QUOTE(mALX @ Jun 20 2016, 05:25 AM)  Dany obviously loves women; and I have been wondering all along if when she and Yara Greyjoy met whether there would be any chemistry between them - together they would easily conquer the 7 kingdoms. I couldn't tell if there were sparks or not, but I didn't see any between her and Daario either before they got together. I do think Dany liked her up front attitude overall though; and if anyone can be taken at face value it is Yara Greyjoy! Can't wait to see what happens next there, they did shake on the 100 ships deal! WOO HOO !!!!
Yara and Daenerys did have a moment. Emilia Clark confirmed it was a flirtatious moment. Stark banners on the rise! And the irony with Ramsay in the end was awesome. I imagined that, or Ghost doing it. This post has been edited by Darkness Eternal: Jun 24 2016, 01:50 AM

I imagined that, or Ghost doing it. I agree with what you put in spoiler tags, I loved that scene - some real ETN type fighting there! But didn't care much for the "poetic justice" end there; to me that reeked of Hollywood writing as opposed to how GRRM would have done it; and D & D all but confirmed they were behind the way that went down. I really think if GRRM had finished his next book, we would have seen a different ending there; something that didn't put Sansa on Ramsey's level. And I don't think GRRM would have written Ramsey as such a moustache twirler either. Hollywood always feels like their audience isn't smart enough to know a guy is evil unless they beat it into the ground; GRRM didn't do that with even his worst characters. Example: Waldor Frey - the guy is darnright likeable; but orchestrated the biggest mass murder of an entire family and all his enemies in one swoop - the most devious plan in history! That is how GRRM writes bad guys; they don't ooze evil but when they do something evil = they do it goooooood !!!!! BWAAAHAAAHAAA! Also noticed the brilliant dialogue for Tyrion has dlsappeared since the point where the books ended and Hollywood writing started. I really hope GRRM gets off his butt and finishes those books so we see more of his mind at work and less of D & D's. Oh, but wasn't Dany's scene a good one! And I could most def tell Yara was interested in Dany; just couldn't tell if the flirtation was mutual or not. Yara would def do Dany though, that was obvious; This post has been edited by mALX: Jun 24 2016, 02:32 AM

Thought this ep was a bit hit and miss. How did Varys manage to get to Dorne and back so quickly? Why did D&D have Qyburn deal with Pycelle? What was the point of that entire High Sparrow storyline if they're just going to literally blow it all away? With that said - I liked the stuff in the North, I liked Arya's appearance, I'm happy to see Bran back at the wall, I liked the conversation between Dany and Tyrion, and I'm glad they're (literally) moving forward after so long in Meereen.

KING IN THE NORTH  If I'm not mistaken, Varys left two episodes ago. Is he back? I'll have to watch that episode for the 30th time, I missed his return!  But Dorne isn't that far away, both are in the hot southern climate area. I wondered about Qyburn too; and what gave him the power to announce Cersei as the crowned queen? Oh, I think it would be really funny if somehow the High Sparrow survived that explosion somehow! Since Jon Snow threw the Red Woman out, maybe she will go resurrect the High Sparrow next? What I am wondering = Did Arya actually feed Waldor Frey's sons to him? Did he eat them? GROSS! But ... still, thumbs up! Arya the "Rat Cook!" But I will def miss Frey's quarrellous dialogue! He was hysterical! This post has been edited by mALX: Jun 27 2016, 06:27 PM

Yep, Varys is standing behind Tyrion and Dany on the ship at the end. This means that he traveled from Sunspear to Meereen in half an episode! According to my maps, the distance between those two cities is pretty much the same as the distance between Sunspear and Last Hearth, which is almost at The Wall. Maybe Varys is secretly a sorcerer. I don't know why the writers didn't just leave him in Westeros for now, rather than moving him around and annoying me so much that I actually look at maps. As for Arya, I'm pretty sure I saw a tooth in that pie she gave Walder. She might be a talented assassin, but she's a very sloppy cook. Hah! Maybe the High Sparrow will turn out to be a distant relation to Dany and is immune to fire. Either way, Cersei is pretty much done for now, she has the Tyrells and Martells both coming for her, a new King in the North, and team Dany to contend with. I must say, I was sad to see Margaery die. She's one of my favourite characters and I really thought she'd survive until the end. Such is life in Westeros, I suppose.

Cut a man's vital parts off, and you'll be surprised how fast he can travel! Ew, a tooth? Your TV must have more pixels than mine; but I thought I saw a finger when he peeled back the second slice - but did he eat the first slice? I didn't see him eating it; only her bringing the platter and cutting that piece out; putting it in front of him. But Margaery and Tommen - yeah. I think Cersei having Qyburn declare her as queen was "the last act of a desperate man" type thing. On one hand, don't see it lasting. On the other - she does have the Mountain on her side!!!! We may yet get that Clegane bowl; or maybe Arya will cook him up for Cercei's dinner? BWAAHAA!

As for the Littlefinger, Varys and Arya time travel/teleporation/jetpack devices . . . well, D&D said that the characters and the scenes do not operate on the same time frame. Each character has weeks or days off another depending on the story. So they say . . . The Rat Cook story came hand in hand with Arya and Walder. Bran would be proud . . . or not. You know what I think? After the final scene in the episode- with Dany and her fleet, soldiers and dragons . . . . Fred Flinstone, erh, I mean Robert Baratheon would be rolling in his grave right now. The day he feared basically came true. A Targaryan at the head of a massive army with three grown dragons. Wow. And Dany is free to wed someone . . . Word on the block is that we got a new King in the North. Edit:This post has been edited by Darkness Eternal: Jun 27 2016, 07:40 PM

I didn't know his wolf was killed before he was! Time to watch the Red Wedding episode again! So Dany can marry Jon Snow (who is possibly her nephew); or Lilttlefinger (who may turn his focus from Sansa when Dany arrives); ... or ... er, Cersei? QUOTE(Tellie @ Jun 27 2016, 03:31 PM)  As we've all noticed as the series goes on and beyond what has been written for the books so far, we get more 'hollywoody' as time goes. So keeping true to that development, with Dany right out stating that she needs to marry I think the THE KIT IN THE NORTH! will prob be her hubby, Reach and Dorne have already declared for her. Westerlands/Crownlands/Stormlands and parts of the Riverlands are 'pro' Cers, but depleted after wars.
Other parts of the Riverlands will most likely support THE KIT IN THE NORTH! as they did with Robb, but both the riverlands and the North are pretty depleted themselves, the Vale however is pretty much at full strength, so with 2.5-3 kingdoms declared for THE KIT IN THE NORTH! I think that will be Dany's best choice, also helps that Tyrion actually likes Jon.
Anywho that's my belief so far.
Yes, I do think Tyrion liked Jon. Might be a good thing if it turns out later that they are all possibly related! (That's right; I'm not giving up on Tyrion being a possible monkey in the Targaryen/Lannister woodpile; since they are immune to Greyscale disease and Tyrion was exposed with Mormont and didn't catch it - not to mention his rapport with the dragons) So, add to that: Dany's; Jon's; and Tyrion's Mothers all died giving birth to them. Makes me think there is a Targaryen connection that causes the women to suffer traumatic births! BWAAHAA!

More proof dragons are just Dany's nukes. I mean we already have Euron wanting to take over the dragons. And Euron is rumored to have one dragon egg that he supposedly lost at sea (yeah, right!) - and he also owns a horn that is supposed to tame dragons and bend their will to him instead of Dany. I see a big war battle between him and Dany going on before she reaches Kings Landing!
