Euron's stated desire was to marry a queen. Maybe Cersei plans to give him Elaria in the end.

Interesting theory. Yara is also a Queen, assuming she has the correct claim to the throne of the Ironborn.

Based on a regular season length, and the length of the other 5 episodes this season, it basically means this season is only 2 hours shorter than usual even though there are 3 fewer episodes.

According to the above link that I posted a while ago episode four is the shortest of the season coming in at 50 minutes.

Which she doesn't because Euron won the Kingsmoot.

Also, she's his niece. The Ironborn are weird, but they're not that kind of Lannister/Targaryen weird.

I was hinting at Cersei killing them both together...don't think they'd sleep together. Although I wouldn't put that past Euron. Yara did lose the Kingsmoot, but considers herself the rightful heir and has a fair number of followers. In her case "queen" is more of a self-declared title, but so is being the king or queen of the ironborn, as they are technically conquered by the iron thrown and can't have a king or queen.

A little under an hour long.

I'm sure looking forward to these feature film length episodes to close out the season. GOT nights will feel like movie nights, full of epicness!

Sand Snakes....I have the sneaking suspicion that from the many years of their use and testing of various poisons, they may have a small developing antitoxin reaction. So it may take quite a dose of poison to actually kill her.

Shortest episode of the season, but I don't think anyone will complain about that.

Haha. Between Jon, Arya and Bran, Sansa is wondering wtf happened to her family. She's not the most ####ed up one and by a wide margin. Ones a wizard, the other is a ####ing assassin and one came back from the dead.

Amidst all the bad-ass moments in this episode, my favorite quiet moment was between Bran and Littlefinger. Littlefinger's trying to weave his charming spell, and Bran just cuts him right to the bone with what he knows. "Chaos is a ladder". Nice. Bran's introducing an omniscient narrator into a story that has always had unreliable ones with limited views, flawed and biased perceptions, limited information, and so on. He's going to cause a lot of chaos I suspect.

Too bad Arya couldn't resist showing off a little bit with Brienne. I think this made things a little more difficult to eventually track down Littlefinger.

"Who taught you that?"

Well, that was a whole hell of a lot better.

The Sansa & Arya reunion was better, though still a bit underwhelming. However, Arya vs. Brienne was pure gold.

Bran gave a solid explanation as to his woodenness. And for those who didn't get the exchange with him and Littlefinger... L: "To go through that and make your way home again only to find such chaos in the world... I can only imagine..." B: "Chaos is a ladder." That's a common saying of Littlefinger, himself, showing that Bran's been looking in on Littlefinger.

Somewhat NSFW.


I loved, "Yes, I've seen you staring at her heart." And good to see Jon and Dany still remaining true to their characters.

And that battle... Wow! From the hoof beats preceding the appearance of any Dothraki, to the wave of them breaking over the hill, the appearance of a dragon in battle for the first time in Westeros in generations, with copious amounts of men on fire... The whole thing was both chaotic and coherent, with lots of good stuff from Bronn & Jamie, and a good build up to the wounding of Drogon.

Doesn't completely excuse the laskluster last two episodes, but renews my excitement for the next three.
