Did you know
- TriviaCersei's handmaiden appears wearing short cut hair and a high-collared black robe. According to Michele Clapton, the costume designer of the series, fashion of Westerosi high society follows a trickle-down pattern; after Cersei adopted dark, high-collared gowns, her household would follow suit, and no woman would show up Cersei by wearing longer hair than hers, after the Faith Militant forcibly sheared it before her walk of atonement.
- GoofsDragonstone and Casterly Rock are located on opposites sides of the mainland. It would have taken weeks, maybe months, for the Unsullied to get there. Likewise, it would have taken Euron the same time period to sail from King's Landing to Casterly Rock. There is no way each could have reached their destination so quickly.

Featured review
An awkward meeting for potential allies
Jon Snow has sailed to see Daenerys at Dragonstone, against the advice of those close to him, and soon wonders if they were right. Daenerys makes it clear that she is the rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and as such doesn't recognise his kingship of the north... still he must persuade her that it is vital that she helps him in the coming fight against the threat from north of the wall. Back in King's Landing Euron Greyjoy takes his niece, Yara; Ellaria Sand and her daughter Tyene to Cersei so she can have her revenge. Cersei has another visitor; this one from the Iron Bank; she promises that she will repay them soon. At Winterfell Sansa is reunited with Bran. Elsewhere The Unsullied attack Casterly Rock and Jaime's army attacks Olenna Tyrell's home, Highgarden.
This was a really fine episode. It provided solid character development, advanced the plot and bid farewell to a favourite character. It was great to see two of the series' protagonists, Daenerys and Jon Snow finally meet; this was handled well with just the right degree of awkwardness; they may both be considered 'good guys' but that doesn't mean they should be friends or even trust each other as each has their own motives. Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington, as Daenerys and Jon, along with Peter Dinklage as Tyrion had impressive scenes together. Lena Headey stood out as we see just how cruel Cersei can be. In other scenes Sophie Turner impressed as Sansa Stark; a character that has improved as the series progressed. Finally Diana Rigg was great as Olenna; her scene with on form Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was top notch. If the episode had any flaws it was the shortness of the battle scenes... although this can be excused as they were meant to be easier than expected for the victors. Overall a really good episode.
