What a season opener. Loved the start.

Except Brienne, God I hope she dies. Been waiting several years like the blokes in Hot Tub Time Machine (waiting to see the dude lose his arm). Got a bad feeling she'll survive the whole shebang which would be a huge downer.

Why her? The sexual chemistry between her and the wilding is hilarious

Tormund is funny, always has been, she's just annoyed me from when she first appeared as Renly's knight.

Speaking of Tormund, the initial video the actor sent the studio that got them interested, was pretty funny

dont be like that

I felt like this episode was slightly rushed. I think we are already seeing the effect of the shortened season. I feel like this battle would have been built up over an episode or two rather than half an episode.

Well, if he becomes immune to the touch of grayscale, he's probably the only one who could safely return to Old Valyrie

I just read the fan theory... Sounds pretty cool actually, and is a massive curve ball...

Or lead an army of Stone Men?

Fair shout about the rushed episode, I'd agree with that.

And thank you Grey Worm (you sly dog) for helping get Missandei's pesky gown off !! :D :D

Apparently they had to reduce the Sandsnakes storyline due to the tight schedule of the chick who plays Nymeria. Certainly think the whole Dornish angle in the show doesn't do justice to what's in the books, but understand why with the time constraints. Oberyn is probably the most important contribution from that way anyway.

Similarly in the books, Euron is a top shelf badass that was developed over a longer period than we've seen in the show. Next episode looks brutal, especially for Ellaria and Tyene once gifted to Cersei.

yeah Euron has sort of came out of nowhere. I guess he is supposed to be the main villain now but compared to how Ramsay and Joffrey were developed it feels very rushed

The sand snakes were meh anyway. Except when they got their baps out

Sandsnakes and Areo Hotah were all good in the books, but I think they were probably destined to be peripheral characters, given how little time they received in the show, and their quick demise.

Interestingly in the books, Aeron has an equally fearsome brother, but not sure he'll play any part in the show given we haven't seen him yet.

The Queen of Thorns was an excellent character and went out in befitting style.

Anyone know who the crew were that picked up Theon? Was it just a surviving remnant of Yara's fleet?
