what do we read into that varys/meelis exchange. He was in gentle barby gloat mode (as per) till she says 'I have to die in this strange country, as do you' or similar. Speaking of a return. He looked a fraction worried there, troubled.

I noticed that too. No idea what it means tho.
 
foreshadowing

but also the balance of probabilities

I'm a little disappointed that one of those dragons didn't land on the wall and sit nuzzling Jon Snow's head whilst purring.
 
Varys is bound to die in Westeros. Littlefinger will surely do for him.
More interesting IMO is that Melidandre said she has to come back once more to die...
 
That was fun, eh. Euron's mid-atlantic shitness was mildly tempered by some good lines, at least.

Are Jon and Dragon Momma gonna get it on, then, irregardless?

Jaime's off for a bit of bro-time now, clearly.

What could the iron bank do anyway if she doesn't pay up? Do they have their own army?

According to the Wiki I just read, in the books they force you to pay by funding your enemies if you don't. With enough funding, the enemies win the war, replace the current ruler, and then repay their debt to the Iron Bank..lest they suffer the same fate.

Bran Stark bit was very wtf, no?

He's been travelling for ages in a freezing wastes beyond the wall... and where do they put him? Outside in the godswood, leaned up against a tree.

I'd be pissed and sulky too.

At least give me a room with a hot fire and a bovril if you want me more like my cheery self.

p.s. Winterfel was burnt down. Including the weirwood tree. But let's us not let such things stand in the way of the current director's penchant for dramatic symbolic settings.

Hey bro, how've you been?
I'm the the eyed raven
What does that mean?
It's hard to explain, but basically I see everything, and know everything. Like, remember the night you were raped? You looked so hot.
.......

Nope, not weird at all :hmm:

yeah, you can hardly blame Sansa for going 'well, I'll just go back to the castle then. Can't you walk back? Oh dear,what a shame'
 
It was hardly evidence of all seeing / all knowingness.

It snowed and you were pretty.

It's winter and she is always pretty.

Ask me about last Saturday in Dorne?
It was windy and an old woman complained about something.

Yes - that's why they paid for Stannis' army, so he could become King and pay back the Baratheon/Lannister debts.

Played a blinder there then. Seems like the motto of the Iron Bank should be 'Throwing Good Money After Bad' in Latin, or Valyrian or whatever.

The travel time thing is getting a bit silly now. And Euron has now had to sail past Dragonstone at least four times to get into and out of KL, you think one of those times he'd have been spotted and torched by dragons.
 
Yeah, it used to be that you could have drawn a map of the world with each character's journey picked out in reasonable ways. Now it's like a 3 year old has a hold of the crayons.

I like the concepts and drama - Euron wrecking shit at sea, the Unsullied getting stranded, Dany returning to her ancestral home etc. but it all falls apart when you look at a map.

Euron parading through kings landing at the same time as his navy is trashing the Unsullied's ships on the other side of Westeros. Not sure what's more unlikely - that he could be in two places at once, or that he wouldn't be saving Casterly Rock on board his flagship :confused:
 
Maybe I'm a fool for assuming that things happening in the same episode are meant to be happening at approximately the same time.

On reflection, given the show's new ''writing style'', that's probably the case.

It kind of makes sense if Euron headed to KL after clobbering Yara's fleet and sent the rest of his ships on to Casterly Rock.

What doesn't make sense is how he built all those ships in the first place.

e2a: And how did he know Yara and Theon would be heading off to Dorne with Ellaria? He had clearly planned his 'gift' to Cersei in advance...

I reckon they're magic ships made from weir tree wood the Iron Islanders pillaged from the mainland. They can teleport, be in two places at once, are fireproof, invisible and are built to home in on enemy ships flawlessly.

All this will no doubt become clear when Yara and Euron have a nice chat over cake and wine, after he's married to Cersei.
