Jon will choose honor. Rhaegar might be his biological father, but he’s Ned Stark’s son. Ned always chose honor, even at great cost to himself. Jon will do the same.
Yes. But which honor will he choose, his stark family or Targaryen family.

You realize he’s going to kill Cersei? He’s not going to save her. He’s going to kill her. I would be shocked if it’s anything else.

Man I dont think he will kill her. I think hes going back to save her. Doubt he succeeds, but I think he is going to piss us off. I hope you are right.

I didnt care one iota about the Starbucks.... when watching it live...it blends in looking like it could be a frothy beer.. and you have to look close to even tell

This episode is what game of thrones has been about the entire show.......it feels like the people that are upset about it are just the people who jumped on after all the big battles hoping to see nothing but huge warfare every episode...

This!!!! People that get pissed on the ones that came in after season 6 instead of people like you and me watching from the beginning. The show is never going to be perfect, it’s a show. It’s also fantasy! It’s the same argument as to why Frodo didn’t get on an eagle and fly to Mordor.

To me, one of the biggest takeaways from last night was Arya saying she doesn’t plan on returning to Winterfell.

Does she not expect to survive the war? Will she return to Bravos and the Faceless Men?

I wonder what Enron thought when Tyrion asks Cersei if she did wanted her unborn child to die in a battle? Is he smart enough to catch how Tyrion would know that info?
You realize Varys was able to find out about the Golden Company joining Cersie, the fact Cersei was letting everyone into the red keep and that they had Messandai as a prisoner. I think if they can find out all that, Euron would not be really shocked if he thought they just found out she was pregnant, even though Tyrion already knew.

yep. And honestly that LOTR question always made me wonder if those people just didnt realize that their entire quest was based on Sauron's eye not seeing them... lol

Maybe, maybe not.

Still a dick move to take a girl's virginity and then split in the middle of the night without attempting to tell her. Plus I assumed that he was also staying up there so that Dany and Jon could claim him as a hostage to Cersei and threaten to kill him if Cersei didn't capitulate.

I'm not really sure how I feel about last night's episode. It efficiently got everything from the Battle of Winterfell to the Siege of King's Landing, I guess. Maybe I just can't stand Dany so much that I'm inclined to not like episodes where she is central to the plot.

I think Jamie has every intention of killing her but will fail somehow and it costs him his life, then somehow, Arya takes Cersei out in the end. Arya completes her list, goes on to the life of a lone assassin.

Yea. Her scene with Nymeria was telling. Asked Nymeria to come back to Winterfell before realizing “that’s not you”. Arya will survive and travel to Essos and explore.

Let’s talk about The Mountain’s swing. Looks to be something of a mixture between a golf swing and a baseball swing. If he would have opened his hips up a bit he could have really gotten some distance.

I think the newly named Lord of Storm's End needs to pay back his queen by putting his blacksmithing skills to use. Her last remaining dragon could use some scorpion proof armor.

Yes. It should be Jamie or Tyrion that kills her if the prophecy holds true. Should not be Arya.

How about a compromise, let's say Arya cloaked as Jamiel, or Tyrion? Cersi wouldn't know the difference.

So Sansa really doesn't want to give up the north again even at Jon Snow's expense. Could be at his expense, maybe she wants him to take the throne that way her brother would be ruling the north even as the king of the seven kingdoms.

Part of me is fed up with Tyrion and company holding Danny back. She's the only one in the seven kingdoms playing by rules. On the flip side (and I would love to see her cut loose on KL) I'm afraid once she does go full blast there is no return to normal. She left little doubt that she doesn't want Jon to be king over her. That relationship has to be close to ending and once everyone finds out who he is that's going to be the final straw that sets her off. They will never accept her as a ruler as long as he is alive.

All of this would be so much easier if they would just put Bran in a box and take him everywhere. I'd use him like GPS asking him for turn by turn directions. If he doesn't do something in the next two episodes he is going to be more useless than Joffery in the series.

Yes, but it seemed that baby was going to be a story of significance somewhere.

I understand the thought he shattered when the NK did, but if he wasn’t there then why?
