grey at all
I did like Jamie telling Cersei to go fuck herself and calling out her bluff but it's a big contrast to his "fuck everyone who isn't us" not long ago. His character is so inconsistent
So is Tyrion...supposed to be in love with Dany? Was that why he was so upset about her and Jon together? Apparently some people took it as he loves her and others took it as if he plotted against her in his deal with Cersei or some shit, I don't remember getting that vibe at all
Too many winks at the audience in this one as reminders. They pulled so many groups of people together and each time they did it they had the same shot of different pairings giving each other knowing glances cause the audience had to be reminded that there's some significant rivalry there. Ellaria and The Mountain, Jaime and Euron, Tyrion and Davos. Every time it happened I rolled my eyes

"Hey you, shall we remind the audience how we're connected?"
"Sure, allow me to begin!"
And then they just fall back into line and a different pair comes forward to do the same thing. Not only did it happen over and over in a 10 minute stretch alone, but its been happening ALL season more than any other
It makes more sense for people who haven't seen each other but the worst are people who haven't even met but have an acquaintance in common who happens to come up
I counted, these types of shots/interactions happened exactly seven hundred and eighty-five times in this episode
We don't really think Tormund and Beric are dead do we? People are just assuming they died. Surely they wouldn't save Tormund from a brutal death last week just to kill him off screen here

naw there's no way they'd just kill them offscreen like that. I think the only ones they have are Syrio/Stannis/Blackfish but all of those were heavily implied
I'm pretty positive they're just gonna show them down in Winterfell next season with no explanation how they got down that fast
lol I didn't think so either, that'd be ridiculous. It's just weird how many reviews of the episode I read stated they died like it was a fact
That sounds great @ throwing the letter in the fire
I kinda wanna read the books but I don't wanna bother starting if he never finishes them. I'd be so mad if the tv show ending was the only ending I had
Saw a quick interview with Dinklage and he seemed to be saying that it just made him nervous because relationships muddy things and tend not to end well. I couldn't tell if he was saying that as himself or if he meant that's what Tyrion was thinking
I think I was only half paying attention during the last bit of that scene (I didn't see how he knew she was pregnant) but Tyrion plotting with Cersei doesnt seem to make sense to me at all. And that last shot of Tyrion seeing them bang doesn't feel like it was meant to be a guilty reaction to going against her
