    Yeah, to the extent that my wife and I both thought it had been outright stated and have been surprised that people thought it was a reveal tonight. Guess so, though.

    While the Dany/Tyrion scene was nice, it wasn't worth killing Barristan to make happen. Yet, at least.

      In other news, that was the best action scene the show has ever done, and that was easily the best episode of the season, but a country mile.

      Holy ****ing ****. I was convinced the Tall-Talker was going to die, thank Christ I was wrong.
      I think the battle at the wall last season was slightly better. However, tonight's episode was still epic. Those kids were so creepy, as was the army of lemmings. I loved when Edd was like f*** the dragon glass lets get out of here. Jon's look from what is the world's slowest rowboat was pretty awesome too. That must have been the worst sight ever.

      Also, having Tyrion in Meereen has already made it more interesting.

        • Yes, even my wife commented on the rowboat. An army of undead on the shore. I'd at least be rowing as hard as possible.

            • Back in season 1 when Jon Snow killed the white walker he threw the lantern at it and it went up like a torch. Why didn't they use fire in the last battle and how the hell did they get that giant on one of their ships without it capsizing?

              I think the book handled this better.

              • That seems incredibly nitpicky. The battle was awesome - enjoy it.

                  #1: that wasn't a white walker, that was a wight.

                  #2: a wizard did it. No, but really, those ships are massive, that can handle a giant.

                      • As much as I like action, I much proffered the Tyrion/Dany scenes.

                        • I thought the discussion was a bit dumb, though. Tyrion is there because he knows Westerosi politics, but suggesting that Dany abandons Westeros? So why should she keep Tyrion alive then? And in talking about the spokes of the wheel and who will support Dany in Westeros, Tyrion forgets Dorne completely? Who is this Tyrion?

                          • By suggesting that Dany abandons Westoeros he was demonstrating his expertise in the matter.

                            The whole fight scene (while entertaining) was a bit more dumb. Everyone still on shore should have died including Jon. (well maybe the giant makes it to the water)
                            And as i mentioned before, the far scene when they show the boat just drifting without really being rowed. (the motivation to frantically row was definitely high)

                            • Yeah, failing to mention that Dorne is still pissed off about the death of princess Elia seems like an oversight.

                                Similar that we didn't see the entire battle we may not have seen the entire conversation. (which I'm sure lasted longer then what was shown)
