WARNING: HERE BE DRAGONS (probably) AND SPOILERS

THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSION OF SEASON 7, EPISODE 5 "EASTWATCH"

Come and discuss the fifth episode in the penultimate series, airing August 14th at 2am UK time! Don't read the thread if you want to avoid finding out what happens in Season 7 but also Seasons 1-6. Only three more episodes to go this season!!

Please avoid discussing leaks and production details for Seasons 7 and 8 but speculate away on what we have learnt from the new episodes and what it might mean for the rest of the Season and the ultimate winner(s) of the Game of Thrones. There is a spoiler thread running here if you want to talk about production leaks and insider information as well

Wait, did I say that out loud?

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 14/08/2017 02:54

I lol'd at "I thought you'd still be rowing" Nice if obvious wink to the audience

Jorah 😍

Dany is about as crazy as Cersei at this point, although visibly had the horn for Jon in the dragon stroking scene. Metaphor much Grin

"You're a lot leaner" "You're a lot shorter" HA!

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 14/08/2017 02:55

HOLY FUCK ANNULMENT!

WickedLazy · 14/08/2017 02:56

Jon is legitimate then?!

Laughinginyourface · 14/08/2017 02:56

Omg how did I manage to forget I had to do that, oh well I can barely keep my eyes open now so I'll watch it in the morning and be back for all the gossip. Enjoy.

twattymctwatterson · 14/08/2017 02:57

Fuck sake Sam, that was IMPORTANT INFORMATION

twattymctwatterson · 14/08/2017 03:06

The fellowship!

weaselwomble · 14/08/2017 03:09

Twatty Grin

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 14/08/2017 03:11

Ha Twatty spot on!

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 14/08/2017 03:17

At the beginning of the first season who would have thought you'd have Jon, Davos, The Hound, Jorah and the leader of the Wildlings (then later Gendry and the Brotherhood) all in the same room fighting for the same cause? That was aces 😎

OlennasWimple · 14/08/2017 03:17

Was the book that Gilly was reading one of the ones that Sam took with him? IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!!

Didn't like the fanservice "still rowing" comment, and thought Gendry's hammer looked a bit light weight.

But loved the episode - will have to re-watch it tomorrow, felt like there was a lot of stuff in there to digest

Have been lurking on these threads - I'm a latecomer to GoT - I binge watched all the previous seasons just before this one started.

Annulment & new marriage??!!
That means John's legal & has a greater claim to the throne than Danaerys then?!
And Cersei is pregnant 😮

Lots & lots in this episode - will watch again tonight....

This season seems to be the season of reunions. Shame they didn't show gendry and Arya. Or the hound and Arya and Sansa. I wonder if they even know. Glad Gendry is back and loved the rowing comment. So Jon is not a bastard! Holy cow did not see that one coming. Felt like screaming at the TVs and Sam to listen to Gilly. Hope they packed that book!
What did LF scroll say? I couldn't make it out.
I didn't think Cersie could have any more babies? The Maggi said she would have 3. Not sure what to make of that

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 14/08/2017 04:40

The scroll message was the one that Cersei made Sansa write waaay back in series 1 - saying that Ned had committed treason.

Robb Stark & Maester Luwin realised at the time that it was written under duress.

Thank you. Though I guess it wasn't of any importance, just LF trying to catch Arya at spying. Those two playing a game of spying on each other whilst the rest of the world focused on the important things like the walking dead Hmm
My inner mummy watched the last scene, I guess it was meant to be powerful watching them all step out of the wall, but all I could think was why non of them were wearing hats. It looked bloody cold. Get them boys a hat!
Noticed to ghost reference by Sansa, that he's waiting patiently for Jons return. So he is still around. I guess he's kept in kennels or jobs chambers due to the size of him, if he's anything like the size of nymeria.
Really must go to sleep now...

I want to know how Bronn dragged Jaime so far away from the fighting without coming up for air. Was there a particularly strong current helping him along?

Wonder if Cersei is going to have Bronn killed for arranging that meeting between Jaime and Tyrion?

Middleoftheroad · 14/08/2017 06:45

Christmas - ah but I think.it is important. He's also aiming to pit thr sisters against each other given that Arya is already questionning Sansa's loyalties and true intentions...

My quote of the episode:
Davos "the only thing that fucks you is time" or words along those lines.
They gave Davos even better lines than Tyrion in this one.

I loved it when Gendry swung the hammer

Poor old Jorah seeing Dany and Jon's blooming romance

There was emphasis on Sam not knowing about the Tarly bbq, so when he does find Dany and co and learns of his brother's roasting, that could be tricky for Jon.

Just watched next week's trailer - it's going to be epic!

Middleoftheroad · 14/08/2017 06:47

Review here

ChaircatMiaow · 14/08/2017 07:14

I seriously doubt Cersei is really pregnant, which affirms my belief that Jamie, not Tyrion, is the Valonqar

RhinoGirl · 14/08/2017 07:21

Yessss!! Although I was shouting at the TV... fgs Samwell Tarly!!!

Figgygal · 14/08/2017 07:22

Squuueeeee

So many people coming together now

RhinoGirl · 14/08/2017 07:22

Anyone have a link to next weeks trailer?

Middleoftheroad · 14/08/2017 07:27
WinchestersInATardis · 14/08/2017 07:28

I agree with ChaircatMiaow. I suspect Cersei isn't actually pregnant. It's far too convenient at at a time when she's trying to keep Jaime toeing the line.

Also Sam just talking over Gilly...uuuuuggh

Middleoftheroad · 14/08/2017 07:28

There are also various trailer breakdowns. It looks fan friggin tastic!
