GoT - warning spoilers

Bronn turning up out of nowhere and then disappearing again... have all the guards at Winterfell been killed?

Also, there's a strong chance that Bronn may be the last of the Reynes. Supposedly wiped out by the Lannisters. (ref: The Rains of Castamere song).
If so, I don't expect any of the Lannisters to survive the ending.
 
Bronn in the show is a great character, and the interaction between firstly him and Tyrion, and then with Jaime over all the series has been great. Thought the scene with the three of them in the latest episode was a bit of a let down. Hope he gets more screen time in the remaining episodes.
 
The “Coffee Cup” that’s now been digitally removed was apparently worth $2.8Billion to Starbucks in free advertising.
Not doubting the figure, but how all of it is worked out is beyond me.:eek:

Indeed. I found it magnificent but also hugely disappointing in equal measure!

I see what you mean, but I think if you look at by taking all previous seasons into account especially season 1, you can see the context of why what happened came about and makes for an interesting end

Yes I agree, but was also looking at it from the long build up that we've had, especially over the last few seasons, that it all felt too rushed and some of the characters perhaps didn't go out as they should've done. Amazing viewing nonetheless.

But it is set up incredibly for next week and we still have no idea how its all going to play out!

I don't disagree with you at all, the only thing is to write all characters out that would satisfy everyone would mean a much longer season or perhaps even another one and it has to conclude somehow. There'll be many that are happy with what's gone on but despite the rushed feeling I like how this is coming to an end its almost like it's going full circle.

Totally agree. Given how huge the show has become I was a bit surprised that they decided to end it after this season; and with fewer episodes then previous ones. Perhaps a couple of more episodes then ending with a 2 hour feature may have been better. But they're certainly going out in style - got to the end of this mornings episode and was like 'What? That cannot be the end of this one already?'!!! :cry::D

Wow, was blown away by this episode. Have to put aside any overall plot/character issues this time and just admire that for what it was, epic cinematography, brutal combat and terror with a lot of tension still created amidst the destruction. Compelling viewing imo.
Wasn't rushed this week either, focussed on one thing only - the siege of Kings Landing.

Jon and Arya and Tyrion have morals captured very well in this episode, Dany doesn't, just rage. Some touching moments squeezed in too.

True colours coming out from the Mad Queen! Not fit to rule. Makes great tv though!;)


Is The Mountain going to dust himself off despite being run through (torso and head) and falling 500 feet and lying under thousands of tonnes of Red Keep rubble?:eek:
 
Umm well it was certainly spectacular that’s for sure but it just felt wrong , didnt feel the right way for the war to happen , expected carnage but that went way and above . Well they have certainly made her the mad queen and now it’s the fight against her
 
Huge episode. Fabulous tension at the beginning. Wonderful from Tyrion throughout , the angst and then particularly with Jamie.

Sad to see Varys go but it was inevitable. His partnership with Tyrion has been lovely to watch.

Then the battle, the quiet and the dragon at its finest. Dany lost it, total carnage.

Good death for the Hound although that fight got a little silly.

I felt cheated by the death of Cersei. She should have been killed by someone, not rubble. They missed a trick there.

Arya to kill Dany next week? I think so.

One more week to go for my man. Go on Tyrion, make it all the way.
 
Thought the use of music, quiet, sound in effect, was superb in this episode. I don't know what job title the sound person would have but they excelled. All very haunting.

Cersei needed a better murdering than that!

She died knowing she had played a part in destroying the world she wanted to rule with her unborn child by her side. She was truly and utterly broken. It’s almost humane that she got to spend her last moments with her one true romantic love and their unborn child.

A superb ending for them both.
 
That was nigh on TV perfection. Every death fitting, the descent of the Mad Queen into exactly what she was born to be, Aegon’s realisation that he should never have trusted her, the Hound v Mountain which we all know from day one would end with the Mountain killed by fire but not before the blood curdling attempt by the elder brother to cave his sibling’s head in, Varys dying because he alone looked past his own interests to try to save the world, Grey Worm utterly rent by his loss losing control of his emotions for the first time in battle, the complete devastation of a city that never falls, Qiburn thrown down like an insignificant pest, Arya’s grasping for humanity as everything and everyone around her burns...

And everything I’ve missed in this post. It was a tour de force of story telling and visual splendour. Wow. Simply wow.
