I'm appalled that he's still following/defending her.<br /><br />I thought the exact same thing about Euron riding in with his captives. I actually said, "why are the people so happy? They hate Cersei!" LOL! <br /><br />But Dany and Jon's scenes really stole the show! Great recap :)Berlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651998289718166892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-74774592262401844772017-08-02T19:32:43.575-07:002017-08-02T19:32:43.575-07:00It's so hard to believe Jon and Tyrion were la...It's so hard to believe Jon and Tyrion were last in a scene together back in the first season! I loved seeing them together again, and I felt bad for Tyrion trying to tread the middle ground between Daenerys and Jon.<br /><br />Melisandre's words to Varys gave me the chills! He's always the one who's a step ahead, but she rather one-upped him this time. It'll be interesting to see how what she said plays out.<br /><br />I thought Cersei's lips looked weird and felt dumb for not picking up sooner on what she was going to do. That scene was definitely too long and too talky. With the shortened season, there really isn't time for that.<br /><br />I am so, so, so, disappointed with how they've written Jaime on the show, and especially in this episode! I don't need him to become a hero, but what's it going to take for him to ditch Cersei? Book Jaime 1, TV Jaime 0.<br /><br />Bran was so spaced out that it kind of took away from his return to Winterfell. I'm still trying to figure out how his Three-Eyed Raven powers are going to figure into the story. I hope significantly because the show has spent quite a bit of time following his arc, even when he went missing for a whole season!<br /><br />Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-74228979897567927162017-08-02T01:00:58.394-07:002017-08-02T01:00:58.394-07:00Oooh yes, Bran was super creepy!

Don't you think Lady Olenna's statement to Jaime "that Cersei will be his downfall" or something like that is very prophetic? Totally loved the Dany and Jon scenes!

I was thinking that maybe in the book there is an scene they didn't include in the show where Euron's people infiltrated the masses to bribe them and edge them to cheer for him.<br />I think I lost respect for Jaime a couple of season ago already for the way Cersei manipulates him. It would be a great twist if he FINALLY turned on her!

I loved the fact that Jon Snow stood his ground, I mean Daenerys is kick ass and all but it doesn't do her any harm to be taken down peg or two!<br />Ser Davos cracks me up as did Tyrion, love these guys.<br />Jamie needs to get a grip though he has no willpower when it comes to his sister, god I hate her so much!

I'm not the biggest fan of him.

I also love seeing the dragons as much as possible. I REALLY hate the scenes with Cersei and Jamie. Can't he get a clue? I soooo want to see him take her out. Don't know if it will happen but I am hopeful. Glad Jon didn't give in to Dany. I like Dany, but she is starting to seem rather full of herself. I agree with Bran being creepy. Like why would he let Sansa know he envisioned her rape? Maybe he was secretly telling her he knows more about her than she is sharing with others?

I love Tyrion but he seems to not always make the right move. My random not is why hasn't Cersei's hair grown back?? I guess it is the way she wears it now but I feel like so much time has passed but maybe not??? The timeline throws me every time. Bran was super creepy.
