That is SO the end game I want from both the show and the books, though since GRRM never gives me what I want, I don't expect it.
But in my headcanon, all hail The Queen in the North!
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm not happy about that.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
NOOOOO SIR BARRISTAN *cries*
I should have seen that coming when he and Dany had that lovely scene together. Goddammit.
Except next week: Release the dragons!
Also, that scene with Stannis and Shireen made me tear up a little, I won't lie. I felt indifferent to Stannis in the books (I've only read the first 3) but Stephen Dillane is doing an amazing job in the role.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That was a lovely scene.
Also: BARRISTAAAAAAAN.

Completely agree, Vonnie.
That was quite a fight, though - Grey Worm and Whitebeard vs the Sons of the Harpy.
I'm a little concerned about what Shereen having the blood of the king means to the Red Woman at this point.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, apparently we DO care about Rhaegar and Lyanna. I wonder if Melisandre saw that in the flames.
"That's Tarth." I love it when a show ships my ship.
As soon as that ending sequence started, I knew it would be bad for one or both of those two.
I'm very worried for Shireen, but I do think that Stannis would go to the mat for her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Of course we do!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There are any number of similar bits of history that have either been only vaguely mentioned or have not been mentioned at all. The conversations we got in this episode seemed very much like "We're just gonna put these dots here. No reason. Connect them? Why would you think that? That's silly." So I have to think there will be Relevance.

Trust that instinct. It's really the only narratively sound choice.
