Danelle

I wonder if there is a symbolism behind Dany losing aspects of the power she gained while in Essos, the rwo dragons named after her brithers-who were first in line to the throne- , the dothraki and Jorah who believed in her and named her Khaleesi, Missandei her trusted advisor. Seems now that she has to adjust to westerosi rules and not create her own.

Or he may also think that he is not worthy of her.

We just have to wait and see. But lets not forget that just like Cersei Dany lost Rhaegal and Viserion, her children.

Missandei is her Duskendale. Loved Tyrion's speech and the look on Cersei's face as he spoke. They didn't handle Jaime well to be honest. Perhaps he is in a suicude mission to take down Cersei and wanted Brienne to hate him? Glad that they got some time together at least. On another note Sansa gave Ned Stark vibes in the episode. Great acting from Sophie.

Wait, what Ghost is abandoned by Jon?

Indeed. Also I half expected Sansa to wave him goodbye. Bran told Tyrion that King Daeron had made a similar chair for his son. Which Targaryen was it?

Its official. Cersei will lose. Bronn always chooses the winning side.

There was a mention of a new prince of Dorne....Wonder who that might be.

This episode is like St Valentines day movie or something. I love it.

Well in the books Tywin had Tyrion believe that Tysha was hired by Jaime but in reality he had nothing to do with that. Second time Jaime has sex in Winterfell. Aint that the truth.

Well she did mention Tysha, that was awkward.

Also was it me or Dany gave Jaime a weird look?

About time. And immediately after the Jaime-Brienne scene. Last time Briennes virginity was mentioned was way back in s3. By Jaime.

Also for a moment I thought Sansa was going to make a toast for Dany.

Dany had just said that Tyrion is not the only smart person around or something like that. Sansa is also a contender for the smartestvperson in Westeros. Looks like there is going to be trouble.

Strange look between Sansa and Tyrion, not surprised by Gendry though.

Didn't Bran also said in the previous episode that Jon is not his brother? And also he implied to Jaime that he is more 3eyed raven than Bran or something like that?

It is a dilemma for her, isn't it? Someone, I think it was Tyrion, mentioned that Jaime wasn't welcome but is Dany really welcome? Neither Missandei nor GW feel welcome and hopefully they will survive and live happily ever after in Naath. Jon has a family, the Starks are still his cousins, the Northmen trust him, the NW trusts him, so do the smallfolk and wildlings. Yara returned to her islands and Theon came back to fight for the Starks. And now, after surviving the Dothraki, the slavers, the deserts of Essos she has to step aside and give the throne to Jon? They could always rule together but there will be complications.

Also Bran indeed said to Jaime "the things I do for love". His tone was very unsettling. While ago there was a theory that BR orchestrated the events leading to Bran's defenestration.

Well so far Dunk has been mentioned only once I think, so it was probably a very subtle hint. Still interesting to see Lady Rohanne''s greatgrandson knighting Brienne. She also notes that the proof of Jon's ancestry cames from his brother and his bff. Wonder if this will be a prelude to a dance of the dragons. Besides Sansa made it clear that the North wants to be indepedent.

Possibly. I think that Grrm had said that it was a sad song and writing the lyrics would be difficult. Also interesting how Jaime referred to Brienne as Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Is it something said during a knighting or a reference to Dunk?

Or perhaps they are defeated, Winterfell falls and the few survivors seek shelter in the South.

Was that the Jenny of Oldstones song?

Neither did I.

He is a Targaryen after all, just like Bloodraven. Seriously, I think that Jon intended to let everyone know that Dany is Queen and without her they are doomed. He probably thought that he was helping her cement her rule over the North. Lysa and Aerys are not really good examples because they both ruled through fear and irrational decisions. I don't recall an instance when LF had official power and executed someone, but perhaps my memory fails me. Cersei and Tywin have ordered deaths of people who they deemed to be dangerous to their reign but they were already established and legitimate rulers and they had supporters. Mind you, I am not defending their actions but I don't think that the point is whether Dany was right to burn the Tarlys or not. All it matters is how her action will be perceived and currently Dany has only one fan in Westeros: Jon. The rest of her supporters are dothraki and essosi strangers. There is also Tyrion but a kinslayer and a kingslayer is not really a good example of an ally. Until now Dany was used to the idea of turning her dragons against her enemies and having the crowds surround her and yelling Mysha. So far, the nobles that Dany has dealt with were people with the sensitivities of the Great Masters of Meereen, but Blackwater is not the Walk of Punishment and Randyll was not Kraznys. When Dany had her dragons attack the slavers in Essos, they were the ones in position of advantage. They had power, wealth, influence and they used it in order to take advantage of everyone else. When she confronted Randyll Tarly, the man was defeated and had nothing. On the other hand, she was victorious, she had an army and her dragons. Tyrion's proposal was sensible and even Randyll seemed to agree yet Dany chose to give them both to her dragons. Dickon's life might have been spared at least. Think of how Joffrey's decision affected his reign. He chose to have Ned Stark executed and had every reason to do so. Ned openly defied Joffrey and told him that he had no claim to the throne. Not only that but he intended to arrest him. Had Joffrey shown mercy and spared Ned, the situation with the Starks would have been somewhat less difficult, not to mention that the Starks held Jaime hostage. Mercy is not always synonym to weakness. Sometimes it could be a sign of diplomatic attitude.
