You'd find the books really cringe then as the TV series ups the character ages a bit.
Danny is 13 when wedded and bedded by Drogo.
Sansa is married off at 12 I think.
Martin will no doubt justify this by saying his world is medieval in basis and that's how shit went down in that time period.

I am a tiny bit obsessed with Margaret Beaufort. She was the "winner" of the war of the Roses and the battle of the bastards is very much based on her/Sansa's strategy. Margaret was 13 when she gave birth to Henry VII

I think the pivotal scene this ep was between Dany and Sansa.
Audience alignment is key to GOT’s success, and I think that moment saw us comprehensively flip away from Dany and cement our alignment (possibly allegiance) to the erstwhile Queen of the North.
Whatever happens from here on, if Dany ends up the feel good winner of the Iron Throne at the end, I’ll eat Lady Oleanna’s hat.

Living appear to win a hard battle at Winterfell only to realise that the Night King is already at King's Landing.
I just keep thinking about Brienne's knighting. Not only was it everything she's wished for, but she also had the absolute admiration and support of her peers. Sob. Oh God, she's so dead.

Dany has been billed as benevolent dictator all the way through. Only ruling cities across the sea because to abandon them would be to let people suffer.
Therefore her insistence that she rule all 7 kingdoms surprises me.
Jon Snow won't want the throne. He'll be like fuck that shit I just want to get the wall restored for when the next winter comes.
I'm not sure I'd want Sansa to rule the north. She seems a bit twisted by her experiences until she lets her guard down bit. But it's back up very easy. It doesn't seem a path to happiness for her.
I vote Lady Mormont. Everyone seems to follow her lead on who deserves the north.Theyd follow her as Queen and she'd kick ass at it.

I think Sansa is going to end up in charge of the North. She's being shown to be an effective administrator and shrewd leader, plus the North will accept her. There's no way the North will accept rule from KL unless it's Jon Snow, who would appoint Sansa in charge anyway.

OK how about they do defeat the white walkers, but they do not defeat the Night King.
The king steals Bran. End Ep 3
Cersei and her Gold Company need to be dealt with Eps 4 & 5
Bran has told Tyrion something by the fire that will help him be rescued OR for us to have sympathy for the Night King Ep 6
I've no idea who will sit on the iron throne

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
"oh bloody hell, you too? It's like being at a fucking wedding" made me laugh out loud
The rest was pretty bad. LOTR did the whole gathering doom of a siege thing better, and in less time. The writing is not good. The fighting next week should be excellent though.

Just one of your admirers. Carry on, there's enough rope.
The next episode is being shown in a 95 minute slot.

Getting a bit annoyed with these theories. Quite happy to just enjoy stuff as it happens without speculating on it.

Yes but how will the online content void be filled every week without endless theories and analysis pieces? The void gets hungry

YMMV but I'd avoid this thing called the Internet for the next few weeks. There are a fair few people who do enjoy the speculation, and places like discussion forums are essentially 90% speculating. The 10% is disagreeing about speculating.

Yeah. Tru dat

Stop...Hammertime
Enjoyed that, probably the best character-focused episode for ages, basically an extended farewell to several of the main cast as we head into the big battles and what will likely be frenetic pacing from now on.
Grey Worm may as well have had a giant death arrow above him, poor sod.
Pod and Tormund particularly great this episode, and Jaime knighting Brienne was well done. Best bit was the unintentional re-uniting of Ice (reforged into Brienne's Oathkeeper and Jaime's Widows Wail) back within Winterfell too, that was a clever moment

Yeah, poor old Grey Worm.
