Also, I wonder what was going through Sansa's head as she realized that she is the only Stark who doesn't appear to have a super power?

Over and over again, as Sansa became disillusioned, she said she was such a stupid little girl. I think Sansa's "superpower" is her beauty, and the fact that she has become very worldly wise.

IMO, Little Finger doesn't stand a chance.

As for the end game, has anyone considered her and/or Tyrion?

Just curious..how exactly do you not think he is real in the story?

So I want to be clear that I'm not really sure whether or not the Lord of Light or any of the other Gods in the story are real. There may or may not be, and I don't think we'll ever get a definitive answer either way.

That said, while there is no doubt that magic is real, I don't think that necessarily means the Gods are. I also think Gods can be used as an explanation for supernatural phenomena. For example, we see the First Men and their descendants worshipping the Old Gods, but while there is some magic involved with the weirwood trees, that doesn't necessarily mean there really are Old Gods. More likely, we see magic associated with greenseers and the Children of the Forest that the First Men may have mistook for Gods.

Additionally, while we have seen magic associated with the Lord of Light, it may simply be attributed to the Lord of Light. We've seen through the White Walkers that some form of resurrection may not necessarily be related to a God. Additionally, when Jon Snow and Beric Dondarrion died, they both said they simply saw darkness and that there is no other side. Now, maybe that is just because they weren't ready to die for good just yet, but it may also mean there is nothing to see and the magic that brought them back is unrelated to any religion.

I also think it's a little unlikely that just one of the religions is true. I would guess that either several of them are or none of them are.

Again, this is just speculation. I don't have a lot of evidence. I just think that when characters attribute something to the Gods, it's highly possible they're just going with an easy explanation for what they can't otherwise explain.

Twitter Quotes from the other night

#GameOfThrones*
Me, S1: Eww I can't believe they have incest on this show.
Me, S7: I don't care if they're cousins, they should hook up


#GameOfThrones* has me like:

"I hope the guy who tried to murder a 10yr old & raped his sis next to their dead son doesn't die, I like him."


Game of Thrones, at its core, has always been a show about how much it sucks to be a horse

This point was driven home to an extreme in the Spoils of War... Even knowing it was CGI still made me uncomfortable.

I know we shouldn't think about such things but one item is bothering me about the end of "The Spoils of War"... Jaime is sinking to the bottom of a lake but does it make sense that a lake would be that deep so close to the shore line? Game of Thrones is usually pretty good about not showing "plot armor" but Bronn and Jaime were definitely wearing it at the end of the last episode.

Not showing plot armor? Arya got stabbed in the gut 6 times then jumped in water that we saw people empty chamber pots into and she swam away. The next day she fought and killed a world class assassin. Arya, Jon, Dany, Tyrion they all have plot armor that can stop a nuke.

That was some bull**** with Arya. There was no reason to have things play out that way. Disagree with the other three.

I think it's supposed to be the Blackwater Rush, which is a deep, swift river that runs through or adjacent to King's Landing.

I used to go swimming at a lake in Georgia that has a sandy shelf along the shoreline and then literally drops 75 feet straight down.

So in the Got context, supernatural events exist, but supernatural beings do not?..ok..

I'm still wondering why they went with her being viciously stabbed multiple times in that scene. Why not just show her getting winged a little on the side instead of getting shived in the gut like that? That one was and still is stupid.
