Have to rewatch but was Walter Frey even on Arya's list?
Not that it matters just keep doing what you do Arya

Yep one of the first. I wonder if she'll get cersei and the mountain.

 

[Einchy]

You guys think this finally where Jaime draws the line? Cersei just murdered her relatives and indirectly killed her son.

That look he gave her seems like he is disgusted and scared of what she has become.

 

[Gray Matter]

That tommen gif is gonna get a lot of use in the future.

Flawless episode outside of the Arya stuff.

Late comers to the show will be pissed it got spoiled for them if/when they see it.

 

[Galang]

Definitely my favourite back to back episodes. Could have been a three episode streak, but I hated that they made Arya get stabbed for no reason. The payoff was so worth it on the flipside as I was completely off guard with Walder Frey's scene. Didn't think she could still do that. I need to rewatch that scene pronto

yeah, I am pretty sure queenslayer is in his future

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

So apparently someone on the Straight Dope message board had leaked the entire end-of-season plot weeks ago, including Arya's pies and murder

[CrocMother]

was thinking a couple episodes ago that natalie dormer seemed way underused for the last season or two and i guess that makes more sense now

They pretty much had to invent things for her to do this season. They teased that she might have some more meaning to the plot to keep her somewhat interesting but in the end Marg was done the second she got thrown in that cell.

 

[RDreamer]

idk, but it seemed very deliberate that jon told her to ride south, and not just gtfo

Melisandre said she'd meet Arya again. Arya is south right now.

 

[Gleethor]

Probably already discussed, but they didn't light all of the wildfire that was supposedly under KL. There were allegedly caches under the red keep and elsewhere in the city. Maybe if/when the walkers overrun KL, team living activates their trap card?

 

[PhazonBlazer]

The fucking soundtrack for the first part of the episode

 

[BronzeWolf]

20 yers waiting for this... and it's happened. An amazing episode.

Team Lyanna Mormont

[VaultBoy101]

RIP Margaery, a character I thought would end up playing a more important role in the overall scheme of things. Victim of The Green Trial.

 

[Calm Mind]

Cersei put in dat work....

I love you for this.

 

[DangerMouse]

Maybe. But I can see her risking coming back to warn Jon of something she sees in the flames, be it a Littlefinger plot or the Night King hitting the The Wall.

You know, I could see this. We had that whole scene where Melisandre was seemingly reflecting on her failures, so I could see her "surprisingly" taking getting thrown out the right way in the end.

Pycelle's prostitute will never get paid now.

 

[jack_package_200]

They need to release the soundtrack for this episode

 

[IJoel]

Stolen from tumblr:

Amazing. It bears repeating: the casting for this show is truly special.

 

[Z_Y]

No stands in Mad Queen's way. No one.

She even killed her own uncle, she gives no fucks.

God damnit. Jamie is going to kill her too, isn't he?

King/Queenslayer

 

[Sushigod7]

That look he gave her seems like he is disgusted and scared of what she has become.

Yup straight up "its her or me now" at least thats how I took it she will stop at nothing

 

[GreyWind]

:'(

 

[univariate]

That was really magnificent. It was everything I wanted and more (Arya). I wish there was more Bran, though.

I'm looking forward to Arya's next stop.


Also: Jon and Daenerys will rule Westerns next season.

 

[On Demand]

A good read for those that need a refresh on the whole Rhaegar Targaryen, John Snow, Ned Stark, Lyanna Stark mix up

[Respect]

Damn, best episode ever...chills.

 

[Obliterator]

BTW someone needs to win an award for Cersie's dress. That was one of the most legit badass pieces of wardrobe I've seen in a minute

 

[zsynqx]

This is the best r+l=j explanation imo.

Plus Alt Shift X is just awesome. (potential book spoilers in his videos)

 

[Einchy]

I thought the theory that Meera Reed was Jon's sister would be true but I guess not. I ship Meera and Bran again and this time it's incest free.

