I'm surprised Jamie wasn't captured.

Bye-bye Dickon and Dickon's daddy. Should have bent the knee fellas.

The way Jon was petting that dragon, he's a Targ.

Gilly uncovered (though Sam wasnt listening when she said it) that Arys Targ marriage was annulled and he was wed to another. To me this means he married Ned's sister, therefore Jon Snow isn't a bastard.

Capturing an undead and bringing it to Cersi? That's their plan? The scenes where everyone is discussing this in Dragon Stone fell a bit flat.

Gendry is back and looks old af, but a badass with the hammer, just like his daddy.

It was such a stretch that Tyrion went to Kings Landing to meet with Jamie. That's some insanely high-risk behavior.

Cersi pregnant? Maggie the frog never said she'd have more that 3 kids, right? So this baby won't be making it. Also, did I hear her right? She's going to meet with Danny? There's going to be some fireworks and eventual deception there for sure.

Arya sneaking on Little Finger was perfect. The raven scroll talks about the dagger? Someone needs to take LF out and I think it will happen in two episodes (last episode of the season).

Sam finally decides to become the man he knows he can be and figure out how to beat the army of the dead. Very cool, but they'll be looking for him for sure.

The GoT dream team gets assembled. Holy crap, there's some epic fighters in that group. Next week is going to make our hearts race. Look for a Barric and Theros to bite the dust.

Overall. Stuff is happening at a blazing (sorry Dickon) speed, which I'm still getting used to, but appreciate this awesome story feeling like it's coming to a head. An insane concept to even ponder.

Needed some Magnificent Seven theme music playing when those bad asses come out of the tunnel. Too cool to have picked up Gendry who swings the hammer like Dad. Add in Jorah. Baddest band in the world.

So, one minute Jamie is sinking to the bottom of the deepest river in westeros and the next he's several miles die river still in armor. Seems legit
Yeah, clearly they thought a weeks time will make us forget common sense.
I am betting thoros and Beric die. The others survive this skirmish

So my guess is Sam meets up with the guys north of Eastwatch 10 minutes into next week's episode. He will reveal that he has traveled across the Narrow Sea to investigate a sweet tip involving Valyria he discovered in Oldtown. While in Valyria, he engaged in a multi-month archaeological expedition and has unearthed a massive cache of Valyrian steel weapons. While digging, he also stumbled into a lair of long dormant dragon eggs. He loaded all that crap up into ships and hauled ass back to Dragonstone where Daenerys went all naked bonfire with the new dragon eggs. As he is telling his story to the Suicide Squad north of the wall, Daenerys comes screaming across the sky on Drogon and her new flock of 37 dragons. Winning!

This season has been great but this episode was not. I get that there is no sense of time or distance and understand why. That doesn't bother me.

But this plan is rediculous. Go out on foot, find the army of the dead, and capture one? Bring it back and then transport it 2000 miles to king's landing? How? In a wagon?

Even if you did, what would that take? Months?

Seriously? That is the best storyline these guys could come up with?

At least ride some freakin' horses out into the abyss. I'm not a military genius, but one would think that if you're going for a quick hit, capture, and run attack you'd want to prioritize mobility.

The writers have said they wished they could have more episodes to write the story out more but the cast wants to move on to other projects so they only have a few episodes to get everything wrapped up. Pretty much this season and next you have to ignore the jetpacking and time travel if you want to enjoy it more.

Only 8 episodes of this show remain and get ready for some longer episodes. Next weeks episode is 71 minutes, which would make it the longest GoT episode to date, but then the Season Finale is a whopping 81 minutes.

They had a group with a sled so I assume they plan to nab a straggler, throw him on the sled and haul ass back. Clearly it won't go as planned. I did realize who will bring the package back to kings landing. The hound. **** what you heard, Clegane Bowl must happen.

Part of me likes how fast everything is moving because I really am excited to find out what happens and part of me wants it to slow down and develop properly. We are on this path now so let's see where it goes. Definitely had an "Avengers Assemble" moment at the end there.

Only important part of the post.

Jorah for sure.

I don't know how I feel about that. Jorah beating greyscale just to go and die North of the Wall doesn't really make sense to the narrative, but his death would be a bit more "realistic" (for lack of a better term). Plus, Tyrion gave him that coin which kind of sets up that Jorah will be back because he kept his promise to both Tyrion (with the coin) and Dany (with a wight or some kind of proof of the white walkers). I suppose the twist could be that Jorah dies beyond the wall and they bring his body to Dragonstone where he becomes a wight.

Tormund is 100% gone for sure. I don't see how he makes it out of that group. Beric 2nd most likely, followed by Thoros. The Hound has to make it for Cleganebowl.

See I think Jorah is the credibility for Danny to be all in.
Hound needs to fight the mountain.
Tormund needs to die protecting east watch.
Beric and Thoros are on borrowed time.
Gendry needs to meet Arya again and be the future of house Baratheon

Bronn is basically Chuck Norris. We thought we were watching Jaime sink, but we were actually watching Jaime being driven horizontally across the lake at the end of the last episode. The camera angle was clearly meant to deceive us.

All the show had to do was show Jamie and Bronn being carried by a fast moving current shedding their armor to make their escape more believable. That is where this show gets me sometimes. For the show creators to be "writers" the gaps and the smash togethers they fill in are the shows weakness, except I do kind of like Arya taking over LSH activities.
