Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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

Aside from the fact that Dany and her fleet did not spot an enemy armada on a clear day when they had air surveillance, can I just note how ridiculous it is that Euron hit a dragon's undulating neck three times from 300 feet away when they clearly could have never practiced on a moving target before? So noted.

I'm ready to stipulate that anything involving Show!Euron is bad and wrong.

Hey. New board.

Mostly I thought this episode was fine. I don't judge Brienne for crying that what she thought was a chance for happiness turned out to be a lie. I'm not surprised Jaime is still a conflicted murderous rapist when it comes to Cersei, no matter how woobied. I'm glad Arya and hound are together so she can do the mercy kill after Cleganebowl injures him fatally; I think that will end her arc and I'm okay with that. Sansa was extra spiteful this episode which I DID find annoying, they can't figure out what to do with her. Tyrion told Varys because Tyrion secretly agrees with him, I think; it was maybe a mistake but Tyrion's confidence has always outstripped his actual success, just like Jon. He really, REALLY doesn't want Innocents to die, and I think he will find a way to stop it. The dragon dying is a good thing - stakes need to be up and dragons being vulnerable matters for that, and he was injured and surprised, so I'm okay with him being hittable.

Wasn't the cleanest or best ep by any means but it was better than Dorne and I'm intrigued by some of the setup.

Maybe he ran the artillerists through drills with big kites on very windy days?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

And then failed to even graze Drogon who was much, much closer and had many, many more giant arrows aimed at him.

The point there is that Tyrion was informing Knockoff Jack Sparrow that he wasn't really the babydaddy. Sowing discord and whatnot.

Oh, I understand the point of Tyrion doing it, I just don't believe that Crazyface has enough self-control to not have flipped his shit right there instead of having enough guile to wait until he could talk to Ceresi privately.

Because books.

I really want to see if there's an actual baby. I think she's playing both Euron and Jaime. I'm not even sure Jaime believes her.

I also felt like Dany's plea to Jon came off as pure manipulation (not that he would ever notice). I mean, I think she likes him a lot, but she went way over the top describing her feelings for him, which are, what, a week old? Plus, I think she might have been covering her bases. That scene came right after witnessing the huge Jon love-in at the feast. In a pinch, she might figure she needs him to rule.

Can the Drowned God bring back dragons? That would be interesting.

What is even happening?

There's not enough time, but it could be hilarious if Cercei was just going through the change.

I'm assuming she's just lying, because having babies has always been a good source of power for her and she has always lied about some aspect of the pregnancies.
