Careful, we're almost certainly going to get the Knights of the Vale coming in Ride-of-the-Rohirrim style at Winterfell.

Is it me, or was that the worst episode of the entire series?

Suddenly the masters show up to reclaim the slaves, and Dany just literally swoops in to add some dramatic effect that falls short?

Blackfish was acting this strong, noble man and we don't even see his fight to the death?

Let's not forget the 5 minute action/chase scene through the streets of Bravos leading up to the overdone rolling down the stairs scene (see, Battleship Potemkin, Brazil, the Untouchables)

I wish they weren't burning through this narrative so quick
As burn turned to tan.

I really enjoyed Jaime's scenes tonight.

I'm not convinced the Blackfish is dead.

Oh, and Sandor with the Brotherhood:

Had me on the edge of my seat. It was like they were dangling a Lady Stoneheart reveal right in front of me.

There were a lot of clues, man. Let's take it to the book thread!

Sure looks like next week will only cover the battle for Winterfell.

Y'know, I thought that Lem Lemoncloak was acting un-Brotherhoodly killing at the sept...

Yeah I might have been a bit premature getting pissed at the show for depicting the Brotherhood like that.

Tonight's scene with Tyrion and Greyworm/Missandei telling jokes was awful. I wanted to fast forward through it.

It really was. I did really like the Bron/Pod scene though.

Agreed. I wanted to see the Arya/Waif faceoff but it made so much more sense character-wise for her to do it that way.

I'm still not sure how both her legs didn't break on that fall.

What if the Blackfish becomes Stoneheart? It probably won't happen, but everyone will be in the right place if the Blackfish comes floating by.

I don't get why I've seen people here and reviews mentioning something along the lines of this episode being a snoozer

I should re-watch when I can focus on the story better; my mind was still on what happened in Orlando.
Arya's chase scene at the end reminded me of Terminator 2. To be honest I have not done well following her storyline in particular the past season or two.
