Ah Sand Snake whip girl? That makes sense.
I thought it was one of the sandsnakes (that was killed with the whip)? The other impaled on top.
Euron for king of everywhere.
Happy days. Great episode.
No fecking around there. Just killed every shitty character left.
So that's Tyrions plan fecked then. Oh well. 
when euron landed on the boat it kinda of reminder me of Legolas sliding down the big elephants tusk in LOTR
I'm glad they kept the sexier sand snake alive. Loved Jon grabbing Littlefinger by the throat.
Wow. Now that was the GOT that I love. Tremendous story progression.
Sad tyrion's plan backfired but now suddenly cercei and her troops look strong. One lucky bitch is she.
Spoiler : so I believe the gift euron was talking about is oberyns wife as a revenge for killing her daughter. Now that won't end well

And Dany is going to now show shes a dragon.
I really enjoyed that episode.
Danys scenes with Varys, then Mel then Olenna were great.
LF remains as sleazy as ever. But his whole chaos is a ladder thing will go out the window once an undead comes after his ass.
Cersei herself was making good points to the bannermen.
But the end was great. Euron actually looked like a badass.
Theon though. Lives to ... run another day.
Not quite.
Seriously though, how did people not catch it was 2 Sand Snakes at the front of the ship after battle? It's replicating how they were both killed.
Euron has some proper good armour given the amount of hits he took during that fight.
That Theon moment was fantastic though. Really solid acting.

It's 3am. Sue me.
Bronn will be out for revenge. Never got his bad pussy in the end...
Was Dany's hair different in that war summit scene? She looked way hotter than usual, whatever it was.
Well, at least this was much better than their last fight.
Everybody just looked... darker?
My speculation on what's going on;
Dany will now have to use the Dothraki to conquer rallying more support to Cersei's side which will mean a more fair fight, I think the Dothraki were meant to be deterrents. I wonder if now that Jon's gone Littlefinger may plant the idea in Sansa's head that she can be queen if he's not about. Sansa/LF will marry then the season after Sansa will turn on Jon fully.
I think the dragon gun will be a red herring.

Speculation on SandSnakes
SandSnake is going to end up dying horribly. Just think about their family history. Mountain rape, death scene incoming. 
The dragon gun was nice. Given how big Danys army was, I like the way they are trying to even it out.
I really really hope we dont have LF BS with getting married to Sansa. Poor girl, imagine going from engaged to Joffrey, to marrying Tyrion, to marrying Ramsay to then marrying LF. I dont even think her character is 18 yet lol.
Spoilers/review.
I'm confident based on the quality of these first two episodes that they can carry this through.
Well, that was a great episode, that.
The speed and efficiency from season 6 is still present but each scene really feels momentous now, as though the end of each line of dialogue will have bigger ramifications down the line. Even the smaller scale scenes - like Qyburn and Cersei with the crossbow, Jaime and Randyll negotiating, or Sam and Jorah picking scabs - feel hugely important these days, so the more intense scenes involving main characters (Jon, Dany, Tyrion, etc.) have a level of impact that's even heavier, it's serving the show's heightened stakes really well. That opening scene in Dragonstone - the storm roaring outside, the candles providing modestly hellish lighting, the tension between Varys and Dany while Tyrion struggles to keep the peace - was superbly composed; with Qyburn's crossbow the show has finally introduced something which means the dragons are no longer infallible; Grey Worm and Missandei's scene went on a little too long but it was delicate, tender and added a lot to their characters which is more than you can say for any other scene they've been involved in since season 5 (seriously, any episode that can make me care about their relationship is a good one in my view); Jorah and Sam is a double act I want to see more of and their scene was amazingly gruesome; Jon and Sansa have finally reached a reluctant agreement about who's in charge, but Littlefinger's going to worm his way in like he does. God I hope he dies this season.
A couple of gripes: you could have shaved ten seconds off Grey Worm and Missandei's (admittedly lovely) sex scene and given it to Arya and Hot Pie. Their scene in the pub just didn't breathe - there was lots of dialogue but not many pauses. And the editing of Euron's attack was pretty unusual, like it was playing at 1.5x speed. I thought it was down to me watching it in standard definition, which has never done any justice whatsoever to scenes involving rain/darkness in my opinion, but only repeated viewings in 1080p will confirm that for me. Not to take anything away from what actually happened in that fight, because we have two dead Sand Snakes (hooray, tbh, they were shite), Euron has his "gift" for Cersei, and Theon's had a psychological episode that might just push Yara over the edge in terms of trusting him ever again. So while it wasn't the best scene they put together, a lot of important events happened in quick time and were hugely memorable. It's also nice to see so many characters crossing paths without it feeling strange - the risk of having Dany mention Jon Snow and vice versa, of having Sam and Jorah in a room together, even having Jaime and Randyll chatting felt like it'd always been part of the show's make-up.
9/10 tbh.

