Just watched, still feeling the emotions!!! what a badass episode!!!!
Creepy Bran is creepy.
Arya has made the longest journey and it's finally over. I was almost in tears at the idea of her making it home, but I expected more of her meeting with Sansa. Sansa never cared for Jon, a bastard, and they hugged forever when they met, now the two littler sisters meet and they're just like "'sup sis?"... ok, they hugged, but I expected more.
Anyway, Arya showing off what a badass she became for the W-T-F-'ery of everyone was awesome. Loved the "Who taught you that? no one" line.
And, well, surely I wasn't the only one, but I totally saw it coming with Dany saying "ah, fuck it, let's use dragons". The battle reached levels of absolute badassery not previously known to man or beast. The whole burning battlefield with dark clouds of smoke engulfing it all was terrific. Thanks to Iron Maiden we know of the real horrors of the battle of Paschendale in the mud, this will be instead the fictional battle in the clouds of smoke and fire.
That whole ending battle had my heart racing the whole time. The long lag between hearing the Dothraki and finally seeing them was perfect, and hearing the dragon's roar was just insane.
Absolutely agree! I thought Dany would use just the dragons, but since the show is in a "screw time and distances" mode, she was able to carry the whole Dothraki along. And seeing them appear was gorgeous.
Then Dany coming in on the dragon to just burn everything was really cool to see. It's interesting how they showed this with Bronn. I think most people really enjoy his character, but imagine if he killed drogon? It's like you are rooting both for and against him.
That's what I was thinking! It's Bronn so he's cool, but he fights for the Lannisters, which are the bad guys, but she's up against Dany who, truth be told, kinda became a crazy bitch right now, but she's the mother of dragons and aaaaah it was simplier with Lord of the Rings, you knew who to root for
Also, Tyrion having still a soft spot for Jaimie and hoping he doesn't get killed was priceless. I don't question his loyalties like Dany did in a fit of frustrations, but he was very conflicted on the battlefield, he had "Geez what have I done" printed on his face.
