Over here the episodes air at 3am, so I usually watch Monday evening after work. Do you watch when it airs?

This is basically the only series I watch live.

I watched an analysis of the Comic Con trailer and it turns out it's even more spoilerly than I thought; but it gets me even more excited for the next few episodes, especially after being lukewarm on the first one.

The pacing of this episode seems off.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Way too much screen time spent on skin flaying.
I would complain about the Grey Worm sex(?) Scene but it featured Missandei naked so I'm ok with it.

It was. But I'm glad it was included for the above reasons.

It's not really a big reveal if it was first mentioned 5 minutes before, is it?

This is twice this season they've treated known, common information as a reveal. The first being the obsidian on Dragonstone.

I don't really count this as a reveal. The dragonglass reveal was dumb though.

Liked the Nymeria scene. I would have rolled my eyes hard if Nymeria just dropped everything and went along with her.

I fucking HATE Theon so much. He's been beyond redemption for me since he let Ramsey do that to Sansa. Now? I just need him to die.

You know if his death was definitive it might have worked, as he gave himself to the Drowned God.

In the throne room when asked what they were gonna do about dragons instead of saying the mad scientist has a plan, they should have just said "Scorpions. We're going to use scorpions. This is a martial, medieval society so we have plenty already."
