The Actor, Kevin Eldon - again? A bit careless using a well-known face in two different roles.

IMDb has him credited as the same character, Camello. So I guess he gave up the acting after all that debacle with people trying to get each other knocked off, and went with the safer profession of soldiering.

When he saw Tyrion he should have said "you look a bit like someone I used to work with".

Actually - that would have been deadly!

Jon Snow brings back a live "wight" which is a case of another massively high-risk maneouvre.

A bit odd how everyone in Dany's council immediately agreed this was the way to go. I'm wondering how this will work in practice. Will they throw a net over one, stick it in a box and drag it south? What happens if it 'dies' en route?

Treasonous? She's an invader. It wasn't normal in medieval and ancient times to execute nobles, exile was far more common. Dany is Stalin.

An invader who has a claim on the throne by birth. As for exiling treasonous lords instead of executing them, you should probably read up on the wars of the roses (on which GRRM has said he's based his books). There were executions aplenty during that period.

Its a pity the books weren't finished when the series started. That way, they could have avoided all the filler in previous seasons and the need to rush now.

I think it was always going to be hard for that episode after last week.

Glad to see Sam leave the Citadel. Was getting tired of that story line. Wouldn't mind seeing the White Walkers get hold of him and Gilly.

As for the magical teleportation, I'd prefer that to the long drawn out travel sequences which often went nowhere of previous seasons. We know the characters now. There's no need for backstory.

Drogon knows lads, Drogon F**king Knows!!!

That scene gave me the feels. Didn't like how the scene with Gilly revealing the annulment of Rhaegars marriage was glossed over and how the hell she wouldn't just pick out Lyanna Starks name. They better revisit that script or I'll be rightly pissed. Couldn't care about the fast traveling. Nice to see them moving the story along. They have no choice, they've only two episodes left.

This bit gets 7 thumbs up from me. The more gruesome the death, the better...

Not gonna happen.

At least she's stopped crucifying people.

Well it proves that the information has been recorded so I'd imagine it will get out.

More's the pity. Old Tarly was right - he and Dickon gave more entertainment in a few episodes than poor Sam has in a few seasons.

Littlefinger must be on borrowed time though. Met him a couple of weeks ago in Ikea - a Hollywood actor isn't shopping there unless he's out of work!

He may have been looking for this:

A classic design that suits all kinds of dinnerware and all types of occasions,
the DRAGON cutlery series is sure to be a frequent guest at your table. And

Very fast yes however I can imagine a few bits that people are harking on to see, we will be here for 10 years if you want to see all that.

My fav bit was the reference to social media about Gendry still rowing his boat.

jcd5971 · 14-08-2017 04:20PM

Danny could easily end up being the bug villain, she's roasting people now ala the mad king

Lets not forget she has been cruel before, burning unsullied master and killing all masters in astapor.

Not to mention the qarth king and her handmaiden she locked them both to die in a room with no way out. Harsh

There is definitely potential for it anyway.

Also remember as old fat ass grr said himself got will end bittersweet

Only one way to find out. Other than spies of course.

Jamie and Bronn are extremely good at holding their breath

Maybe he contacted Bronn but it wasn't shown?

Varys of course. Unless were now to assume he is now completely redundant.

Excellent nod to the fans here.

Ser Davos to Gendry,'Thought you might still be rowing'

And yes, Liam is getting some very good lines. Second week in a row a line aimed at the fans.

Well he survived falling into deep water with his hands bound himself so naturally he assumed...

SureYWouldntYa · 14-08-2017 07:21PM

I'm not really one to question things too much, but if the armour was so heavy that Jaime couldn't swim himself how was Bronn able to drag him the whole way across that pond

Also why didn't Daenerys go looking for him after to take him as a prisoner of war? He'd be a serious bargaining tool with Cersei

Gendry, who was shaping up to be a really important character disappeared from the Series, last seen rowing a boat. There were fan images of him and other characters on SS something Something that had disappeared for a while.

RE Liam, last week's 'fewer' remark was for the audience and not for the benefit of the person he was talking to. Too much is not a good thing, but at least they are breaking the 4th wall with the same character, and not everybody is doing it.

When last seen, Gendry was escaping the clutches of Melisandre and Stannis in a boat supplied by Davos

Jamie's redemption arc makes literally zero sense at this point. He's willing to die on this hill with Cersei even though he knows it's a sinking ship. She did the thing he killed the mad king for and they don't even discuss it. He makes absolutely no sense as a character anymore. I wouldn't even miss him if he'd been killed off in the last episode (which by rights he and Bronn should have). And him and Cersei babbling about "what father would have done" is laughable considering "father" would have knocked the both of them on their arses over their activities together. The only high point to their interactions at this point is that Lena Headey is a terrific actress.

The Arya and Littlefinger thing has the potential to be good and earlier in the series it probably would have played out over a season and would have been more compelling that way, but because they've left it so bloody late to get things properly moving, it's being rushed.

willmunny1990 · 14-08-2017 07:41PM

Whats the reason for only seven episodes in the last two seasons anyway?

It definitely feels rushed.

She has been cruel before but to people who deserved it.

I thought the scene with the Lannister army showed she has changed since she freed the unsullied. The interpreter girl made a passionate speech to Jon Snow & Ser Davos in an earlier episode about how all those who sailed with her chose to sail with her and they were not slaves.

She treated the Lannister army so differently. She did not give them an option.
