Other comments:
-I’m surprised Reek didn’t get a fist full of Jon’s anger when they meet. And yes, His name will be Reek till he grows some balls ( too soon to mention his manhood?) and finally does something respectable.

This episode is without a doubt Game of Thrones’ defining moment for season 7. It had everything you wanted.
Break dancing swordsmanship? Check

Little Finger almost pissing his pants? Check.

Dragon aerial assault? Check!

I loved it when Bran using Little Finger’s “Famous Chaos” is a Ladder line. Those words utter by Little Finger were his defining moments , and the reason why so many people felled in love with Little Finger. The fact bran used those words is a warning to Little Finger that he will not be able to Bran as he likes.
I’m not going to lie. The first part of this episode was ridiculously slow, and had me unimpressed. However it picked it with that epic stamped of Dothrakis mounted horses. This battle spelled doom for Jamie and company the second we saw grown men riding horses like surfboards. Showing off one’s rowdo skills before battle is a high indicator of what it means to be cocky.


Despite being shot with Cersei’ dragon harpon, I knew Drogon was gonna be just ok. The only way I can see Daenerys’s Dragons being taken down is if Cersei has 100 more of those “scorpions” lined with poison. Also, the way Jamie was charging at Daenerys spooked me. I actually like Jamie and I didn’t want him to die. ( The Game of Thrones fan base doesn’t deserve any more heartbreaking deaths)
The only major lowlight of this episode was Jon showing off dragon glass and some primitive artwork. The whole scene was pointless and I doubt it will play a major part of the plot. The main reason why I disliked this part was the opportunity to develop serious chemistry between Daenerys and Jon. And Davos pointing out Jon has staring at Daenerys the same way I stare at a crush is a lame and lazy way to introduce that chemistry. Well, at least for Game of Thrones standards. I did chuckle when Daenerys said she would fight for Jon but only if he bend the knee. That pause was priceless and genius. That moment shows us that Daenerys is coming around to believing that White Walkers are real, but the egos in the room are far too big for any of that to change.
What were your favorite parts? What do you disagree with me? Should we keep the name Reek? Let me know in the comment section.
