Ok here goes.
1) Jamie and the Tarlys, Jamie is pissed about the Queen of Thornes last words, he has to have thoughts now about Cersie and her motivations, Randall Tarly wanting flog soldiers is telling about his type of rule, fear and not just with Sam.
Olenna always cut to the chase and said it just as it was. Jamie has to realize there was a great deal of truth in her words. Joffrey was a monster and so is Cersei. Even Bronn questioned how bad it would be if Cersei wins. Randyll is a great commander, but he cares not for the soldiers. He has tunnel vision, unable to see Sam has much greater potential than Dickon. Although jokes aside, Rickon/Dickon, seems like a decent guy. Jamie will remember his name now.2) Cersie and the Iron Bank, seems she is count her Chickens ( not including the ones The Hound eats) before the Dragons have been put back in their eggs.
LOL! Cersei better not count the Hounds chickens. She will have both the Hound and Arya after her. Holy Shit!3) Littlefinger and Bran, Valerian Steel does not hurt Bran, Littlefinger trying to play Bran, Chaos is a Ladder, that's all I needed to hear, he is on to Littlefinger, and Littlefinger is now scared.
LF went on a fishing expedition and caught a monster. Bran, AKA Three Eyed Raven, let him talk and just listened. Four words and LF left pissing himself. LOL!4) Meera and Bran, Bran died in that cave, this seems to point to the Three Eyed Raven does not die, but simply fills another vessel, he remembers Bran Stark but is not him anymore.Sad.............
I cried the first time and still teared up the second watch. He remembers the feeling of Bran. I really hope he will continues hold that feeling close. I know he will never be Bran, but I hope he still feels a special connection to his family.5) Arya, it was cool seeing her come home, but she see's it has changed. Loved the simple side step of the guards, finding out that many are not there anymore I think bit her, no fear and willing to take on two guards, how the little Tomboy has changed and how she hasn't.
Ditto! Arya sparred with everyone this episode. We need a giggle in a series that is so dark. Episode 4, both Arya and Bronn provided us a giggle.6) Arya and Sansa, Sansa knew it was her listening to the guards and knowing she was going to the crypts, the circle has come all around with them, Sansa a Lady and Arya a Fighter, there is still a tension there, credit Sansa for trying to overcome it, although Sansa and everyone is underestimating Arya a lot, especially when she brings up her list, but their story isn't over yet I found interesting, foreshadowing that someone's might be?
Again, as with Bran/TER, I hope they learn to accept and embrace each other's gifts. They all now have gifts to offer for the future. I also found it very interesting that Arya pointed out their stories were still in progress. Very well may be foreshadowing. I'm praying all three Starks make it to the end. 7) Bran and the Girls, Bran giving the dagger to Arya and knowing what she is without disclosing it to Sansa, Arya not disclosing the rest of the names is also interesting, Littlefinger now has two Starks that know he is a traitor, liar and has a agenda, Dagger is meant to Kill Bran also is interesting in that Arya is a killer and he gave it to her, I really hope that the end doesn't mean she has to kill him with it. The fact that Arya asks why a cutthroat has a Valerian Steel Dagger and that Littlefinger probably would not give something so valuable to a common person raises another question, rich person and a rich person may hirer a faceless man who could pose as a cutthroat and could maybe have such a dagger. Also Sansa saying that Littlefinger isn't generous and that he would have to be getting something back. There is still more here to find out. Now the Starks have two Valerian steel weapons when they had none after Ice was made into two for the Lannister's which Breinne has one that's in house Stark also.
In the books Lysa had given the dagger to LF, but the series is not the books, so it may go a different direction. I don't mind that Brienne has one half of Ice, but I hope Jamie's half is returned to the Stark's. I think your right, more story on the dagger will unfold. Bran made it clear he was aware of Arya's story, he didn't hesitate giving the dagger to Arya.8)The look on Littlefinger seeing Arya, Sansa and Bran together, it seemed like he was now shifting gears if you ask me, he knows Arya saw him with Tywin, he knows Bran knows about his dealings with the Chaos is a ladder statement.
