Dany’s line to Jon “Isn’t their survival worth more than your pride?” Is exactly what Jon asked of Mance when he wouldn’t kneel to Stanis. Now he understands.

[@Tubenuub]

He can throw that line right back at her though. She's refusing to help unless he bends the knee. Isn't their survival more important than HER pride?

[@kenjinpiniteu]

@@TubenuubThat's the thing though, she didn't really need his help at all. She just sent for Jon because of a prophecy Melisandre told her. It was Jon who asked more from her than she of him - she just wanted the North's allegiance, he wanted resources she could provide but without paying her back. If the North didn't swear allegiance to her, she will just come for them after Cersei - it was never in her plans to fight Jon's war till this episode (frankly, I was kinda 'ehh' by it because I think any sane ruler will need more proof than crude drawings on rock before committing to yet another war when she's already in one).

To his knowledge its the first time Ser Jaime has seen a Targaryen since he killed the Mad King, and there is his daughter burning people, so you can't really blame him for charging her with a spear.

[@mking1982098]

Need to realize that Jaime is wearing 35 - 55 lbs of armor that is weighing him down in the water. It is especially hard because gaps in the plate will fill with water so then you have to lift the weight of that water up as well, and lifting under water is already more difficult because you are also pushing against the water pressure. More than enough to keep many people weighed down.

[@imalexlaven]

Seriously though! I fell off of a boat in jeans and a long sleeve shirt and they weighed me down so much more than I thought was possible.

and it was a one-in-a-million shot that was never replicated since then. Frankly, if the dragons in this show were given the same characteristics as they were in the books, that scorpion bolt would have done nothing at all to a fully-grown dragon like Drogon.

Arya has been trained by some of the best fighters in the world. Syrio taught her water dancing and the art and passion of sword fighting. The Hound taught her what it really meant to be in a battle and how to fight dirty and survive. Then lastly in Braavos she was trained in the ways of an assassin and had to learn to defend herself without sight. Inferring that she probably spent a lot of her time offscreen practising, it’s not surprising to me that she’s such a capable fighter.

[@greenrat00]

12:33 Dany says the same thing about pride to Jon that Jon once said to Mance before he was executed

[@OpeningsOpenings]

It’s moving so fast now! It’s been fun watching with you. Sad it will soon end. I mean - also sad all the decent GOT ends too(for the most part)

[@jrafel1707]

This is one of my favorite episodes - just for the special effects and the feeling of being torn on not wanting people on both sides to die. It actually set a record for setting the most stuntmen on fire at a time. That fire wasn't computer generated, those were real stuntmen burning. They don't get paid enough!!

[@Ya_boy_Nique]

You're also forgetting that Arya learned water dancing from Syrio Forel first before he was killed and she incorporates those skills with her training as an assassin. Water dancing is very vital. That's how she learned how to move and be very quick.

[@USCFlash]

lol....yeah, with a giant wood sword, for 3 months, when she was 10. She's not even sparred with real swords....ever. It's absurd. " Water dancing is very vital." So is actual practice with a real sword, against anybody else for 6 years.

[@orcocan]

@@USCFlash i agree, complete nonsense, assassins are not knights or swordfighters

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

Regarding Arya: There was much done at the House of Black and White that you didn't see. Plus, everything Arya learned from Yorin, Gendry, Syrio, The Brotherhood, The Hound, Jaqen, etc... She was trained on every weapon, spear, bow, sword, rapier, dagger, how to run, sneak, roll, jump, dodge, lie, etc. poisons, how to mix them, how to become immune to them, how to carve meat, how to bake pie, and she learned all this sighted and blinded, AND she's been warging into Nymeria every night, even while in Bravos.

[@frnknstndrgqn]

Dany's plan honestly made the most sense. her enemies are in the red keep, she brings her dragons to the red keep only and no one else has to die. No soldiers no one. it would have meant the less casualties. Not sure why Jon didn't think of that. Tyrion looks all sad for no reason. Dude this is what you wanted dany to do. Instead of say i dunno attack your idiot sister directly. Some people have said that what Jamie did was brave trying to end the war, but it's literally what Dany wanted to do.

[@ACinemafanatic]

Exactly Tyrion became an idiot since season 5

[@justinmingus191]

If only we knew some secret passages into the Red Keep. If only we had several people on our side that were experts at finding said passages or smugglers. If only Daenerys had used the exact same tactics to take over cities previously

[@emmanuel6634]

It's not about ending the war quickly though. It's about doing so in a way that won't invite outright ire and mistrust the moment Dany sits on the throne. If she goes straight to the Red Keep than she IS killing civilians. Civilians that work inside the Keep and civilians in the surrounding areas that will get crushed by falling debris. The moment anyone in Kings Landing, be it lord or peasant, sees Dany do to civilians what she just did to Lannister soldiers in the Loot Train battle, is the moment Dany loses Westeros. And we already know that the people of Westeros already don't trust her, as shown in the first few episodes of Season 7 when they already consider her dangerous off of her name alone. Also, Tyrion isn't sad "for no reason" he's sad because he's witnessing someone he's helped essentially drop a nuke on soldiers that serve his family. Like yeah, he wants to see his sister displaced from the throne but he's also allowed to have a human reaction to seeing people die in horrible ways.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

The reunion of Sansa, Arya, and Bran is as interesting offscreen as it is onscreen when you think about it, all 3 actors were children and basically new and untrained in acting the last time they acted together back in the first episode of the first season, and since then all 3 have effectively had their own character and actor journeys through the near decade they’ve been filming the show. And now they’ve reunited as grown adults and trained actors actually knowing deeply each of their characters. As big of a moment this is onscreen, I imagine it must have been truly something offscreen for these young actors.

