Also theon fight scene was atrocious if for no other reason than "lol you got your dick cut off knees down there make you stronger" bit which felt almost comedic

But the scene w him and Jon was great.

Enjoyed the episode and season overall I guess. Even if it was more for "shocking stuff" as I kinda needed to ignore some dumb stuff.

Do you mean bad as in evil or bad as in a bad villain?

Because I get that, a lot of what has been revealed about him and his true threat/motives has come from that one preview chapter. Kind of came out of nowhere when I think most readers viewed him as a bit of a joke up to that point.

Was Euron the one who showed up with the dragon horn at the kingsmoot in the book? or was that victarion? because that was pretty cool.

That was Euron

Victarion is the really dim one

I definitely laughed, but like...we watch pro wrestling.

I think theon would make a great indie gimmick.

Prediction: Bran dies before he gets to tell Jon his true lineage. He only finds out that he's a Targaryen when he survives dragon fire. OR - quite possibly - Viserion's ice beam.

As far as I know, only the Three Eyed Raven can warg.

Not the only one, that one wildling can warg. And I was talking about Bran warging into Jon's direwolf.

That depressing moment when you realize there were numerous opportunities for Ghost to make an appearance but didn't either because they forgot or didn't have the budget because of all the damn battles.

They explicitly said they didn't have the budget for it. Was a choice they made to have more dragon screen time.

it was also reported that a scene with ghost was actually produced for episode 2 but they decided to cut during editing.

Honestly it would have been enough for the characters to have acknowledged Ghost's continued existence with something as simple as a throwaway line. I don't think he was mentioned a single time all season. He's practically become the wolf version of an un-person.

Directors admitted to being able to cut corners due to popularity of show but honestly what gave the show such depth was the development of characters like Brienne/Jaime using an example from this page. It's like they felt they could get away with pleasing the audience with just cramming in as much action as they can (hooray teleporting fleets/chars and videogame accuracy in locating enemy generals).
budget

these seasons retain the same budget as previous seasons but with less episodes that lets them to expensive cgi stuff
if that's the case, would've been nicer if they did less fancy stuff and included more character interactions like what we got to see in the last episode but maybe that's just me

That sickening feeling when you know jon and D are inevitably going to win and live happily ever after but you root against them anyways because you feel they don't deserve it at all and only got there through plot armour and dragon ex machina. I'm hoping while they're in siberia at least sansa vs cersei happens in some way and is interesting.

I thought the point of the series was for people on the "good" side to learn to play "the game" and finally beat cersei etc at it, even if in the process they become a little gray or in some ways a lesser evil. But it's like throughout jon just stays the same as always but lucks out repeatedly and D has power overwhelming through dragons so everything's fine. Not vs the undead I guess but in isolation I don't see how that conflict is going to be all that interesting either as basically PvE. Everyone being so apparently naive again WRT the wight plan just feels like a massive step backwards and I think it's safe to say that theme is pretty dead now and idealism won out through basically magic after all. Or maybe they did have some secret other plan they accomplished with that meeting to be revealed later and it wasn't pure stupidity?

Even sansa executing LF was something that was supposed to be a really good moment but felt lame and really easy IMO.

I agree about this. It was anticlimactic after all the various horrors he's committed in more and more open ways (at least open to Sansa) as time has passed. He was defeated too easily, though to beat him required embracing his byzantine approach to power. The one thing about that scene that kinda cut through the blahness was when he made a bravura show of twirling his cloak, gathering up the Vale folk and sweeping out of the keep. To fail at that was to plumb the depths of insignificance, which has always seemed one of his motivations - to never be insignificant again.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.

Every romance in Game of Thrones ends up in a tragedy, so next season these people should die: {Jon or Dany}, {Greyworm or Mellisandrei}, {Cersei or Jamie}

Dany will probably die at childbirth, but it will much more fun to see Jon die, Dany going crazy over it and starting to burn innocent people alive like the Mad King, and Arya becoming crazy too, losing her humanity and killing her. That would fit more with the theme of the series from the earlier seasons, not that soft shit of season 7

I've heard a theory that I'm partial to that jon will have to use dany to forge lightbringer. And Jamie is supposed to kill Cersei in theory.

I kind of want an answer to this.

Also, I've never really quite been so happy to see incest as I am right now.
My interpretation of what we saw was that Cersei was bluffing and the order itself was basically an intimidation bluff which Jaime called her on.

I also think the assumption that the white walkers will attack in the north first might be wrong. King's landing is actually the place that is least prepared for a white walker attack and the night king literally has a dragon he can use to fly there and raise the dead. They would never know what hit them. (Alternatively they may not even bother to focus their forces in one place and may end up attacking in multiple places... including King's landing.)

He was kind of walking after her. If that was the intention, it was poorly portrayed.
