That was excellent reminded me of that bit in Return of The King when Gandalf talks about the deep breath before the plunge or something, proper sense of building of dread. (the Gendry & Arya bit was gross)
That should have been the first episode. What a waste of a first episode that was particularly after that.
No Cersei which was interesting I am starting to wonder if the final 3 episodes is going to be everyone turning on each other or some sort of epilogue like The Wire used to do with its last episodes and this has to some extent with each season.
No spoilers⌠but will say that it was actually really excellent. Better than any episode from the last series by a significant margin. Other than that, happy watching!
Great great ep. Palpable sense of dread throughout, interspersed with warm fuzzies at the various reunions. Loved the knighting of Sir (Ser?) Brienne.
Danyâs reaction to Johnâs revelation was interesting. Seemed more put out over his claim to the iron throne than the aunt/nephew thing. Could this forge a new rivalry?
Also there is nothing wrong with that sex scene. An adult female character instigates a consensual sexual encounter on this show and youâre all freaking out?
Arya and Gendry . The nudity was a little weird though, given how weâve known her since she was a kid⌠donât think itâs the showâs fault though, just my thingâŚ
So much fucking great character work going on in this ep. Properly teared up at Theonâs reunion with Sands and Ser Brienne.
I think the issue people have is that they feel uncomfortable that she was young seven seasons ago and this episode she didnât constantly make reference to her age like âOH IT WOULD SUCH A SHAME TO DIE NOT KNOWING THE TOUCH OF A MAN, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE I AM 18 YEARS OLD AND THEREFORE MORE THAN LEGAL!111â
