It does seem slightly silly to expect too much realism from a show featuring dragons and ice zombies.

I thought they were both wearing some armor, but Bronn could have been in leather. Still, like you said...
I would have to go back and double check but I'm pretty sure Bronn wasn't wearing armor, just leather. It couldn't have been an easy job to pull Jaime up, though.Bronn and Jaime, both wearing armor, should have either drowned, or popped up to the surface no longer wearing their armor.
From the start of the battle in Episode 4:

As I said in my last post, I´m happy that Gendry is back, but I don´t understand why Davos went to get him. It feels like that was the only thing they could come up with. I laughed at the rowing comment.
Davos is the only one who has any idea where Gendry might be and knows who he is. He also seems to have gotten attached to Gendry during his time on Dragonstone, and thinks of him as a surrogate son - they both grew up in Flea Bottom, etc. I think it makes sense for Davos to be the one to pull him back into the story.
Apparently they tried to find a way to bring Gendry back last season but it didn't fit into the plot.

I just keep calling Dickon, Billy.
Tress, I love your thought process. Sounds a lot like mine!
Ben I am with you!
Same. Looks like we wont have that problem anymore though.
Bye Bye Billy...again. :p
Why didn't Jon just stop at Winterfell on his way to the wall?
Where is Sam going?
Jon went by sea from Dragonstone - Winterfell is WAAYYYYYYYY inland.
I expect Sam will head for Winterfell, where he'll expect Jon to be.

