Yeah, it's just a beware of spoilers post.
Dont think Highgarden is/should be a priority. She bloody cant go to Kings Landing cause she doesnt have the ships or the men. She needs to ally with the North ASAP.
She has to somehow defeat Euron and his fleet outside of Kings Landing. Because if she was to hit KL, then there is a chance her dragons can die with those fecking huge crossbows. That coupled with going up with Lannister plus the Greyjoys would be hard. So if she somehow defeats Euron at sea, then when she hits KL even if her dragons die, her dothraki and the North can defeat Cersei.
He's been burnt before when he threw a lantern at a Wight.All this talk of scrolls etc to prove Jon Snow's Targeryan lineage?
The fecker is asbestos. He will walk out of a bonfire or put a candle out by pinching it, or something.
Whipping his cock out at a wienie roast, holding it over the fire and not get it burnt to crisp.All this talk of scrolls etc to prove Jon Snow's Targeryan lineage?

Not the entire army though. Firstly she cant afford to send men to Highgarden. Secondly she will lose men during the battle. Finally she will have to use those surviving to hold down the fort at Highgarden. Just like how Jaime thought it was worthless to capture Casterly Rock, Dany should think it be worthless to recapture Highgarden. Her focus should be on getting rid of Euron's fleet to level the playing field.Yeah she needs the North but the chance to crush the Lannister army is too big to miss. They are at Highgarden.
1) To be fair, this was actually a clever callback and not just plot convenience. I can't remember when he said it, but there is an exchange in an earlier season when Tyrion says that he was in charge of the sewers at Casterly Rock.I thought it was very good overall. Characters were actually allowed space to breath and it didn't hinder plot progression. The hoary ideas and off pitch dialogue were kept to a minimum - or at least they were less noticeable. The story plotting at this stage seems pretty free-form, often silly and slightly contradictory but if they honour the spirit of the characters as they did here on the whole, then I really don't care. I think you can get away with Tyrion building a big secret hole in an impenetrable fortress if the lives and motivations of the characters are worth investing in. (1) Here they were. The Dany and Jon scenes had a few clunky moments but also some really good ones (I was surprised). I like the pirate guy; that type of wild vulgarity has been missing from the show. The final scene was very nice, reminding us that Jamie had an interesting dynamic once.
It was unusual in this iteration of the show to see so many of the better actors given extended screen time to act, rather than just show up. Tyrion, Davos, Jamie, Varys, Olenna. Even little finger got more than a sneery look. More of this.
My only strong dislike is having Cersie forever having to top her previous levels of villainy in the style of the Saw films, where deminishing returns meet elaborately contrived empty sadism. Yawn. (2)
Aye he's playing the part well, so much so that I kind of want him to winI love Euron, hes psychotic in a hilarious way. Pilou Asbaek is charismatic as feck, far cry from everything after his debut on the rope bridge in season six.
His interactions with Jamie have been fantastic.I love Euron, hes psychotic in a hilarious way. Pilou Asbaek is charismatic as feck, far cry from everything after his debut on the rope bridge in season six.
I loved his advice seeking dialogue with Jaime. That was hilarious. I was about to get Jaime some cold water to address his burn!I love Euron, hes psychotic in a hilarious way. Pilou Asbaek is charismatic as feck, far cry from everything after his debut on the rope bridge in season six.
This will surely be the most watched finale of a TV series hands down, easily beating Seinfeld and Friends.If you think about it, we only have about 10 episodes left. Thats a sad prospect
Will be interesting how its calculated. Cos there will defo be more streams going on for this. But also it will be split between those who watch it live vs those who watch it the next day (as is the case right now).This will surely be the most watched finale of a TV series hands down, easily beating Seinfeld and Friends.
You think a series which is currently getting around 10m viewers for its penultimate season will jump up to 50m for its final episode?This will surely be the most watched finale of a TV series hands down, easily beating Seinfeld and Friends.
I didn't take to him until his line on Theon's escape.I love Euron, hes psychotic in a hilarious way. Pilou Asbaek is charismatic as feck, far cry from everything after his debut on the rope bridge in season six.
Doubt it. The days of a TV show getting Seinfeld finale numbers are gone. Don't think GOT has got the mass appeal of Seinfeld or Friends either.This will surely be the most watched finale of a TV series hands down, easily beating Seinfeld and Friends.
It won't, it's on HBOThis will surely be the most watched finale of a TV series hands down, easily beating Seinfeld and Friends.
Other than the cheesy as feck riding the plank whilst growling entrance to the ship battle, Euron has probably been the best part of this season so far.I love Euron, hes psychotic in a hilarious way.

