I didn't see a thread started yet. Holy cow, I can't catch my breath. So bummed that Margery is gone. And with all Cercy's children now gone I can't imagine what she'll be capable. And Arya, that surprised me.
ETA: I'm so glad Grandma Tyrell made it. She's my favorite. I will truly be grief stricken if she ever gets knocked off.

Aaaagggghhhhh!!! So long to wait now. Jamie knows Cersei on the iron throne is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Now that Jon is King of the North I'm even more worried about his safety.
Littlefinger has to come up with a new plan now. He's so freakin creepy. To him Catlyn and Sansa are interchangeable. Euwww.

oh my...the scene with the baby's eyes...I was 'ugly crying'. I'm thinking this is the best season yet. Hoping Cersei's days are numbered!

WOW! Great episode! Arya giving it to old Frey was so satisfying.

Dh and I were discussing how some big houses are all but gone now, unless there are more distant relations around. The Lannisters, well unless Jaime decides to quit banging his sister, are all but done for (I don't think of Tyrion as a Lannister, I buy the "he wasn't really Tywin's son" theory). Grandma Tyrell is all that's left of her house. The Boltons are done. The Frey men are gone. The Baratheons are gone too.
The Starks and the Targaryans are left though. Which kind of makes the further confirmation of R + L = J a bit more interesting.

Am I the only one that groaned at seeing Dorne in the preview?
Am I the only one that cheered to see Winterfell in the opening credits without the flayed man banners?
Am I the only one who yelled, "They're in the pie!" and spoiled Arya's big reveal?
I'll divide my reactions by location.
King's Landing:
I thought the music was very interesting in the King's landing scenes. So much piano instead of the usual strings gave it a very different feel.
I was surprised to lose so many characters in one fell swoop at the great sept. And I am also sorry to lose Margaery before we find out what her plan consisted of. Some sort of betrayal of Cersei, obviously, but her devious mind must have had something wonderful in store.
I was happy to hear one last mention of poor dear Renly. One of my cats is named after him.
The scene with Lancel crawling to the candles intercut with the scenes in the sept, and the explosion, just amazing.
Jaime's face at Cersei's coronation... maybe he is finally over her.
Mereen:
Happy to not spend a lot of time here, I like my episodes Dany light, and I suspect I won't get a lot more like that. Also sad to see the last of Daario, and it doesn't surprise me a bit that Dany just saw him as an annoyance to get out of the way. She is very cold for someone who likes burning things so much.
Also confused about how Varys can get to Dorne and back so fast?
The Twins:
I guess the appearance of Arya here (and again, she traveled AWFULLY fast...) puts a pin in any remaining Lady Stoneheart hopes?
The North:
Sansa, please, please, PLEASE do not hook up with the ultimate creep, Littlefinger. All the houses acclaiming Jon and the way the camera was lingering on those two doesn't bode well.
Goodbye, Uncle Benjen. I have been waiting for you to come back since season 1, and I guess that's all I'm gonna get.
And YES YES YES, R+ L really does =J. But couldn't she have been considerate enough to say it out loud instead of whispering it in Ned's ear? DH was confused about why I was bouncing up and down and pointing.
Top notch season, and I like how storylines are coming together, dead wood is being cut, justice is being served, answers are revealing.

I don't think Sansa will hook up with Littlefinger, I just pray she knows she needs to keep a close eye on him. Hopefully she'll know he's already planning his next move.... I'm sure she noticed he wasn't raising a sword to the King In the North.
I didn't see Arya's revenge coming and I enjoyed it so much more for that. She did make it to the Twins awfully quick, didn't she?
So anyone else think that Varys is playing both sides of the coin? His little birds carried out the plan on the Red Keep, and he moved from Dorne to Dany's side in the blink of an eye. Or does that mean that the Tyrell's (or what's left of them) and the Sand Snakes are aligning with Dany?

I did not see Tommen's suicide coming. At least that got him out of Cersie's clutches.
I thought all the wild fire had been used in the Battle of the Blackwater in the books: Tyrion used it to burn Stannis's fleet. I am going to read the books again before November when The Winds of Winter is rumored to come out. That way I will be back in book mode and ready for the diverged plot lines between them and the TV series.
Good setup for next season. Am I a terrible person that last week I reveled in Sansa watching the dogs eat her husband and this week I laughed when Arya somehow COOKED all the Frey men and then fed them to their father? Wonder how the Mountain will fare against the dragons...

Claybourne--or whatever his name is--the creepy guy that rebuilt the Mountain, took over the little birds when Varys left. I think Varys is solidly with Dani and Tyrion. |

Will Jon try to win the Iron Throne? I don't know that he wants it, but he deserves it - he is the true protector of the realm. That's where his mindset is, not in power. |

Probably the most perfect episode of any series ever. It's going to take me a day or two to even be ready to talk about it all. But I will say that I am sorry to see Margaery gone. Also, I got a little teary when Dany named Tyrion her hand. Peter Dinklage's acting in that scene was phenomenal. Knowing Tyrion's history, especially from the books, and how his brilliance is never respected, you know how much it meant to him. He's never wanted the Iron Throne, the pinnacle for him is to be the power behind the throne.

This episode was amazing! I'm sorry to see Margery go, but it makes sense. Now Cersei will have to be killed. I really hope Jamie kills her. Arya is a bad ass. She cooked the sons into the bread! I love her! Who else could possibly be Jon's father? It has to be Raegar, right? I hated the music during the first half of the show.

This confirmed a long held theory that Jon is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryan. Rhaegar had hidden her in the Tower of Joy, Robert and Ned thought she was kidnapped but they ran away together. Thus Jon is the true rightful heir to the Iron Throne. But Meera needs to get her ass in gear and get Bran to Winterfell pronto!!

You gotta hand it to Varys and Littlefinger. Those two have pretty much masterminded everything in this show.

So Jon and Dany are cousins? Could they marry? I think Sansa should have kept the dogs for Littlefinger.

DH was talking earlier about how there's no one left for Jon to marry, but I just rewatched it, and I thought the same thing. She's a badass! |
