Dragon battle was amazing, but my (our) favorite moment was Arya and Brienne squaring off.
It was interesting but I guess to be expected to see Tyrion show worry for his brother on the battlefield even though they were on opposite sides.
Bron had a really good episode. Awesome crossbow/catapult/dragon gun shooting.
I felt myself hoping that Jamie got there in time with that spear. Would have made sense to me. Take her and her dragon out which then leaves Jon to own the dragons and lead the armies.
Quite an edgy moment with Theon turned up on the beach.

Jon should have strangled him to death, or drowned him in the surf.
[doublepost=1502104684][/doublepost]I was also hoping Dragon Queen got speared last night (first by Jon, then by Jaime)
I liked the final battle and especially when
As for people saying Game of Thrones is being rushed. Well it's better than waiting for George R.R. Martin to finish The Winds of Winter that is if he ever does. 
I like the fact that fantasy is finally getting some recognition that other genres in the past has gotten. Mostly notably crime shows which in my opinion have been overdone to the point they are starting to look all the same. Though there still a few good shows on that genre as well. Hopefully there will be more shows in the fantasy (particularly medieval fantasy with Dragons, Witches and so on) genre in the future. However, we still have some more Game of Thrones episodes to watch.
Tyrion said "What a ******** idiot!" when his brother rushed Daenerys and her dragon.

Apparently no one did. Earlier in the season when discussing strategy, no one at Dragonstone considered the dragons' mortality. That was my thought from the beginning. Dany only has three of them and losing one is like losing a castle or a third of her army.
I don't understand this. The dragons have already demonstrated their vulnerability. Daenerys saw it first hand at the arena when she was about to be swarmed a few seasons ago, and the very fact that the Red Keep used to be adorned with the skulls of fallen dragons tells EVERYONE that they are not invincible.
Though not utilizing them doesn't capitalize on her advantage. I guess it was a case of: 1) at the very least, she could monitor the battle from a great vantage point where no weapon is a concern, 2) she wasn't intending on using the dragon on the ground, and wasn't aware of potentially deadly ranged weapon (guess she didn't see The Hobbit ...), 3) clearly she's a touch reckless and puts a huge trust in her dragons being the end-all-be-all of warfare.
I have a theory on that dragon's destiny, I only read the first two books, so it's not based on the written material - it's actually based on an HBO promo poster

Care to share it with the rest of us?
Sure! I mean, I guess it's not a spoiler per se, I saw a promo poster that showed the Night King on what looked like a dragon (breathing ice). I was thinking if somehow the dragon falls to the army of the undead it might get zombified - which would be both badass and horrific.
FWIW, it looked like real promo material, I can just post it up here.
Hmmm, in a re-review it almost doesn't look like a dragon, it might be some other creature from the north[?]
Are you talking about this poster? Says it's fan-made.

Yes! Funny, I almost mentioned that as a caveat above (i.e., while it's professional looking it might be fan made content).
That being said, that fan may know something ...

Seeds are being sown already for Sansa to go rogue, and seeds are also being sown for Jon to bend the knee. I was surprised Dany still went to battle despite Jon's lecture. Then again it was the logical thing to do.
Knew Jamie wouldn't reach her, and more importantly wouldn't die. The Arya teleportation was surprising but i guess this season is all about moving swiftly.
Bran was straight savage to Meera.

Loved this week. Back to brutal battle scenes again. I can see now where the disappeared budget from the Battle of Highgarden went. Bronn has done Danaerys an enormous unintentional favour there. The weapon is not as effective when it is no longer a secret.
Away from the obvious, my favourite bit had to be the square off between Arya and Brienne, and of course Sansa's reaction as she realised that her surviving siblings have all used their time to become far more powerful and dangerous than she has. The only question is which one she's going to try and target first.

I guess she the split the difference between doing nothing and flambeing a city full of kids
At least the-girl-with-no-name has an excuse, with her ninja-assassin powers
Why is everyone claiming that people are teleporting all over Westeros? We have no idea how much time has passed between episodes or scenes within an episode.
It's a pretty common discussion point from fans/pod-casters/bloggers/etc., especially when it comes to moving massive armies - clearly in a number of cases there was some "logistic liberties" taken.
The final scene was amazing. For dragons yes, but also because we see the emotions roll off Tyrion as his former banner men die. I'm hoping for a Tyrion/Jamie face to face at some point too. Jamie's best trait is the genuine affection he has for his younger brother.
He's no longer Bran. Not in the slightest.
I loved the scene with Arya and Brienne! While those of us at home knew what was coming, nobody else did. Except maybe Bran....
Loved the ending, although I know Bron is down there too, without armor, and will bring Jaime back up.
I was surprised there was no exchanged look between Tyrion and Jaime on the battlefield.
Excellent episode. I have become a Jamie fan of sorts. His moral compass is really turning in many directions. After his meeting with Olenna and learning it was she, not Tyrion who poisoned Joffrey then holding back his anger, he didn't slaughter her the way Cersei would have. Jamie advising Tyrell to give warning first to the stragglers before whipping them and his words to Bronn just give me hope that he will meet with Tyrion and join them. Hey I can wish it lol.
Dany will be her own downfall if she insists on stroking her ego demanding her "bend the knee" crap. It's getting old. It's like the phrase, cutting your nose off to spite your face. Jon sees it and gently tries to guide her to acknowledge White walkers are their only enemies that count.
Littlefinger better make the best of the final days, Bran knows his game. Arya and Brianna's scene was pure gold. Sensa will have her hands full between Arya and Bran who no longer are the younger silly siblings she once knew.
Was surprised Cersei had the forethought to let Jamie bring the dragon killer weapon on his journey not knowing (or does she know
) if Dany had the ability to use her dragons in battle. I don't remember anyone in Westros actually seeing a dragon in flight. Great CGI battle and what an ending!

Great episode. Literally had me cheering when the dragon laid down the fire.
What a rollercoaster of emotions! I didn't want Jaime or Bronn to die, but I wanted Daenerys to win! Speaking of her, Jonaerys is sooo happening I'm sure of it, what's with Jon and caves anyway? Also, Stannis the Mannis lives through Davos when he said "fewer" lol and Arya vs Brienne was amazing!
I think it was Dickon who saved Jaime though.
And can we have some Sansa boobs soon?
