    The reunions are cool to watch after all this time. Lyanna Mormont is still great. They didn’t quite answer the question about how they were going to feed all these people. Can’t wait for Euron Greyjoy to die.

    Overall kind of a slow, meh start to everything. C-

    Watched it with a bunch of people. One said "I hope they would have resolved more points...", to which I replied "It's the first 'effin show of the season!"

    I agree, but that one scene with the dead kid that came back to life scared the shit out of me.

    Yeah, this one definitely felt like maintenance. They've got a Lot of thread lines to resolve in the last 6 episodes of the season. Pretty sure there will be some pretty epic action by the end though.

    Anybody else feel like the rescue of Yara was a little easy?

    Why would the Night King “send a message” at a location that is now behind his front line? And which of the white walkers is the artsy one who arranged all those body parts?

    This was literally the definition of filler episode. Not an issue if it was a 21 episode season or not the last season. I could have went to bed early and missed nothing if not for obvious spoilers...which were all unrealistic reactions for all said characters.

    Shit, between this, Star Wars and everything else, maybe we have managed to squash creativity entirely and everything is an algorithm now. Oh great we have a hit!! We don’t want to ruin it...ending by committee!

    So, my reaction was an overreaction, but what a shot episode when there are so few left.

    Yes, but in fairness, I wouldn't want any more time spent on that storyline.

    Do they keep a barrel of body parts lying around like Jeffrey Dahmer?

    The white walkers like to create things with body parts. They are weird like that. That's actually how the whole show started:

    GOT S1E01
    [​IMG]

    They've been doing it for ages.

    Loved it.

    Body parts. Nudity. Dragons. Awesome! And shit is going down next episode it seems. This episode sets the stage.

    Jon get's told he is the man. The Neo of this Matrix. But he still knows nothing. Yet, like Naruto, he is the idiot that everyone loves. Specially dragons. Drogon gave him the lets-get-dirty looks, and Rhaegal was going nuts with him as jockey.

    Things to watch out is Saucy Moanister and Salsa Stars. Also, I'm not sure how things are going to go down once Danny finds out she is being riding her nephew better than she does Drogon, and that he is ahead of her as Targaryen Numero Uno, i.e. El Patron.

    We'll see.

    I love those dragons. f**k you Night Pimp, for killing one!

    EDIT: I mean, this was awesome:

    Really? I thought Jon looked like he was about to crap himself the entire time. Contrast that with the scene where the guy from Avatar first flew the mini dragon thing which is what GoT seemed to be riffing on here:


    where it actually looked like he was enjoying himself after the initial omg i’m gonna die moment passed, and he was computer animation.

    So little actually happened that it was pretty anticlimactic given how long it’s been and how few episodes there are in this season. Maybe they knew nothing could live up to the hype and gave us this episode as a sacrificial lamb, and things actually happen starting with the next one.

    I equate it to an old western where all the different factions ride into town before the big shootout.

    There has never been a time that Jon, Danny, Tyrion, Sansa, Arya, Jaime, Jorah, Bran, Varys, Davos, The Hound, Grey Worm, Gendry, Missandei (and that's not a complete list - and Bronn appears to be on his way) have all been under one roof.

    One little spark added to the mix and...

    I forgot about this! That opening sequence was scary as shit.

    I think it was this guy who made the spiral:
