Game of Thrones begins....

[grumbler]

Yeah, sam's new surrogate dad was good. I also like euron. He's a weird amalgamation of the book greyjoy brothers, but the actor pulls it off. Especially when antagonizing Jaime. 

Pilou Asbæk is having too much fun with his script to make me believe that he is admirable in that role.   The writers obviously love him, which makes me, at best, ambivalent.

[Razgovory]

The Sand Snakes are dead!  Hooray!  I was kind of curious how Lady Olenna got back to Highgarden so fast. 

[viper37]

whole "thousand ship fleet" bit by Euron is absurd, of course.  That was discussed with here before the season started.  The conclusion was that ships are built at the speed the plot requires.

you are taking things too literally.  He didn't mean "buid me 1000 ships, not one less", he meant "build me a lot of ships".  He might have 400-500 ships and judged it was enough.

[viper37]

Sailing the Unsullied all the way round Westeros while Euron was at large is pretty pinheaded.

they didn't know of Euron before the Unsullied were sent away, along with the fleet to gather the Dornish soldiers.

It is certainly a failure of their spymaster to not know about Euron.

I'm kinda wondering what the point of following Sam around is.  I figured he would be the guy who met and treated Jorah, but we got that out of the way pretty quickly. His father seems to be moving up in the world, so maybe we going somewhere with that.

It was kind of alluded to that Sam's boss (the guy Broadbent plays) was writing the history of the War.  I wonder if that's suppose to be Sam's ultimate fate.  Didn't Samwise Gamgee (who Samwell Tarly is named after) finish the history of the Lord of the Rings?

Seems pretty obvious to me that he's going to rediscover the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch that will smite the white walkers.

The leper cells made zero sense.  They lock them up in order to tell them there's no cure and that they have to leave.

I dunno. Kind of makes sense for me. Spread the word amongst the population that if you catch this disease you just have to report to a maester and he'll send you to Oldtown to be cured....
Once there they lock you up and then when there's a ship available send the sufferers away to Valyria.

The part that doesn't make sense is having these ships making runs to Valyria. A land halfway around the world which is supposed to be a utterly cursed land of no return where few dare tread and fewer return. Surely they could find a more convenient place for a leper colony.

I liked the scene with the Dorne girls for once, used as an instrument for Cersei's revenge rather than for their own story. Lena Headey is playing the shit out of this evil queen.

[Berkut]

Whoever does her wardrobe needs to take it down a notch or two though.

[HVC]

They're trying to lady Macbeth her up. It's a shame though, that with all the great actors, both regular and guest, that Emilia Clark is so bad.

That Bran actor doesn't really hold up either.

[HVC]

yeah, child actors are hit or miss. sometimes they grown into it, and sometimes they don't. He didn't. 

His new zoned out character is off putting too (and not just because of the rape reminder), but I don't know how much of it is the actor, and how much the character.

[Berkut]

I am not sure what the point of creepy Bran pointing out to Sansa that he watched her get raped was...

He's just filling the Ramsey Bolton-vacated role of over-the-top psycho bad guy,

Yes, that was strange. They could have used just about any other scene.
And him being all-knowing somehow would mean he knows about Arya as well...
