I loved this episode but it was like "all those people who are having sweet moments are gonna bite the big one next week" parade. Theon is 100% earmarked for redemptive death while trying to protect Bran. Greyworm is toast (unless the dead rise in the crypt and it's Missandei who gets it). Jorah? Reconciles with his kinswoman AND gets a Valyrian sword? Deadinsky. And I am just super duper worried that Brienne is going to die because how fucking touching was that knighting scene? I might have cried a little. HER FACE. That proud smile! Jaime's solemn yet tender delivery of the ceremonial words!
Also on the chopping block: Tormund, Beric, possibly The Hound. Actually pretty much everyone around that fireplace including Davos (wahhh) and Pod (NO!).
I still think Arya and Tyrion have relative A-character deathproof armour, unless they all die in the final episode, which could happen.
The Hound CANNOT die because CLEGANEBOWL.
It could be UNDEAD CLEGANEBOWL
Somebody remind me, what happened to the Red Woman again?
Jon Snow banninated her for practicing blood magic without a license. But she'll be back, because she foretold it.
The knighting was so lovely. I also loved the little throwaway scene of Sansa and Theon sitting together and chatting like comfortable old friends..
I thought there was a lot to love. I saw criticism of the episode being too slow, but if half these people are going to die in the next one, I'm happy to spend a little mellow time with them.
I forgot to mention how much I loved the Ser Davos scene with Gilly and the little girl. Ser Davos is one of my absolute favorite characters.
I find that I'm saying private goodbyes to all the characters I liked. (Though at this point I like most of them.)
Me, too. And I have some odd favorites! Like Bronn!
