I just realized I technically missed the entire Ed Sheeran scene because I was tweeting trying to find out if what I was looking at was what I was looking at, nobody with me knew for sure, then I gave up and the scene was over.

Do you all listen to any podcasts?

Brienne need to get her mind off Jaime, it ain't gonna be good if it would happen, Cersei gonna kill him anyway.

I would like to see her with the wilding though.

Brienne got that falling for the wrong guy-itis. Remember Renly.

You don't think Jaime would add Queen-slayer to his resume too? If the situation gets bad enough, he could off her.

She may end up relenting to the wildling. Who knows. In GoT, anything can happen.

Don't most of us? It's always the guys who look and act like the wildling that we want nothing to do with but are probably the ones WE NEED to be with. MESSAGE!

Jaime ain't the man he used to be he's pretty much her lap dog, and Cersei's smart, pissed, and power hunger with nothing tethering her conscious, she'll do anything without a second thought.

I'll take the wilding, I'm sure he is wild in more ways then 1.

I rewatched the previews for the next episode and it flashed a wolf. Looks like Arya's wolf will be making a comeback. I think the only other wolf alive is Jon's and this one wasn't white.

Not really on the GoT, I have one saved about the science behind GoT though.

Through the years we've watched Jon Snow rise to a leadership position because he is trustworthy, empathetic, and humble. However, in the first episode of season seven, the newly named King in the North could heed a bit of advice that all of us need from time to time as leaders -- lessons that we'll all see play out in the near future:

1. Don't dismiss people based on their title.

Just like Jon wouldn't listen to his sister Sansa about beating Ramsay Bolton's army, he also dismissed her recent thoughts about the Umbers and Karstarks. As leaders, we often assume that the best advice comes from people with the biggest titles -- experts in industries or practices.

However, research shows that 72 percent of award-winning projects happen when people seek advice of people who aren't in their industry, and who may have diverse perspectives and opinions. Dismissing the opinions of people who may not fully understand your work can lead to failure.

2. Be patient and focus on the end result.

Although none of us are facing the arrival of White Walkers, in a corporate world where it often feels like time is money, we can't lose focus on the bigger picture -- to get the work done right.

Jon Snow has nearly lost an important battle because he didn't exercise patience. And, research from the Great Work Study reveals that 90 percent of award winning work projects include employees who patiently remain involved with the work from start to finish -- measuring the impact the work makes on the recipient of that work until the final product is loved.

3. Being humble doesn't mean you won't change the world.

As a fan of Game of Thrones it was often frustrating to watch Jon Snow as he didn't realize the impact his leadership was making on the people around him. As leaders it's important to understand that although we may not be leading large armies, people look to us every day see if their efforts and results at work are valued and appreciated.

Why ain't nobody talking about Sam. 1st thing, I am so glad I wasn't eating during that montage, that turned my stomach so bad, it sure got the point across about how everything was just blending in to one big...well you know the rest. 2nd, I love the library, but what the heck are all those chains for? For keepers of the knowledge they sure like to keep their heads in a hole.

There is a new promo for episodes 2 and 3, but I don't recommend watching it because I thought it gives away a bit too much.

Hanging off the bookshelves.

What did you all think?

morningsong said:

Hot Pie!!! Are we going to get a gross Sam scene every episode? They just flipped the game making no outcome definite with that crossbow.

Nothing is going as planned.

I was a little disappointed with Qyburn's solution about the dragons...

So was that Arya's wolf?

PennyPurple said:

I wonder if we will get to see Ghost again soon.

morningsong said:

Did you catch the quote? Back in Season 1, Ned Stark comes across his younger daughter balancing on the stairs in a Red Keep hallway. Sitting together, he offers Arya a glimpse of what her happy future could be: marriage and children. Knowing herself even then, the young girl looks at her father and simply says, “No, That’s not me.” Now in Season 7, Arya asks her direwolf to come home with her, but is rejected by the creature. Disappointed at first, she realizes that, just like her, Nymeria is not meant to be tamed.

Good catch, I wondered what that meant. I wonder if her and the hound will meet up again?

There were a few references/callbacks to Season 1 in the episode. We also have Jon choking Littlefinger like Ned, for a quick example.

What do you mean that can be interpreted different ways.

I mean, a giant crossbow is nothing new. We actually saw them used back in Season 4. I was expecting his plan to be something better, like a dragon horn or even just some research about it. I think it's a shame they are not going to be including it...
