I loved the first episode. 2nd I didn't find all that great. Except when Theon looked as though he grew some balls (lol) for a second, but quickly turned into Reek. That was great. 

Big Euron Greyjoy fan. Without Joffrey and Ramsay, I need a new [censored] to barrack for. 

Needed more Hound.

I did enjoy Arya's comment about having baked a couple of pies lately, although it came right after I nearly had a vom watching Sam 'helping' Ser Jorah. 

In other semi-related news the kids were watching Horrible Histories last night (I'm partial to the 'Stupid Deaths' segment myself, has a very catchy ditty), and I noticed one of the actors was Mike Gatiss (thanks IMDB) who played Tycho Nestoris from the Iron Bank. He has a pretty distinctive face, although also thanks to IMDB I see I watched him just the other night in Taboo and had no idea who he was.

Ok, back on track...needs more Hound.

Whoops. Had a great attachment to...attach. It appears I've used up my quota though.

I thought Ep 1 Season 7 was fantastic!

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 :

 

Thanks so much for this. Keeping up with all the names is hard core!

this guy is a genius!!

Well that episode was lit. 

 

 

You saw what i did there. 

Queen Dani - please book your dragons in for some training with Aaron Davey. They have got to learn to zig and zag a bit and not go for the straight in approach.

Must have gone to the same coach Rickon did.

seriously - rickon - serpentine, serpentine !!!!! 

What are you up to little finger!

And how about the party heading north of the wall - sort of a medieval dirty dozen....

( also I want a dragon for Christmas)

A gloomy castle like Winterfell is the perfect backdrop for Baelish peering around corners in the semi-dark.

Arya to wear his face at some stage? Or just slice him up?

 

Happy to see Gendry back, and agree with@nutbean that's an iconic crew heading north of the wall. Has the potential for some superbly profane and insulting chats around the campfire led by the Hound. 

Why do they need to capture a white walker? Why not good old uncle BenJen? Or a child of the forest?

And whats with this cut throats dagger being passed around? Is it possible that it was the original dagger that produced the Nights King and it will show up in the very last battle with him?And does the marriage annulment mean that Jon Snow is actually the true Targaryan ruler? My mind is either GoT or Dees best 22. No room for anything else.

Didn't BenJen say he couldn't go south of the wall? If so, doesn't that rule apply to the other wights and White Walkers? Or can they just not pass through the wall?

My recollection of the original dagger used in creating the Nights King was that is was Dragonglass...could be wrong though. 

Re the annulment, I think you're correct. Ol' Sam was too distracted by talk of steps, windows and bowel movements to pick that up...I wonder if it's in his subconscious though? On Sam, I assume he's head of House Tarley now...does he still have his old man's sword that he stole?

Is Sam still a Nights Watch? If so, he cant inherit. So then does that make his bastard "Little Sam" head of House Tarly? I read somewhere that Bastards can inherit if no other Legit progeny exits. Therefore Gendry has a claim too. I understand that technically Little Sam isnt a true Tarly but hey..

 

 

Ahhhhh stop it stop it stop it!!!!  Tooo many questions!!! It is LOST all over again!!!!

Can't wait for Arya v The Mountain...I think we got a taste with the sparring recently.

Then maybe she will finish her list with Cersie

Arya rocks my world.

When Nev Jetta retires she would be the perfect replacement in the back pocket.

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.

For the sake of matrimonial harmony I watch this show by myself.

Nailed it. 

The Hound and Tormund need an Odd Couple spinoff. 

I was about ready to throw the remote through the tv as I thought Tormund was going to die. I felt that vibe earlier then he was getting dragged into the ice I was all [censored] you George R R, not again. Thankfully the Hound is a mad [censored]. 

Great episode but I thought the uncle Benjen bit was stupid. Out of nowhere, and why not just get on the horse?

But anyway, zombie dragon! All is fair in war now. 

Maybe Littlefinger will be done in next episode and Arya will use his face to find out who he's been scheming with...

Somethings brewing back in the North so that's my take.

A Walking Dead Dragon, doesn't get much better than that.

1 episode left, fricken joke, only series that thinks 7 eps is enough per season.

Quite amusing, Mrs KikA kept asking the question, where did they get the huge chains from, bit of a coincidence isn't it!

Anyone else pumped? It’s been a long lay-off.
