Thoughts/Questions on S7E4

1. Yes, great scenes, especially her duel with Brienne. Does Sansa really want to be called "Lady Stark"? I hope that was a joke.

2. I think at this point the real question is -- Is Bran even Bran anymore?

3. I don't know if she had romantic feelings for him or it was just that they went through so much together.

4. There seemed to be a subtext there for sure. If Jon is who we have been led to believe he is (I'm still not 100% on that), then Jon actually has the better claim to the Iron Throne, so a marriage would solve that problem as well as the North issue.

5. You're right, it was a dumb move. She lacks an appreciation for the coming hardships of winter, apart from the Night King threat.

6. I think it was Super Bronn. I love Bronn but they went overboard in this episode.

1) Good! Arya's only hope for redemption is her family.

2) I don't think Bran is capable of happiness right now.

3) I don't think Meera loved Bran, she's just realized that Bran isn't capable of real gratitude.

4) Just flirting, or maybe more. But nothing official.

5) Don't know, maybe the Dothraki didn't want to haul grain wagons around, they wanted more glamorous plunder, so she burned the grain rather than leave it. Pity the Dothraki weren't in time for the gold!

6) we all wonder that. My guess is dick or Bronn, but more likely Dickon. He was on a horse, and Bronn wasn't. Bronn wouldn't be able to snag a riderless horse that close to a dragon, they all panic in the presence of large predators.

1. It was nice to Arya happy again. When she encountered Hot Pie in the last episode, she didn't show much emotion. I was beginning to worry about her mental health.

2. I also saw Bran smile a little. I guess it's hard for him to act normal after he saw what he saw.

4. There was definitely chemistry between Dany and Jon. I think she finds him intriguing, and later in the conversation with Davos he admitted that he's interested but added "we don't have time for this now"

5. Burning the food supply was a risky move, but dragging the food carts along would significantly slow down Dothraki horde. And they can always plunder what they need from the villages along the way.

6. I think that Bronn was the one who rescued Jaime. Dickon doesn't seem the type to do something that risky. And Tyrion is also not brave enough, plus he was standing too far away from the scene to get there in time.

We know that Bronn acts like he doesn't care most of the time, but he is more loyal than he'd like himself to be. He will probably explain away his action later with something like "I saved you because you owe me a castle and not because I care for you" but after everything Bronn and Jaime went through together, I think Bronn considers him a friend.

I replayed it a few times but couldn't tell what Bran said to Littlefinger at the end of their conversation. I think the first word was "Chaos." Does anybody know?

I was wondering if Randyll and/or Dickon were killed.

1. It's great to see Arya back home. And a little bit weird. Also, with all the time Sansa spends on that damn balcony, she sure picked a moment to be inside! And she doesn't look too pleased with how her sister's grown up to be. The duel with Brianne was pretty great as well. Though, I didn't get the feeling Arya wanted to practice, but more to maybe show off a little bit. Or show Brianne that she didn't need her protection after all. There was something confrontational in the way she aproached the whole thing (at least it seemed that way to me).

2. I think Bran still cares for his family, but he can't really express it in a more normal way. So a dagger is the best he can do. And I have the same feeling about him giving it to Arya to fight WW.

3. I've always had the feeling Meera might have... feelings towards Bran. But she might have been emotional just because they've been through so much and he seemed so distant.

4. I though she was proposing to him as well. And we all know what Jon likes to do in caves! But, yeah, it might be a good way to solidify that alliance, and he wouldn't need to bend the knee then, right? Also, it might insure the two Targaryens rule the realm, if/when the truth about Jon comes out.

5. I have no idea why she burned the grain. To starve her enemies? Can you have precision targeting with a dragon? But what she did to the Lannister/Whoever-the-other-army-belonged-to men was just horrific! I know dragons are cool and all, but I was sad for those people. What a terrible way to die.

6. I think it might be Bronn, he was very close, no? I doubt it was Tyrion, he's just to small.

1. Whoo hooo! Some of us have been waiting for this for ages, although the little girl that was Arya and who wanted to go home to be with her family is much older now!

2. Bran knows Arya will have the most benefit from the dagger, and I think it's a very sweet tie-in to making use of the very dagger that was used to try to end Bran's life.

3. Love out of friendship, absolutely, but that's as far as it would ever go I felt.

4. All I got from that was bend the knee and I will help you, and then they walk out side by side, I don't think they were holding hands--that comes later. :)

5. I think Dany's goal is to make sure that King's Landing starves once their reserves run out, along with Cersei and her compatriots, and then Dany can sweep in with ease. That said, the gold went safely through the gates of King's Landing and Cersei should now have it.

6. I thought it was Bronn--since he was Mr. I-can-do-just-about-Anything during that fight, running around, arming Giant Crossbows, actually hitting a dragon, etc, and I noticed he took a glance at a horse the last time we saw him, so maybe he took that horse out to Jaime, jumped off and pushed him out of the line of fire.

I found it an odd scene. Classic Game of Thrones would have killed off Jaime immediately, but here it's a last second movie-cliche rescue by pushing someone out of the way. That's easier said than done in reality, and GoT strayed a bit here.

I have a theory on Bran. I think that becoming the three-eyed raven means you HAVE to lose your personality. Because if you gain that much power and you still have attachments and biases, you're just a person with way, way too much power. I think becoming the three-eyed raven means you have to lose your personality and become just an instrument to serve humanity as a whole. I don't think a person could keep their personality anyway while being able to see everything from all people's points of view.
