Well played team Lannister, comprehensively outcoaching Dany in the early going and cutting her midfield to pieces. Big forwards win finals though and Dany still got the 3 biggest in the land, reckon she'll take the late Olenna's advice and swing them into action next week.
Speaking of, QoT went out like a boss, what else would you expect really. He really was a **** wasn't he haha nearly fell off my chair.
One thing though - where is the Tyrell army? I get that Olenna said fighting wasn't their forte but they're still one of the most powerful houses in Westeros, surely they'd have a decent contingent guarding all that gold, or engaged elsewhere.
Didn't mind the Dany and Jon scene, worth it just for the introductions/titles (or lack of for Jon lol).
Euron is growing on me, hated the casting last season but the character is coming along. Classic scene with Jamie in the throne room.
I don't think he is certain. But might have put 2 and 2 together.
Where would he get the 2 and 2 from? Don't see how anyone besides Bran and Howland Reed would have any idea whatsover re: Jon Snow.
Unless you'd been fiddling with your phone or something for the entire episode you'd quite clearly know who the dad was.
Its heavily implied I guess who the father is and I subscribe to that theory but it hasn't been spelled out yet. Otherwise why have Lyanna's whisper to Ned not heard by the audience.
We did see the Silence in the middle of the fleet, when Grey Worm was looking down from Casterly Rock. Euron is there, in person.
As for teleportation... It's a hell of a long way, but the Unsullied's fleet had a pretty decent head start - courtesy of his detour to King's Landing. Given that he had to sail the same route, it's doubtful that he would have caught up and arrived at the crucial moment as he did.
Grey Worm and the Unsullied had never seen Casterly Rock before, possible that they spent some time scouting once they got there which would give Euron some extra time to catch up. At the very least they'd have to find Tyrion's secret entrance undetected, not a big issue that Euron got there in time.
It may have been hubris & ego - but it's becoming increasingly obvious that there's a spy within Dany's camp (Missandei being the most likely candidate). It's a lot harder to win a war if the enemy has a spy in your war room, warning them about your every move.
I want to know where the Lannisters suddenly found all these troops, and what happened to the Tyrell's army? Robb Stark had pretty much annihilated all of the Lanister armies, except for the forces they had in Kings Landing. They were seriously scraping the bottom of the barrel until he was taken out by the Freys. All of a sudden they now have an army at Casterly Rock, which is big enough to take out the Tyrells?
Then we look at the Tyrells... Some of their forces were taken out when Cersei blew up Baelor's Sept in Kings Landing. However, The Reach is the most populous kingdom of Westeros, with the biggest army. They should have had more than enough troops remaining to take on the Lannister forces at Highgarden.
I'm not calling this a major plot hole - not like the 3D printing of Euron's fleet, or teleporting Sand Snakes - but it does raise questions...
Jamie mentioned during the ep that the bulk of the Lannister army his father built still remains or words to that effect.
I agree about the Tyrells though. Could have sworn they were mentioned as a factor a few eps ago, now they're somehow a complete non-entity despite having massive stores of gold, would like to know where their personnel are if not at Highgarden.
You do realise that you're making my point for me? Grey Worm is long gone by the time that Jon arrives, yet Euron is still on the East Coast of Westeros, at Kings Landing. Grey Worm has a massive head start on Euron, which is why it's so hard to accept that Euron's fleet would get there when it did.
...
I know it takes months for the Unsullied to sail all the way around Westeros to Casterly Rock. It takes just as many months for Euron's fleet to make the same voyage. The Unsullied start their voyage long before Euron, who makes a detour to Kings Landing on the way... yet somehow they arrive at almost the same time?
I don't think we know for a fact that the Unsullied start their journey 'long before' Euron.. couldn't they have sailed after the Greyjoys/Sand Snakes? Would kinda make sense in terms of Dany getting the news of their demise too ie. the Unsullied see some the wreckage from Euron's attack and send a boat back to Dany with the news.
That would mean Euron could be back in KL dropping off Ellaria round about the same time the Unsullied sail, meaning he'd only be a day or 2 behind.