ACTUAL THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WHILE WATCHING S7 E5:JOE DEMPSIE IS IN THE OPENING CREDITS.... OMG GENDRY IS BACK
Mmmm, the castle at Eastwatch is now part of the map. I guess that makes sense for an episode entitled "Eastwatch"Bronn is alive!And he saved Jaime! (Of all the ways people on YouTube and podcasts speculated he would be rescued, I'm pretty sure NOBODY suggested Bronn would not only push him into the river, but pull him out. Although it did occur to me that he'd be the closest one at hand to do it
)Tell 'im like it is, Bronn!Oh snap, Bronn ain't sticking around to be roasted."I have to tell Cersei." "Might as well jump back in that river." *snerk*Rains of Castamere playing while Tyrion surveys the ash-covered battlefield... Haunting.There's a lot of POWs. Bronn and Jaime are not among them, though.Tyrion looks a little disturbed at the "bend the knee or die" bit.Drogon providing a little bit of emphasis there...Ooh, the Tarlys volunteer to die.Tyrion is REALLY DISTURBED by the prospect of Randyll Tarly and Dickin both being burned aliveOH CRAP ROASTED TARLYS... Guess that kills the theory that Sansa would marry Dickon to bring the Tarlys into the alliance. WooooooWhoa there, Jaime's in a bit of a hurry.Jaime is speaking lots of truth that Cersei does NOT want to hear.Jon, brooding on the cliffs... here comes Dany with a very. impressive. entrance.Awwww, look! Drogon likes you, Jon!Dany's all
Dany wants to know about the "knife in the heart" bizOH MAN! JORAH'S BACK!Awww, Dany/Jorah hug... And Jon brooding cuz HE'S JEALOUS?Dat's a lot of ravens!This must be Eastwatch.And THAT is a lot of zombies.Did the Night King see Bran in the bird?Sam speaks up in the Maester's meeting, eh? Tell 'em how it is, Sam!At least Archmaester Ebrose agreed to ask the Maester at winterfell for more info, as little as they appear to want to believe it.Ahh, so they know about the demise of the Tarlys - I wonder what Sam does when he finds out?Concerned Varys is concerned.LOL... "Did you read it?" "It's a sealed scroll for the King in the North......" (Of course he did)Jon wants to go home.Int'resting plan... bring a representative of the Army of the Dead to prove it to Cersei."How would we get in to King's Landing?" .... stare at the smuggler...Ser Jorah volunteers to go on the wight capturing mission.Jon wants to lead the mission. Dany doesn't want to let him go I think she liiiiiiikes hiiiimmmmmm
Sansa standing by Jon publicly even though the lords of the North and the Vale are suggesting they should have chosen her as their leader.Arya is concerned that Sansa is playing politics for personal gain.Oh this is tense.Tyrion and Davos sneaking into King's Landing...Jaime and Bronn training in the dungeons - ahhhhh, noooo, nice! Good job Bronn, bringing Jaime to meet Tyrion.The brothers finally getting to talk about their differences. I like.Blacksmithing.......gendrygendrygendrygendry... Davos coming to visit Gendry?"Wasn't sure I'd find you. Thought you might still be rowing." omgrofl I love the way they write in these shout outs to the fandomNothing f@#$% you harder than time, indeed.Gendry is ready to GOOOOOO. Oooh, and a spiffy new warhammer!These guards are making me nervous... they may not recognize Davos and Gendry, but when Tyrion shows up....LOL, fermented crab is the Westerosi equivalent of Viagra?Geeeeeeeeeez, of course they spot TyrionAnd Gendry's warhammer makes short work of 'em YIKESJaime's going to pass along Tyrion's message to Cersei?Oh she's not pleased.Cersei's pushing Jaime to punish Bronn? What?Wait wait wait Cersei is pregnant? What.Crap, he's so never getting off her hook now. nnnnnnnnnnghhhhhExcept that look on his face when she said "Never betray me again." was a little concerned.LOL.... Davos does all this work setting up a fake identity for Gendry, and he's all "Your Grace, I'm Gendry, Robert Baratheon's bastard son." *snerk*This is kinda cool seeing them meet for the first time.
Davos is put out that nobody's paying attention to his advice, lol"You may not believe it, but I've missed you, Mormont. Nobody glowers quite like you." Tyrion brings the snark, as alwaysDany coming to send off the expedition... Jon walking up while Jorah is kissing her hands YEAH WE GET IT, JORAH LOVES HER BUT JON'S ABOUT TO CUT IN.Dany looking on after Jon like "come baaaaaaaaaacckkkkkkkkkk"Gilly playing trivia games with Sam *snerk*"Guess how many windows in the Great Sept of Baelor?" "None anymore." LOL, too true.OH CRAP, GILLY FOUND RECORD OF RHAEGAR AND LYANNA'S MARRIAGE WHAAAAATAnd Sam's all irritated because he has no idea what Gilly just foundAlso, "Septon Manyard's 50,782 s#!^s" :rofl:Sam sneaking back in to the restricted section to steal more books...Apparently he's just DONE. Whoa.Whoa whoa whoa what wasw that? Littlefinger and - is that Alys Karstark?Arya is watching youuuuuuuuLittlefinger schmoozing with the Vale and North lords... trouble a'brewing...Stalker Arya is stalkingWhat did the Maester find for Littlefinger in Maester Luwin's records?A locked door is no match for Faceless Assassin Arya Stark!"If I were a sneaky bastard like Littlefinger, where would I hide a document I'm trying to keep anyone else from seeing?"Ah yes, in the mattress.The letter Queen Cersei forced Sansa to write asking her family to come bend the knee to Joffrey? What does he want with that?Ohhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhh, he's trying to set Arya against Sansa. What a jerrrrrrrrrrrrkThey're at Eastwatch already?With Tormund! Yay!"You need to convince the one with the dragons, or the one who f@$#s her brother?" "Both". *snerk*Apparently they found the Brotherhood and put them in a cell? What?Well this is a VERRRRRRRY INTERESTING GROUP."We're all on the same side. We're all breathing." Jon knows what's up.Heeeere we gooooooo into the frozen wastelands beyond the Wall, to find and capture a zombie to bring home for show and tell!NEXT WEEK: Jon and crew faces down zombies, while Arya faces down Sansa... ruh-roh.

Welcome, welcome! Make sure to check out the social groups, it took me far too long to realize how much fun there was to be had there. It's a great place to make friends.

