I think the episode being perceived as too short is mostly just psychological. I mean imagine if they had included a slow 6 minute Oldtown scene. No one would have said anything about the runtime, but would that extra scene have made the episode better? I don't think so. I would agree with that and I think because 703 was 10-15 minutes longer, it had some effect on it too. I usually am a critique of shorter run times because sometimes it doesn't let storylines breath and there are fewer character moments, but in this case and even "The Rains of Castamere", "The Watchers on the Wall" more time isn't needed.

you fuckin know what? i think this episode being a little shorter actually makes it better. no time is wasted and it adds to its rewatchability Yeah. I can't think of a single "filler" scene this season.

BookDavos misses his wife and 2 youngest sons terribly. He thinks about them often. They live in a small keep on Cape Wrath that Stannis gifted them. When he was imprisoned at White Harbor and thinking he was to be executed, he even asked for quill and parchment and struggled to write them all notes with his barely-there literacy. However, it isn't relevant to the tv script, so I'm guessing that they just left her out of the picture.
Yes, I think they are just having him make small talk with Missandi to give him some lines this season...no deeper meaning.

You'd think Davos' wife would've been around Dragonstone anyways, but nope. I guess we're supposed to forget he has one. She must be back in Rainwood and the show likes to forget the Stormlands exist. Look let's be honest she clearly was not all she was cracked up to be. I mean the guy ran to Stannis and his cause just to get away from. Stannis couldn't beat the guy off him with a stick. Dude cut off his and he said thank you I am staying.

Guy is 30 minutes away by row boat. He didn't forget her he's in hiding.

Did the show forget that Davos has a wife? I mean, Liam certainly had forgotten when he was asked about it in an interview. I was hoping for Randyll (or Dickon) to mention Heartsbane, but I guess it's too much of a an embarassment for your ancestral Valyrian steel sword to get stolen. But then again, they could've made Jaime ask about it. Honestly this Heartsbane plot is bothering me. But... why? Why would Jaime ask about it and why would Randyll even mention it to Jaime? It got stolen and he knows who did it. Maybe he has the intention of getting it back at some point but with the Tyrells being decimated and Olenna declaring for House Targaryen and Cersei asking for his allegiance, Randyll definitely has more pressing matters for the moment...? I don't see why this is a big deal at all. When your ally has a famous VS steel sword he always uses in battle yet doesn't have it with him in battle you don't ask about it?

Maybe Heartbane was like Ice, not suited for battle.

it occurs to me that the last time arya/sansa were in the same place, the last time 3 starks were in the same place (not counting arya at the rw or bran/rickon at queenscrown) was at ned's execution. so it's fitting that arya/sansa reunite at ned's tomb before the 3 starklings are all together again.

Would anyone have a gif of that beautiful side shot of Drogon burning the loot trains? It was a great shot. Also i agree that it is weird for Randyll not to bring his sword to battle, we saw the sword last season so we know it's not like Ice. It must be so embarrassing for such a 'soft' son like Sam to steal it from him God Randyll is such a cunt, the actor who plays him is perfect though. "May i suggest flogging" :headslap: Jaime is obviously not dead, not sure i agree with him supposedly drowning being the last shot, a close up of Tyrion's conflicted face would have also worked. He was probably the most interesting part of the battle here, these are his countrymen, friends and his own brother he's fighting against. The horror of soldiers just blowing away in the wind was incredible to see.

I'm sorry if someone has already posted this. But this was absolutely amazing and just shows Jaime's perspective. I can understand him fighting for team Lannister, but he should despise Cersei at this point.

Wow that was such an insane sequence of shots from Drogon's back to the ground and everything lit up like that... even more amazing to see how they pulled it off with pyrotechnics behind-the-scenes. Mad props to HBO pulling off dragon effects better than some top shelf movies.
