He also runs into a heavily greyscaled Jorah, setting up Jon and Dany’s inevitable meeting in the next couple of episodes. The Hound’s feeling remorse about his actions here, but gazes into the fire and finds R’hllor.īack to Sam, who finds out that Dragonstone is named quite literally. Thoros and Sandor Clegane are the next GoT pairing in line for a buddy cop spinoff as they find the house that the Hound and Arya visited in like Season 4 that nobody remembered save that excellent recap at the top of the show. Anyway, Arya has the murder eyes for them but they start talking about their wives, children and dads so she lets them off the hook this time. I did appreciate the song, though, which a singer wrote about Tyrion and She in the books, before Tyrion has the singer cooked into a bowl of Flea Bottom Brown. Arya hangs out with a bunch of Lannister soldiers and Ed Sheeran (though I had to google Ed Sheeran because I have no idea who that is). Tormund still has a thing for Brienne, which is awesome Littlefinger still has a thing for Sansa, which is creepy. While Jim Broadbent believes Sam’s warnings about the White Walkers, he seems unconcerned and won’t let Sam into the Restricted Section, presumably because he doesn’t have one thing: Archmaester Butterman Then he’s hanging with Jim Broadbent as Archmaester Ebrose (thanks IMDB) and looking to get access to the Restricted Section because Madam Pince won’t let him back there and he’s fresh out of Invisibility Cloaks. Meanwhile, down in Oldtown, SAM GETS A MONTAGE!! Yeah, it’s a montage of serving slop and picking up poop without any music, but hey, a montage is a montage. Plus, he promises to bring her a priceless gift, and we all breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t drop his pants to show her his “big c-k.” Euron proposes to Cersei, revealing all he’s ever wanted in life was to marry the “most beautiful woman in the world” because he’s really a softie on the inside and not a murderous pirate. It’s literally just the two of us against the rest of the kingdoms.” But in true Mad Queen style, she’s making alliances with the most unstable of creatures in Euron Greyjoy (who, apparently found enough wood on the Iron Islands to build his thousand ships). Cersei thinks that the 7 Kingdoms are hers and Jaime’s to take, but Jaime responds with, “Cersei, I don’t think you understand. Sansa wants her brother cousin to take her ideas seriously and heed her council while Jon just wants his sister cousin to love him.Ĭersei and Jaime hang out on the surface of a giant map of Westeros because Cersei can’t be outdone by Aegon and his painted table. (yes, I’m being tongue-in-cheek here.)įor the first time since making her debut last season, Lyanna Mormont manages to not steal an entire scene but still manages to destroy Robett Glover in the process while Jon and Sansa bicker like brother and sister cousins who know each other really well. I guess Bran’s Three-Eyed Ravenness allows him to see that Jon isn’t part of the Night’s Watch anymore, because Edd just lets them in without even an “oh hey you’re Jon’s brother cousin I was like his best friend outside of Sam.” But this is the penultimate season and we don’t have time for it, so off we go. Dolorous Edd completely forgets that Bran Stark is Jon’s brother cousin. Then there’s the Night King and his Army of the Dead and omgomgomgomg he has giant wights too we are so screwed.īran shows up at the front doorstep of the Wall peddling Trail’s End Popcorn.

More on it below.įor the first time, the Credits don’t feature any cities from Essos (because of course they wouldn’t). For all of the crap that the show has dumped on Arya over six seasons, this was some satisfying revenge. So, let’s take a break from Media Days and talk about it.Īrya hosts a dinner party and holy crap is it spectacular. After well over a year, Game of Thrones is back. But, Kendall asked me to do them again this year as main posts, so here we go.

If you remember, last year I did Game of Thrones reviews as fanposts, in part because we were under brand new management and some pretty intense stuff was happening, so I didn’t want to upset the apple cart.
