5 seconds less of the joyride could have given us at least 30 second of Ghost. I am outraged about the fact that Ghost was not there, Jon hasn't asked about him or seemed to care, they used to be what Daenerys and her dragons are, connected by some kind of strange link. I know this season had to prioritize many scenes but I do think that D&D have made Ghost a disservice by making him expendable. I would have loved to see the reaction of Ghost to Dany's dragons, his reaction to Daenerys. They better not bring him back only on episode 3 to have him killed, that would piss me off.

Ditto If anything good comes off the revelation of Jon's birth IMO would be the fact that (even though he doesn't want the Iron Throne) he could negotiate several things before he renounces his claim and marries Daenerys, one of those things should definitely be the North's independence. Rob died for it and it would be a great thing that would redeem Jon in my eyes. With an independent north, but allied with the Iron Throne via Jon's half Stark origins, the Starks for sure could have a much better relationship with Daenerys, provided that she is a fair queen and doesn't uses her dragons to burn more people. Maybe with enough time maybe they will become close to her as well. I also can care less about Jon and what he does in KL, I think he would be miserable but hey you get what you get. Other than that, Sansa at Lady of WF and Arya as Lady Baratheon, all the while with Bran as the 3ER. They would remain a pack and that is all that matters.

She couldn't take the Iron Throne years ago because her dragons were not fully grown, she didn't have the ships to transport her army. She had to bid her time. If she had the ships she would have sailed to Westeros, Jorah had to talk her out of it on several occasions because they weren't ready. During that time she could have made herself familiar with the families and traditions of Westeros but that didn't happened. If it wasn't because Tyrion and Varys arrived looking for her, I am not sure what she would have done being that she had exiled Jorah and Barristan was dead. Unless it was behind doors, she didn't even know that Tyrion had to send Varys incognito to sweet talk Highgarden and Dorne into joining Daenerys, yet as of to date Daenerys has not (besides the North now) any other allied in the whole of Westeros. She is not really good into keeping allies, at least not in Westeros.

I know this doesn't matter at all unless they defeat the AOTD but I do wonder if Jon marries Daenerys is he will ever be truly happy in KL, in the middle of that viper nest that his the Red Keep. Somehow I just can't see it but maybe he will do it for love.

If she ever intends to be the Queen of Westeros then she needs to face the AOTD, sooner better than later. If it unfortunate that the North is first on the NK pathway, but without resistance, he eventually will conquer every place is Westeros collecting more dead bodies on his wake. I am sure this concept is hard for Dany to grasp but I hope that at least Tyrion has made her see this. At least Jon understood this and that is why he brought the wildings south of the wall. Imagine if Jon would have Daenerys attitude and would have try to force the wildings to bend the knee to secure passage through the wall? As a Lord Commander it was in his power to do this but he understood that he would just be making the AOTD stronger and much more difficult to defeat. I thought Jon's speech at the dragon pit was great, talking about how the dead are coming for everybody and not just the north.

Exactly, this 1000!! It was bad enough that he bent the knee without asking anybody about it, but let's say for the sake of the argument that he needed to do that to secure the army and the dragons. The fact that she had sex with her only complicates things because now the question that Sansa asked is completely relevant, "Did you bend the knee to protect the north or because you love her? why even put himself in that position when he knows there is a massive war coming, couldn't he/they have waited a little longer just as to not rub it in everyone's face? The north remembers that Rob lost the north when he decided to follow his heart rather than duty, who can blame them if they think that this is Rob 2.0 move? If they are mad about Jon bending the knee can you imagine what would their reaction be when they find out they are a couple and he is a Targaryen too?

I was also disappointed in Jon's reaction to Sam's news about his family WTF JON? I know that he has had to execute people, that some of his decisions have lead people to death, but this is your "brother" Sam, your best friend who is crying because he found out his brother had died a horrible death and you are still defending Daenerys? to his face? I hate when the hypocrisy is so blatant, wasn't Jon Snow who not only a season ago warned Dany about using her dragons and burning people and how if she did that, then she was no different from other megalomaniac rulers? and now that he is in love with her he is willing to justify all her actions? A nice, strong hug and some words of comfort for Sam would not have killed him. After he was calmed maybe try to justify or at least make him understand that right now was not the moment to create conflicts. I hate that the north/Starks/anyone who is not Daenerys basically has to shut their mouths and have no right to express their feelings at all just not to irritate the "Queen" because she might pack her toys and let them die. It sucks!!

