My husband doesn't watch Game of Thrones, so I'm just going to have to keep a running commentary here after I watch each week, or I might explode. There are spoilers if you haven't watched this season or the previous ones, so you've been warned.
I cried when Jaime knighted Brienne. I'm not much of a crier, but I loved it. If nothing else happens this season, I'll be happy.
I have loved the reunions between Arya and her family and friends. I'm a little weirded out by the Gendry thing though. Now I'm questioning whether Arya is Arya. The Hound mentioned that she was quiet now and she used to never shut up. She mentioned something to Gendry that really Melisandre would only know. But she knows stuff that only Arya would know. I was right though and Beric is no longer on her list, so I'll count that as a small win, but I'm watching her.
Jon has previously expressed that he has no interest in the Iron Throne. So it's a little surprising that he doesn't throw that in when he tells Dany his real identity. Maybe his interests have changed. Maybe he believes he would be a good king, or that it is his duty. Or maybe he is just very introspective right now, but his lack of reassurance doesn't bode well. I wonder if the North would bend the knee to the Iron Throne if Jon was on it. They don't like Targaryens much, but they love Starks.
Rhaegar may not have abducted and raped Lyanna, however the two sure could have stopped a lot of grief with a little bit of honesty. I wonder if Robert knew. I think he might have, not about Jon, but that Lyanna chose Rhaegar.
Brienne won this week. That was my favorite scene since Arya killed Little Finger.
