Technically he's there to become the new maestor of castle black.

Varys went from Dorne to Mereen in about 12 minutes. Tripped me up watching the last season finale right before the new episode aired because I had forgotten about the weird continuity that implies. There's Varys, chilling with the sand snakes, and then, whoosh, he's out sailing with Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, The First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khalisee of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons. Apparently he has a speedboat stashed away somewhere with all the trips back and forth he's taking.

I'm confused as why King's Landing still shows the Baratheon banner, are they somehow still counting Gendry???
this is amazing, thanks
this is amazing, thanks
He said that he's there to find information about The White Wakers, it's not like he has years to train to one day be allowed to get the restricted book. He needs to get the info as soon as possible I mean, he can stay there once he finds what he needs and actually become a maestro like he wants but the WW are the priority. He is even risking getting throw out just for the info.

Well, Cersei is Robert's wife. Isn't she technically a Baratheon by marriage?
I assume that since Cersei is Robert Baratheon's widow, the crown is still technically under the Baratheon banner?

If it's highly contagious, shouldn't he be in a cell where he can't reach out and grab the trolley boy on a whim? "Why do all our staff keep coming down with greyscale?"

Sam's doing what it takes. He's risking his dream of becoming a Maester for the good of Westeros. I can't wait to see what things do and don't go well for him there, and of course how Jorah factors in.

When they were crowning her at the end of season six did they say lannister or baratheon for her last name?
Atomic Playboy

But she's introduced as "Cersei of the House Lannister, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms" during her coronation. Thinking it's time to replace the banners.
Nah. He got tired and turned right back around. Tyrion's going to find him hiding in some Dragonstone cupboard.but Gendry spent 4 seasons paddling

Any chance Jorah's stone disease becomes a type of armor against the white walkers?
Why are these unlisted?
Big risk that someone could have found these a few days ago going by the upload dates.
Are they going to trickle these out over the week to try and maintain viewer retention rather than putting it all up at once like they used to?
That makes sense. But in the show, they replaced some of the decorations to reflect Lannister leadership. The title sequence doesn't really matter. I mean how often do shows change their opening sequence outside of animes?

Im disappointed they didnt show Jon/Bran reunion

This show does, almost every episode.
The opening even had winterfell in ruins and then with Bolton insignia then back to stark all last season.
I never noticed.

Jon is about 500 miles south of the wall. Bran just arrived at the walls gate.
It'll happen soon.
Winterfell was shown to be smouldering in the intro over Season 3, and a Bolton sigil replaced the Stark one when they moved in.
A Stark sigil replaced the Bolton one the immediate episode after the Battle of the Bastards.
Also you should look up Fringe, that had so many intros that changed by the season, some by the episode.
Stannis left it when he went north.
It's on a tiny little island in the middle of nowhere. People got better shit to do.
Not completely no, but they can do better. Showing people arriving at their destinations instead of having them just appear later, etc.

Haranhall is a very strategic point in the riverlands. It was occupied by robb, Bolton and tywin at points during the war. But I can almost guarantee it's currently empty. They don't use it til they need it.

I mean, it's not that hard to believe. We have tons of abandoned places here on Earth that you figure someone would occupy, but they just don't for whatever reason. And if you're going to squat somewhere, you probably don't want a castle. Do you have any idea of the heating bills you'd incur to keep from freezing to death in that uncomfortable mass of obsidian? Better show up with a sleeping bag and 40 trees so you can keep the fires lit for a single night. But I did find it amusing that they didn't even bother to lock the door. I was really expecting Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, The First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khalisee of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons to try to open the door only to find it locked. Maybe that's why Stannis died in battle; he couldn't focus because he was too busy thinking "I did lock up the castle, right?"

Odd thing that nearly took me out of it was her just walking in front of everyone. Like you have two good Lannister archers just waiting there, and boom the Queen is dead.. :\
^ I get all that. But literally no one. Not a soul. It just seems weird.
There must be people on the island. Maybe just not in the castle.

I thought the same. And the Lannisters knew she'd be coming there.
Maybe there were and the dragons ate them.
You guys would ruin the show.
Okay, Dany finally got to Westeros, this is the moment everyone has been waiting for but first lets send a shit ton of troops to make sure no one is there, so she has to wait a few hours on the boat. Oh shit, there was people in there, now they have to kill those people, a day later and she can finally come out. But just incase there might be people hiding, she has to walk behind her troops.
Now it's episode 7, the season over and she hasn't even gotten to the castle.

Yep, it was just silly. A two minute confrontation with Stannis/Lannister remnants would have been enough. But I guess they went for the more emotional portrayal over realistic, since we've been waiting for this moment for years.
I mean whoever confronted them would be dead pretty quickly. It makes more sense to abandon the castle in the face of overwhelming odds. They had no way of knowing that Dany would go ahead of her guards instead of letting them secure the castle for her.
Why would a Stannis skeleton crew still be holding the place after Stannis was killed probably over a year ago at this point and there's an army with three dragons about to descend upon the place? If there was a small guard still watching over the place, they probably would have abandoned it after Stannis fell and would have especially gotten out of town the moment they heard Danny was coming

The thing that took me out of it was when it ended. I'm used to binging this show. Now I have to wait a week??

Also, what's Dany and her million troops supposed to eat. Can they even all fit onto the island.
The Wire changed intros every season as well.

I wonder how will the Lannister fight the dragon. Or how the Greyjoys will fight the dragons.
Gotta imagine that the dothraki are garrisoning on the mainland.

By confrontation I mean,
Guards:...are those your dragons???
Dany: Yes.
Guards: WE'RE NOT WORTHY
Doesnt have to be a fight.
When Sam realised Stannis told him about the dragonglass / obsidian, it was in this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uo7dwbteFE
At the time it went completely over my head, I assumed they had, like, trinkets made of it here and there, not a whole mine! I can only assume that the mine was abandoned long before Stannis arrived and so he didn't know about it either.

I kind of think Euron's gift might end up being the head of a dragon. That way he can prove to Cersei that his fleet is worth their value.
That ironborn fleet will make a lovely constellation of smoldering shipwrecks.
