Starkiller Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 7 minutes ago, Rogue said: I'd argue the last episode was pretty talkie too. There was a lot of good character/story moments. Daenerys and Jon forming a bond being the most obvious, but also the somewhat awkward Sansa/Arya reunion, the Bran/Baelish moment, Tyrion's having to stand there while Daenerys says, "You mean your family!!!", Missandei's conversation with Davos and Jon, and I'm missing some stuff. A lot of stuff happened this episode with some good moments, Brienne/Arya and the Loot Train Battle was a shit ton of icing on the cake. Sure, but there is plenty of good dialog in many of their best action episodes. Blackwater, one of their finest, had Tyrion's great "those are brave men knocking at our door... now let's go kill them" speech. And Battle of the Bastards had some excellent dialog. But they will always be known for the great battle sequences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reunion was so calm, which is a strange emotion to choose and then it combines with the reaction Sansa had to Arya fighting. It feels like a potential setup for... I honestly have no idea. But it wasn't what I expected in either case. All the Arya/Sansa setup this episode is exactly, "I have no idea". I think it works though. There is definitely a "the reunion isn't all butterflies and rainbows" thing going on, which I'm kind of liking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Did anyone notice an odd response from Bran when he handed Arya the dagger? It seemed he almost had a regret handing it over, as if he knew it was something that leads to her demise. Jonboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to read what he knows without him outright saying it (like knowing about Arya's list). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have to see where he goes from here to guess what he'll do unless something he's already done qualifies. betrayed for love, not by love. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I wonder if Sansa will let Littefinger sucker her into something, and I'm not even sure she needs to be "suckered", she's disagreed with Jon all the way. She doesn't trust him but she could still use him. LittleFinger is also pretty desperate at this point. Could LittleFinger kill Bran since he can expose him? Little Finger ain't rolling over without some serious scheming and back stabbing? Or maybe as he is desperate he delivers Sansa to Cersi as he promised her?

I think the whole point is to show how much the Stark children have been shaped by events and changed over the time they were apart. Maybe it's the final dagger in Sansa's dream of the family being reunited and going back to the way things were before they went south with Robert.

Was listening to a podcast and thought it was an interesting point that prior to these family reunions Sansa had a horrible life but she had almost no first-hand experience with mystical elements of the world until now... and her siblings are back from the dead guy, mystical seer guy and super woman face-changer (not that she's aware of the face-change part yet). Meanwhile, Sansa is good at telling people to put leather on armor. She's gotta be unnerved as hell right now. MadMax, and Starkiller 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She thought her entire family was dead. I don't think it was anything negative. Just surprised and probably a little depressed at seeing how much her little sister has changed. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
