Whens the last time we saw someone in Westeros properly mourn a dead friend or loved one?
The Starks have never shed tears (onscreen at least) over their murdered brothers or brutally exsanguinated mother.
Cersei stared straight out into the abyss after Tommen leapt from that window.
Jon Snow shed a few tears over Ygrittes body long ago, but clammed up right after.
So heres how all that went down.
(She doesnt even seem to mind those flat-ironed man bangs!)
longing finally confirmed what weve all been assuming this whole time.
The first is that this is, quite literally, a life-or-death decision for Jaime.
Its no wonder Brienne wants him to stay put, snuggled up under those cozy furs with her.
Those wide grins and guffaws during Tyrions slightly-abridged version of Never Have I Ever are proof of that.
(And it isnt a given that Jaime has ridden south to defend Cersei from death at Daeneryss hands.
), Sansa has learned better than anyone that she can set wheels turning from behind the scenes.
Daenerys, understandably riddled with grief, stands by silently.
But her fury is righteous and understandable.
What kind of person climbs on a fucking dragon?
Tormund yells during the feast, A madman or a king!
No wonder shes pissed!
And Daenerys is delusional if she thinks things can be the way it was between us.
This is the set-up thats been brewing for two full seasons now.
All the Dothraki but a few are dead, too.
All of which brings us to Daenerys exceedingly terrible battle plans.
Would it really have been so easy to hide an entire fleet just behind some cliffs?
Im no seaman, but Im guessing no.
Was it a misstep to kill Missandei?
But her death also robs Daenerys of her last-remaining advisor from her early Dothraki days.
There is no check on her worst tendencies now.
I know this because Ive seen it.
… Youve always loved your children) shouldnt have saved him.
Its heartbreaking to see Grey Worms face crumble when Missandeis head goes spinning off.
But even more distressing is Daenerys determined grimace.
Her claim to the throne is lesser, her ability to woo the typical Westerosi lower.
But weve known for some time that the world ofGame of Thronesisnt a gender utopia.
Cocks, the eunuch knowingly replies, are important, Im afraid.
Its not a truth we like, but its probably the truth we deserve.
Its too long for I love you.
Cue the lip-reading friend from that excellentSeinfeld.
On that note, the with Iain Glenn credit in the openers had me tricked, dammit.
Suddenly Daenerys is wearing red (her house color).
WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS.
Bran is essentially, all of LA at their wheat-germiest.
Isnt he exhausted from travel?
Perhaps thirsty for a horn of ale?
What in the seven hells kind of plot line is this?
(Sidenote: You boys are a pair of gold-plated cunts is an excellent line.)
Gilly is pregnant, which is nice.
There are apparently no seats on any ships built in Westeros in the past 30 years.
As I have pointed out numerous times (excuse me, Messrs. Weiss and Benioff!)
everyone just keeps standing awkwardly for entire sea voyages.
This episode it was Missandei and Grey Worm.
She tells him shes having his baby (Important: She is not.)
Is this how we say goodbye to Tormund?
Will we see him again?
Honestly I think hed be insulted by that kind of paltry domesticated-dog b.s.
Brienne has literally never glanced his way with anything other than contempt.
FINALLY SOMEONE CONFIRMS THATMY IRRITATION ABOUT THE INCEST PROBLEMIS JUSTIFIED.
Ill take my winnings in Braavosi coinage, thank you very much.