I felt for Sam, what a horrible way to learn of his brother's fate. I think at some point he was even trying to justify his father's death and said that "now that my brother of the lord, I might be able to visit again" just to learn that his brother was turned into crispy bacon as well. That is the moment Sam realized that Daenerys for all her beautiful exterior would not be any different from any power-hungry ruler that has come before her. She will break the wheel alright, she will create a new one made to her own specifications.

I always thought that Tyrion was the little brother but now I am more inclined to believe that it will be Jaime the one who will end up killing Cersei I know they are twins but does anyone know who was born first? If Cersei was then technically Jaime could be consider a younger brother. I would love for her to be jailed and have to witness the reign of another one "younger and prettier" but unfortunately Cersei will never give up, she will fight until her last breath to cause problems for the new ruler, in this case her death is the only possible way.

I do agree, IMO their child is the song of Ice and Fire. I am reading the books back from the first one so maybe my perception is based on the book that I just finished but in that first book Dany does promise Drago that they will be together again and that is why it stroke me hard seeing all the predictions that Dany will finally have a child. I don't think that Jon wants to rule the Iron Throne and honestly I think that he will for a very short while while he splits the kingdoms apart. Another possibility is that he rules as a regent until his son/daughter can became the ruler. Another one of the predictions on the house of the undying has Dany getting close to the Iron Throne but not sitting there so that is why I think that her demise/death will put and end to her claim. I never particularly thought of GOT as a romantic story. what always fascinated me was the politics involved in it and how wonderful George RR Martin is at creating all the AU that surrounds it, for me it was always about about how the small folk get dragged into this stupid wars and suffer the most no matter who rules. IMO based on the book and the TV series Danny is and will always be a conqueror not a ruler and I doubt that George RR Martin will put her in the throne at the end. Jon has never wanted power and that is why he would be the chosen ruler, the one who will put and end to all of this by splitting the kingdoms apart and retiring to live a simple life in some small place raising his child and just being happy to be a simple man. In an ideal world probably Jon and Danny will end up together ruling the Sven kingdoms with their children and happily ever after but I will be very surprised if that is that case because there are no happy endings in George RR Martin stories, just cautionary tales about power and greediness and the unintended consequences where no one is ever good or bad.

I am almost sure that Dany dies. I am tempted to place a bet on it on that site. In preparation for the last season I started rereading since book 1 because several interviews from various characters have mention things like "back to the beginnings" and Arya in an interview mentioned how everything was related back to season 1, so it was very interesting to read again about the children of the forest and how the Starks relate to them and also to the Night King but what actually caught my eye more than once is how Dany at different times promises Drogo (IMO the love of her life) that "when the sun sets...... and when her womb quickens and she has a living g child, they will be back together" , she mentions this at least three times and promises it to him before she puts the pillow on his face and also as she is lightning up his funeral pyre. I have read so many theories were it is almost a given that next season she will be pregnant with Jon's baby and she will actually have a baby that I couldn't but help to think that there was a reason why George RR Martin has put so much emphasis on her promise to Drogo. I am not sure how she is going to die but I think she will fulfill her promise to Drogo and reunite with him in the afterlife. I won't actually be upset about this ending because I honestly believe that they were a perfect couple and she knows that her baby will be loved and well taken care of by Jon. I figure this is the bittersweet ending that all of them have talked about. YMMV.

I like sober Dorinda, I like Dorinda when she bonds with Carole over the memories of their dead husbands, I like her when she is hosting at her house, I like her when she is not with John. I do not like drunk Dorinda, her vulgar hand gestures, her loudness and her confrontational way. Cutting her hand on the Mexico trip put it all in perspective, she needs to lay down the booze. I do have faith that Dorinda after watching herself on the show and realizing how alcohol affects her interactions, that she will try to control her drinking, and then she can be nice Dorinda again. I have faith that it might happen. The problem that Luann faces is not just her drinking, not at all. The problem that Luann has is her arrogance to recognize when she is being patronizing and condescending. I am not sure at all that rehab can take care of that. I am also not sure that Luann think that is a problem at all.

The centers that her insurance can cover are probably not up to her Countess standards. I can't even imagine Luann socializing with the "plebe" The rehab center that Luann would go would be in the likes of the very expensive ones so if she wants those she will have to pay out of pocket. Not sure about her financial situation but I am assuming that for her children's sake the Count might be footing the bill.