Aren't Missandei and Grey Worm siblings in the books?
I thought that Bran had a little crush going on Meera in the books. You are probably right about Bran just being overwhelmed.
For Jon and Dany, you may be right, and when he said he wanted to show her something in the cave, I thought the same thing you did.
Missandei's brother (or I think 2 brothers) are Unsullied but Grey Worm isn't one of them. I think Mossador is supposed to be one of them. Regardless, in the books she's 10, so... yeah. Aging her up on the show opened that door.
Bran definitely is crushing on Meera in the books, but he's 7 years old at the beginning of the story. The timeline for the book action takes place over about 3 years, so without George's late lamented 5 year gap, he's not really gonna get the girl.
Show timeline started out with Bran as 9 years old, and the passage of time isn't terribly clear but he's obviously intended to be a teenager... so I guess they could have had the crush amount to something, but I guess they have bigger fish for Bran to fry, and it doesn't bug me too much to miss out on it.
It's totally sad for Meera, to be sure. But as Ramsay Bolton would remind us all, "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention."
George R.R. Martin is cruel.

Re: Bran - he got a super fast info dump from the 3 eyed raven before he was fully trained and prepared to take over the role. His circuits are fried, basically. In the books, he's still too young for the romance angle and while I am not surprised the show makes it look like more of a possibility, I'm kind of glad they're not taking Bran that route. The Missandei/Grey Worm romance was enough off-book pairing up for my taste
As for Jon and Dany... Daenerys grew up her entire life assuming she was going to marry her brother Viserys (and would have been married to Rhaegar if she hadn't been born too late). She definitely won't have an issue with it. Jon will probably get a bit wigged out by it when he finds out, but I would guess by the time he finds out it will be a fait accompli

Btw, I love to read your posts Tress.

Omg yes.
So much amazing.

