Last nights episode was so so so so good. For the first time we get to see two main sides fighting and you don't want either side to win because you know it means the other side will lose... Basically, we were all Tyrion screaming "Flee you f*cking idiot". Also I didn't have to gag at Sam's duties in the Citadel so that's always a plus:help:
***Spoilers ahead, sorry***
I think last nights episode was a real turning point for a lot of characters. Tyrion, Jaime, Bronn, and whoever was standing with Tyrion (Varys?? can't remember) seemed like they all kinda got how pointless this all is and that no one wins really, you just don't die. Dany though gets more and more like her dad each episode. Her advisors seem to be the only thing that keeps her grounded. People are speculating that Dany's side will capture Jaime as a hostage. If thats true, theres so many things that could play out, its exciting to think about.
I'm really impressed with these epsiodes so far. They're really moving the storyline along and tying up loose ends really quickly. Every time something is said or a new person is introduced, I'm always left to wonder "how does this play into the story?"
Can't believe theres only 3 episodes left in this season :(
Side Note: If you guys are interested, HBO has been uploading behind the scenes featurettes from each episode on their YouTube channel. Last night's battle was uploaded this morning. I'm always into this stuff.
