Good to see you around (and happy belated birthday!)
Thank you. It's always nice to see you too. :)
It struck me just after I posted my review
Ooh, I must read this. I managed to miss it somehow.
You're quite right that scenes in this episode hark back to the beginning of the series. Which led me on to remembering all the Stark children had their direwolves then. Now there's only one of them left (unless Nymeria turns up again). Where has Ghost run off to now?
There has to be a reason they really played up Dany's arrogant side here.
I agree. It'd be incredibly tough for her to stand aside for Jon, no matter what her feelings are about him. On the other hand, the Targaryans have a history of incestuous marriages. Maybe she'll just say they should get married and rule jointly?
Though that sounds too reasonable to be dramatic enough.
Which gods can we pray to to change that around?
It's a shame. However, Yara isn't the one in need of redemption, I suppose.
that scene will be followed by several days of them standing around looking awkward before he can actually leave for Winterfell.
Well, I suppose Theon must still have the dinghy he arrived on Uncle Eurine's ship in. Probably, it's another magical one, like Jon's in season 7, which took him from Winterfell to Dragonstone in five seconds flat.
I think Dany's comment about dragons not doing well in the cold is probably important, don't you?
