The 'teleporting' thing is excessive though it's all over the Facebook pages.
We obviously see the scenes days, weeks, months apart, I've never had an issue with this.....and somehow this show gets attention for it when it is literally in almost every film/show.

If Varys said any more at Dorne it would lose dramatic effect, however I'd be keeping an eye on Varys because there's certain camera pans they use for things and there was one used on him right at the end of the show.
Let's not forget Blackfyre, imo still a possibility, also Varys ordered Dany to be poisoned in s1.

I did find the Arya thing surprising but that said the Freys are complete dumb*sses.

Those kids are little ninjas because of Qybyrn, if he was able to construct a zombie I'm sure he has no issue having his own miniature faceless men .

I've watched it back to back to back to back. Unbelievable!

I never thought a TV show would grip me like Breaking Bad, but this show, increadible.

Jon Snow is not only King in the North, he's also King in the South being the eldest child of Aegon Targaryen. Is he also immune to fire? Will the dragons recognise him as such and bow to his will instead of Kahleesi?

Jamie killed the mad king for wanting to do what Cersei actually did. In the books he abandons her, is this the trigger for that to happen in the show?

Cersei is unleashed! With no kids and no concience she is going to be one hell of a ruler.

If we look at who's left, Cersei, Kahleesi, The Sand Snakes, the Queen of Thorns and Jon Snow, you have 4 queens and a king. That's a pretty good poker hand.

10 months, it's going to be a long 10 months.

Chook.

Most of these people don?t realise it?s been happening the entire series, just want to pull out the ?lazy writing? and ?plot hole? buzzwords to make them feel special.

Jaime and Cersei go from Kings Landing to Winterfell in the very first episode. In Series 1, Catelyn goes from Winterfell to Kings Landing in 1 episode, same with her trip from The Twins to Storms End in Season 2. Catelyn leaves Little Finger for dust.

Not sure how long it will last though, every major house in Westeros wants her head.

I think the prophecy will come true and Jaime will kill Cersei to save his house.

It's just looks weird. One minute he makes a dramatic statement in a tropical oasis " fire and blood" and literally the next he's standing next to Dany on board a ship, like some sort of zombie.

My literal reaction was, Vary's wtf are you doing standing there?

I get directors want to show a united front and by-pass having to do anymore scenes in Dorne, but it comes across as weird. Just as weird as Vary's suddenly rushing off and saying farewell to Tyrion without telling him his plans... that was weird - why didn't he just tell Tyrion he was heading to Dorne to drum up support?

Sorry I sound nitpicky I know.

Still one of the best episodes I have seen. Ever.

Well even after a sleep, my jaw is still on the floor.
Might have to re-watch that!

Some of characters that died, I thought would. Pycelle has had it coming for a while, almost like they had no direction for him.
Thought Lancel would have had got it, not in the manner that it happened. Figured the High Sparrows would sacrifice Lancel, leading upto Cerceis trial which fuels fear causing Mountain to go nuts on the Sparrows arses.

Frey has had it coming a while, you can't do a Red Wedding and expect to carry on.

Margarey for me is the surprise one, and I must in be in the minority but Tommens death was a surprise for me.

I feel like they are cutting off the loose ends/ cleaning up the characters to really focus on 2 main things - Battle for Iron Throne and also White Walkers.

Be interesting to see where Benjen ends up, is he going to pay Jon a visit?
Jamie, Euron, Arya - All characters I am keen to see where they end up.

Still no sight of Gendry.

Hound, Brotherhood without Banners, Brienne, Pod all MIA

With Walder gone, does Edmure have any story left in him? Will he be forgotten?

What will Cersei focus on now? Does she have any idea that the girl that Robert wanted to kill back in Season 1 now has a big bad army and heading her way?

Benjen can?t get beyond the wall so he won?t be able to see Jon. Not sure where he?ll go.

I was a bit disappointed we didn?t see The Hound in this ep but hard to complain with so much going on.

Ahh okay, thanks for clearing that up. Would have liked to have seen the two re-unite. From memory, Jon had a soft spot for Benjen and vice versa.

That episode was nothing short of epic. Right from the get-go I was on the edge of the seat.
I preferred this episode over Battle of Bastards (which I also thoroughly enjoyed)

He'll be able to cross when the WW cross though.

His story is far from done - no doubt a few more important lives to save before he can rest peacefully.

I wonder how Euron is going with his 1000 ships.....

I guess he has a whole year to chop more wood...

Dont discount Littlefinger just yet. The guy has a way of making things happen for himself

I think this episode definitely beats Hardhome. I don't understand the amount of jizzing over Hardhome. Yes, very good episode, but in many respects the plot didn't actually advance a great deal, and Hardhome was only really about one big scene at the end.

Hardhome was the highlight of a very poor season.

We also got confirmation of the magic the wall has from Benjen. If he can't cross it then how will the White Walkers?

When Bran touched the Night King? said King was able to then enter the tree that they had been unable to cross into.

Same thing if Bran crosses the wall? Does he render its magic void?

Anyone else a bit confused as to what Bran and Meera do now? Benjen's just dropped them off in the woods north of the wall, Bran can't walk and Meera isn't strong enough to carry him, and it doesn't seem like they have a cart to pull him. How the hell do they get through the wall?!?!
