So, who kills Cersie next season? Sand snakes? Dany? Littlefinger? Arya? Old bag Tyrell?Good shit.
Watching Arya feed Frey bits of his idiot boys and then slice his throat made two seasons of bullshit storyline somewhat worth it.
You don't fuck with Cersei. When you do, she blows everyone up. Did not see all the Tyrells dying in one fell swoop, or all the sparrows. She took them all out. Hats off.
It took 6 fucking seasons to get here but finally some comeuppance for some of these fucks.
Got to admit I did not see Jon Snow being crowned King in the North either. Took me by surprise. Littlefinger is pissed at this turn.
Good episode all the way around. I have to think fat boy was included because he is going to research and find some magic formula to kill wights and walkers and save the day or some shit. Need more Hound.
Hound vs Zombie Mountain while Arya kills Cersie is my Season 7 pick. -
lady mormont is a motherfuckin thug

The whole ep was amazing but the sept getting blown up sequence was a god damn masterstroke
-
Wow. Just, wow.
-
that high sparrow was vaporized
they should've showed the mountain 4 ft cock slaying the shame woman or at least the aftermath of hamburger guts he created -

Really good pacing and it's probably due to starting the hour off with the biggest bang. And how gorgeous was it, goddamn!? The literal darkness at Cersei's coronation has gotta be one of the show's most beautiful scenes.
The master stroke is, of course, the opening 15 minutes: Cersei finally making her move. Just brilliant how the OST is used throughout to keep the viewer captivated throughout the building dread, and that martyr shot of the HS going up in flames was just delicious. That scene is easily top 5 from the entire show's run. -
I nominate this gif to replace DIAFF. Poor Hondo is gonna get sick of seeing this thing.Gladstone said:

No, don't spoil for Derek. He's only mid-season 3 right now I think.GreenRiverGatorz said:

Also he took King's Landing way too literally lol

Cersei was shit on all season, and in one instant she makes the most groundbreaking move in the entire series. Ned's beheading, Red Wedding, Battle of the Bastards, Tywin's death, etc. None of those moments even hold a candle to Cersei practically wiping out Westeros's second wealthiest family along with the entire Faith of the Seven. Her reign won't last long, but god damn that was an awesomely violent ascent to the throne.Gladstone said:Really good pacing and it's probably due to starting the hour off with the biggest bang.

Jaime will kill Cersei as an echoing motif of his first time as kingslayer. He will then sit on the throne once again momentarily and kill himself.Swaye said:So, who kills Cersie next season? Sand snakes? Dany? Littlefinger? Arya? Old bag Tyrell?Good shit.

That was what took the opening King's Landing scenes over the top for me. It was so ominous and chilling that you just knew shit wasn't going to end well from the get go.ThomasFremont said:The soundtrack in this episode was amazing.
Overall 10/10 episode, I'll have to rewatch tomorrow but this is the first TV episode I've seriously considered being better than Ozymandias from Breaking Bad. -

who should jon name as hand? i know davos will be the popular pick but my vote is for
-
Too bad she's a fictional character...then I'd want her to be our AD.Gladstone said:who should jon name as hand? i know davos will be the popular pick but my vote is for

I am very happy that Dragons and Tits are finally BOTH headed West.
-
That is one of the best episodes of television I have ever seen. Everything was on point, but that soundtrack throughout was unbelievable.
Also, I love the books, but thank you D&D for cutting through so many characters in one swoop. Needed to be done.
Also well played by having Olenna tell the Sandsnakes to fuck off like so many of us wish we could have done.
I think Cersei has lost Jamie for good. -
Can only hope Natalie Dornan's perkies will reappear on some other series.
-
@Gladstone (or anyone else in the know) does Westros have absolute primogeniture? I thought that was only a Drone thing. So wouldn't Jamie be king instead of Cersei? Not that it will matter for much longer.

Didn't Jamie renounce when he became a member of the King's Guard? I cant remember if he was granted everything back when Tommen relieved him of his duties.Gladstone said:

Now that Kevin Lannister is dead, Jamie is head of House Lannister and Casterly Rock.

Kevan never had title to the house or Casterly Rock.PurpleReign said:Now that Kevin Lannister is dead, Jamie is head of House Lannister and Casterly Rock.

Tywin technically made Cersei the Lady of Casterly Rock upon his death, but as soon as Jaime was relieved of his KG duties, title reverted back to him.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Yeah Kevan was just left in charge of Casterly Rock while the top Lannisters were running shit in King's Landing, but it was never his.

My brother was wondering why the wildling chic's baby has been a baby for so long.
-
More thoughts:
What would Cersei have done with Tommen if he didn't kill himself? It was obvious she didn't want him dead, since she had zombie Mountain keep him from going to the Sept. So, what was her plan? She certainly didn't seem too broken up over his death.
I would let Lady Mormont cock punch me and like it. That's a bad bitch. Guess you grow up fast in the north. She's like 12.
Where the fuck is the Hound? Bring him back and then ignore him. Got to meet up with Arya somehow is my guess.
Will Littlefinger try to fuck with the north now that Jon is King, or will he save his strength for a shot at the Iron Throne and just use the north as a relatively friendly group to rely on?
Who is still alive on Arya's kill list from 4 seasons ago? I cannot recall. Whoever is on that list should prepare their asses for getting raped.
When Bran gets back below the wall there is no chance anyone would want him to be King is there? Trueborn, etc. I assume since the houses have all pledged for Jon nothing would change, but who the fuck knows.
Also, when Bran heads south does that fuck up the wards on the wall that prevent the dead from passing? I have to guess it is something like that otherwise how would the Night King ever get down there?
Where do you think Dany lands? My guess, of course, is Dorne. I hope she kills the sand snakes, but she won't. Also wonder who she will try to make allegiances with. She is already tight with the Ironborn and Dorne, but that's it. However, the Tyrells are toast, the Freys and all dead, as are the Boltons and Baratheons. Outside of the remnants of the Starks and the Lannisters there isn't much left of the major houses. Game of Thrones indeed. Half the great houses of Westeros have been wiped out. Cool.
Anyone else happy they threw Edmure back in a cage? Fuck that guy.
Predictions:
Think Jon and Dany wind up forging an alliance? I bet Dany fucks up all of Westeros up to the north, but Tyrion stays her hand because of his affection for Sansa. I also bet Littlefinger worms his way into Dany's good graces because he effectively leads one of the most powerful houses left. She needs the Vale. On the other hand Tyrion won't trust him, so who knows.
I am guessing the Night King is fucking everything up when Dany decides to save the north and her dragons make shitloads of dragon glass to arm everyone becasue fat boy finds out some good shit in the big ass library he's in and the Starks and Dany wage total war on the undead. Afterwards Jon bends the knee, Dany rules Kings Landing, Hound kills Zombie Mountain, Arya kills Cersei or some other mother fuckers, Bran does something special though I have no idea what. Will Jamie Lannister survive is something I wonder? Perhaps Tyrion will convince Dany they need another strong house aligned with her interests.
I am way too fucking into a TV show. FML. -
Not sure why everyone hates on the Sand Snakes. Certified sweatpants boner for me.
