I was a little tired when I finally got around to watching the episode at midnight, and the whole Jon being the rightful heir thing went over my head. I now have to re-watch it. Which I like to do, anyway!

So thanks, everybody.

So how did Jamie and Bronn get from (while underwater) one side of the lake to the other with his set of armor and huge sword weighing him down?

And when they get out of the water, they barely seem tired?  C'mon.

Best acted scene in the ep was between Dany and Jorah.   Seeing Tyrion and Jamie get a scene together was nice, too.

Sure hope there isn't an annoying fan fiction-like Dany/Jon Snow romance. 

The Davos/Gendry comedy routine went on too long and was obviously episode padding.

So random thought about the Fellowship/Suicide Squad. The majority of these guys are essentially undead in some way or another. The hound was essentially dead before a miracle, John and Berrick were actually dead, Jorah was a dead man walking for all intensive purposes, Gendry was a similar case when he was sold to the red priestess and Stannis. I don't recall anything with Tormund or Thoros being "born again" but I don't think that this is a coincidence that this much of the group has died/been essentially dead and is about to face a massive army of the dead.

Every time I find myself asking such questions, I remind myself I'm watching a show with dragons, giants, smoke monsters, witches with the power of resurrection, and a zombie army led by an 8,000-year-old ghoul.
Given all that, believing a guy can swim a few hundred yards wearing armor isn't all that difficult.

Found this pretty hilarious as it pertains to the geographic and timeline discrepancies in Thrones

They are mostly frozen, and therefore must move slowly.  Duh.

Leaked episode?

Yes, it lives up to the hype, and then some.  I'm leaving for a vacation, so I wasn't going to be able to see it on Sunday, and didn't want anything spoiled, so I watched.

I would advise to stay off of youtube.  People are posting all the important scenes with the spoilers in the title, just to be jerks.

The picture quality is really good, btw.

Can't wait.

This show has the potential to surpass Breaking Bad as my favorite drama of all time.

Okay, knock it off.  I am respectfully requesting an end to these comments as I would like to watch it in a legitimate manner - with my HBO subscription.

Also, why do you think it is okay to take delivery of stolen goods here?  Is it any different than buying a TV that "fell off the truck"?

Well these are HBO subscribers I'm guessing so stealing is a reach, more like people watching on Sunday had it on layaway all week?

To be fair, it sounds like HBO pushed the TVs off the truck in Spain.

A) I said nothing that gave away anything. Outside of it being a great episode. I'd never post a spoiler, respect everyone's wishes to watch at their own pace. What I said was no different than my roommate telling me to go see Dunkirk because it was a fantastic movie and better than saving private Ryan.

B) I pay for HBO, thus it's not stolen. It'd be like me buying something and going to the warehouse to take it before it comes out officially. I did pay for it, just didn't wait for the shipment.

C) is the reason you're singling me out because you know I'm in my mid 20s whereas the other individual is an unknown age and thus you can't "mom them"?

It was a general comment.  Not a big fan of any non-authorized streaming of music, video, etc.

The only things I non authorize download are original EPs that aren't available anymore which amounts to roughly 5 songs and that band has gotten loads of money from me with tshirts, tickets, cds and Spotify. Beyond that I pay for Spotify pay for Amazing prime pay for Netflix etc.

Quite the nutty episode.  Did not expect a dragon to go down and be turned...but really good that they got the dragon/army of the dead interaction in.  Was not expecting that until the very end of the series, and really ups the stakes now.

As far as the accelerated timing, it put Euron's teleportation to shame...apparently "send a Raven" now means a text message and dragons are equipped with hyperdrive.
