The sex scene was some of the most robotic emotionless shit i’ve ever seen. She’s got absolutely no personality any more, practically no different to Bran.

Really think here story arc should’ve ended with her being a rogue faceless man (person?) roaming Westeros and handing out tough street justice to cunt lords who deserved it but never being able to re-integrate into normal society because of the gruesome fucked up shit packaged up in her existence.

There's something deeper to the Arya scene than just her getting off with gendry. She'd just found out he had a claim to the throne. Won't be surprised if she ends up pregnant.
Also wondering when little finger reappears...

yeah I think that happened because of what he just told her.
probably thinks it's a potential chance to get one over on her sister down the line

A sort of quiet before the storm episode. I miss Ned Stark.

Daenerys’ arc has really suffered without POV chapters and everything that they couldn’t bring over from the books. Majority of the last couple of seasons her character has been all over the place. She just doesn’t seem very smart at all.

Just watching the episode again now. While it is nice having throwbacks to things that have happened earlier, they’re massively overusing the LOOK THEYVE SAID THIS IN A PREVIOUS SEASON trope to the point where you just start to roll your eyes when they’ve done it for the 5th time this episode.

I like slowing the pace down I just don’t think they wrote many decent scenes to make it worthwhile.
That Arya stuff was really poorly handled I thought, but I still have faith she’s gonna be a badass when shit starts to hit the fan. Killing all the Freys is still one of my favourite scenes.

She just doesn’t seem very smart at all. got proper Dunning-Krueger syndrome hasn't she, she's got as far as she has because of the dragons and now she's been faced with people that are smarter and better leaders than her it's showing her up. Dany x Jon is the least interesting romantic pairing ever as well, she's really fallen so far over the course of the show from arguably the best main character to probably the worst.

Daenerys has never been a smart character like. Always impulse driven, essentially she’s an amalgamation of both of her brothers but in conflicting ways. Woman of the people like Rhaegar, violent and stupid like Viserys.
I think the idea was that she was always going to be exposed later on as she got closer to the top. Her trek from Essos to Westeros was pretty much unstoppable, gathering this huge army, having three dragons. The night king played her into basically giving away one of her dragons, she’s been played by Cersei, Tyrion is having to do all of the thinking for her while she offers nothing. She’s trying the power play with Sansa as well, someone smarter than she is. That’s not going to work.
The idea of the mad queen has been veering towards Cersei for years now but there’s no reason it can’t apply to both, or neither. If the Night King does ride for Kings Landing it might be seeing what he can do that makes Cersei do something selfless, maybe using the last of the wildfire and completely destroying the city but taking him with it.

I like how she's mad at Tyrion having bad plans while continuing to do dumb shit herself.

That’s the best 90 minutes of television I’ve ever seen.
Fuck me.
