    I was surprised they finally showed that in a battle scene. Pretty brave considering our sensitive society.

    Did people note it was a Dothraki warrior who cut the horse's leg? They honor and worship horses...as well as eat them

    I believe this show will be like the final season of Battlestar Galactica. We're going to see some beloved characters die, and probably their deaths won't be pleasant.

    There is no way this series finishes with anything approaching a happy ending. My theory is the last shot is the Night King sitting on the Iron Throne.

    I can honestly say that I have no idea how this show will end, other than I agree with you that it won't be a happy ending.

    Maybe Cersei will remain on the Iron Throne and defeat everyone/thing

    Well, the Lannister dragon killing catapult seems to be mostly a dud. It will take one hell of a lucky shot to kill one of her dragons, never mind if all three are there and attacking at the same time.

    The two main writers (D&D) apparently have most of the scripts vetted and ok'd by Martin.

    Hopefully that means his end-vision is intact for the most part. Did you read about the Hodor episode? He was instrumental in writing it because at that point they had eclipsed the books. He said he always had the Hodor origin story and wanted to ensure it appeared. Have to think the endgame for the TV series is being handled the same way.

    A lot of people on the net put down the crossbow and made fun of it. I'm in the other camp. They had only one, never before used, and it hit a dragon and hurt it during the first battle. Normal arrows and swords weren't doing much If they could somehow disguise 10 or 20 of them and get them to shoot at the same time, who knows?

    A certain balancing is taking place on both sides. At first it looked liked Dany's forces could not be stopped and would easily take over Westoros in one episode. Then Cersie's forces roll over Highgarden and Euron's fleet decimates Yara and Theon's. Then add one dragon and some Dothrakis, Cersei's forces are now hooped and we're back thinking Dany has got this thing.

    I really like seeing tactical situations like the Unsullied being screwed at Casterly Rock because of an intelligent move on the other side.

    I can't help but like the guy now. When he finally explained to Brienne in about season three or whenever they were caught, about why he killed the mad king...I was sold.

    I suspect him and Cersei are headed to a confrontation, and one of them will die.

    You've heard the expression 'plot armor', meaning the character is too important to die on the show? No one has plot armor on this show, there ain't no dumpsters in Westoros

    Pod is great

    Remember how he had some secret sexual power over the women and whores? I really wish they would have showed a scene with him and Brienne after having sex, her smoking and looking exhausted, him with a little smile on his face.

    How about this...Cersei is converted by the Night King and we get to see her with that wicked smile as a White Walker? The Night Queen *shivers*

    I'm not sure how the White Walker thing works though. When they get to warmer climates do they melt or become weaker?

    That's a good question...did they make it all the way to Dragonstone where the cave paintings were or did someone see them and travel all that way south and paint them there?

    That's a good question as well. The White Walkers and Children of the Forest couldn't have traveled that far south, could they?

    Guy who runs the recap site says - How does Dany know Jon just didn't take out the magic marker and create those images
