Now, as far as pushing little kids out windows, maybe Bran forgives him.. or really doesn't care anymore since it set him on the path to make him 3ER .. and it's all trivial now compared to what's coming.

Isnt "Bran" really gone at this point though? He's really the 3ER now and knows everything that happened to Bran, but I can't see him taking any more than a simply objective view of events at this point.

That's why as funny as it was that Bran was just waiting for Jamie, it wasn't really Bran. It was just the 3ER waiting for another piece of the puzzle to show up..

Save for sending Bronn to kill his two best friends, I was fine with the episode. I’d give it an 8 out of 10. It wasn’t bad or anything, but that’s a retarded way to unite Bronn with Jaime and Tyrion. Just have Bronn leave with Jaime at the end of Season 7. I think a zombie apocalypse should be enough for Bronn to fight for something besides money.

The only part of that episode I disliked was hiring Bronn to kill Jaime and Tyrion.


They had to keep Bronn and Cersei apart due to the actors’ contracts.

And based on the whining flatheads posting in this thread, that has been a wise investment. The "public" spoke, and they've delivered.

Honestly, this show has given me some of the best entertainment I've ever received. I really don't mind if it spends the rest of its days torturing the idiots and pseudo-intellectuals. The disappointment trolls (or whatever you call that) are annoying, but it's worth it to see the truly let down lose their minds over incest and dragon stuff.


well let me be clear, as i posted yesterday, i am just watching so i know what happens. i'm not excited or am anticipating watching it

i'm also trying really hard not to overly shite on the episode. i've had 2 clusters of posting (last night before bed and this morning) and i'm not going to be adding much unless the thread gets interesting later

Cersei is truly alone in king's landing. There is no fricking telling what she actually has planned with Bronn. She is becoming the Mad King 2.0


Exactly, which will make Jaime killing her all the more poetic.

i just disagree

now to go back to my point #1, this is the "bad world/scenario" that D/D have created. in THAT world, they do

NK assumed that people would come seeking out the Umbers after no showing.

unless the NK is weirwood-netted into the great hall at winterfell, how would he know that? that only makes sense if he and bran are connected, which might explain it


To me, they don't have to have a motivation to leave the symbol because it's something they've commonly done throughout the series. We've seen these symbols arranged by the dead several times, most of which were not with the intended purpose of any particular individual seeing them. I think they do it as a baser instinct.

She needs a daddy for that baby in her belly.

She's already said that she'll proudly tell everyone that it's Jaime's. But I guess that's changed since she wants Bronn to kill him. The look on her face after Euron said he'd knock her up did seem to indicate that you're right.

I feel like Jon is going to withhold that information for a while. Doesn't seem like Jon to detract from the ultimate goal of defeating the White Walkers.


While I somewhat agree with that, we've also seen Jon show zero tact or fluff. He's a straight shooter and he will definitely act awkward around Danny with this new info.

Are we even sure Cersei is pregnant? The witch told her she would only have 3 children and they would all die. This baby would be a 4th child. I'm thinking she was faking it to manipulate Jaime/Tyrion.

She could die before she gives birth.

So if she’s pregnant, she has well less than 9 months to live.

As for Jaime. As much as I love his story arc, I so want him to walk over to Bran and say “did you know I was about to do this?” Then put his sword through his forehead.

You magnificent bastard. That's how Bran gets a third eye socket!

I’m just worried they’ll keep Bran in the wings. Make him stay quiet and unassuming, only dropping hints and facts when he HAS to do it.


I disagree. Besides the fact that it wouldn’t make very good TV if Bran just spoiled everything, part of his power is seeing not just to future, but all future possibilities. I think that he knows exactly how what he does or doesn’t say would affect everything, so he’s also following a specific plan for himself.
