Whilst settling in to watch Season 7, episode 4, I realized that few things could bring me more joy than live blogging it. And here we are.
- Why doesn’t HBO’s episode description, ya know, describe anything?
- Ah, we’re reminding everyone about the catspaw dagger. Iss back.
- Check out the Lannister host leaving Highgarden with the *hehe* “spoils of war”.
- BRONN! And he has dialogue!
- I prefer Bronn with the other Lannister bro. He and Jaime are too much the same character.
- Oh hey, Dickon. Giggle. 🙊
- Cersei’s eyes glazing over while Tycho is jabbering about being an instrument of his institution…same, girl.
- Trying to get a credit line increase. Royalty. They’re just like us.
- Bran and Littlefinger having a creep-off.
- Whoop, there it is (the dagger, o’ course).
- He ain’t falling for your shit, Baelish. He’s the goddamned three eyed raven.
- Chaos is a ladder, indeed. *mic drop*
- Let it out Meera, oh, my sweet audience avatar.
- A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell. And she is HOME!
- These poor, stupid guards have no idea who they’re fucking with.
- The shot of Arya with the direwolf banner behind her. Chills.
- Poor Sansa is not getting any gratification from these sibling reunions.
- I have a bad feeling that these already lukewarm feelings betwixt the Stark sisters will cool rapidly.
- So, like, how does Bran know everything but how to talk to other humans?
- Can’t wait to see Arya fuck shit up with that dagger.
- Pod telling Brienne that Catelyn would be proud. I’m not crying; you’re crying.
- Missy and Dany having girl talk about Grey Worm is on point.
- Watch out Khaleesi. I’ve seen what Jon Snow does to girls in caves.
- Ooh what else you gonna show her Jon? Huh? Huh? Something that Southren Lords do to their ladies?
- Oh, undead army runes. Bo-ring.
- But important…obvi.
- That is some intense eye contact.
- I love Emilia Clark. Really I do. But there is something ‘nails on a chalkboard’esque about the way she says “bend the knee”.
- Varys and Tyrion are the bad news bears.
- Oooh, Dany taking Tyrion to task. I both love and hate this.
- More intense eye contact. Not gonna lie, I’m shipping it. It’s fine.
- Poor Pod. He gets knocked down, but he gets up again.
- Ooh la la. Arya vs Brienne is bound to be amaze-balls.
- And there’s Sansa being melodramatic for literally no reason. Don’t let Littlefinger see you sweat.
- Make Syrio proud, you beautiful faceless, water dancing badass.
- Excellent action angle.
- NO ONE.
- Sansa, get ye over thyself.
- Arya is going to return that dagger to Petyr…in spades. I’m certain of it.
- I love this Dragonstone camera work they keep doing. I wonder how many times this camera dude has fallen down.
- Davos, what is this weird thing you’re doing with Missandei?
- I need a bestie who loves me like Missy loves Dany.
- HOLY HELL. Jon and Theon. The intensity.
- I’d have been cool with it if Jon had punched him in the face.
- Hope you aren’t too attached to that loot Jaime. Mama’s coming for it.
- Ooh, I hope someone lights Randyll Tarly on fire.
- Dickon. Never gets old.
- IS THAT THE HORSE LORDS’ MUSIC?!?!?!
- Cannot wait to see these proper soldier against some bloodriders.
- Someday, I may not get goosebumps when Daenerys says dracarys. Today is not that day.
- Everybody was Arakh fighting. *whistles*
- Not even taking the food. Just burn it to the ground. I sorta dig it.
- Oh no. Don’t kill Bronn.
- This ish is intense. Fab cinematography.
- Oh no, but, like, don’t hurt Drogon, either.
- Wait, Tyrion’s there?!
- This must be hard for him.
- I mean, it’s hard for me. And I’m not related to and/or serving as hand to anyone here.
- WTF NOOOOO. DROGON!!!!!!!!!!
- Oh he’s okay-ish. Dany, please be careful on the ground.
- Jaime don’t be dumb! I see you looking like you’re going to be dumb.
- See? Tyrion agrees.
- Ugh, how will they get him out of this?
- Bronn with the assist.
- How deep is that water at the shoreline, really?
- Is he unconscious? Or is his armor too heavy? Why is he sinking?
- THAT is how we’re leaving it?
