The actress playing Ellaria Sand went up in my estimation.2

Best line ever from Olenna Tyrell in that episode3
-
It's incredible how much they squeeze in to each episode, their self-imposed time limit has forced them to hurry through but I think a lot of economic factors went into that decision. They touched on about six different plot threads in that Olena/ Jaime exchange alone.
I do think it'll help when the characters stop having to tell each other who they are. This season seems to be about getting characters into position for the big finish.
Also, I get a kick out of reunion scenes, and the Snow/ Tyrion meet-up was a great one.

Brilliant episode.0

Superb, the actress who plays Cersei is unbelievable, plays her so well. The plan she has for the Dornish is so awful that it's impressive1

One thing that does bother me is that it is hard to gauge the scale of each Houses' armed forces in comparison to each other. It has been implied before that Tyrell had significant forces, even on a level to match Lannister. Has the Tyrell army been totally destroyed then, or if their whole army was not garrisoned at Highgarden, why on earth wasn't it and where on earth are they (since the Unsullied were expecting to see the entire Lannister forces at Casterly Rock)?
Does this effectively mean Houses Dorne and Tyrell are no longer participating? I guess all will be made clear next episode.0 -
It worries me that Bran is likely to be a big character in the climax of the show given that he's a dreadful, dreadful actor.North Lower Neil said:Bran is a miserable fuck, isn't he?

Yeah this confused me too, last night Olenna says the Tyrell army aren't natural fighters, yet in the Battle of Blackwater the Tyrell's single handedly save the Lannister army from defeat. I know they lost Randal Tarly and his forces to the Lannisters but the Reach and Highgarden according to the books have a lot of other strong houses who support the Tyrell's.Fiiish said:One thing that does bother me is that it is hard to gauge the scale of each Houses' armed forces in comparison to each other.

It did help set up that Olenna scene with Jamie however which was the best dialogue of the whole series and probably very significant in later episodes in terms of how it affects Jamie and his mentality towards Cersei and Tyrion.

Indira Varma was also John Luther's wife in the first season of Luther. I certainly like to see more of her work.North Lower Neil said:The actress playing Ellaria Sand went up in my estimation.

Wasn't there a scene in an earlier episode where Jamie is talking the commander of the Tyrell armies currently deployed to protect King's Landing? If so, then that would explain why Highgarden was defenceless1

Guess there will be some somewhere but you would imagine Cersei we will be giving Dorne to another house now anywayFiiish said:0 -
Agreed on the Jamie/Tyrion dynamic potentially being even more interesting following that conversation.
He still killed Tywin though!0 -
As others have said, strong episode.
Good that Cersei seemingly has the upper hand. Danerys will have to change tac now.
Who is left to fight cersei now other than the unsullied, dothraki and whoever else Danerys has. Martell and the Tyrell's taken out the equation
Levels the playing field

The Unsullied, the Dothraki and 3 dragons is still a huge threat.cabbles said:As others have said, strong episode.

Its a shame the Sand Snakes didnt feature more prominently in the series, they added a sense of fun in a sinister way.....no mention of the other 5 Sand Snakes at all either. Nymeria was particularly good looking (Jessica Henwick).0

Dany will roast the Lannister army as it tries to return from high garden. Olenna will have sent a raven so they will know where the army is unlike the fleet. And those dragons have been chained up too long.
Agree about there being a spy in Dany's army, I thought it was someone in the greyjoy fleet but now not so sure.
Cersei got justice, despite being the mad queen and Olenna's news may just push her over the edge.
Euron is my new favourite character, unfortunately I fear he's going to burn out before the end of the series.
Sam is definitely going to find something about the R+L=J theory in those papers and therefore leave the maesters. On the note of Sam, someone (sorry I can't remember the username) mentioned he can't be warden of the south because he's in the nights watch. I think the nights watch will no longer exist by the conclusion. The wildlings are south of the wall, the wall will fall and the night king will die so I don't see how it will exist anymore. I also think that Sam is getting a similar sort of arc to Faramir in LotR. But it's a fair point about the nights watch that I had forgotten.1 -

Jessica also stars in Netflix's Iron Fist, alongside Finn Jones who played Loris Tyrell. Check that out if you haven't already, although you need to be a Marvel fan if you do so.TEL said:Its a shame the Sand Snakes didnt feature more prominently in the series, they added a sense of fun in a sinister way.....no mention of the other 5 Sand Snakes at all either.

Although, I was quite surprised at how zen he is all of a sudden, he still needed to be convinced when we saw him with Benjen. A week's hike south and he's turned into The Love Guru.2 -
I guess it's a very tough role to fill - especially given that there are some pretty extremes physical restrictions on what the actor can do to articulate their lines. They had to chose a child to play the role at the outset of the series several years ago and just cross their fingers that he's turn into a decent actor but it hasn't worked out.JiMMy 85 said:
