    I don't know why you guys think The Hound hates Arya, or that he ever did; he never hated Arya, he protected her ( and Sansa too), when he didn't even need to do that, because having her with him caused him more trouble and at some point he realised he wouldn't be getting any money and he still kept protecting her to a point of risking his life against Brienne. The hound likes the Stark girls a lot, very protective of them.

      The hound loves Arya and he understands her because he taught her how to survive and how to be mean, but she also taught him some things about his own humanity and that some things just matter because they do, he's still a mean one but the development of both characters is an amazing arc to the story to say the very least evidence that she loves the hound was her taking him off her list.

    My theory is that Cersei couldn’t bear Tommen’s loss if she dwelled on it for too long, so she just shuts her emotion off entirely. Her motherhood was her last trace of humanity and it’s out the window.

      Cersei loves no one but herself. Jaime, Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen were extensions of herself. Pawns that she used to gain power. She intended to rule through them, and once they were all gone she said fuck it I'll rule on my own. She thinks of herself as literally "Tywin with teats"

    I love how Daenerys landing on Dragonstone was such a huge moment that it didn’t need any dialogue. Hearing the Targaryen theme mixed with Daenerys’s dragon and Essos theme was such a powerful moment. Dragonstone is one of my favorite Ramin Djawadi tracks. You can feel the might of House Targaryen and see it in the parts of the castle that we didn’t get to see with Stannis. Daenerys arriving there makes it feel like a completely different place. For her it’s a new beginning and symbolizes so much for her family so it’s sunny and beautiful but to Stannis it was like a punishment so it felt dreary and empty.

      I love how the music has a Middle Eastern flavor in the beginning, but as soon as she touches the sand, it switches over to a more Western sound. The moment that always gets me choked up is where they open the gates, she looks at the castle, and is fighting back tears as she climbs the steps and goes through the gate. Such a powerful scene that needed no dialogue at all.

    21:00 While that scene has tension and humor in it, it also displays a more human side of the soldiers and habitants of this world. i wish we would have seen more of it across the seasons. but maybe that was intentional. like when you are highborn, you live in your own bubble and dont even see the plebs anymore.
    Also this scene portrays perfectly, what the people think about Cercei. With one King dying after another, the loyalty has taken its cracks. And now a woman sits on the throne.
    And it also gives Arya a reflection of her own thinking. She is living on her own for so long and always around people with grey/dark morals. These humane discussions about every day life and daydreaming the future just shows how out of touch with the world around you you can become if you are always trapped in your own bubble of reality. That not every stranger is out for blood.
    This scene is so underrated, because people only see Ed Sheeran in this scene.

    And just think... David is an ? 80 year old? man who had to act as if he were a teenage girl playing a 90 year old man. And he did just excellent at it. You could tell there was something just a little off with the shit he was saying. Give the man an Emmy!!!

    "Ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to grow up and marry the most beautiful woman in the world"....but my niece and nephew got to her first, so here I am.
    Because of the end of this episode, you can tell that they specifically used lighting and night scenes to make the castle Melisandre's castle specifically and dreary dungeons and rooms to show Stannis's side of the castle, not a hint of Targaryens. If you remember Mel coming into Shereen's dreary room and lighting the candles before leaving, kind of saying "we are one now". Dreary Stannis and fiery Melisandre.
    Arya gets a nice little lesson that not everybody on the "bad" side deserves to die. They are just on the wrong side. Except for the Freys lol

    Dany’s scene in this always gives me the goosebumps and made me so emotional. She always wanted to go Home. The last time she was in Dragonstone, she lost her family. Now, she’s here. She’s finally Home ❤️🔥👸🏼
    The way her theme song also shifted. when she was shown it was her themesong plus the dothraki themesong when she touched the sand, the dothraki themesong stopped signaling that a phase has already ended for her story. She’s finally in Westeros and left Essos.

    Fun fact:
    When William the Conqueror arrived in England, he fell out of his boat and onto his hands and knees, instead of standing triumphantly.
    But one of his soldiers instead shouted "Look! Our King reaches to grab the land that is rightfully his!"
    William grabbed the sand with both hands and announced "England is ours!" To his men.
    I always thought this was referencing that scene - a would be Conqueror with a mighty army coming to claim the land they see as their right based on dubious legal principles.

      Tommen gave them power so that his wife didn't have to do the walk of shame similar to what his mother had done and for her part Margery manipulated Tommen by recruiting him for The High Sparrow, her atonement, she knew full well Tommen would ban trials by combat as it was Margery's plan to have Cersei face a religious trial and be found guilty, this would leave her as Queen with her younger easy to manipulate husband, while that manipulation was going on, since Tommen was proclaimed King, as his Regent Cersei has been manipulating Tommen too and installed the faith militant and The High Sparrow, While he is the Monarch Tommen has no actual power as he is still a child. Kevan Lannister as Hand of the King and Regent after both Queen Margery and Queen Cersei's arrests, was the one along with the Small Council who installed the full authority to The High Sparrow. That is way Cersei has no issue burning the Sept where Margery, Margery's Father (member of the Small Council) Her Uncle Kevan (Regent/Hand of the King) where present. Tommen outlawed Trial of Combat not because he was attempting to betray his mother, but rather in his youth as a young boy (Tommen is younger than Rickon Stark) believed his mother was pure and that the charges of incest and adultery were false, he assumed his "pure" mother stood a better chance having a trail by faith, than a trail by combat. Tommen had already witnessed his Uncle's Champion and his Mother's Champion both die in a trial by Combat and he was not going to risk his Mother's life. Again Tommen was innocent, everyone around him, His Grandfather, Mother, Wife, Great Uncle, Religious Mentor were all manipulating him. He couldn't bare to live with the fact Wild Fire was used under his reign and hundreds of lives were lost, and that it was his mother that used the very weapon his "Uncle" Jamie prevented the mad King from using. Tommen couldn't cope with the fact he lost both his wife and mother. His Wife Burnt alive in the Sept and Cersei's veil of purity was removed and Tommen got to see his mother as the monster she was and that broke him so he ended his life

      @@brandoman79 It wasn't Margaerys plan to ban trial by combat. She had no idea that would happen. Her plan was for Tommen to go into the faith temporarily so the high sparrow was fooled and pleased enough so she and her brother could be freed. Loras told her "let them win" and thats what she did. She didn't care about her feud with Cersie anymore. She was focused on freeing her brother. Once freed they would find a way to get rid of the Sparrows. It is implied she even avoided Cersei when she was freed and she spent her most of her days hanging with Septa Unella to make the Sparrow believe she was converted. Trial by combat was banned after Cersie was stupid enough to order the Mountain to kill one of the sparrows. So Cersie shot herself in the foot once again and was backed into a corner by her recklessness.

    She had only one line this episode, but damn!
    Was so waiting for your reaction to the cold open for months, completely worth the wait.
    and Nikki reaction to the Sam open, just about the same, "threw up a little in my mouth" sums it up completely.

    In regards to Sansa's questioning Jon's choices and decisions, I saw it as an unpleasant necessity, she adopts the role of a naysmith, which is the opposite of a sycophant. She points out the faults in his decisions because someone must. Ser Davos did this for Stannis at times, and he was good at it.

      True but he did it in the small counselor meetings. Sansa challanged him in front of everyone that followed Jon in the North where the little fingers in the world will feel bold enough to question him too.

      @@lstarsabb Yes, but that too serves a purpose; First it gets the issues out in the open and reveals Jon's character to everyone (potentially good or bad, depending on the audience), second it's bait for any hot-headed detractors that would pile on after Sansa's challenges, so Jon knows what everyone is thinking.
      Stressful, but very clever if done right.

    Awesome reaction its funny the relationship of Jon and Sansa parallels Jaimie and Cersei the conflict between Jon and Sansa was realistic Sansa was understandably pissed as the Umbers and Karstarks threw in with Ramsay the man who physically and psychologically terrorized her but Jon knew he had to give an Olive branch to these families mostly with the army of the dead at their doorstep he can’t afford inner squabbling between the north but because he had to show these families he was a different leader than Ramsay he is capable of being benevolent the Umbers sided with the Boltons because Jon allied with the wildlings and the Umbers have spent years fighting them so Jon is basically showing no ill-will to them he’s offering forgiveness instead of holding a grudge. Jon also is mending relations with the Karstarks as the reason they turned was because Robb beheaded their lord Jon showing mercy to them is his way of repairing the bond between their houses. Also yeah that was Ed Sheeran as the singing guy at Arya’s campfire. Don’t worry we were all nauseous at Sam’s scene the sloshing noise you couldn’t tell which went in or which came out. Keep it up can’t wait the next two really pick up the pace.

    07:00. Part of the magic that is involved in being a "faceless man" is that the person wearing the face has access to all the memories, mannerisms, and voice of the person they are becoming. In the book, when Aria wears a face for the first time, it is of a girl who was strangled by her father, and in a moment of panic she re-lives the attack on the girl she is impersonating.
