    Very unimpressed by the season so far.. Some awful acting especially by a very wooden Dany. Enjoyed the battle but a bit surprised that a fleet of ships can sneak up on another fleet like that without anyone noticing until they start getting hit with amazingly accurate fireballs. Hope it gets better.

    Seems like loads on here are trying to spoil it for themselves by picking holes in every little thing.

    Personally I think its been excellent so far (It's a new one aside). The pace has been perfect.

    My only concern is - What has happened to Bronn??

    Or gendry.. which is probably the biggest mystery in the show now that Jon snows parentage has been solved

    Gendry might be useful for making dragon glass weapons! And for all we know he's camping out under Dragonstone, that's where we last saw him and he couldn't row very well! It would be odd for such a loose end to exist given how loose ends get picked back up again so much. But then again, with the Barratheons all gone he doesn't have as much of a purpose as before.

    Bronn doesn't demand screen time without being part of someone else's story, but I reckon he'll be back when Jaime has something else to do.

    I guess there are a few options for Gendry - maybe he, as King Robert's only true heir (even if he is a bastard) he could end up being king. Maybe he could be the present the new, improved Euron promised to Cerci. Or maybe, now Khalesi and the red witch have hooked up, he'll finally be sacrificed to the Gods.

    With his Sand Snake girl being captured will he return to rescue her? She is the most beautiful woman in the world after all.

    I... I don't want to ruin this for you but... I don't think she was captured... EDIT: Maybe Tyene and Ellia were, the others were the ones that got killed off.

    Maybe he'll row past and pick up Theon.

    I think they were captured. But for what purpose? Enjoyment of Euron's lot or Cersei I don't know.

    I think you can kinda get a sense of where everyone's storylines are going, especially after all the set ups, but Theon... WTF!? Maybe he'll finally redeem himself by rescuing his sister, but it seems unlikely.

    Euron will give them to Cersei who now has the woman who murdered her daughter , and her daughter ironically.

    I think I'd rather be dead in their shoes, going to be some pretty graphic torture scenes.

    I think it was the only way him & his sister would have survived, if he had attempted a rescue her throat would have been slit and Theon skewered. It sets up a heroic rescue later on

    Isn't he in Kings Landing?

    Don't think we'll see Bronn until Jaime leaves to fight, as great as he is he isn't really needed in the story at all.

    That's how I felt as he was computing the situation, that was the only smart play - but the maniacal laugh and his sister's reaction certainly gave me the impression that the scene was supposed to show he literally, and figuratively, had no balls. But either way, a rescue (and sacrifice?) to save his sister would redeem him. To be honest, I thought both of them would die as they'd ultimately run out of story.

    Also, if I could put money on it, I'd say Jorah will die saving someone. There's added tragedy to sacrifice when the character who is desperately trying to find a way to live accepts death instead.

    It was Nym and Obara that were killed.

    Ellaria and Tyene were captured.

    Very typical of GOT when the bad side (Cersei) have few allies and are made out to have little chance in the war; then the one ally she does make (Euron) turns out to be a bit of a boss and destroys one of the major attacks on Kings Landing before they get there.

    Really enjoyed last night's episode btw. Can see why some would prefer it slower but prefer the fast pace of the show to previous slower series.

    I nearly cheered at Jon threatening Littlefinger.

    Drove me mad that. Jon violently threatens the bloke well known for being the most conniving, untrustworthy, backstabbing shits in the world and then leaves him alone in his house with his little 'sister' who the bloke just said he was after. All Stark men are basically massive idiots and they deserve everything they get and more
    Luckily Jon is only part Stark and Sansa is easily smart enough to handle herself.
    True. Though Jon is the Starkiest Stark who ever Starked

    She did need something to swing in her favour though. HAving Euron capture his niece, i forget her name, and ellaria, really helps their cause.

    Also, one dragon will now die by the looks of it

    Yeah that's a classic, almost literal "Chekov's Gun" we just saw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov's_gun).

    That's not the rule for this thread mate. If you don't want spoilers don't open it - otherwise you're stopping the vast, vast majority of people from discussing.

    Spoiler tags are an option but are finnicky to use, and stifle conversation.

    I'll accept the woosh but the winky face emoji means too many things to really make that point clear.

    The ships were safiling to collect the armies of Dorne and Tyrel, the lot from across the sea would then be taken to Casterly Rock.
