Awesome start to the episode with Arya fucking some shit up. Thought she was going to butcher Ed's merry crew but it just ended in awkward laughter.
A whole bunch of scene setting after that, which is fair enough. Hope it ramps up next week.
And yes the white walker giants look a scary prospect, setting up for some absolute carnage.

Solid first episode. Some quality banter and happy to see things moving along. Dragon's have been on a bulk and were looking mean as.
So do we think Sheeran and co got their beans?
I think Arya was going to off them, but this lot of Lannister soldiers seem to have touched her human side.
Obviously I didn't recognise this Sheeran guy, but that unfortunate looking fella who made the wine looks very familiar. Where have I seen him before....
-
The Hound is a GC, scenes with him are top notch.
Things slowly coming together, even just geographically now too with Arya just up the road from giving Cersei some needle.

I thought it was dull as dull that episode apart from that chick smoking that village. Does she need to kill the person she can morph into? If so, it is likely she will ahve to kill one of that small troop to get in to get at the queen?
-
@taniwharugby yes she did, took me a little while to cotton on to what was happening when I saw him alive at the start of this episode...
@Hooroo yeah I think she does, to take their face, so maybe she'll sneak into the Red Keep as Ed Sheeran.
-
We know she can copy dead people's faces - but maybe only where she has access to the body?? given we know she topped Frey before that dinner where she offed the rest. How gnarly would it be to show up in Cersei's chambers as Tommen and then give her the needle - that kind of twisted stuff is your everyday bread and butter on GOT!

And the drummer from Coldplay was in the band at the Red Wedding. I just struggled with the fact a random band of soldiers ends up having a bunch of GC's (hardly a Lannister trait) and a really talented singer. Guess they had to make an effort to set Arya up with a moral quandary.

We re-watched a bunch of episodes ahead of the new season. Bronn and Tyrion are a fantastic combo. Their banter is right up there with the Hound and Arya.

Bronn is cool.
Have you read the books? He's arguably even cooler.
They should make a series about young Bronn. Id farking watch that.

was watching on Foxtel Go. It crashed the "Live TV" bit. Then the "on-demand" bit crashed a couple of minutes from the end. Thought at the time, and was confirmed today, everyone in Australia was trying to use the same thing at the same time.
And down she goes Trev.
Foxtel, in a completely unprecedented move for a Murdoch empire company, is trying to shift blame to HBO.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I have read them, but ages ago now. Bronn is a cracking character - a back story series would be cool, if they can find someone with the same swagger and presence. Jerome Flynn is epic!
May start a re-read soon, but the tv and books are getting further and further apart. Not always big stuff, but enough to give each their own flavour I reckon. Although Martin has kept the tv guys pretty close on the next stages. Maybe we'll see things align again for the ending.
Can I get a reminder on who was in that house that the Hound and co stayed in. I know he topped a dude earlier on, when he was escorting Arya. But couldn't work out the connection in the latest episode.
-
@Paekakboyz I thought it was just people that had been there when he was there (maybe the owners?), I dont recall the people being of any significance.

I think he worked for the guy and then stole his silver. That's why he was so guilty.

One thing that was a bit disappointing with this episode was that Dragonstone was undefended. Even with Stannis dead, he would have kept a garrison there (in the books it's taken back by Loras with appalling casualties). So there was major potential to see the Dothraki, Unsullied, Dragons etc. in early action. Shame.
But due to Sam's discovery it seems Dragonstone will play a big part in taking out the WW. Will be interesting to see the dynamics behind that.
Oh yeah another thing. Sansa seemed extremely cold towards Little Finger. He appears weak but at the end of the day he holds all the power with the Vale forces. If she rebuffs his advances then flip a coin over what he'll do.

The hound stayed there with Arya back in season 4, he assaulted the father to steal his silver.
Arya called him a shit but the Hound said it doesnt matter, they will be dead by winter. Which of course he was right about. -
@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah was good to see Sansa keeping him at arms length.
Yeah the Dragonstone thing was a bit weird, even if there was no one to 'run' it, someone would have moved in, squatters at the very least, surely.
Aside from Bran, anyone else know about the blood ties between Dany & Jon? Tyrion is likely to know, seems to know everything that little fucker!
