Arya was awesome.
The dragons were awesome.
Jamie ... (spoilers) Only one beef ... how could Jamie be riding along in shallow water, get knocked off his horse and get sucked down 50+ feet that close to the shoreline?

Is he? (I watched the episode but need to make sure)

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

They are certainly amping up the action this season. I really enjoyed the episodes "stark" contrast between the battle scenes and the family reunion sections.
While the episode had me glued to my seat during the last few minutes, I found there were a few sloppy/let down moments within the context of the production of the series.
1) Why Dany can't swing around to the other end of the Scorpion and engulf it flames is beyond me and not very realistic - but obviously not as dramatic as staring down a weapon pointing at you I suppose.
2) The last 60 seconds was something out an Avengers movie or Armageddon and didn't feel very realistic, and he ends up in a lake with apparently deep water that happened to be within a "Bronn's" throw away of the land. lol
Arya is going to do great things with that dagger.

Agreed about the depth of the water so close to shore being implausible, but then we are talking about a show with dragons.
I laughed heartily when Bronn laughed at "Rickon/Dickon".
Arya/Brienne duel was awesome.

Yeah, did anyone sense a touch of jealousy on Sansa's part when seeing Arya's skills?

LOL. What a world we live in where we think of the person who was abused by Joffrey and Ramsey is the "normal one".Originally Posted by Paulie

Or why she didn't attack from behind while everyone's attention was focused on the Dothraki onslaught.
Speaking of Dothraki, it was great to finally see what they're made of.

The Scorpion looked like it was on a very flexible pivot so Bron could swing it round to line up Drogon. A dragon is a great tool for making a hole in a shield wall. I loved the Arya - Brienne duel

That final scene, with finally seeing the dragon in battle and with Jaime's life in doubt (and that whole "how did that water get so deep so quickly??") is going to get all of the attention, but Arya's training with Brienne was the best part of the episode, for me. The looks on everyone's faces - Arya, Brienne, Sansa and Littlefinger - just conveyed so much.

I think after Arya's duel, when she looks up at Littlefinger, she realized that she gave away too much. His final look at her conveyed much the same emotion. He won't be surprised by her in the future, until she puts on another face.
That dagger is going to wind up in Cerci's heart.
One last thought ... when Jon finally bends the knee, will it be to get her assistance with his fight up north, or will it be to propose marriage?

Hopefully not the latter, since marrying your own aunt doesn't tend to be legal, even in fantasy worlds.

Actually that's true, good point.

Great season so far!! Unusually deep, close to shore lake water and all!!!

I like the scene where Jon Snow shows Danerys how her ancestors and his ancestors fought together against the Sleestak.
My son thought it would have been funny if Jon Snow had done those drawings himself.
Well.....?

I just blew through the last two episodes. Holy balls! Holy dragon balls. And we finally see that Dothraki could indeed break a Westeros infantry line.
I agree about the deep water. A steep dropoff does happen but that was a stretch. I do love the way Dinklage said over and over, "you fucking idiot".

Seems silly to talk about the exact weight of the armor. Even trying to swim fully clothed is scary as hell, IMO. If the water was 7 feet deep he'd still be in trouble...the extra depth just adds drama.

I got the chills watching that Murderer's Row going out beyond The Wall.
