Harry

I just thought he had to try it since she was there for the taking...

Now that's what I'm talking about! Loved every second of that episode. Absolutely amazing.

This guy absolutely perfectly nails this Australian stereotype. Love him!

PSG should give Neymar to charity. He could wipe out world hunger.

Yep and because the movement needs publicity to succeed.

Tarlys turn is at odds with his book self but i guess i can accept that the 1 minute of show air time he'd got before dumping on the tyrrels graves was not enough to establish him as that same persona.

Yeah let's not forget why jamie killed aerys in the first place... he was going to blow up the stash of wildfire under kings landing rather than let himself be taken down. Then cersei did exactly that and jamie is still banging her?

She is very clearly portrayed as a novice player in the books. Almost pitied by most players such is her predictability. I.e. tyrion, baelish and varys. Good example being the near catastrophic error of judgement to arm the faith in kings landing in book 4. Or her determination to take down their main ally in the tyrells creating an unnecessary war that ultimately destroyed her legacy and leaves the throne without an heir.

Is that where Riverrun is under siege by the Freys and Jamie convinces the blackfish/edmuir to give up the castle? Not sure that's genius but fair point that he's more considered as less temperamental as time wears on.

It was Baelish and Olenna together who planned it and planned to help sansa to escape. In the books the poison was in a stone Sansa wore in her hair and Olenna took it from her hair and put it in the drink. Margaery may also have been in on it. Unsure whether there were two separate plots and whether the Tyrrels wanted Sansa to take the fall for it but baelish got her out of there....

did anyone have any thoughts on why Melissandre and Varys both have to die in Westeros?

when i calm down i will post on reflection of the more positive elements from the episode.

.......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.

RIP Les Murray. Legendary figure in Australian football folklore.

An incredibly unlikely reunion that ultimately comes to nothing.... i was hopeful of her charging back into winterfell head of a literal pack of wolves....

I thought the unsullied were completely lacking in the hardware required to partake? Was that a body double or the body of the real actress of missandei. I hope the latter. Euron the beast demon taking out everyone was a stretch. Things are getting more fanciful as we go. Especially if Sam heals sir Jorah. Marwyn is quite different from the books imo. Jon strangling baelish before leaving him with Sansa was a true dumb move typical of house stark. Fuck sake man learn from your mistakes. Dany definitely becoming less likeable by the day.

Not sure i buy jim broadbent as Marwyn.... he's not what i imagined marwyn would be....

She's 20. Was 13 when the show started.

ironically we know them as prawns. That phrase came from a crocodile dundee led tourism commercial to make Australia more relatable for Americans...

He'll be dead next episode.

I felt certain at the time that his gift was tyrions head. But now i think it is some kind of dragon horn.

Liked the episode. Loving that Sandor seems to have a big role to play going forwards. Disappointed that Oldtown is being rushed. It feels like Sam will be on a boat back up to the wall within the hour. Ffs slow down guys! Crows Eye was interesting for the first time today. Dany was ok. Cheesy but i liked seeing dragonstone. Bran was the worst. Fuck sake man do something already.

Its 11.30am here and i know a few people calling in sick because of it.

We call them parmas mate. You cover the schnitty in napoli sauce then a slice of ham and then a slice of tasty cheese. Best eaten with fries and a token salad.
