The next episode titled "The spoils of war". So it's a battle to see who gets to keep the Tyrell's gold. Call back to season one... Robert Barantheon: I'll fear the Dothraki the day they teach their horses to run on water. Coincidentally Daenery leading the Dothraki horde in the premiere trailer that look suspiciously at High Garden plain field and Jamie with his tails tuck between his legs. The bulk of their budget allotted to the next episode if the internet report is true. So showdown it is.
but... also in Season One Dothraki vs Westeros Knight, Dothraki 0 : 1 Westeros Knight their curved scimitar just aint effective on a well armored Knights of Westeros
Dany will be foolish to pit her unarmored Dothraki riders against a well armor Lannister Cavalry They maybe fastest & fearless, but against a well trained well armored and cavalry in formation? I'll put my bet on the knights
Nah....I trust the trailer more than your opinion. Fire melt armor sounds reasonable to a simpleton like myself. I watch GOT for entertainment reason and not for medieval warfare accuracy. Was not or never a fan of History Channel.... Furthermore you slog through 6 seasons not to see the good guys getting their ass kicked repeatedly. Its their triumph over enormous adversity that keeps you coming back. Of course this is just a non elitist snob opinion of mine.
Actually more interested in episode 5 than 4. If everything as per what the trailer indicated, will Jamie reunite with Tyrion and interested to know in what way would Cersei break rank with him.

Also a touted culmination of a fellowship line-up embarking to the north with Jorah, Gendry, Brotherhood without Banners and Jon.
Daenery's setback could be a rat in the house as the suspect vaguely hinted at Varys or Missandei.
With Melisandre leaving for Volantis and will she return later as a dues ex machina play. Again her final word to Varys may show the eunuch is more than meets the eye.
Appreciate they are closing plot threads as quickly as they could, but the newer mysteries also coming in nonstop. Every set-up just have me questioning is that another Chekhov's gun.

I couldn't care less about that. I'm just more amped up at the possible spectacle of Danerys wiping out Jaime's army with Drogon and her Dothraki cavalry. Field of fire 2.0!
You know when you see it and it's not exactly about the duel but what weapon that person is carrying. A pretty wtf sight.
To each their own as Daenery facing the Lannister pretty much a foregone conclusion so it's within expectation hence less intriguing for me. I'm all for subverting expectation!!!
Pretty solid episode...high octane battle, but still fall short of Battle of the Bastards. They are more plot machination at play.

Pretty sure the Golden Company will come in next with Tyco namedropping their significance to Cersei.
Cersei got the gold but loses the grains to feed his troops.
The Catspaw dagger mystery is driving me nuts as I thought it will be resolved this week. Started to feel Littlefinger overstaying his role at this point. Think the next Arya Stark adventure will be where Melissandre gonna be at since they owned each other one more encounter as foretold.
Think Drogon might show Daenery something more about Jon Snow based on the next episode trailer.
Littlefinger's comeuppance pretty much set in stone by this season. If I'm to to put up my tin foil hat there are way too many signs telegraphing his demise. Bran stonewalled his manipulation. Maester Luwin's raven record may implicate him as the chief architect that started the whole thing. So far he is not making any move against Cersei or Daenery and just holding on his grasp in the north which simply does not advance the story at all. Sansa's cryptic lines of wolf pack surviving it all could be the very last words she speak to Littlefinger as the Starks found out he is behind it all. Petyr Baelish was at his best when he does thing behind the scene while season 7 he is just lusting over Sansa at any given opportunity.
To a degree the show need to kill off plot threads in order to funnel attention down to the neccessary characters for season 8 otherwise there are way too many ground to cover since they are only 6 episodes for the final season.

Suppose another major discovery incoming from Citadel.
In regard to the Golden Company...either they team up with Cersei or Tyrion outmaneuver her sister with Jorah's insight of the mercenary group. If the showrunners wanted to rub more salt to the wound.

Tyco broker an alliance with the sellsword while Cersei uses the Golden Company to invade Bravos to loot the gold and resources. That would justify the Mad Queen's ambition. To quote Cersei: Power is power. Just pure speculation.
Consider episode 5 is that calm before the storm. Emphasize on placing the right chess pieces at the right place.

Hype for the all star of badasses assembled in the north. Gendry is awesome. If the Hound survives the next episode...Gleganebowl might still take place. Finale should be everyone converge down at the south.
Now the million dollar question will the penultimate episode able to match if not top "Hardhome".
Surprisingly Bran didn't tell anything about LF to his sisters. But he instead gave the dagger to Arya, maybe he saw Arya kill LF with the given dagger.
Bran pretty much already detach from his humanity. He only fixated on night king. Every thing else is insignificant to him. Sansa, Petyr, Arya just small fry to the bigger threat.
Don't think he is able to course correct timeline but only incite predestined events to happen.
After all the ink has dried according to the OG 3 eyes raven.
Hope the show will give us another one of his time travelling vision by the end of this season. Perhaps the owner of the dagger...a certain Targaryen Prince who obsessed with the prophecy??? It actually has double meaning when Bran asked who the dagger belongs to? Implying either the importance of the dagger or who ordered the assassination.
No we wont. Rumor has it they are making GoT prequels. So most likely it will be then.
Rumors also said Potpie, Jorah and Jamie Lannister are the candidate for Azor Ahai.
The showrunners gotten very deliberate of dropping bread crumbs to Jon's lineage. Hope it's not just cockteasing that amount to a cockblock. I think we will still see a cryptic scene of the prince if not just go full fan service. The payoff just needs to materialize otherwise don't see why they keep showing the same Chekhov's gun over and over again.
Also Arya haven't reunite with Jon yet in the literal sense. A possible lead in for how the dagger gonna play a role or I'm just a moron overthinking it.
Bummer....season 8 could delay til 2019 otherwise will air around fall next year. Do wonder how many episodes will be feature film runtime meaning crossing over the 90 mins mark.
Think this season finale will be 81 mins that is the longest GOT episode to date...I presume!
Episode 6 very clunky....the dialogues very uninspiring and not enough new things to know about. Pretty much rehashing things and themes you already knew.

Arya vs Sansa playing out like petty children arguing. They revert back to their old habit. One just brash and the other crying victim. Thought they already grown up. Night King taking down a dragon like with zero effort. Action wise is not as deep and profound as Hardhome. Maybe the last 2 minutes enough to redeem the weakest episode of this season.
Why make 1 episode 1 hour 20 minutes instead of divide it to 2 episode 40 minutes, they will get more money right
Actors salary goes by episode. If they split they are paying them twice for a single episode budget. Jon, Danny, Cersei, Tyrion getting 2mil++ each. Jamie, Arya, Sansa about 1mil++. So that's 12 to 15 mil extra cost if there are 2 episodes for finale. Not counting the supporting actors. Cinematic vfx cost truckloads of moolah.
I am sure they are being paid for two episodes worth of salary for this finale. It's 1 hour and 20 minutes. Even if the actors/actresses keep quiet, their talent agencies would have been suing their asses off. It's pure marketing strategy. It makes the fans feel like there's a lot in the finale that they have to combine both together. And also it's the finale, it's where a lot of loose ends come together, sneak peak into some newer plots and having a longer episode gives the tv series a grandeur before they end.
Nope I disagree...and it's ok for you to be disparaging. You do you and I do me. If the producer know how to use a calculator its a simple mathematics of reducing episodes to funnel the fund to other areas. Lesser episodes simply does not mean the workload also reduce. Out of the seven episodes almost up to 5 war scenes being filmed whereas the past seasons they only feature a singular epic moment in episode nine.
