"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

However I'm really pissed that Arya never used a face this season and never killed anyone with green eyes.

Ok, some actual thoughts.

  • making your mystical shaman-type person king is a bad idea. Nobody does that.

  • the North is gonna break away and Dorne isn't? Right.

  • hey, let's come out of decades of wars of succession by having officially making each succcession a free for all! I'm sure it will all stay civil debate and no one will be killing anyone.

I am kind of pleased that none of the prophecies came to much of anything in the end.

Herding cats for fun

Ghost got petted. Jon and Tormund ride again.

Drogon decided not to flame broil his Mom's killer and settled for melting the Iron Throne into slag and nobody gets to sit there. It looked like he was saying, if it weren't for this thing she wouldn't have gone all crazy.

Arya goes off for a life of adventure and Sansa wins the Throne of the North. Right on. My inner fan girl is happy.

What is even happening?

I liked (or understood/approved of) everyone's fate, except maybe Jon's. Well, his fate was fine; I thought his sentence was bullshit. He killed a genocidal maniac.

I wasn't crazy about the execution of the episode. Very slow. The scene with Tyrion rearranging chairs made me keep looking at the clock.

Overall though, I am please. Dh is not. I feel sorry for him, because he was a much more regular fan than I was.

This.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Arya sails off into the Uttermost West? Where have I heard that one again?

the North is gonna break away and Dorne isn't? Right.

I was thinking the same thing!

Also, how are the Followers of the Faith going to feel, especially so soon after their Pope was murdered, about having a devout follower of the old gods be their new king? He's probably going to have a weirwood tree planted in King Landing!

Also, so now Sam is now the head of House Tarly, and also the Grand Maester? How is that supposed to work?