ACTUAL THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WHILE WATCHING S7 E4:That's a relatively narrow road from Higharden to King's Landing.Aaaaaand that's a lot of gold.Bronn! Snarky as always!I love the fact that they're discussing the "there IS no more High Septon" thing, with that whole unspoken "Cersei blew him up" hanging thereBronn wants his wife and his castle of course... Oh, he wants HIGHGARDEN. That'd be interesting.Bronn misses Tyrion, doesn't he?Cersei is redefining a lot of terms *coughcough*"...establishing control over this continent and every person on it" Well that's just disturbing.That gold's not going to arrive, is it? *snerk*Ahahaha, nice fake out with the dagger being drawn in the previews... giving it to Bran isn't going to make him trust you, Littlefinger."I imagine you've seen things most men wouldn't believe." Hahahaha, you have NO IDEA.CHAOS IS A LADDER. Oh my. That'll make him nervous.Meera! She's still around Oh. She's leaving.
Emotionless Bran is emotionless.AMG ARYA!!!!!!!Nobody ever believes who she is...Aww man... no Rodrik, no Maester Luwin, no Jon.... But Sansa is "Lady Stark", that's cool right?LOL, those guys are scared of herrrrrrrrrrAwww, Sansa knows just where to find Arya.Yeah, Jon's gonna be so happy to see Arya when he gets home.Sansa, she's so not kidding about her kill list!Awww, Arya hugged Sansa. That's so sweet."Bran has visions." Understatement of the year.Sansa's very curious about this list of names... I think she's all "how can I make use of this vicious killer in my home... hmmmmm"And Arya has the dagger. PLEASE KILL LITTLEFINGER WITH IT. PLEASE.Brienne looking all misty eyed at seeing Sansa and Arya back home.Missandei all worried about Grey Worm."Many things?" *eyebrow raised* LOL... girl talk interrupted by Jon.That is quiiiiite a lot of dragonglass.Jon wants to show her something else? Like, stuff he's good at doing in a cave? *waggles eyebrows*Oooh, pictographs from the Children of the Forest!That's um... very detailed and creepy cave paintings.Of course she'll demand he bend the knee before she'll help the North. *sigh* OF COURSE.And now Tyrion has to be the bearer of bad news.*grimace* Dany is um.... not pleased.And Dany asks Jon for advice. Nice.More Brienne beating the crap out of Pod, nice.Oooh, Arya chimes in. "Don't fight someone like her in the first place."Arya asking Brienne to train with her, since she beat the Hound. This should be fun!Whooooo, Arya is such a badass.Sansa's all "how did my baby sister become such a badass?!""Who taught you how to do that?" "No one."That look between Arya and Littlefinger? THAT MEANS SOMETHING.Davos asking Jon what he thinks of Dany... "eh... she's a'ight.""I noticed you staring at her good heart." OMGROFL I AM GOING TO DIELOL DAVOS CHANNELING STANNIS... "Fewer." NO YOU ARE KILLING MEMissandei trying to clarify Jon Snow's confusing status as a bastard. *snerk*Davos clearly impressed."Will you forgive me if I switch sides?"Ahhh, the return of Theon.Jon's not gonna be too thrilled with seeing Theon again.Well, that was tense. Dany left.Ohhhhhh, Jaime and and the army. Well this is gonna be messy.All the gold is safely through the gates at King's Landing? Damn. I was hoping they'd meet with an unfortunate accident before Cersei could get her paws on it."Ser Jaime." "Rickon." "Dickon." *snerk*"Didn't they teach you that at Fancy Lad School?" LOL Bronn.Oooooooh.... that sound? That's um... lots of hoofbeats.That's a lovely shield wall. Nice for beng roasted alive by dragons.The Dothraki sound like they're having a ball.OHHHH CRAP. DROGON.DRACARYS.Toasted Lannisters, mmmmm.Dothraki firing arrows from horseback may be the coolest thing I've seen on this show.Bronn's all "I am not getting paid well enough for this."Dany's all "Ya missed me." Why isn't she wearing armor?Jaime appears to have gotten better at left handed fighting.Ahhh, saved by Rickon. I mean, Dickon.Yeeeeesh, poor horse.Oh hey. Gold.Everything is freaking on fire. Man, Sandor is lucky he's not there.Scorpion bolt through a Dothraki.... that's um... Overkill.Oooh, Tyrion's there.Randyll Tarly on fire?Bronn is a good archer... but apparently unlike Rickon Stark, dragons can zigzag.Nervous Tyrion is nervous.Ooo! Ouchies!Now you've ANNOYED THE DRAGON.Dany. Standing there unprotected trying to pull the bolt out of the dragon is NOT SMARTOh crap, Jaime.Whoo. Jaime just almost got his butt roasted.Hmm. Predicting Jaime taken as captive next week? Also, someone's gonna have to suggest a political marriage between Jon and Dany at some point. Who will be the first to suggest it? I predict Davos.Next week on GoT...Jon's back in Winterfell WOOO. Whoops... guess he's just hearing from Winterfell. And DRAGON IN THE FACE

I think I'd be just good with the sleep lol
Exactly!

Melatonin works really well for me... I know a lot of people who have tried it and say it doesn't help them a bit, though.
It works in about half an hour for me, I'll get a little bit sleepy - the kind of sleepy you can push through and stay awake if you want to, but if you give in to it and go to bed, you realize that you really can sleep.
If I let myself run out (or forget to bring it with me on vacation), I'll start to notice within a couple of days that I don't really get tired at a decent time of night, and if I try to go to bed early it takes me half of forever to drift off to sleep.

I should probably try guessing these at some point, eh?

Eeeeek! A troll!
I squeal loudly and run around it in circles, forcing it to turn constantly, faster and faster. The creature becomes ever more confused and dizzy, until finally I throw an angry cat at its face.
Nothing can withstand the angry cat.

That... thing.... is staring at me
Is its saliva dangerous? I'm afraid I may get paralyzed if it drools on me.Steeling myself against panic, I raise my wand and focus on conquering the alien.
RIDDIKULUS!
And with a POOF!, the slavering beast is replaced with a different sort of alien.
With a flourish, I tuck my wand back into my robes and turn with a confident nod.
Unfortunately, as I return to my seat, the temperature in the room plummets dramatically, and a piercing cry like the cracking of ice rings out from my back.
