That's what I thought when I agreed to visit my wife's friend's lakehouse. I am screwed. Spectrum doesn't license here.

Just cancel HBO via cable and sign up for HBO Now. It will work anywhere.
 
Jon Snow making everyone stick around last week while he added to his body count is looking really bad now. I am betting everyone wishes they had that dragon back.

Man I was concerned that the show was absolutely going off the rails for a minute. The writing continues to be a clunky Spartacus show but goshdarn that was an amazing last scene. Happy to see Littlefinger go down but the previous episodes really screwed up this arc.

My issues:the whole Kings Landing plot line, so basically the first half of the episode. Trying to redeem Theon - stop doing this! Don't care! Not sure how I feel about the John reveal either. What the hell is Jaime going to do now? Now that I think about it, I guess my opinion is that the entire episode was kinda lame and convoluted until the ending...
 
Not sure the point of the John reveal. The Theon arc becomes more relevant now that it turns out Euron and Cersei were playing everyone.

Tyrion looks like an idiot again.

Spartacus better not expect any spoiler restraint. Serves him right. America First.
 
Great finale.

The summit was awesome considering the backstories of so many in attendance. Even Pod/Tyrian as a small clip. Amazingly crafted.

Ice Dragon vs the Wall was jaw dropping for me.

Crazy to get the Jon Snow reveal + hookup with Aunt Dany + likelihood of her now being pregnant. All hit like a rush at once.

And, last but certainly not least? Sansa Sansa Sansa. That's my girl!!!

A+ on this one.

Now we are going to see Theon somehow kill Euron in the penultimate episode of the series and I will still not care about Theon.

Point on John reveal.

The audience already knows the John reveal, since Gilly read most of the annulment and marriage in the second or third episode. Unless it was just for exposition purposes, and to see if anyone is grossed out by an uncle and niece banging, what was the point?

It doesn't matter and I guess it never did. Jon is your future ruler of whatever is left of Westeros, there never really was a game... Rhaegar and Lyanna did what they had to do to keep the lineage... the rest has just been killing time until he's clued in on the truth.
 
Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but I can't resist nitpicking something completely unimportant:

The army of the dead - their cloths are in tatters, their skin is decaying and falling off - but they all have great shoes. The only thing they do is walk, shouldn't their shoes wear out first?

Some shoe company should work that into an ad campaign.

Snow and Dany have martyr written all over them.

I think a while back you had mentioned that you'd be disappointed if this was all a foregone conclusion and I think that's where we are heading.

Though I'm less convinced than ever that Dany makes it.

I think the point was that Bran and Sam each had half of the info regarding Jon. Bran knew that Jon was a Targaryen. Sam knew that Rheagars marriage was annulled, but that meant nothing to him because he had no idea that Jon wasn't Eddards son.

That is spot on and I retract my previous statement. We still didn't get the payoff, that will happen when John/Dany get the memo but good point.

I think Dany gets pregnant. The question is whether or not she survives childbirth.

If that happens, then Jon's seed is POTENT. That's prophecy busting seed right there.

If so, she better give birth to another dragon. That would be awesome.
 
Don't Targaryans traditionally sleep with each other or am I remembering the books incorrectly?

Def don't think she does. And I'll be surprised if a dragon makes it.

Definitely incestuous. That's why half of them were crazy. And the Mad King, the Mad King. Also, it's why Tyrion is malformed, as he's supposed to be very likely Targ in the books.

The audience knew before the characters. Now the characters have all of the pieces. Duh.

I believe that the Targaryen's have a history of brother marrying sister. A nephew marrying an aunt isn't quite as bad; at least in this case there is some non-Targaryen blood (Stark) in the mix.
 
Jon will now be surrounded by enemies on all sides: Cersei, Tyrion, Danny, The Night King. Makes sense to end the season with a stregthended Stark Family bond. The North may be all he has for a while next season.

The scene with Reek was nice foreshadowing as well. "You don't have to choose. You are a Greyjoy and a Stark." Substitute Targaryen for Greyjoy.....
 
I love that I predicted Littlefinger's end almost right on the money. Knew the Starks were talking behind the scenes and saw through his nonsense.

Ice dragon seems a little too potent really. Taking down the wall in a minute or so? So are Torbruck and the fire sword guy dead? Seems it.

The King's Landing scenes were generally good, and reminded us of all the interrelationships among this cast of characters. Tyrian and Pod for example. Outcome was entirely predictable.

Jon reveal was good, and overdue. Now the question is: does everyone take Bran's word for it? How does it change things? With Dany, among the Starks...lots to deal with, while an army of the dead bears down on you.

Jaimie seems to have reached his breaking point with Cersei. And Sansa thinks she's a slow learner. Does anyone see those two slow learners making attractive children? Nah, me neither.
