Shall we begin? We’re back, baby!
In today’s episode of our Game of Thrones podcast, Oysters, Clams & Cockles, we discuss all things “Dragonstone,” breaking down and discussing each crucial scene from last night’s premiere, including one that was destroyed by mother fucking Ed Sheeran for some reason, and a shocking cold open featuring full-on badass Arya Stark, much to everyone’s enjoyment. After the opening sequence, the rest of “Dragonstone” was mostly setup for the remaining 6 episodes of the season, which was to be expected. All-in-all, it was a good start.

The poop scene was definitely gross but it had some seriously skilled editing
John Bradley-West (Sam) was on Facebook Live yesterday answering questions and he said the shit in the bedpans was wet fruitcake. Just in case anyone had any real desire to know what it was.
Arya will kill Jamie, then use his face to fulfill the prophecy.
That kinda ruins Jamie’s arc.
***
Cersei will see Danaerys marching on Kings Landing and out of spite orders all the wildfire to be lit under the city. In a cruel twist of fate Jamie kills cersei to prevent her from burning Kings Landing down to the ground, just as he did with the mad King, bringing him full circle.
***
When Danaerys has her visions in the house of the undying in Season 2, one of her visions was the iron throne room burned down and snow falling through the holes in the roof=kings landing will burn come winter.
The Macbeth like twist of the prophecy would be fun though. Everyone is in suspense about Jamie’s moral turn-about and the prophecy, but then it comes to be in a trick way. Shame he has to die to give his face. Maybe he can pull some Harry Potter ish.
After being on a liquid diet all weekend, per docs orders, the shit seen really hit a nerve. I puked in my living room.
hahaha
Ed Sheeran is going to meet Bran and be like “When your legs don’t work like they used to before….”
Can you imagine if you had to watch this episode in 4d?
Would it be worth it for the sex scenes if you had to suffer through poop scenes?
The shit montage was brutal.
There is a Euron/urine joke here somewhere.
Not that they were somehow amazing scenes but I think you were all too harsh on the Sam scenes and the scene win Arya and the Lannister soldiers.
I just can’t wait for Arya to disguise herself as Ed Sheeran.
Am I the only person that hated Ed Sheeran being on GoT? I couldn’t even focus on the show I could only stare in annoyance at his terrible hair.
I don’t understand the big deal. He was on screen for like 2 minutes and the scene helped to give a wider view of the story. The game really is just between the great houses, the rest of the people just want to go home.
Also it contrasted with her first scene of killing the Frey men, some if which were probably just like the Lannister soldiers taking orders from evil people.
This message is paralleled with Jon and Sansa’s debate, where both made great points, but Jon’s argument of not holding everyone accountable for the sins of a few bad individuals was ultimately the right decision (we the audience are silently told this is the right decision when we see that the Karstark and Umbers that Sansa wanted to kick out of their homes are just little kids- totally innocent of the crimes of their household).
I agree with your analysis of the scene, personally I thought it would have been more impactful had Ed not been in it. He being in it sort of pulled me out of the scene. Usually the show is good with cameos but this one seemed sort of ham fisted.
The scene was a surprise gift to Maisie who is a big time Sheeran fan.
Honestly, the Sam scenes were totally fine by me, and the only reason the Arya scene bugged me was Ed. Show is too big and too good for any celebrity cameo, IMO. Not THAT big of a deal though, grand scheme of things.
I just got paid $6940 wor-king off my lap-top this month. And if you think that’s cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $9k her first month. It feels so good m-aking so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do… Click here And Start Work
Who?
Euron is going to bring Arya, and Cersei is going to kill Arya.
I give this a 2% chance of being accurate.
Euron may not be involved, but hundo p that Cersei kills Arya.
Eurons “gift” to Cersei will be the sand snakes who killed Myrcella.
-source seen episode 2
Apparently there’s a new character much worse than that cunt Ramsey, I think It’s Euron
Why the hell would you spoil this? You’re the worst.
I’m digging the horn theory.