Ditto! 9) Missandei and Dani, Many things
Then Jon pops up...... Hmmm more things as in "That thing you do with your tongue" as Ygritte would say. We saw the look they gave each other Dani is looking for her new Dragon Rider
LOL! Do we think it will be weird when they both learn Jon is her nephew? Hey, maybe not at all. I'm still not sure I'm ready for this Tarmance. LOL!10) Jon and Dani Cave time, I think Danis believes now, but her saying to Jon don't let pride stop you is also something that Jon could say. The symbols I think are a warding of sorts, for what I am not sure yet. Jon made a good sell, and that overture I think struck home with Dani.Jon admitting he can't do it alone is learning from his mistakes, I have to wonder if he did as they cut away, because of what happens after they cut away.
Ditto!11) Dani and Jon and everyone on the beach, she asked for his advice, hmmm right after they had that conversation Then saying they should stay when Davos asked if they should leave. Jon again endeared himself by pointing out how it would look and history. The echo of impossible things happen, he is also one that made the impossible happen.
I'm fighting it, but they are the ultimate power couple. I must say they do compliment each other, both having different good, strong traits. Will they both make to the end? As much as I hope they do, Jon was brought back because he was still needed, but what happens when he fullfill's his purpose? Hard hard, sad sad..... 12) Breinne and Arya, another underestimation of Arya from someone who has been underestimated, Arya 3 Breinne 0, No One taught her
Arya is just plain fucking bad ass, she measured herself against the best fighter she has seen who beat the Hound and beat her three times not to mention the would be wounds on her arm and leg she would have inflected.
Ditto! She is BadAss!13) Sansa and Littlefinger watching, Sansa now know that this Arya is nothing to mess with, Littlefinger on the other hand had a look of bewilderment, he looked scared and like he was not expecting what he saw, he also knows the look Arya gave him was something that he is not used to being on that end of.\
LOL! LF can hide under Sansa's skirt, but me thinks it won't help. LF's schemes have landed him at the mercy of those he deeply wounded. Soon it will be time to pay for Ned and Cat.14) Lol Davos and Jon talking about Jon attraction to Dani, Missandei and the fact they don't marry and there are no bastards where she come from, hmmm.
Interesting! Dany told Jon she was the last Targaryen, but me thinks Bran and Sam will learn the opposite......15) Jon and Theon, well they got it out of the way, I think a few bitch slaps would have been warranted though.
LOL!16) Field of Fire, Rickon no Dickon cracked me up lol, Bronn has some of the best lines, Bronn knew they were in trouble right way asking Jamie to leave when he saw the Dorthaki. Dani kicked some serious ass, Drogon got a wound but they will be watching I hope for those Scorpions next time, the special effects were terrific of the Dragon ride as well as the battle, remember that was just one Dragon. Dani could not have caught Jamie at a worst time, open field after a battle. Bronn showed how smart he is, leaving the gold, others would have lost their life for it. Besides now Jamie owes him twice as much.
Ditto! We really do need a few light moments.17) Tyrion he obviously torn seeing his house decimated, god Dani does pissed off on a Dragon good, Watching Jamie charge at Dani with that spear, I could not catch what Tyrion said prior to when Jamie was charging and you fucking idiot. Brave though.... Bronn I think saved him.
Jamie was sinking to the bottom with his heavy armor, Bronn wasn't wearing armor, he should be able to pull Jamie back to the surface.It was such a good episode, there are loose ends being slowly being tied into knots now, Littlefingers neck in one. Thankfully we see in the Previews for next week that Drogon is fine.
I was thinking about the phrase Meera said that Bran died in the cave. Think about it, Bran really died as we know him, Jon actually died, Arya did she die, she drank from the pool and it healed her body after the fight with the Waif, Sansa, the star struck Girl lost that innocence and that girl died, now she is more Lady Stoneheart and Cersie than that girl.
Speaking of next week and the previews, what is Varys trying to do, saying we have to figure out how to control her?
That's it for now.
