Arya vs Brienne was my favourite scene and this weeks man crush is Jaime Lannister. Would have been happy enough if he’d successfully completed that final charge.
I cheered when one half of Robson and Jerome hit the dragon.
Got to admit, the tactical nous of Team Expressive Eyebrows is somewhat lacking. Have 3 dragons that can rip through an entire army? Then why not use just one, then have loads of your army die/get in the way of further attacks from the one dragon you did bring.
Still no Hound, but Ayra being badass made up for it.
Little finger is on borrowed time I feel.
I am 100% now on Team Cersei. Well, only because of Jaime and Bron.
The next episode is Eastwatch so time for a healthy dose of the Hound hopefully. Is Jaime going to be captive again I wonder? I really wanted to see Ser Bronski fry, oh and I want a pet Drogon.

I think they’ve said previously that a dragon needs a rider to be controlled in battle and the only riders they’ve referenced have been targaryen so as far as any of the characters know there’s only one possible dragon jockey.
He is but only Bran knows it. Also there may be one other half Targaryen knocking about so we may get to see dragon squadron going into battle at some point.
Good bits and bad bits. Getting a bit fed up of the same characters being invincible. Jaime Lannister should have died about 30 times. The best thing about GOT was how unpredictable it was, think it’s losing that a lot. That cave scene was almost funny.
Think that was one of the best episodes of any series, first half some actual character/story development and second half a battle, with a dragon! Are we heading for a Luke & Leia moment (although half and half is probably fine in a world where Cersei and Jaime are at it. I guess Bran must let Jon know soon
Dany’s army turning up in The Reach was the most egregious teleportation yet.
Weren’t in the Reach though, were they?
Just before they were attacked Randall Tarly told us that the gold ( at the head of the column), was all safely behind the gates of Kings Landing and they just had to hurry up the stragglers at the end of the column.
The battle presumably took place on the Rose Road not far from Kings Landing, which is pretty close to Dragonstone. No teleportation required.

Still had to get across the Black Water iirc? Or something along those lines anyway. Think you’re right about the gold being away sadly, would’ve been interesting to see how the Iron Bank would have responded otherwise
I’d happily have seen Jamie turned into ash, it felt like his time to go out but I guess the looks from Tyrion mean there will be some sort of family reunion. The dragon crossbow was a pretty epic fail overall.
It did feel like the Dothraki could have stopped a bit sooner and let the dragon burn up most of the army though, I reckon 90% of the army could have been crispy before they even needed to get involved with their tiny hand scythes. Between this and the attack on Casterly Rock, it’s almost like Dany has forgotten that she can’t exactly replace any of the unsullied and the dothraki who are killed. It’s not like there’s a recruiting office for either of her armies.
I do like that Sansa obviously thought she was a badass and now she’s got a little brother who can see the past and future and a little sister who is not only pretty handy with shape shifting and poison but can beat one of the best fighters in the TV show.

They did need to get off the island though which seemed to happen almost immediately after they said “Oh yeah, all our boats are gone, apart from the ones we need to get the Dothraki to the mainland”.
After Bron got de-horsed, I really wanted him to do the sensible thing & run away – rather than morph into the last action hero (which was a bit much). Although I guess that would’ve effectively put him on the sidelines for the rest of the show.

In GoT stylee I was expecting both Jaime and Bronn to snuff it several times. It would have properly pissed Cersei off.

Very mobile strike force too (once on dry land). All on horseback. And a dragon.
I think the ‘Bron seeing his money drop on the floor and leaving it’ scene, showed that his character has changed. From someone only motivated by money, to a dude who was now motivated by friendship. Backed up where he Hollywooded Jaime off his horse into the drink.

I think Jaime is going to be involved in Cersei’s downfall, so they have to keep him around. Plus….phwoaaar!

Nah, I thought it was entirely in character. Throughout the series Bronn has been motivated by one thing. The survival of Bronn.
He took one look at the money and thought “I’m not dying for that”
