Are maesters allowed to have a wife and kids?

Nice. I knew the fleet was wrong, but good that someone crunched the numbers.

[Dry]

Maesters take an oath of celibacy, but unlike the Night's watch, clearly not one of chastity.

Qyburn is an ex-maester that has been stripped of his chain, so it seems they can be expelled from the order. Logic would suggest that if they can be expelled, they are also allowed to resign.

If the wall falls...

...will iron thrones, night watches, and maesters even matter anymore?

[Demonbinder]

I don't think the wall will fall, at least in the TV show. Looks like they are going around it. I also found it hard to believe Euron could build so many ships because I couldn't figure where he would get the wood for it. Plus, where were the look outs for the fleet he first defeated?? I think Sam's brother will survive so Sam can be Maester of whoever ends up on Iron Throne. Can't wait for the final showdown between the Mountain and his brother.

I watched tge leaked s07e04 and it was great.

Okay, Davos was...

...killing it this episode.

Also, who...

Spoiler:

...saved Jaime?

[Bosh]

So... Do any scouts exist anywhere in this continent? Even one?

How could you miss that it was Bronn? He looks at Jamie, he looks at the white horse standing there, and the next scene you see a man with black hair jumping off a white horse, grabbing Jamie, and then they both plunge into the water.

Not necessary ... no matter which side you are on ... if you are the attacker and want to locate the fleet or army you target, you automagically know where it is.
Except when it comes to the fleet of Euron Greyjoy, of course

Thanks for mentioning it, I also missed it

Spoiler:

and suspected it may be Dickon Tarly.

Jon: Dany has a good heart
Davos: You keep on staring at her "good heart" often enough



Good that the ADB (Anti Dragon Ballista) has been exterminated without killing one of the dragons ... but at least they now know that dragons can be hurt.
And Jamie now has seen the queen to which he finally may have to bend his knee

Nice dancing lesson between Arya and Brienne ... and Podrick just could watch those 2 dancing, with an open mouth

I agree. When we watched it my wife said who was that. I said Bronn stared at the white horse so it must have been him. I backed it up to show it to her and she agreed that it was most likely. But this is thrones so you can't be 100% sure since they didn't show him clearly.

My question is, they said they need food so I was wondering why they burned it instead of just taking it.

Spoiler:

Horse carts are much slower than Dothraki Horsemen. And the distance between the location of the Ambush and the spot where the Dothraki landed may be large. Taking the carts with them would slow the army down considerably, so I guess Dany didn't want to risk any counterattacks from Kings Landing by taking any spoils of war with her. After all she most probably doesn't know about the strength of Cerseis army (just as she didn't know about Cerseis secret weapon or about Eurons fleet).
Therefore, I guess, she decided to let the attack be a simple hit and run attack

[rah]

Probably so, but they're eventually going to be place KL under siege so stash it for later. But yeah, just deny it from Cerseis' forces is probably for the best.

[Lorizael]

Also apparently the producers have said that Dany and Jon...

Spoiler:

...have chemistry.

The plot for several episodes was leaked a while back.

Spoiler:

In episode 6 Jon leads a ranging north of the wall with the goal of capturing a white walker (the undead zombies of the Others) which they do end up doing but they get ambushed and almost wiped out before Dany shows up with her three dragons to save the day. The others do kill one of the dragons though and raise it as an undead ice dragon. Jon gets killed during the fight but Barric Dondarion gives him the kiss of life thus sacrificing his own life to bring Jon back (again) and everyone evacuates via dragon back. Jon falls off the dragon when it is taking off and is left behind only to be saved by his undead uncle who gives Jon his horse and then "dies" trying to hold off the others while Jon escapes over land.
