He can't help it if he's got a good taste in watches, some people just get jealous, after all, why else would they all say 'For the watch'?

Judging by the awkward silence, I take I'm not the only one who thought the last episode was a bit ****.

Yeah, I agree, it was pretty dull. I guess setting up... or pacing... or well, yeah it wasn't as good as the previous episodes. Even the ending was forced.

But! 4 more episodes, lets see what happens.

Yeah, Dany's speech was ridiculous and completely pointless.

Also, could Sam and Gilly maybe be killed off or something? Getting tired of the time wasted on those two.

Connecting episodes are a must.
Set up, background, some character development.

But

Since the last season was 10 connecting episodes in a row leading to a battle that was not shown I am a bit unimpressed.

I actually quite enjoyed it, yeah Danys speech bit was a bit cliché, but I liked the other bits enough.

I actually liked her little chat with Ser Friendzone (who may or may not be no longer hopelessly in the friendzone!? ), very inspiring... I scratched him off as "dead for sure" but now I have hope to see more of him.
He's cheesy, but I like him somehow.

Compared to the last season, this one works well for me so far. Some events happened surprisingly fast. Bolton, Jon actually seeing Sansa, Jon being back in general etc...
The last season was incredibly slow-paced, this one is rather fast, so I don't quite understand the criticism some give it.

Some episodes to go. We'll see. Just no more Dorne-stuff please. These sand-ladies are ridiculously annoying and I can not take them serious at all, mostly due to their bad performances last season. They seem... off.

Episode 7 proved to be more entertaining but I think they (the producers) are building up to a number of finales that may need more then the remaining three episodes in the series to do justice to......unless we are to be left hanging on some of the sub plots and awaiting series 8 for more outcomes.

Well, after this season, there will - most likely - only be 13 episodes more in 2 seasons. That's it.

It was Ok. Not sure I like The Hound being back. I like the character, but I'd be interested to know, if his 'resurrection' comes from R.R. Martin or from HBO.

Nice to see Jaime and Bronn together in the field again.