 

[Ridli]

Yeah, Darth Cersi looked pretty boss.

 

[TheOctodad]

Any chance somehow Brianne will duke it out with the mountain to assist Jamie? 2 for 2 on the Cleganes?

 

[Amagon]

That Lyanna Mormont actress really was the best part for me this season.

 

[Vestal]

BTW.

The whole King of the North scene HOLY FUCK so well acted, directed and shot. Loved the cuts to LF face when he saw that shit was going south for his plans. Jons facial expressions along with Sansas were FANTASTIC. That music MY GOD THE CHILLS!!!

 

[ComputerBlue]

My new Avatar tomorrow when those across the pond are caught up.

 

[DangerMouse]

That Lyanna Mormont moment, soo good.

Yeah, Darth Cersi looked pretty boss.

Haha

 

[poppabk]

So why did Ned's sister whisper the name? Do we know what she said? We know who we think is the father, they jump straight to Jon from the baby, she is presumably the mother. So what is their to hide? Just makes me wonder if Jon's parentage is still up in the air.

 

[Volimar]

Varys can go to Dorne and back, Jaime can get to King's Landing after feasting with Frey, but Brienne still hasn't made it back to Winterfell.

Also, I wonder if Arya will try to free Edmure.

It was done for pure impact for the 6 people who hadn't already pieced it together.

 

[DrBo42]

So is it called A Song of Ice and Fire because it's Jon's story with his Stark/Targaryen bloodline or is it a story of Jon and Daenerys?

 

[Horse Detective]

So, we will never know what Margery's rose was?

 

[tootsi666]

That look Jaime gives to Cersei...

I need season 7

This episode really is one of the best hours of television I have ever seen.

 

[arts&crafts]

maybe its recency bias, but those last 2 episodes were the best ever.

Also the soundtrack was way better this episode than the rest.

 

[Wagram]

Liam Cunningham deserves a nod for his acting during the table scene.

 

[Elysium-777]

Probably already discussed, but they didn't light all of the wildfire that was supposedly under KL. There were allegedly caches under the red keep and elsewhere in the city. Maybe if/when the walkers overrun KL, team living activates their trap card?

I assume she only used what was already under the Sept. Assuming they decide to have Jaime be the one to kill Cersei, I can see her trying to destroy King's Landing once she sees Dany's entire army coming down on her. Prompting Jaime to become a King/Queen/Kinslayer.

 

[BlackGhost]

Our girl was aware of everything the whole time though :"/ she smart! *cries

 

[Einchy]

So, we will never know what Margery's rose was?

It was her telling her grandmother that she hadn't been converted.

 

[Respect]

Arya is the GOAT.
Jon KING IN THE NORTH isn't a bastard (how is he going to find out???)
Lady Mormont is bad ass.
Dorne + Dany + Tyrell...shits about to get real.

But I still don't care about Sam and Gilly...I'm sure he'll have some crucial informationa bout the white walkers...but I can't get interested in this sub-plot.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I've come to like Jaime this season

 

[Ridli]

She was dying. It was more dramatic for her to whisper the secret of Jon's parentage while on her deathbed then to speak it outloud. The cut from baby to Jon was the direct confirmation.

 

[Calm Mind]

My new Avatar tomorrow when those across the pond are caught up.

Best post. BEST POST

 

[Salty Catfish]

So, we will never know what Margery's rose was?

That was just her saying "I'm still with you" and that the religious fervor was a sham.

But in typical GoT fashion, the expected result was subverted. Boom.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Get this director to direct every episode from here on out, I don't give a shit how much it costs.

It's not so much the cost, as there literally isn't enough time for him to do so. The episodes are mostly directly and produced simultaneously.

 

[Hopeford]

Jon KING IN THE NORTH isn't a bastard (how is he going to find out???)
Lady Mormont is bad ass.

Betting on Dany being like "This is my kingdom I'm gonna burn you with my dragons."

[Jon is still standing after the fire]

"Well. This is awkward."
