Great episode etc.

As I was saying, the dagger?

Anyway I'd misremembered. The dagger's provinence was discusset in series one Cat suspected it belonged to Tirian, encouraged by Little Finger.

It's obviously Little Finger's though. Bran knows. Chaos is a ladder.

The battle stuff. Sounded great. Classic heros with a thousand faces. Good guys suffer massive setback, then fight back and overcome.

Joffrey knicked the dagger from his father's armoury.
Tyrion hinted to Joffrey that he knew he was the source of the dagger.
Tyrion suspects him when Joffrey brags that he is no stranger to valerian steel and Joffrey's reaction to his hint confirms it.

Littlefinger merely suggested Tyrion was the source to Catelyn to start the chaos. He never actually knew or cared where it came from.

Littlefinger told Varys (once upon a time) that chaos is a ladder. Revealing that Littlefinger's philosophy is that upheaval is an opportunity for advancement and he values such over the good of the realm (he sees the realm as a mere intellectual construct rather than a virtuous thing).

Bran's reference is to hint that I know your game sonny jim.

Gah. Am I going to have to go back and rewatch everything. Maybe over Christmas.
 
Dragons incinerating bad guys is pretty cool but Bronn on the anti-aircraft gun was fucking stupid. Jon and Daenerys having a moment over some cave drawings which just happen to prove his story to her was fucking cringey. They get more rom com every episode. "I hate you, no I love you, bend the fucking knee".
 
When you think of all the teleporting armies and the army of the dead were like 20 miles away from Eastwatch there can only be one conclusion...

Jon built a MacDonalds near to Eastwatch that has no hot apple pies ready in the heater.
Sorry for the wait, it won't be much longer Night King.

We're never told on screen how long it takes for these armies to march, but the action takes place over many years. So we don't really have teleporting armies, it could have taken them weeks to get from a to b

True, except when armies travelling from different places manage to arrive at the same place at the same time. I can believe it this week, casterley rock is close to kings landing than the highgarden, so it's quite plausible the dothraki could intercept the returning Lannisters. When Eurons fleet was nipping back and forth while everyone else was just mooching around, less so.
 
bronn did the best teleport, a short range hop from qyburns weapon of dragon destruction* to 5-7 feet away before the dragonfire hit

*I said 'obviously they'll field loads of these to defeat a dragon' when the ballista was demonstrated to Cersie. Maybe there are more lurking at KL.

The Doth were on Dragonstone. A short boat ride away.
The Lanisters were traveling from High Garden. Plenty of time for Deny to ambush them which is why it's annoying that she missed the gold (which would have ended Cersei as a player once and for all).
The unsullied are marching across the kingdoms from Casterly Rock.

They called it a scorpion, which is a smaller version of a ballista
 
The scene with the dragon burning the supply train reminded me of the "Highway of Death" from the first Gulf War.

Wonder if it was intended?
 
Apparently obsidian IS dragon glass.

Still, expected something of a visual spectacle based on the reveal and music etc
 
But in a dark cave with just torches, what do you expect to see if the rock is black?
Glistening reflections, like stars in the night.

If the view is so shit, they shouldn't have made a big deal of it.

They could've even avoided the glistening thing by showing huge crystals like that Mexican cave that was on Planet Earth.

Anything except dramatic music, drum roll, camera pan and....a bit of rock that looks like every cave ever.

How do you mean? The gold was in the supply wagons which were burned to a crisp - Cersei is basically fucked now with no gold to pay the iron bank. The gold was useless to Daenerys though because she won't deal with the Iron Bank (them being friends of the slavers). The advantage is in her denying it to the Lannisters.
 
I'm really bored of bran. Can't he have a useful vision rather than just telling everyone what they've been up to recently? Also, that tree he sits next to is really daft looking. It reminds of meet the veggies from Mr bloom on CBBC.
