Spoilers Game of Thrones: The Final Season

Great, more of Bran seeing things... that's... *sigh* exciting.
Does the 3 Eyed Crow do anything other than tell people, "You were meant to be here at this moment in time"?
Maybe it's an Endgame hangover, but what if Bran goes back in time and changes history? Maybe he can save Jon Arryn or Robert Baratheon.

The rules of time travel in GoT, unlike Endgame apparently, are quite clear. You can't change the past. It has already happened.

No one should have been surprised. Drogo would talk about how he would rape the women of Westeros, sell their children into slavery, wreck cities, etc. And Dany was thrilled with this raping, murdering thug. Had that witch not given him the whammy, he would sat in that tent with all the other murdering, chauvinistic killers drinking and laughing about all the kids they killed in front of their parents. Dany was totally cool with this. On the contrary she said she would take what is hers "with fire and blood".

Dany fans just send all this shit down the memory hole to make a hero out of an insanely privileged, entitled, arrogant, megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur who thinks everyone who doesnt bow down to kiss her feet, like the Tarlys, should be put to death.

I think that you meant the Tarlys not the Tulleys. I am sure that Edmure Tully is going to kowtow quicker than anyone else in Westeros though Sweet Robin Arryn might give him a run for his money. The two of them are the biggest wimps in Westeros.

Dany fans are quick to criticised Mirri Maz Duur for causing the deaths of Drogo, and of Drogo and Dany’s unborn baby. However Mirri did point out to Dany that she had been raped 3 times by Drogo’s men before Dany ‘saved’ her and she had seen her people killed including seeing children trampled by Dothraki horses. Still Dany fans see Mirri Maz Duur as the evil one.

Edited to say - it looks like I was a little bit wrong about what she said. In the books she said -

“Three riders had taken me, not as a man takes a woman but from behind, as a dog takes a bitch. The fourth was in me when you rode past. How then did you save me? I saw my god's house burn, where I had healed good men beyond counting. My home they burned as well, and in the street I saw piles of heads. I saw the head of a baker who made my bread. I saw the head of a boy I had saved from deadeye fever, only three moons past. I heard children crying as the riders drove them off with their whips. Tell me a gain what you saved."

In the show the bit about how she was taken and the bit about the children crying was left out.

Some nice goodbye scenes in the latest episode: Varys and Tyrion, Aria and the Hound, and the best one Tyrion and Jaime.

Spoilers for the latest Avengers film are surely not covered by the spoiler notice for this show. Sheesh already!

Thankfully, spoilers don't bother me much. If something isn't worth watching more than once, an unexpected reveal is basically just like a cheap thrill on a ghost-train ride.

Also, not even an accurate spoiler, so rest easy :)
 
One thing I especially love is how the dragon's theme has changed over the last two seasons. Previously it sounded more heroic and uplifting eg. when she destroyed the ships in Slaver's Bay in season 6. I noticed back in S07E04 when she attacked the Lannister army it took a slightly darker tone. In the latest episode, the theme kicks in proper as we follow Drogon after he's scorched the Iron Fleet and it's downright ominous.

Ha! Yes, agree. The idea of Bran is cool. The way he's been used however seems like they weren't sure what to do with him. At least in the show, don't know about the books.

I wondered if they were going to use any of his time travel, or at least time influence, powers earlier. Probably not in large ways because that's not Game of Thrones. But, in small ways to ensure that something/someone is in the right location for the present. However, I don't see them starting that in the final episode.

Hard to say because
The last we've seen of Bran is his arrival at the previous Three-Eye Ravrn's hideaway, before any training.

I think the showrunners were afraid that Bran would become too much of an easy Deus-ex-machina solution for too many problems, so they throttled back his usefulness. Sadly, they took it too far to the extent of making him a useless non-being in a wheelchair with the only skill he was capable of performing being that of warging into a bunch of crows that flew over the battlefield to shit on the Night King's head. Seems that a "balanced approach" is not always something a writer can wrap their head around for some odd reason. He was made powerful for a reason. He should have had more muscle-flex. Not sure what he can do now at this point, but I hope there will be something...

And I am usually the spoiler police! It really wasnt meant to be a spoiler but if one is still avoiding all news headlines and social media it could be consider so.

As I mentioned, my only hope is that the movie is good enough to watch at least a second time after I'm aware of how its plot pans out.
