I've probably mentioned this before, but it always irked/baffled me that the show never let Stannis or Robb have crowns, yet Renly did and, bizarrely, Euron too.

Ever since I first read the books and learned about Littlefinger's duel with Brandon Stark, I've wished for his death scene to by a long, epic sword fight in which it is revealed that Baelish has been secretly honing his sword skills ever since and is now a great swordsman, and fights a duel against a white walker captain that ranges all over Winterfell from the gates all the way to the top of the highest tower

i'm fairly certain the "that's not you" line is Arya reflecting the dire wolf's own thoughts; Arya isn't Arya from back then anymore

it makes sense if you combine it with the Hot Pie scene from earlier where he asks her "what happened to you?" and she doesn't really answer him

She's good in movies where she isn't horribly miscast. Am I the only goon that liked her in "Me Before You"? I thought she was great in that.

I honestly have no idea why they picked her for Danaerys. Hailee Steinfeld in a wig would be better. Or maybe Elle Fanning. I dunno

The only instance from the books of the Seven maybe being real was that one priest-monk on the Quiet Isle that maybe perhaps might have magical healing abilities.

We also had that scene of old hag Mellisandra questioning her faith.

This might seem odd or sappy but that scene was one of the saddest in the show, for me at least. It was so forlorn and despairing seeing her old (real) haggard self crawl slowly into bed and pull the covers up, like someone just giving up and willing themselves to die. Might just be me though.

if people actually watched the god drat show instead of spending half of it typing away on their phones it might avoid so much bullshit confusion