[@VolguusZildrohar]

I wouldn't say possessed. Just a bit dumbfounded by omniscience. He's seeing the world through a very wide lens where he can see the reactions of every action he takes, every action that those around him take. So he can't make any big moves without accidentally killing the world, just nudge those within his sphere in the right direction.

[@hellojilly]

I think this is one of the most epic episodes just because of the look on Jaime’s face seeing that dragon kill all their army. Seeing Dany ride in on Drogon with the Dothraki below is *chefs kiss* ICONIC. I loved Jaime’s character but man his face pisses me off now lol

@@avonbarksdale91 It is, but we don't see her learn that. It's possible she learned a bit off screen, but it clearly wasn't significant enough to show.

I loved this episode for the dragon action, but it really showcases the teleporting that started happening in the last couple of seasons.

[@andrewward5891]

It’s a little more reasonable this episode since mounted Dothraki can move pretty quickly and the Reach isn’t too far from the coast.

[@jwsel]

@@andrewward5891Except the Dothraki were on Dragonstone at the beginning of the episode. Tyrion said they had enough ships to get the Dothraki to the mainland. Dragonstone and Highgarden are on opposite ends of Westeros. This episode also is where the show transitioned from GRRM’s anyone can die at any time to major characters having plot armor. Jamie and Bronn surviving that battle was ridiculous.

[@Cbricklyne]

@@jwsel How do you know all the Dothraki were at Dragonstone at the beginning of the episode? That's just an assumption on your part, and one that does't take into account the possibility that Dany might have sent some in advance for a possible seige on the mainland. Just like people assumed they were all killed in a certain battle to come and then act surprised that she might have left some behind to guard Dragonstone. Your entire complaint is based on an assumption that's in no way corroborrated by anything said or shown in the show. And people have always had plot armor in this show since the beginning, - from even when GRRM was still involved in the show and even from the books themselves..... Jon should never have survived Hardhome probably 5 or 6 times within that same battle. Bran should never have made it beyond the wall,.....or back. Sansa should never have made it out of King's Landing or back North. Tyrion should never have survived the Blackwater battle. I could go on and on and on...... You know why these characters had plot armor and why they survived these ordeals. Stop pretending and acting like this is where it started just for the sake of complaining.

It's only "teleporting" if you assume everything is happening in realtime, and expect to have the show spoon-feed you every bit of information (like with captions), and don't expect to think for yourself.

[@Galiant2010]

@@Cbricklyne I'm not really bothered by the "teleporting" but the pace just really speeds up. Season 1 we have the multi-episode long travel from Winterfell to King's Landing. If that trip were to happen now they'd have left in one episode and arrived in the next. That's what people mean by teleporting. But I'm fine with it because it just means nothing of importance happened on the journey. But there's one specific scene either later this season or next season when they were in a time crunch and sent for help and I felt it arrived too quickly to be realistic. But most any other time I'm fine with the pace.

The caravan attack is one of the best fights in the show ❤ here we go, it’s on now!!

[@skiwlz]

Cody; 'I have some complaints about this season'. Is it the fact that we're now warping from place to place or the Bran in now the Three-Eyed Douche? Yeah, I'mma go with that one. 🤣

Arya so good because she was blind… she basically unlocked a secret ability😂 if you can fight blind no one really has a Chance against you 🤣

[@Galiant2010]

@@YourMotherAnd420 It's general knowledge. If you can manage with every sense except sight, then you're that much better off with sight. They show this in Star Wars, too, when Luke puts on the helmet and is training with the ball droid. Though that's Force enhanced... but still, if you can manage blind you're even better when you can see.

[@HuntingViolets]

But we are never shown her mastering sightless fighting. Does she beat the waif sightless?

[@Galiant2010]

@@HuntingViolets Yes. People will argue that it's vague, but it's basically implied/intended that when the waif was chasing her and she snuffed out the candle that she won, because we see her alive later. People will argue that it's the waif wearing Arya's face, but I think it's pretty obvious that it's not. The waif was dedicated to the ways of the faceless ones, so her taking over Arya's life isn't in line with that ideology.

[@Ploopbloopz]

​@@Galiant2010 I mean in all fairness the waif didn't act like a regular faceless man 😭 she was so bitter and constantly targeting Arya idk what her deal was
