Just put him on a cargo ship

And the CL place! Wouldn't that be hilarious

@Harry I can understand your strong opinion, you being a book fan. Personally though I am loving the fast pace.

Yeah a 29 year old for 40 mill was deffo the better deal

I don't remember Varys saying that. It definitely wasn't him. Baelish got the drunk fool Ser Dontos to give Sansa a hairnet to Joff's wedding but one of the jewels in it was deadly poison. Olenna removed it from the hairnet when she played with Sansa's hair and plopped it in Joffrey's wine when nobody was looking. Baelish also encouraged Joffrey to hire the dwarves dressed up as the five kings to make it look more likely that Tyrion would have done it. Varys wasn't involved.

SpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilersSpoilers Sadly, I have to agree at least partially with @Harry on this. I'm trying to ignore stuff that seems unrealistic compared to previous years, such as Euron's omniscience and the fact that the people of King's Landing suddenly seem to worship Cersei and her squad forgetting how she was marched through the streets naked, she blew up the Sept of Baelor, she has no heir, no claim to the throne and she's now making no effort to cover up her incestuous relationship with her brother. If you pick away at these things you just won't enjoy what's a great show and a great story but some things from this mostly good season so far are making it hard. There were loads of good scenes in this one, good dialogue between Jon/Dany/Tyrion/Davos, between Olenna and Jaime, between Jorah and Sam, not so much between Bran and Sansa, but I do have some issues. The way Daenerys and Tyrion are getting absolutely schooled by Cersei and Euron is bullshit. Game of Thrones used to be that the good guys wouldn't just win unrealistically, but between some of Ramsay's omnipotence in the last couple of years and the way this season has gone, they just seem to have made it now that the bad guys will win regardless of what makes sense in the story. How the Lannisters have that many men left after being constantly at war for years makes no sense, but what's worse is Euron. I could accept his victory over Yara and co. last week, but how did his fleet arrive like one hour after the Unsullied to Casterly Rock when, since the Unsullied set off from Dragonstone, Euron has been from King's Landing, to wherever Yara's fleet was, back to King's Landing, then all the way round to Casterly Rock. Also, why the hell was Olenna back at Highgarden? The other thing that bothered me mainly was Bran being all weird with Sansa. I get that he would be scarred and everything by seeing all the past and what's happened to his family and the white walkers and stuff, but he acted normal when he met Benjen so why is he so creepy now and why did he bring up Sansa getting raped to prove that he has seen everything, surely there are less PTSD-inducing ways to secure her trust. The preview for next week showed Brienne swinging a sword at Winterfell so hopefully Bran redeems himself by revealing to Sansa Littlefinger's role in Ned's downfall so that Baelish, who has become an annoying background character with no real power somehow, can finally be dismissed. Not moaning about the whole thing though, I really enjoyed the scenes on Dragonstone even if Daenerys got a bit preachy and Sam's story so far at the Citadel is a highlight, Jim Broadbent has been great as the Archmaester too.

.......SPOILER ALERT...... Good episode? Good writing? You're kidding me. The rise of cersei is the most unplausible plot line in the show to date. The afterthought that is the ironborn are now all powerful? Randall Tarly sides with cersei despite her blowing up his Lords entire family? Wiping the floor with tyrion tactically? I really hope GRRM comes up with something better than this when he finally finishes the books... Bran... initially i thought he might actually do something this episode.... but wait... no.... just a weird sick bastard proving his all seeing knowledge to Sansa by recounting the day of her wedding night to ramsay. Jon Snow and Daenyrys meeting was pretty pointless too for all the hype. Can't believe Jon Snow is so stupid and tactless in trying to get an all important leader to listen to his cause when the stakes are so high. Maybe don't open with "the dead men are coming to kill us all" if uit want to be taken seriously. The outcomes are typically frustrating for the show but every week they are more and more at odds with the reality of westeros they had painted prior to that point.

Still managed to crack one out though

I'll cut you David.
