Lots of pandering to the audience and really nothing of consequence happened, but I still enjoyed it. I am curious to see what happens with the Bran-Jamie interaction, though. Is Bran emotionless enough to not care anymore? Did Jamie still think that Bran was killed by Theon?

I'll be watching it soon. We only have streaming HBO and figured it would be sketchy to try to watch last night due to all the server traffic.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Lol. Yup. I use HBO Now and servers were overloaded for a while. I checked back every so often and around 10' it worked fine. Definitely not the full quality I usually get with HBO streaming, so they were definitely throttling some. Good enough to get the job done, though. Especially since there wasn't a ton going on that would demand much better.
I enjoyed the premier for sure, but like Brock said above, it was table setting. I'm ok with that. They can't get right to the epic battles or it'll be all over soon. I think I preferred the slow simmer they're doing, allowing us the chance to get back into things since it's been so long. They allowed us a moment to refamiliarize ourselves with the characters and just what the heck is going on. The way they wrote this episode, it helped tremendously with keeping us from having to marathon the last 7 seasons first. Haha.

Lot of loose ends to tie up with only 5 episodes left. My wife is a GOT nerd and is very anxious about the need for closure on the many characters.
I love the show but I don’t remember the names well.

Makes sense in light of all the happy happy in the first episode. One of the things I've really appreciated has been the superb maturational story lines for Arya and Sansa. Both were initially so well presented as young and immature i.e. stupid and annoying, and then slowly but surely in the face of often incomprehensible odds and trauma, survived and grew into incredibly powerful women. John Snow just got fat.

My wife had a signed George R Martin GOT book when we met, I made her sell it for cash to put towards our down payment on a house.
He’s gonna die soon, that guy is on borrowed time. Should of waited until he died to sell it.......
Dammit.

I dunno. I have a feeling they're going to leave at least a couple of plot lines unresolved (intentionally) so that when Martin FINALLY ever gets around to completing the book series, there will be more reason for people to buy the books. Sure, the TV series will probably get all the main stuff tied up, but we'll probably end up with more than a few questions, for which we'll all have to read to find out what happened!

I think Sam Tarly is a pathetic little whiner and his inbred wife and "son" (double incest baby) might be the most boring character in the show. His response to Danny should have been "executed? Good call! They always hated me and treated me like dog shit. Name me Lord Tarly as well as Head Maester please. Oh and John is your nephew but I won't tell anyone in exchange for riches."
But nooo... it's "sniffle John she cooked my asshole family! sniffle! And you are kneeling to your Auntie when she should kneel to you! boohoo! But maybe not in the bedroom anymore because ew! sniffle"
Of course Danny is probably going to say: "Incest? Targarians have always been down with that. Aunt-Nephew is not as bad as that Lannister Brother-Sister shit or that Craster father-daughter (murder sons) that got Sam his wife!"
Tyrion is not going to be very stoked when John wants to execute Jaime for the maiming of Bran, the final fracture in the North/Dragon Queen alliance?Originally Posted by blurred

Dead Pool:
Probables:
Theon, Jaime, Jorah (heroically)
Jaime (maybe heroically)
Cersei (unheroically)
The Mountain and/or The Hound (messily)
Possibles:
Tormund, Grey Worm, Beric Dondarian, Podrick, Davos, Bron

is this proposed for Ep2? or by the end?
Cersei & the Mountain aint going out next show...
I'm guessing that the army of the dead doesn't arrive til the long show in ep3 (ep2 is closer to an hour) -- guessing big battle long scene with much death featuring your "possibles" list

Sam Tarly IS a pathetic little whiner. His character was specifically written as a coward. His father sent him to take the black because he was too much of a coward to carry the family name. He never had the spine to do any of what you're talking about. Watch this refresher while you take a lap
Of course Danny is probably going to say: "Incest? Targarians have always been down with that. Aunt-Nephew is not as bad as that Lannister Brother-Sister shit or that Craster father-daughter (murder sons) that got Sam his wife!"

I get why they did it but wish it was either the last episode of last season or were doing 7 episodes this season. If there weren’t only 5 episodes left I think I’d be more ok with it. I did like seeing all the story lines finally come together.

I gotta say, the 60m interview, the dyke chick who protects the stark girl, she's pretty damn easy on the eyes outta character. I was impressed. EDIT breinne of Tarth.
and the yang to that yen was the denaris taryen. the actress outta character was not nearly as hot as denaris."Can't you see..."

You are right about Sam, but Dany better be worried unless she is either mad as her dad or a democrat.
What does she think is going to happen to her better world when she eventually dies with no heirs?
I'm betting that the witch was blowing smoke about her blood magic sterilizing Dany... maybe she now only works with House of Dragon incest sperm?Originally Posted by blurred

Dany believes the witch's curse is real and has repeated that the dragons are the only children she'll ever have. They know that periods = able to have babies, so there's a good chance she's aware of her body. She also was sleeping around in seasons 2-6. But plot magic dragon sperm may also be a thing.
And you forgot about her whole 'break the wheel' speech
Take another lap TarleyI've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

Does the Night King want a queen?
Will the Night King turn Dany like he did to Crasters sons? Sure seems like the show has been making her less of a sympathetic character lately and, from a writer's perspective, it would resolve the succession conflict between her and Aegon. I've been thinking there's no way that both Dany and Aegon survive.
Discuss.

She's the mad queen.
But rhaegar is the night king, and i dont think hes trying to bone her, even though it is his sister. Hes going to winterfell to bring his ex back. And then jon will have to decide between killing his parents vs his human but shitty queen girlfriend.
