Intense! I felt bad for that giant even though he wasn't the nicest guy. He is brave. He walked into the water but the show wasn't clear where he was going or what happened to him. Maybe he is tall enough to walk all the way? I thought for a second the show found a replacement woman for Jon, and I am glad they decided to not be so unoriginal.

I don't understand Cersei's uncle. He may not like Cersei but he has to know what is at stake here regarding the legitimacy of Tommen. How come he is not rescuing Cersei? As for Ser Jorah, I am sort of losing interest. He's dying, let him die in peace. What of any significance can happen here at this point? Arya's story has also lost me. Not sure what to make of this as it is painfully slow detailing her change to master assassin. It's interesting in theory, but not really worth devoting so much storytime to.

I guess they could send him in as a living nuke against the white walkers, but seeing how Jon's sword is the newest only thing that can stop them you can sort of see how this might end where it will be the dragons of all things that save humanity when it is time to start forging new swords pronto. If that doesn't work I imagine the dragons will figure into the climactic battle in another way. There has to be a reason why these dragons were placed in the story to just perpetually reside in the background. Somehow when it all comes to a head and Dany and Jon are the ones fighting to save the world, her dragons will be the secret weapon somehow. If not, then I can't really see why Martin bothered to include them.

As for Ser Jorah, I guess he will eventually get a heroic death set to dramatic music, and Dany will learn a lesson in something bravely fighting back tears. Other than that, I can't see why this guy is still on the show.

The end was really cool with the dragon, but I really thought the dragon was gonna get killed. Perhaps it is time Danearys takes her show on the road because this town seems to want nothing to do with her. Stannis wss always a creep with no personality but he crossed a line tonight I don't see how he can cross back. His wife is a total imbecile but so is he for even going along with this. He has to wind up getting killed because no way does a guy like this go on to win at the end, Now sure what to make of the whole Dorne episode. Nothing really happened of note, so why did we spend all that time there? The three daughters got hyped as being something important but they all turned out to be nothing. Frustrating we did not get to see what is happening with the Kings Landing crew but I guess that is for next week.

I hope Ramsey carves the cold, dead heart out of Stannis. However, the Lord of Light has power and Stannis did make the sacrifice. I think he might win his battle against the Bolton's at least. I was surprised that Shireen's mother is the one who tried to save her. I think she was basically insane from losing all of those babies (keeping the bodies proves that). She latched on to a cult to give her life meaning, but at least at the end she came to her senses. I wish Shireen had at least seen her mother try to stop it.

Dany's scene was good tonight. This show needs more dragons, but I guess the CGI or whatever they are using is expensive. People seem to think she left her crew to fend for themselves, but really, the fight was over.

I wonder if Oberyn's mistress is going to kill Jaime.

Hey Q, your giant survived!

I knew that's how it would end for Shireen.

The tragedy of Stannis is that he's a noble, just ruler in some ways, but ultimately he became a middle aged man who is hidebound, bamboozled, and deluded. Their family, with what Melisandre has brought to them and what Stannis has allowed, is nothing but a sad, pathetic midlife crisis that led them into a death cult.

The end with Daenerys and Drogon was really affecting. And I'm actually glad Jorah didn't buy it there. They gave him a great redemption.

Yes, I wonder where he will sleep.

I think the daughter did see the mother trying to help her which is why she switched from calling for her father to calling for her mother. Stannis is just a waste of a human being. He isn't sadistically evil like that Bolton psycho but he is just so cold and perpetually miserable. If he has to kill his own family to get the throne, why does he even want it? The other brother was a much nicer guy, it's a shame he got killed. I don't even know how he wound up in the same family as Stannis and Robert (who was also not going to win any personality contests)

I can't believe next week is the last episode! This year got off to a slow start but the last few weeks have been one winner after another. Which reminds me, whatever happened to Varys??? He was in the first episode or two and was completely forgotten about. Which double reminds me that in season one Jon Snow joined the Knights Watch to find his uncle...did he ever find him? And is Renly STILL rowing? And where is Rickon and Hodor?

Yeah, the whole noble part has pretty much gone up in smoke with Shireen.

I find Stannis a fascinating character, but his arc has gone exactly the way I expected. Stodgy guy backs the worst possible horse.

I binge watched this show in about 2 weeks and am in love. Still suck at remembering everyone's names but hey if I can't spell it my brain throws it away.

I've never been fond of Stannis and last night solidified it. Her uncle is going to be so pissed when he returns.

Jon Snow is my current husband of any show I watch. He can do no wrong. Well, besides cheating on my with that annoying wildling. But luckily I'm forgiving...

Dany and Drogon are made of win. It was nice for Jorah to prove he still always has her back but he's already been sentenced to death. Putting Tyrion in Danys orbit has probably been my favorite development this season.

Can someone release my other fav Margaery already? Where's Grandma badass when you need her?

I can't believe the show did it again! I was just staring watching and not believing what I was seeing. He was supposed to be the eventual star of the whole story who along with Dany saves everyone. It pisses me off they keep on killing the good guys off leaving us with wars between Child burners and skin flayers as the people we are supposed to choose between. Stories need heroes, and they just killed theirs---again. It sucks.

I don't know who it is time to root for, I guess Jaime, the hero who pushes children out windows. He got some bit of redemption with Brienne so maybe we can watch him get even with the Dornish who killed his daughter. In other news, it will be fun watching Cersei get even with everybody in that whole town. She's evil but they're fanatic nuts and have it coming, Her Franken-mountain I assume will have a whole list of people to settle with. Sansa and Theon: the show is unclear, it looked like a suicide pact but I am gonna say growing up there they know where to jump to land in a pile of snow. Arya's killing Ser Meryn was great but now she's blind? Her friend isn't a friend worth having. I am not sure who Dany was surrounded by but seeing how she ditched her ring, I am guess it isn't her old Khal Drogo crew.

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
