GOT season 7 episode 5! East watch

Submitted by jdon on

Whats up?  

After last weeks episode I am expecting the action to continue right from the begining to end.

I realized we only have three episodes left this year, so does that mean next week is the 'surprise' week?  Personally I expect non stop action...

I'm still hoping Jamie ends up on the throne!

I'm praying Tormund survives!

in the narrative. The Hound would never have submitted to imprisonment without severe damage/resistance.  That they were detained without a scratch to any of them, is not all that believable.  But the show needs to gloss over reasonable details to get to the end game, I suppose.

It's a bit weird to have had such deliberate pacing for six seasons and now essentially be at breakneck speed.

it's too bad that those kinds of encounters have to be glossed over and left to the imagination at this pace.

How good could a scene have been with Beric, the Hound and the brotherhood without banners approaching Eastwatch and confronting Giantsbane, whether it was hostile or a negotiation or whatever?

And yes, it is still a major stretch that the Hound willingly, peacefully walked into a jail cell for it to be locked indefinitely.

don't know about that. This is not the stickiest situation Littlefinger has ever been in. It is impossible to tell where his loyalties lie, nor am I sure Sansa hasn't bought his pitch on some level. I still think he is one to watch. That sneaky son of a bitch can wreak absolute havoc given the right circumstances, and he also appears to know Jon's heritage. It would likely not please the Dragon queen at all that he, and not her, possesses the best Targaryn claim to the throne. Daenarys does not appear to accept any claim that she is not the rightful heir to the throne all that kindly. Contrary to popular belief, I don't think she intends on "sharing" anything with anybody.

what role could he possibly have moving forward? His ultimate goal was to marry a stark and sit on the iron throne. that aint happening in the time left... he dead

It would also be stupid. This is a show that has the bad people winning 90% of the time. This is cliché, but someone good will be crowned king or queen. I cannot see a villain winning the throne. It has to be either Jon or Daenerys.

Yeah it's obviously Jon's story and they made that extra clear last night. LF isn't gonna make it but I'm hopeful they can have the good guys win and not have it be too trope-y.

Then again, there are just too many deus ex machinas right now between dragons, Raven Bran, Arya Face/Offs and Sam reading something very important in a book.

is an agent of everyone and no one, at all times.  And yes, he absolutely could be in touch with Cersei already about his current plot.

I wonder if at any point Jaime and Cersei will realize that he was the one working with Olenna to kill Joffrey and get Sansa out of King's Landing.  My guess is that won't be addressed in the show.

What is hype may never die! Holy shit so hyped for Jon and his all star raiding party to kick some ass! 

Also the definitive R+L=J reveal by Gilly was awesome-- with Rhaegar and Lyanna actually being married, Jon has a better claim to the throne than Dany.. not that he's gonna want it. 

Gendry with Robert's hammer is too awesome as well! Other interesting tidbit is that Robert killed Rhaegar at the Battle of the Trident, so who knows if/when Jon finds out his parentage I wonder if he and Gendry will ever talk about that with their newfound bromance

Agreed, this is just a way to manipulate Jamie and keep him loyal to her.  Also no way she knew Tyrion was in the city and she didn't try to kill him. That does not match her character at all.

Yeah...I don't think that is the exact hammer, too. Like someone else mentioned - how could he possibly have gotten it? There is no plausible chance.

I didn't notice anyone talking about Drogon and Jon. That was quite cool. Drogon knows. Daenerys is clearly puzzled why that happened. Too bad Drogon doesn't speak English.

I can't wait for it to revealed that Tyrion is a Targaryen and the half brother of Dany. There has been three characters with a connection to the dragons. Dany obvious, Tyrion confirmed last season when he freed the two dragons kept underneath Mareen, and Jon last night. I totally buy the Joanna Lannister/Mad King theory.

That theory makes much sense. Tywin said right before Tyrion killed him, "You're no son of mine." Tywin knew he was going to be killed, so he felt the need to finally get that off his chest.

Remember when Tyrion asked for his birthright of Casterly Rock? Tywin said he tolerates Tyrion "because there is no way to prove that you're not mine." He could have suspected his true parentage all along. But couldn't speak out against it due to Aerys willingness to kill everyone at even the slightest hint of criticism or plotting. And since he couldn't go public with it, he didn't want to murder someone that the entire realm believes to be his son and earn a title of kinslayer or kidslayer. Especially after Jaime earned the kingslayer moniker. Tywin is all about legacy. He wouldn't kill Tyrion unless he had proof. Also why it's hilarious he died on the shitter.

That's a good point. I guess I just see Tywin as likely to be really direct and really efficient if he had decided to off Tyrion once Tyrion's mom was dead (which was at his birth). No reason to raise him to adulthood if he held him in such contempt as his non-son.

It felt like that got majority short shrifted.

Here comes Dany roaring in on Drogon to scare the shot out of Jon and get him to bend the knee and he goes and makes a new friend, that should have started a longer conversation o on, I get the writers aren't ready to have Jon find out his heritage just yet, but that needed more exploration.