Littlefinger is getting a bit stale for me. He went from his infamous 'Chaos is a Ladder' moment to, 'Hey, I totally wanted to bang your mom. Missed out on that, LOL, but your sister will do.'
Yeah he's not really done much in the past few seasons. Really stagnated, although hopefully he'll be plotting and scheming again now.
Hopefully his scheming comes to an end soon.
Has Nymeria gone rogue then? Or will she return to Arya in the episodes to follow?
Woof! the writing on this thing. That prince/princess translation mix up was the dialogue equivalent of watching a Steinway being rolled down the Potemkin steps. And that nudey scene would hardly have been any more awkward if I was watching it sat next to my gran, at her wake, with all the family.
Jim Broadbent is so far singlehandedly holding up the pretence to legitimate drama. Wasted here.

Nymeria hasn't gone rogue!
She was set free to prevent her being killed at Joffrey's request and now is leader of her own pack and will no longer serve any human anymore.
Arya accepts this and bids her farewell,grateful that she knows she's still alive. and further knowing that following Arya to Winterfell- and certain war- would likely realise in Nymeria's death.
With only Ghost alive ,by the side of Ned's children,it seems likely that he may perish in the coming war leaving Nymeria the sole survivor of the original Direwolves.
The power parity in the movies is a bit baffling to me.
Yara supposed to have a fleet and army of their own but a boarding party away from total annihilation.
Stannis was said to be one hell of a general and he suddenly lost to a ragtag bolton clan? Snow or no snow it's abit too deux ex machina.

Good ol Theon
So that's Tyrions plan fecked then. Oh well.
It was a terrible plan anyway.
Show runners apparently explained the Nymeria scene after the show. It was a call back to season 1 scene where Arya says to Ned Stark that being a normal princess is not for her. Here nymeria refusing to go back to Winterfell to be a domesticated wolf again is scene as her saying the same to Arya, hence why the latter exclaims "It is not you" after Nymeria turns back. This could echo Arya's arc from this point onward, may be she will be turn back to go to King's landing?
Didn't the translator feck the dickless warrior in a previous season? Their sex scene made, like, no sense.
This show has become so so dumb.
"Prince/Princess"
We built a big crossbow
Sam has to tell Jon that Davos' (who is with Jon) home has dragonglass
No one saw Euron's whole fleet
Presumably we'll just forget about the sand snakes using poison

Ffs Theon!
Wow.. What an opening for the episode.. Loved the intensity in Varys when telling where his loyalties lie..
What's happened to Theon gain,after all that he went through with Sansa,I thought he would continue that risk taking behavior.. He's suddenly gone back to his Reek persona.. The look on Yara feels like if they cross path again she wont trust him..
As far as Nymeria is concerned,I'm happy they let a direwolf free and let it live,rather than kill her off too.. Maybe someday Arya might need her help and she can get her pack to join in too..

Missandei looking a level above the rest, as per.
Thought it was an interesting episode with a lot of politics/tactical decisions being made. Daenerys' plan, Jon's decisions, Cersei trying to get loyalty, Arya going North... seemed to be setting up the next few episodes.
Daenerys & Varys scene was excellent.
Daenerys finally got a plan in place to attack King's Landing & it burns to the ground (irony). I reckon with what's happened with the fleet & Olenna's advice, she's going to change tactics. fecking Cersei gets the upper hand again!
Arya to Hot Pie 'I didn't do that...' Was hoping she would get back to see Jon but unlikely to happen. The scene with the Direwolf
Sansa has the North. Or, should I say, Littlefinger has the North?! I hope Arya slices that cnut & bakes more pie. Jon can now go to Dragonstone to bend the knee & get Dragonglass!! Thought Daenerys seemed a little annoyed at the thought of 'king of the north'. I don't think she's setting him up, however.
The Ser Friendzone scene with Sam was nasty - especially the transition to the guy eating.

They're milking missandei tits.
I bet she signed the contract before being famous. And the nudity is gratious!

I had all of the same thoughts.
The spear is the one that pissed me off the most, it's like qyburn somehow managed to get a hold of the 3rd Hobbit movie to see how to bring a dragon down.
Davos not saying one thing about dragonglass is probably the biggest oversight for me, there's just no way he wouldn't know about it already.
1. Yeah agreed. That made me cringe a bit.
2. Nothing wrong with the crossbow. Although it did seem a bit daft that nobody else came up with that idea given Dragons were about for decades.
3. Dragonglass is a material that is largely forgotten about. It's only effective against White Walkers and the last time they were around in Westeros was hundreds/thousands of years ago. It's a very rare material (when Sam found the bag in the North he mentioned it's rare stuff). I would therefore assume that Davos had no idea there was Dragonglass at Dragonstone, why would he?
4. Yeah, this bothered me although his ship had no lights and did come out of fog. I can only assume they were waiting for boats to ambush and got lucky that it was Theons lot. Could easily have been Greyworms fleet.
5. They were ambushed, they only use poison when they have time to put it on. It's not like a fantasy weapon with +10 poison damage.
Is yara not dead?
