I watched Baby Driver and Prisoners today - both were fantastic. I love Kevin Spacey as an actor, it's just a shame he's such a shit person irl and he probably won't get another big role again. Prisoners spoilers:
I really did not see it being the aunt, I really enjoyed that twist! Also the fact Alex Jones was one of the kids who had been captured. Jake Gyllenhaal is amazing at what he does.

I think I'm going to give the episode an 8 on first watch. Story elements like Dany going mad for the sake of getting killed really ruined the overall season and show story for me, otherwise I imagine it would have been higher if there was actual set-up and payoff and not lazily rushed storytelling. That being said, there were some things I really enjoyed about this episode (if I ignore the shit writing and set up) Liked:Lannisters - I thought the scene of Tyrion digging through the rubble and finding Cersei and Jaime's corpses was very well acted and shot, it was nice to see that when it boils down to it that despite all the shit they went through they were still family and had some sort of feelings towards each other. Dany I thought there were some beautifully shot scenes involving Dany in this episode. The one where she's at the top of the stairs leading into the Red Keep and Drogon flaps his wings, making Dany look like she had them, was stunning. Further, the scene of her walking throughout the Throne Room whilst the vocal version of the theme song played was beautiful. I am sad she never got to sit on the Throne, but at least she was able to touch it. I do find it ironic that she broke the wheel, but was part of it and only through her death was it broken. Animals - Poor Drogon finding his mum dead. Him nudging her to see if she was still alive was heartbreaking. The scene of him melting the Iron Throne was amazing. I hope he has a happy life where ever he ends up. It was also nice to see Jon finally pet Ghost Small Council - I really enjoyed this scene and seeing a bit of joy at the end of the episode. I guess it's a bit fitting that Bronn gets Highgarden and Lord Paramount of the Reach, considering how the Tyrells got it in the first place; it's not like they deserved it either, but it's not like the people there will accept him. Davos correcting Bronn's grammar was funny, and it was so forced that they said ASOIAF in the show . On the topic of books I thought the scene of Brienne filling in Jaime's pages in the White Book was very nice. Starks - I really enjoyed the ending scene of the Starks saying goodbye to Jon and then going their separate ways. I agree that QITN was pure fan service, but it was a nice scene nonetheless. I am surprised that Yara didn't push for Iron Island independence if the North was going to get it - she was loyal to Dany. I guess she's learnt from Balon's mistakes? General Thoughts:
Dany's Army - lol at the amount of Dothraki and Unsullied she has after the Battle for Winterfell Jon justifying Dany's actions reminded me of the people on Reddit trying to defend the shit writing , "she lost her friends", "you weren't there" etc I had read the leaks for this season and I really thought I was going to hate Bran being King. Whilst I think it was pretty out of the blue, the execution was well done. Realistically, he's the only person there that was semi-neutral and would unite them all, compared to the likes of Sansa would not have been acceptable to the Dany loyalists like Yara. It was nice to see Edmure again. I just finished the episode like 10 minutes ago so I may update this once I rewatch or my thoughts are more clear in my head, it's a bit of a stream of consciousness at the minute

Reading the leaks for this season, my expectations were very low.
Surprisingly I really liked the episode.
