Drogon is looking huge. Probably been snacking on the slower Dothraki at the back. So good to see Benjen back! I agree, it would seem he's at least partially White Walker - something's going on there, anyway. 
Wow, loved this episode! It didn't pack the emotional punch of Hold the Door, but I still got feels during all the Sam and Gilly scenes. Love Sam's mom and sis, even his little bro isn't the dick his father is. Sam is growing some balls, even though his father tries to keep him down.
The coldhandsIS Benjen Stark reveal was nice. Still confused as to wth Bran is going to do, but I suppose we are supposed to feel confused at this point. Arya watching the play, then talking with the actress was the best though. The levels going on in that conversation were DEEP. And I KNEW she wasn't going full on faceless man! She got too much of a mind of her own to become a mindless killer. But now she's got a whole assassins guild after her, that's no good. That showdown will be interesting, eventually. The Sparrows winning Tommen and Margery over, wow. Irony much? And then Jaime's being sent to help that old murderer Walder Frey fight the Tulleys? I get the feeling that won't go as planned at ALL. Also, possible opening for Lady Stonehearts appearance still possible!! Danny onthe dragon at the end. Damn good special effects with that dragon. I had chills. I want to ride a dragon, too! lol I want to see Tyrion on a dragon, like he dreamed when he was a boy. So excited that things are poised to actually move forward! Overall, really good episode. As usually lately, I already can hardly wait til next week! (P.S, I think the show is actually really doing marvelous, this is one of the best season ever, so far!) 
I can't help but notice the absence of Ironborn in this episode. I guess they'll be stuck building the 1000 ships for Daenerys - for the next few years, what with it being pre-industrial era, them living on a bunch of rocky islands, and their best ships just stolen...
I don't know, but by the look of that Dothraki army and that dragon - and considering the fact, that Khalesi is apparently unaware of their enterprise - they don't have all that much time, before she finds her own fleet and lays waste to Westeros. I can't wait for the last episode of the last season - after the whole story plays out,, in the last scene Euron Greyjoy runs in out of breath and exclaims: "Daenerys Targaryen... :huff: :puff: :gasp:... I brought you... :wheeze: :gasp: :heave: A thousand ships... :pant: :pant: :pant:... F*ck - I'm too late, aren't I?"

And Heartsbane is Valyrian steel... The plot line I'm most interested in is Brienne, all by her lonesome, traipsing through the Riverlands. What, or who, could await her there? Also, Brynden Tully has a Frey army on his doorstep. He can't be fucking around north of the Twins. (How would he even get through the Twins with the Walder there, collecting taxes and making heirs?) I bet the Knights of the Vale might look a tad more shiny and new and helpful to ol' Sansa when (if) Brienne gets back with the bad news...  RE: Game of Thrones Season 6 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

Love Sam's mom and sis, even his little bro isn't the dick his father is. Sam is growing some balls, even though his father tries to keep him down. As did I. This season has been churning out gripping television which I'd be plowing through much more quickly if it were in book form.

Anyone else get the feeling the older actress could have a different level/role within the institution of the faceless men? The waif and the man we see her interact with in her training don't strike me as very strategic. The actress might represent a more senior policy and ruling level of the organization. It could be that they too desire a different result for Arya than that of "faceless minion". We'll see. (May 30, 2016 at 2:50 am)Aroura Wrote: The Sparrows winning Tommen and Margery over, wow.

Could Jaime's bond with Briene and contempt for the head sparrow and his son get him to change allegiance? (Probably not.) (May 30, 2016 at 2:50 am)Aroura Wrote: Danny onthe dragon at the end.

So excited that things are poised to actually move forward! Can Dany ever play a part in a collaboration with the Jon and Tyrion, as well as with more narrowly focused players like Arya or up and coming power Bran? Or must she always be supreme and is that really any obstacle for a fitting resolution to the series? (May 30, 2016 at 2:50 am)Aroura Wrote: Overall, really good episode. As usually lately, I already can hardly wait til next week! The best by far and at least partially because we've all been waiting for any progress in the storylines beyond where were left by the books. 
Sam now has a Valyrian steel sword - second in the Night's Watch? He needs to scamper back up to the wall with that thing, not go to Oldtown and become a maester.
Arya is gonna skewer that girl. She's going to come try to kill Arya and Arya is going to stitch her up proper with her needle  Wonder what's going to happen to her now that she's probably leaving the House of Black and White...Dany found Drogon, now the other dragons can FINALLY be released! About damned time! Margaery is one smart cookie. She's playing the game of thrones like she was born to it. Don't know if she was the one to convince Tommen to take to the Faith Miliant or if it was all the doing of the High Sparrow. He's such an asshole. He needs to be killed. Jaime has been sent away? Too bad for him. Cersei is definitely too big for her breeches, something bad is going to happen to her for sure. She's far too arrogant for her own good. The Cold Hands is new to me, as a non-book-reader (who is still reading the books) so no comment there. Want more Jon and Sansa. Want more Brienne. Want more Tyrion.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
