Goodbye Jaime

I was so scared that Cersei was really going to kill Jaime. Good thing Jaime called her bluff. I mean if Cersei can’t even kill Tyrion, I guess it wouldn’t make sense for her to go through with killing Jaime. But now Jaime is out of there. Yes! I’m so happy that he will be joining Jon and Co. to fight against the Army of the Dead. I’m also glad that he isn’t stupid and is aware of the imminent threat. Also that he wants to keep his oath in trekking North. He was known as the Oathbreaker after all. Seeing him say how much he wants to honor that pledge was really satisfying. But now that Jaime is gone, I wonder what Cersei is going to do now.

Goodbye Littlefinger

I’m not gonna lie, I was scared that Sansa was about to make a big mistake. But when Sansa listed the charges I was thinking, “I wonder if she’s gonna turn this around on Littlefinger.” And lo and behold she did. I am so happy he is dead. It’s pretty mindblowing that the whole conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters started because of him. I like how Sansa pointed out that he betrayed the women he loved. Littlefinger really is a twisted son-of-a-bitch.

I really like how Sansa and Arya aren’t mad at each other anymore. It really did hurt to watch them go at each other’s throats. But seeing them compliment each other and quote their father’s wolf quotes really pulled at the heartstrings. Too bad we have to wait until next season for that Jon and Arya reunion.

Jon X Danearys

O.K. I know everyone has been waiting for the wolf to bang the dragon, but there is just a teeny, tiny, little problem with their relationship: DANEARYS IS JON’S AUNT!!!!! I know they don’t know that they’re related and the Targaryeans, as well as royals in Medieval Times, are known for breeding with each other to keep the blood pure, but it’s incest. It’s disgusting. Don’t get me wrong, a union between the King in the North and the Dragon Queen is a great idea, but it’s still nasty. I know they’re gorgeous, hot models, but that should never excuse incest.

Also I wonder why Tyrion looks so disapproving of their relationship. An episode ago he was commenting on how Jon is in love with Dany in a positive manner, but now he looks distraught. I wonder why. I hardly believe he’s jealous. The one who should be jealous is Sir Jorah Friendzone. Maybe that’s why Tyrion is upset. He knows that Jon and Dany’s newfound love will cause disruption within the ranks.

Theon

Who knew that having no balls would be a useful secret weapon. I’m proud that Theon is fully coming to terms with his mistakes. I was not expecting Jon to forgive him. When Jon said that Theon is both a Stark and a Greyjoy, that really touched my heart. And he now has truly gotten respect from the Greyjoys. Not by trying to act all high and mighty by giving execution orders, but by sticking up for his sister and not backing down in a fight. Character development at it’s finest.

And the Wall Came Tumbling Down

I’m not gonna lie, I’m kind of disappointed that White Flyer Viserion didn’t get ice breath. But I guess it wouldn’t make sense for them to use ice to take down an ice wall. Nonetheless it was a great action-filled scene. The unbreakable wall has now been broken and the white walkers are finally about to cover Westeros in their icy wrath. I really hope Tormund survived. He was on top of the wall during the deconstruction. Also I can’t wait for the inevitable dragon fight. Poor Drogon is going to have to kill his brother and Dany is going to have to kill her reptilian son. But for now we must suffer through a year-and-a-half long hiatus.
