"Arise, Brienne of Tarth, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms!"

I almost never cry, but I have to admit, I actually got choked up over that one.

I don't get all those people who are saying this was a boring episode. Next week's episode is going to be so much better because they took the time this week and last to let these characters breath, what may be the final breath for many of them.

That scene was very wholesome.

Then you have the complete opposite of wholesome, which was the whole milk thing.

Lyanna telling off Friendzone was lol. Her stabbing night king dude in the face and getting the iron throne would be amazing.

So do think Jon will have a chance to tell Dany he doesn't care about claiming the Iron Throne before Dany kills him?

I don't know... seeing the knighting scene just made me think "Well... she's going to die." :(

That's what all of the heartfelt scenes felt like. Grey Worm planning his retirement on the beaches with Missendei - buh bye. Hound and Berric sharing a moment - buh bye.

I figure anyone that had their story wrapped up is going to die.

Well that was the beauty of what the writers did. Every single character in the North had their “I’m two days from retirement” scene. So if literally anyone or everyone could die.

If they had only done it to a few characters we would know who was going to die.

bran the bait@ godswood tree

guarded by just no balls with a bow and dragon glass arrows?
somehow I don't think the night king will be alone in coming for Bran.

anyone else helping guard bran?

also, where did arya get her scars on her side from?

The dragons probably won't follow through with her order because they recognize Jon as a Targaryen.

I actually had this thought that the two dragons will take sides, or just refuse to kill either of them. One would think that John and Dany wouldn't be in conflict over this simply because that is in John's character, but that's just not how this shit goes.
