Game of Thrones ***spoilers

[tgrimes]

Who watched & what did you think?

[tgrimes]

I love Arya and her badassness.

[starbuck]

A slow start for me. I thought most was just everyone posturing for what's to come. Which is reminiscent of earlier seasons but I was really excited with the pace from last season and was hoping that would continue.

But, still good!

[starbuck]

And I can't decide of it's more likely that Arya assassinates Circe or that Jamie (who seems to be realizing how fucking crazy she is) decides to take her down.

[goldenlove]

I was hoping Arya was heading home and would reunite with Sansa and Jon, but then her story line would be done, right? I was just thinking last night if Arya would be able to kill Cersei. It wouldn't make sense though because the prophecy that said it would be her brother. So I'm not really sure what will happen with Arya.

The citadel montage was disgusting and way too long. And baby Sam is so big! I was trying to figure out how much time had passed based on how big he got, but I'm apparently a horrible judge at baby age.

And did anyone else see the dire wolf in the preview for next week? Is that Arya's??

[Cheshie6]

I think Arya will do it disguised as Jamie... I think Jamie was scared AF! Also the Euryon Greyjoy commenting about having 2 hands!?? Just saying!

Anyone else think Ed Sheeran seemed awkward? Just me? Mmmm k! Lol

Lyanna also a BAMF! Her speech to Lord Glover!

[goldenlove]

I was soooo distracted by Euryon outfit. Like where did he get rockstar clothes from? I think he had eyeliner on too.

And yes, Lyanna was amazing as always!!

Shit, I'm coming right off of listening to Binge Mode podcasts for the past 2 weeks. That might have been a book thing not in the show. So spoiler???

[tgrimes]

Tell me about this prophecy. Is it the same one where it said her children would die? I totally don't remember anything other than that.

I bet Jamie ends up on Tyrion's team.

I hope Arya is the one that kills Cersei. But if she does it as Jamie, then doesn't that mean Jamie has to die so she can take his face?

[dashook]

Completely forgot about the prophecy thing. It would be super bad ass if Arya killed Cersei while disguised as Jamie.

Agree with goldenlove that the Citadel montage was way too long.

Wished there had been more Tyrion.

There was no need for Ed Sheeran to be in the show.

Did anyone else catch that Sir Jorah was one of the sick people in the Citadel?

[goldenlove]

tgrimes

It said that she would wed a king until a younger queen takes her down. The king will have 20 children, she will have 3. Gold will be their crowns, gold will be their shrouds.

SPOILER: Click to show

There is one part left out of the show but is in the books that the "Valonqar" would choke the life out of her. Valonqar means little brother.

That's a good point.  I think so.

Yes! His arm is covered and he asked about Dany. Do you think he'll be cured?

I didn't think they could cure that disease.  Can they?

I would love it if that happened!  But it'd still be awesome if Arya did it.

It wasn't cured but stopped with Shireen. I'm assuming he's there for a experimental treatments.

There is no reason for Ed Sheeran to ever be in any show...

Haha Shireen is Stannis' daughter.

I hope I'm not coming off as a know it all. Everything is just fresh in my mind from that podcast.

This is what I was thinking too.

[jubilantsquirrel]

I liked it, they did a nice job getting every one to where they needed to be to move the story along.

I loved the cold open. I'm happy Arya finally has an interesting storyline.

I did not care for the Ed scene. It was weird and out of place and didn't mean anything.

Is Cersi the older twin? If Arya kills Cersi using Jaime's face then that means she'll also have to kill Jaime. I suppose if anyone is going to take down the last of the Lannisters it would be Arya. I also don't think Tyrion is a Lannister, so I guess it would have to be Jaime, or Jaime's face that kills Cersi.

[goldenlove]

That whole Ed Sheeran scene was so weird. Would you really trust drinking wine from strangers right after you poisoned all those people? I was expecting something to happen.

[goldenlove]

jubilantsquirrel Jaime is younger by a couple minutes.

[starbuck]

What king could she wed? Like literally what king is left aside from her brother?

OMG ignore this. I thought you were talking Arya but clearly that was Cercei

I loves me some Jorah. Truly.

I had the same thought!

I feel like the scene had no purpose other than to simply allow them to be able to say "Ed Sheeran is going to be in this season!" It advanced the plot not at all. Like seriously who GAF?

There's a theory that he's Targaryen.

I think they tried to play like it like maybe she was going to kill them and take their faces, but then changed her mind? They zoomed in on their swords just sitting on against a rock or something and then showed Arya looking kinda shifty. But clearly that was just a throw away scene and written solely to get Ed Sheeran's face on the screen.
