I  imagine if you are predominantly right handed you could make it work more than a golden fist. I mean the golden hand signifies they have the funds to find something that works to his advantage other than a golden fist?>
You can make it work in some cases, but why bother if you can have an actual sword in your left? Its far more effective.

17
Sigefrid loses right hand replaces it with useful arm sword.
How is that useful? You can't fight with an "arm sword". Not if your enemy has an actual weapon.

18
Anyone understand the long face walk-off by Sansa after the Arya and Brienne fight?
I think she was just thinking: "Damn, Arya has learned to fight like a real badass while I was just busy getting raped instead".

19
lmao, have we seen any actual manipulating from her side? There was some in the Vale story arch iirc, but that shit was weak.
She has manipulated you into thinking this way.

20
Sansa Stark: Has mastered the resting bitch face.
Well, Sophie said that Sansa is as good as Littlefinger at manipulating at this point. Hope we see some of it in the near future. Like manipulating someone to bring her a dinner or something.

21
So who do you guys root for? For myself, it's the lannisters. I don't like any characters that are on the side opposing them. And I genuinely think Tyrion will switch sides in some dramatic moment. It felt like he suddenly became a nationalist or something on the battlefield when the horse rapist said "Your people can't fight" and he saw them getting slaughtered.
I don't really root for any side, I just root for the characters that I like.
And yeah, something interesting is going on with Tyrion there.

The lannister army should be completely depleted now
How so? It was just a small portion of Lannister forces, a caravan. Remember, all the gold got to King's Landing safely.

22
Also, I have always been hoping to see the Dothraki get rekt by superior Westerosi military tradition and armour, but we probably will not.
I think we will.
Remember this scene between Jorah and the dothraki guy with a whip (can't remember the name)?
- Dothraki don't wear steel dresses.
- Armor.
- Armor...  Armor makes a man slow.
- It's true. But it also keeps a man alive.

I think they will pay this off in the future, not just with the fight between Jorah and the bloodrider where Jorah's armor saved him.

a woman, no doubt
Agree, Robb Stark and many other characters died because of women, wouldn't be surprised if poor Mountain would make the same mistake and fall in love with Cercei and die trying to protect her, yet knowing she would never love him vack, oooh...

That's how I'd explain those things.
- how couldn't the rest of DT's fleet could get ambushed in plain daylight without them knowing or anything.
They are unsullied, they don't know shit about naval tactics. They just land and go capture that fortress, what could possibly happen to these boats...
- looking at the westeros map, how could the "new" ironborn fleet get to king's landing, then back to casterly rock (literally at the opposite side of westeros) in time to destroy a fleet that came from Dragonstone (supposedly ?) but left much earlier ?
This didn't have to be the whole ironbord fleet, just a number of ships that may or may not have been patroling around Casterly Rock just in case.
- the braavosi Iron Bank is meant to despise slavery, yet they seem to refer to it as a business of theirs ?? perhaps they're simply luring Cersei in a trap or something, maybe they'll finance Daenerys' invasion, which wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen in the show.
I don't know if they are indeed supposed to despise slavery, sure they are Braavosi, but after all money is the only thing they care about IMO.
- how can the lannister army be powerful enough to wipe the reachmen after fighting the North, the Riverlands, and some other foes?
Pycelle once said to Tywin: "You have built the stongest house". Also, they didn't really lose that many soldiers in the siege of Riverrun.


One thing I find very worrying is the nature of the Night King and White Walkers as antagonists. It appears GoT is just moving towards a classic good & evil struggle. What are the motivations of the Night King? Death and destruction for their own sake are just boring and old-fashioned to me now.
I don't think you have to worry about it, they clearly (well, "clearly") have a purpose other than just wiping out everything living like in "Walking dead". After all, they have let the night's watch guy from S1E1 go away, and they also build strange ornaments from stones and bodies. Those are good signs for me that there's more than them just wanting to wreck shit up.
I think the show will surpsise us by revealing the true goal of White Walkers, meanwhile there are some interesting theories on this matter on youtube.

25
One thing I didn't get - is Sam going to just simply cut off all the "stonescale" pieces off Jorah's body? Is that the secret healing process?
It just seems like an overly painful and not effective way to heal.

Also, I really, really liked the Nymeria scene.

ed sheeran
I'd disagree, this scene was important for Arya to give her a more humane outlook on her "enemies", namely that not all the enemies are evil. It's something she lacked a bit IMO.

Nice job editing my comment so it fits your reply. You would have still seen the fucking dead giants marching to the wall to show us that Night's king has fucking dead giants.
Thanks, though I actually misunderstood your post a bit.
Still, what you're saying doesn't make much sense to me. Would you prefer to see Bran's face during the vision rather than the Hound's?
We still got to see what he saw. But we also saw his reaction to that. Wtf are you complaining about?  :D

I guess we have to see Bran seeing stuff to remind us that Bran can see stuff.
No, we have to see Bran seeing the fucking dead giants marching to the wall to show us that Night's king has dead giants.
But I guess you're complaining just for the sake of it.

Why are people complaining about the Hound's vision not being shown? This is so ridiculous.

First of all, they have already shown the dead marching with giants among them, so I assume the Hound saw the same picture as Bran did, why waste the time to show more of the same?
And secondly, and most importantly, the main point in that scene was showing the Hound's face and his emotions while he was seeing this vision. For a character that has always been purely pragmatic, a realist, a cynic, to see something as fantastic as the dead army is huge. And I think the actor nailed it perfectly.

Overall, I really liked the episode and how the scenes flow one into each other in usual GoT style, and I also think the plot pace is great.

These posts may be satirical
That's hilarious because I have indeed met a person on the internet who was trying to make this exact point. And I was like "What the fuck?".
