The Scabbard Of the Morning

The writers don't know anything about warfare so none of the characters do either. Remember Stannis and the 20 good men? Nobody on this show bothers with things like scouting and keeping watch.

No he didn't. He was stripped of the role by Tommen after his attempted assault on the Sept of Baelor to rescue Margaery

5, nothing great, a few good scenes, a few awful scenes and a mostly meh scenes.

As I said in the R&R thread, this is probably better than any episode in season 5 or 6. I couldn't stand to rewatch any episode since season 4 but I could see myself rewatching this episode.

I can't imagine Euron would be interested in teaming with Cersei, I can't imagine anyone being interested in teaming up with Cersei. What does Cersei even have to offer at this point? Seems like a merger with a company with a lots of liabilities and very few assets. Not worth it.

5/10 for me as well. Here how my scoring works 4 points for writing(Plot and dialogue), 2 points for acting, 2 for visuals, and 2 for sets costumes and sound, I still the show still gets good visuals and sets/costume/music, so 4 points there, only 1 point for acting because it was a mixed bag, and 0 points for writing.

To me the Tower crashing has got to be the Hightower Fleet that Euron is going to face at the end of the this chapter, possibly the death of Leyton Hightower himself and the fall of Old Towne.

Ok does this chapter confirm somewhat that the crumbling tower by the sea in Melisandre's vision are the Hightowers of Oldtown?

Yes, my theory is that the Faceless Men and Euron are working together, his "kill all the gods thing" fits the FM's MO so that the Many-Faced God is the only one left. The Faceless Men would be one of the few groups who's been to the ruins of Valyria and recovered things like Dragonbinder and the Valyrian steel armor. Euron might not have gone there himself, but I think he's telling the truth of where Dragonbinder came from.

Isn't the theory he gave the faceless men a dragon egg as price for the hit on Balon. Hence his comment about tossing an dragon egg in the ocean, since Balon was tossed into the ocean.

So one of the quotes " When he laughed, his face sloughed off, and the priest saw that it was not Urri, but Euron’s smiling eye, hidden. " Another hint that Euron is or is working with faceless men?

Honestly reading this chapter has made me really like Aeron Damphair. I mean the guy suffered a lot, abused by Euron as a child, spent a long time in Casterly Rock as a prisoner, but still pretty much a decent guy. He serves his god, didn't harm any one. And really from his internal thoughts bore no one ill will other than his intense hatred of Euron which is completely justified. You can call him a misogynst but he's just a product of his culture, he doesn't seem to hate any specific woman, he even appreciates Asha's qualities and wants her to rule together with Victarion. He also is a lot kinder to the Flowers girl than I expected, first he tries to warn her than Euron will hurt her in a way that made me thing he cared about her and didn't want to see Euron hurt her. Then even when they are tied to the ship he bore her no ill will, instead even tries to comfort her and gave her courage, telling her hang in there and that they will soon be in the watery halls.

There is no way somebody can fake this

It's all about retrospective when it came to prophecies. Was the Red Wedding vision in that vision the red wedding when I first read it, of course not. It might have given me an inkling of something going on with Robb, but that's it, only after the Red Wedding in book 3 did it become obvious that it was the Red Wedding. Nor did it become obvious that the mummer's dragon was Aegon until after book 5. So of course you do not know for sure it was about Euron back in book 2, that's the point, prophecies only become obvious when the get fulfilled.
