Ugh. What is the point if it is going to leak two days before it airs? Does the original leaker feel cool or something for doing so?

I haven't seen it, but apparently it's very low quality and has "for internal use" watermarks all over it. Sounds like an HBO employee.

That's exactly it. We live in such a weird culture right now where people need to "win" at everything. I recently heard a podcast where one of the hosts basically said, "movies and tv shows aren't Escape The Room." There aren't points for being first to know. These are puzzles to solve. There are no medals to hand out. It's so goddamn stupid to me.

I'm thinking Jon has to take an L at the hands of Cersei soon. Either the Lannister's take Eastwatch or someone captures Arya. Something has to set up a quid pro quo situation between Jon and Dany where he agrees to help her fight Cersei if she then agrees to help fight the army of the dead.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That doesn't make sense. Why would the Lannister's take Eastwatch? Jon will not/should not worry about Cersei as long as he's got the white walkers to worry about.

The Lannisters are stylish as fuck. Their armor and costumes are top notch.

Jaime's battle armor is the type of shit I'd grind for hours in an RPG to get. And the black outfits are super clean indeed.

I guess if he's so far gone that he no longer cares about his family, I can see him randomly spouting shit like that.

I think it was meant to show the disassociation that happens from seeing all of time ala Dr. Manhattan, not necessarily that he's a weirdo. At least in a worse way than that already suggests.

Don't you think all of Littlefinger and Sansa's talk of "you don't know Cersei like I do" is setting something up? I understand the white walkers are the bigger threat but if no one else believes in them and Jon has no allies, why wouldn't they attack him if they view him as an enemy for not bending the knee?

It's probably setting up something. Not sure what they could do, but the teleporting Greyjoys can probably make trouble.

The Lannister's are not getting north of Moat Cailin.

Ha, I thought the same thing the other night. "I wonder what his armor stats are."

Westeros is big (like South America)and Cersei has a lot of things to worry about in the south. I'm sure Littlefinger has some scheme, and hard to place Sansa in all that. However, when you are surrounded by enemies, you don't go find someone who is not attacking you. And in the north everything will go bad, if they don't keep focusing on the real problem from further north.