The non wealthy, lack of social connection, blue collar workers, and also guys that have had nothing to do with her costars.

This is one of the realities of life that is one of the hardest to swallow. In the last days I have read a lot about this case on social media and there seems to be a general agreement that if Luann was not wealthy, famous, or white she would have been tasered. ,maybe even shot . Definitely a regular person would not have been let off without a hefty bail and a judge even warning her not to say a word as to not to incriminate herself. It is nice to be privileged like Luann likes to brag about , so much that she made it one of her tag lines for the first seasons, but to gloat about your privilege and then a situation like this happens and make it very obvious that there is indeed another set of rules for the haves and the have nots it is unnerving. Yes, we all know that life is not fair but some of this situations make it pretty apparent that the "We are all equal and no one is above the law" is really just a fairy tale.

She can screw anything and she does, good for her. There is a moment and a place, that is what separates us from animals. If she want to scream out of her lungs and swing from a chandelier then she needs to use her own place, that kind of behavior will get her kick out of any place as the noise complains will come on cue. Luann is not in this predicament for having sex with an "ex-boyfriend" aka ONS, nobody complained about that, the maid tried to warn her that she was in the wrong room and Luann couldn't care less, she still got down to business as if nothing happened, when the security guy came, exactly the same, by this I am assuming she has already had her sexual appetite satisfied but she still refused to listen to the security guy. Her lover listened and left and he never got arrested. It is not having sex what got Luann arrested , it is her complete disregard for these two hotel workers who tried to get her to leave on her own will before even calling the police. These two hotel workers did everything they could to allow her an exit where no police was involved. I bet she now wishes she would have listened to them but Luann listens to no one, specially if she considers them of lower rank. Luann and only Luann in her stupid arrogance is guilty of her arrest.

Coming late to the party as I just stumble upon this news on my timeline This is exactly the thing that I found more abhorrent of this whole incident. Luann had to deal with the housekeeper first, then with the hotel security guy, way before the police. If Luann was not such a snobby B*&^5 and had listen to the maid when she explained her that she was in the wrong room, it takes 2 seconds to look around and realize that none of your belongings are there and you have made a mistake. She screwed that poor lady, God knows how she spoke to her, Luann can be pretty belittling when she wants to be, at the end the housekeeper had to choice but to call the hotel security. She had to waste time out of her tight schedule to deal with Luann drunken rant. Then the hotel security come and in the height of her arrogance, Luann still refuses to leave, all the while her ONS has already left the room to call the friend, how many minutes passed until the police arrived? Every single second was an opportunity for Luann to admit her mistake, apologize and quickly leave the room. But not Luann De Lesseps, how dare this unimportant people try to tell her what to do? how dare they demand that she leaves a room that is not hers? Well, dear Luann, that is how karma works, if you would have listen to the housekeeper and left the room, or the hotel security when he tried to explain to you and left like your ONS did , none of this would have happen to you, you would not have been arrested and arraigned with several felonies, you would have been laughing at this whole fiasco. Yes, Luann , you made your bed and now you have to lie in it. It couldn't have happened to a better person.

JMO Why Luann married Tom? she likes to be married to a wealthy man, she likes to feel as if she was the chosen one, she likes to lord it over the other ones who were not chosen, she secured her position on the franchise and secure her income from the show, etc, etc, etc. But why did Tom marry Luann? Some viewers have speculated that there might be some inheritance with some specific conditions in place, that very well could be, but IMO there are more simple reasons about it. Tom recognized a "free spirit" in Luann, someone who basically could be a good partner to him in the sense that they could be married but still have their own personal affairs. Luann is nice looking, can carry a conversation and could maybe give some publicity to his company, simple things that could make them a perfect couple. Tom might have wanted some publicity for his business but I don't think he was ready for the intense scrutiny that he was under, it was mentioned at the reunion that Tom tried to break up with Luann before the wedding because he found out that Luann was giving constant information to the media and he wasn't happy about it. Even though Luann has denied it, IMO Tom was more inclined to have an "open marriage" with Luann, being that she had one with her first husband for many years it is not crazy to speculate that Luann knows how to keep appearances and Tom is incapable of being faithful to just one person. I think during the course of their brief marriage Luann tried to change the rules of the game, she wanted for Tom to be more discrete, she wanted Tom to stop seeing other ladies, Luann basically wanted him to become a more traditional husband but that is not what Tom agreed to and that is why he filed for divorce. That is the only reasonable explanation that I can find about why he is the one who filed for divorce and not Luann. Tom is a cheater and a consummated womanizer but I do happen to believe that he was honest with Luann about the conditions of their marriage, once he was forced to tried to behave in a more conventional way, he had enough and just cut his losses and filed for divorce.