Which script?A script and potentially episodes have been stolen, and are likely to be leaked. The script is already floating about if the news sites are correct.
For one of the upcoming episodes. Not sure which, I'm not looking for it. Just wanted to let you all know.Which script?
Might be the one mentioned on the previous page.For one of the upcoming episodes. Not sure which, I'm not looking for it. Just wanted to let you all know.
It is indeed the same. Missed that post, apologies.Might be the one mentioned on the previous page.
Okay?I don't care Karl Tanner takes anyone in a 1 on 1
That bamboozled me too. Thought he was referencing Billy from black sails who's hench, so I popped Carl Tanner into Google. Turns out he's an American opera singer which didn't help.Okay?
Easily?! haha. Can't speak for Seinfield but you must not have been around for Friends - every cnut on the planet seemed to watch it.This will surely be the most watched finale of a TV series hands down, easily beating Seinfeld and Friends.
The whole season has been leaked a while ago.A script and potentially episodes have been stolen, and are likely to be leaked. The script is already floating about if the news sites are correct.

Googling the correct spelling didn't help that much either, that guy got got pretty early on
Friends averaged roughly the same throughout its run (without reruns), but obviously never had to deal with piracy. It wouldn't surprise me if you could add another 50% to GoT's number and the two would come out fairly even. And that's only in the US. Worldwide, GoT is miles bigger than Friends ever was.The fact that Game of Thrones is hugely popular should come as a shock to no one; the widespread dismay over next year’s shortened season alone should be enough to indicate how hooked we all are. But if it felt like Game of Thrones made leaps and bounds in popularity last summer, with its will-he/won’t-he Jon Snow cliff-hanger dominating the cultural conversation, that’s because it did. The fate of Kit Harington—and some other factors—grew the Game of Thrones audience by a whopping 25 percent this year.
Deadline reports that when accounting for repeat airings, DVR, HBO Go, HBO Now, and HBO on Demand together, Game of Thrones averaged an insane 25.1 million viewers for its sixth season. And that’s not even counting the record-breaking number of people who watched the season illegally through online torrents. Going by HBO’s numbers, Game of Thrones appears to have even beaten out ratings juggernauts like The Big Bang Theory and Sunday Night Football. The Walking Dead—taking a slight live-ratings hit from last year— drew in 18.4 million total viewers for its divisive Season 6 finale. Factoring in later online views, the AMC show’s numbers are flat and lack the massive growth of the HBO series.
The disparity in growth between Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead may have something to do with the zombie drama’s lack of momentum in recent seasons. Though that series tried to amp up the stakes with a number of deathly twists last year, the show has inevitably become a bit repetitive with Rick Grimes and his crew clashing and escaping from zombies week in and week out. Game of Thrones, on the other hand, has already announced a likely end date and is clearly building towards some kind of spectacular conclusion.
HBO’s chairman and C.E.O. Richard Plepler chalks up the growing popularity of Thrones to the network’s recent efforts to move into online platforms. “These record audiences reflect the options we have built into our business model over the last few years,” he said. “Combining the convenience of HBO on Demand and HBO Go with the subscription flexibility of HBO Now, our programming is being exposed to an ever growing audience.”
We’ll see if a delayed Season 7 does anything to put a dent in the show’s popularity. (It probably won’t.) If anything, I’d imagine that the less-crowded TV landscape of summer will make Game of Thrones even more inescapably popular.
The guy with knives right? Jon Snow killed him with an assist from someone else I think.He is the brother of the Night's Watch who killed/started a rebellion at Krasters Keep calling him a bastard.
Had the better of Jon snowI don't care Karl Tanner takes anyone in a 1 on 1
So why did Snow stop Sir Davos saying it?
