Arya, Sansa, and Brandon
RR sent them all away so that they could return as an evil trinity: The Violence, the Schemer, and the Supernatural.
I haven’t read the books, but that’s how it appears

Regardless of anything else, Aria needs to sit upon the iron throne and rule. And the faceless guy from Braavos can be her hand.

Largest pyrotechnic using real people ever done on film. TV or movie. 73 real stuntmen on fire. Pretty impressive stunt work. Like the show or not, hats off to the crew for that work.

I’m so conflicted.
I like Jaime and Bron. I don’t want either to die

Terribly worried about the dragon and I don’t care about DanrysT.

Does that make me bad?

Game of Thrones 7.4 was possibly the greatest single hour in television history.

And this is the greatest 7:36 minutes.

FIELD OF FIRE part 1 - Dothraki and Drogon ambush the Lannisters - Game of Thrones Season 7

It was just absolutely spectacular television.

I loved the look on Tyrion’s face as the Lannister army is getting wiped out and the Dothracki general turns to him and says your people are not that good as warriors (paraphrase). If Tyrion had a cartoon bubble pop above his head, I think it would say “yeah, I wonder how good Dothrackis would be if they were getting burned to a crisp”...

This episode had a lot of call-backs to Season 1.

About Ser Jaime charging Drogon and Danaerys with his lance at the end, Wikipedia says this:

Coster-Waldau also stated about his character, "Jaime is such an idiot that he thinks for a second, 'If I can do this, I can win the whole thing in a 'Hail Mary.'"

Personally, I think this hearkens back to Season 1 where Robert Baratheon was discussing “War Stories” with Ser Barristan Selmy and Jaime. Apparently, the first man Robert ever killed was at the Battle of Summerhall.
“Some Tarly boy. Came running at me, thinking he could end the rebellion with a single swing of his sword. I knocked him down with the hammer. Gods, I was strong then! Probably shattered every rib he had. Just before I brought the hammer down he shouted, “Wait! Wait!” Hmmppfff! They don’t tell you how they all $#!+ themselves when they die. They leave that part out of the songs.”

Note also that an earlier conversation in the latest episode, between Jaime, Bronn and Dickon Tarly, covered the same aspect of battle. Dickon remarked that battle smelled worse than he expected. Bron remarked: “You mean all the $#!+? They leave that part out of the songs, don’t they?” (or something like that).

And there, at the end, is Ser Jaime trying to win the whole thing with single thrust of his lance. Didn’t work out that time either.

I am not reading these threads.

I am collecting the current episodes on my TiVo DVR so I can binge them this season, like I did last year.

IIRC, this season is only 7 episodes, but some of them are extended by several minutes. Next season will have about 6 episodes, but they are supposed to run about 80-90 minutes each.

If that battle scene doesn’t win an Emmy, there’s something wrong. That was epic.

Great battle!

I knew there was no chance but I was rooting so hard for Jamie to skewer her.

I hope we see Meera Reed again, a shame she was still wearing that filthy burlap sack looking thing instead of something more comely.
