    Loved Bran quoting Littlefinger back at Littlefinger.

    Please have Arya slit his throat with that dagger.

    Loved her fight sequence with Brienne, I thought she pulled off the physicality of the fight.
    Amazing considering she's actually right handed

    Bronn laughing at the name "Dickon" the highlight for me. Jerome Flynn must be pinching himself to have landed that character. Brilliant episode

    Great episode, what a series. Anyone watch thronecast? Before it started Sky gave out a helpline for anyone affected by tonight's episode, WTF is that about?!

    Had tickets for last week's thronecast, couldn't make it.

    Did the battle take place just outside of Kings Landing ? If so, how did Khaleesi's army get there so quickly ?

    Dragonstone is relatively close to King's Landing.

    that was fucking class. I was blown away by it personally. It's even the little things like the drawing of the white walkers in the caves

    I really hope it turns out that Jon spent a couple of hours with a bit of chalk drawing those pictures to trick Dany
    If he had drawn the pictures there would have been one of the two of them getting jiggy.

    Cersei losing her brother again and all her gold, she's gonna be pissed. Which means something really fucked up is gonna happen.

    I loved Davos's "good hearts" way of saying Danaerys and Missandei are fit, eh Jon?

    I thought the whole point was her losing the gold, especially after the opening scene with the Iron Banker. But when I watched it again last night I noticed Tarly Snr. said "all the gold has safely been delivered to King's Landing."

    I think the problem Cersei may have is getting it to Braavos, if KL is under siege.

    I thought the supplies were set on fire because the carts were made if wood and there were people near them.

    I reckon Cersei will slaughter the Iron Bank fella, losing patience with him when he wont help.. starting the beginning of the end.

    If they were destroying the supplies it was to starve out King's Landing for the upcoming siege. The dragonfire looked pretty effective at scorching the earth and everything around it on its own without the help of props.

    More to the point, how did a huge Dothraki army on horseback manage virtually complete surprise? Also, how did the unsullied manage to sail all the way round the whole continent to land at Casterly Rock in the previous episode?

    I think at this point with GoT, you have to ignore the gaping plot holes and inconsistencies and just enjoy the spectacle.

    That close to the shore? Within 3-5 meters?

    In the previous shot he was about to get toasted by a fantastial creature that is so big that gravity would almost certainly cause it's bones to collapse on themselves. Think I can live with a lake being deeper than expected.
    But there were clear close in shots of the hooves of his horse as it galloped towards the dragon in about a foot of water. Then, when he is knocked off the horse he is in very deep water and floating down, presumably being dragged down by his armour. Don't understand why the other bloke was also floating down. It was as if the director was making a point about the fact the water was only a foot deep. Wouldn't surprIse me if he wasn't simply knocked unconscious and lying in a foot of water, before being hauled up onto the dragon and taken back to be held hostage.

    It's probably like that bit in Snatch where Brad Pitt inexplicably falls into the sea during his boxing match.

    One problem i've had with Game of thrones for quite some time (in fact since they overtook the books) is their passage of time is all over the place. Again, it's probably because of lack of a backstory, in the books something interesting would happen on their journey to somewhere, now they don't have that and just trying to get everyone in place for the final war against the white walkers.

    I thought that Littlefinger has been up to something since the series began, but they started making it too obvious last night like they want everyone to assume he's up to something. Thinking perhaps he's not now and that he'll be killed off, presumably by Arya and the dagger.

    Felt a bit bloodthirsty towards the end, wanted a main character to go, nothing against them and I enjoy their characters but was hoping either Bronn or Jaime.

    Bronn or Jamie is hard choice as there both decent characters... I would have to go with Bronn as Jamie is just a little too important!

    No it was because the carts contained grain and other items necessary to survive a siege. Without it, they may not last that long.

    A few scenes earlies Danny was lamenting the Lannisters taking all the supplies that would feed her Dothraki. I think they were there for spectacle, rather than it be shot after shot of people being turned to ash.

    The show being what it is, it really shouldn't pull it's punches about killing either Jamie or Bronn, but both did hit the water in the final scene.

    Neither are dead IMO. I think if they'd wanted to kill one off the dragon would have fried them. Both avoided that scenario, Bronn by jumping from the giant crossbow and Jaime because someone pushed him into the water. I think it was probably Bronn. Bronn wears little armour and would be able to swim and thus would be able to pull Jaime out of the water too. Dickon was also in full plate which would likely mean they would both sink and die. The other alternative is that Dickon DID save Jaime and Dickon will die but Bronn will still pull Jaime out.

    It was Bronn - white horse, he looked at an abandoned white horse after avoiding the dragon fire.

    Rickon Dickon was on a brown horse.