I might be alone in this but there is something about Luann and Tom that never rang true to me. They had zero chemistry, he is not handsome or has a great personality, he is not even as rich as we might have thought at the beginning. He is also a known philanderer to make matters worse. Anybody with common sense knew this marriage was doomed. Luann strikes me as a very smart woman who is also very calculated. I don't feel sorry for Luann because I don't think any of this is real. I think Luann thought her apple was at risk and concocted this big romance as her way to secure her apple and income, the fact that next season it will be all about her divorce also secures her another season. I mean, Luann's alimony ran out this year so it is not too far fetched to think that she would be financially in trouble if she didn't secure her job with Bravo. Yes, she does have her home in the Hamptons but I just can't see her selling it It has been very lucrative for Luann, one season of romance, one season of marriage and one season of divorce. Knowing that he was a womanizer just played perfectly into her hands because she is now the victim who got cheated on which makes a sympathetic character. As I have said before, Luann is very calculating and opportunistic.

Absolutely! Even more so because knowing how vindictive Ramona is, it would have given her the perfect opportunity to speak ill of SGC. Not that she really needs an incentive for it. She would have done it gladly just to get revenge.

It kinda suck but I do get it. Bethenny wanted the trip to be about the Tequila and the production of her SGC, if she actually left Ramona in the house by herself, the trip would have been about Ramona being left out. Sonja would have talked about it relentlessly and it would have distract of the actual purpose of it. I would have enjoyed the scenes of Ramona alone in the house moaning and bitching about being left out, but in her mind she would have been the victim and milk it for all it is worth.

It is possible that the executives from Beam were there but didn't want to be filmed. Can you blame them? The helmets has SGC logos and so did the table also had SGC logos. As a promotional opportunity IMO it hit the mark.

Best episode ever!! I am so happy Bethenny put her foot down and didn't allow these two nut jobs to get away with their emotional manipulation, these two are just awful. I laughed so much the whole episode, it was great. What it wasn't great was Ramona's treatment of the staff. I have no problem when Ramona gets into a tiff with one of her cast mates, after all they are all being paid to be there and even though some of them are trying to stop their interactions to a minimal level (Bethenny), they pretty much have no other choice but to work together. Ramona treating the staff with such condescending attitude tells me all I need to know about her, there is no amount of words or tip that Ramona can provide to explain this. These people work for a living, this is the source of income and they have to put up with it. They can tell her to F&^% off and put her own things away, they can't tell her what they really think of her and her "requests" Ramona is a typical entitled woman who is not grateful for anything and thinks they deserve everything. This is her real personality. If anything gets misplaced or she forgot where she put it, Ramona would be the kind to accuse one of the staff and get them fired before even bothering to look around. I hate people like her.

Thanks for the link Wendy IMO Luann waited a couple of days to "sort of" deny it just in the event that there was pictures or videos of the incident. In case there was a picture, she now calls it a "love pat" - hmmm very transparent. The cherry on top? "We are having a lot of makeup sex" - code for whoever skank is messing with Tom gets the message that they are still having sex. Luann knows how to play the game like a pro.

Just watching this episode Is Ramona auditioning for Days of Our Lives? that was a poor histrionic performance. The difference between Ramona and Bethenny is that Bethenny doesn't want anything to do with Ramona and is willing to be civil with her for the sake of the show. Bethenny will move on in due time just like she did with Sonja. Ramona OTOH refuses to acknowledge all the nasty things she has said (her prerogative) but she wants to act as if nothing ever happened and Bethenny should just move on. Ramona is not interested one iota in Bethenny, her friendship, none of that. If Bethenny would be the same poor girl of season 1, Ramona would not be interested in her at all and would not give a crap about making up. Ramona is only interested in going to the events that Bethenny hosts, she is even pretending that she was invited when she knows she wasn't. She doesn't have anything else going on so she needs to be in as many episodes as possible, so much that she is now inviting herself and throwing shame out the window.
