I really look forward to when/if Tyrion and Jamie meet again.

Tyrion's might be the voice that finally convinces Jaime to kill Circe.

As for the thought of Tyrion being a double agent, I don't think so. As someone else pointed out, Tyrion is a politician, not a warrior. What does he really know of battle strategy? Jaime, as Circe's general, has him beat by far on that front.

So, odds on Arya returning to Winterfell next week? I think it happens.

Wasn't Bravos founded by slaves and a very anti-slave state? Not sure why the Iron Bank would invest in the slave trade.

It looked like Bronn was with Jamie so I assume he won't be saving the bad kitty.

Also, the end of Lady Olenna was great. Diana Rigg was great. But how about Circe's revenge? Just when you thought you'd seen the heights of how ruthless she could be, she goes a step further. And the conversation between Euron and Jaime had me laughing.

Great episode, imo.

I don't see the big deal with the last scene like a lot of people. I mean it would have been a lot more badass if she wasn't about to die and have her entire family name go down in ashes as another house takes over her kingdom.

Olenna was the loser here, cersei losing Joffrey is nothing compared to Olenna losing herself and literally the entire Tyrell family.

I believe you could see her on her horse staring at winterfell castle from the distance for a brief second in the next episode teaser.

I felt Dany looked a little ridiculous and borderline childish during her meeting with Snow. I found myself saying "oh shut up Dany, no one cares."

The reason it was a great scene had almost nothing to do with a anything you said. If you don't get why, then you just don't get why.

Money talks..and I agree about Bronn, but there was never any chance Ellaria or Tyene are getting saved by anybody.

One of my favorite episodes ever. Dany has been taking L's, but I'm glad they're keeping her honest....but lets not forget she has around what 100,000 Dothraki? And 3 dragons.

I assumed after the scene with Nymeria that Arya's not going to Winterfell

Thank you for that invaluable insight.

You're welcome. I wasn't being a smart aleck, I'm just saying if you don't already appreciate why that was a great scene, then you never will no matter how much anybody explains why it is. You are not going to be the only one that feels the way you do.

There is another person who knows how to sneak in and out of the Red Keep. How in the heck he, or someone he instructs, could get there in time is beyond me but the laws of space and time don't seem to have much applicability to the show.

Poetic justice in that. Couldn't really fault her vicious for vicious. Having them imprisoned together so she has to watch her daughter SLOWLY die, is a pimp ass move. Feel that Bronn will slip Tyrene the antidote (for old times sake) but that would be a weak plot development.

Why? All that showed was that Nymeria was like her and blazed her own path. Didn't change the reason that Arya was trying to reach her "brother".

She had already lost her family. Everything she had done since the wildfire, was about revenge against the Lannisters. She got that last little poke as she faded into painless death.

Olenna's disclosure was necessary for Jamie to eventually have to choose between Cersei and Tyrion, again.

The reddit spoilers stated that Jamie will leave Cersei to joint the fight against the Night King

I took it as a self-realization that going back to Winterfell and having a happy life there is not the right destination for either of them. I assumed after that conversation that she was turning back towards Kings Landing again.

No...Nymeria giving up the life she's built to FOLLOW Arya to Winterfell hence the "that's not YOU". Your theory will have her passing out from vertigo. :blink: She's not returning to Winterfell for the "happy life". She's returning to help her family.

Will Jon go back to the North and see his brother before the wedding? (I don't read spoilers, just my speculation since he won't "bend the knee")

It was badass because even in death, she got in a last "eff you".

You talkin about Varys? No way is Dany going to risk him to save Ellaria and Tyene IMO.
