I actually thought Battle of the Bastards (2nd last episode) was the finale and was pleasantly surprised on Monday at work to find out there was still one to go. 

Did anyone notice that Varys seemed to travel between places very quickly?

All of them, sometimes it is quite ridiculous, like little fingers Army just happen to be in the area.

    Little Finger's army was organised secretly by Sansa, in the next episode she refers to how she should have told Jon they were coming and that they need to trust each other, or something.

    not quite sure i would have been quite as forgiving ! there was a pile of bodies of Jon's army that you couldn't climb over and maybe Jon would have planned a little differently if he knew the Little Fingers army was just around the corner. A sorry and a kiss on the forehead wouldn't cut it for me.

    Yeah i know she organised it but some nerd has done figures of how far landmarks are from each other and it says that it is 70miles from Eyrie to the bloody gate and a further 170 miles to the border of The Vale alone, going by that it would be 1000's of miles to Winterfell whether you believe him or not.

    I think it's better watched in one hit, if you get the time. I watched yesterday's episode but plan on recording the rest and watching at once. The only issue is my little one is due around the time of the last episode, so I may never get to watch them.

    Thanks for the tip but I'm afraid the only help for me would be some sort of Venn diagram posted above the telly. Speaking of which congrats on the little "on" .

    You will watch even more now but it will be shows like telly tubbies. Enjoy.

    Left for dead  - nekk minut - he pops up in a religious cult chopping wood and then found by Beric Dondarrion. Glad he is still in the series  - my second favourite for the amusing quip behind Tyrion.

    He was wounded, left for dead. But it's the Hound. Of course a wound won't kill him. Great character. 

    I like this new Greyjoy [censored].

    I swear I see more people saying they haven't seen this show than people that watch it talk about it. I just posted on a mates post who said he hasn't seen one episode. Why is that worthy of making an announcement? You might love it.

    Had a bone sticking out of his leg didn't he? My favourite character in the show. I've always hoped he and the Mountain would have some huge face-off at some stage, but his vision now has me worried he'll end up meeting his demise at the hands of the White Walkers.

    He has to battle the zombie hulk Mountain. I've been hoping for that battle the whole time too.

    Ed Sheeran's cameo was absolutely cringeworthy and unnecessary. 

     

    I was hoping Arya would wear his face and quit the music industry.

    go sit in the naughty corner and think about what you said. Have you lost your mind.

    I am not an avid  TV watcher but there are two shows I don't miss - GOT and Last week tonight.

    For anyone like me who has a tough time remembering the previous seasons and all that happens there is a chap on youtube who goes deep into explaining each episode and how it relates to what happens in the books. His channel is full of cool GoT stuff, here's his episode 1 recap of season 7 :

    Not to say we are strict in our household but Mrs Bean does have a habit of asking questions in the middle of episodes.

    We have now made a rule - we give her a pen and paper and we address all written questions after the episode. Harsh but fair.

    Such a long wait and a huge anticlimax.

    I already miss Margaery and her beautiful big...eyes.

    Completely forgot everything that happen in the last few episodes of S6.

    Glad it is back but I hope it actually goes somewhere quickly this season.

    Gotta say I was a little underwhelmed with the first episode.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
