I thought Arya was going to encounter White Walkers when her horse was spooked and you could suddenly see her breath.
Did you notice the very last thing she said when Nymeria left? “No, it’s not really you.” - could it be that Bran was warging into Nymeria and seeing Arya?
Nope. They explained that after the show. It harkens back to season 1 when Ned Stark tells Arya she could be a lady some day and Arya responds, “That’s not me.” Arya had to be free and wild. Arya recognizes Nymeria is no longer domesticated and needs to be wild like she is.
That’s the question I just asked - how did he get an entire armada of massive ships so quickly, especially after his niece and nephew took the best ships?
The only mentions I can think of is Euron(?) says they are going to build new ships after those two took the best ships. Then the scene where the ships on are there way to kings landing. Then last nights sea battle which looks like theon is floating in the wreckage of most of his fleet. I liked how theon reverted back to reek after looking around and hearing all the cries. I liked how they got ambushed. I hated that this new fleet is suddenly around and so easily decimated the “old” fleet. It just seemed really rushed as I think someone early put it for this episode.

Definitely rushed. This new armada seems vastly larger and superior to the “best ships” taken by Yara and Reek. This of course, begs the question - if you the Iron Islands had the ability and capacity to make these “super ships,” why did they not do so in the first place? Yara runs off with the better part of the Iron Fleet. She had at least 100 ships and they were said to be “the best.” As she is sailing off, Euron says, “Build me a thousands ships and I will give you this world.”
So, how many were built and when? If they were capable of this number and size, why did they not have this fleet before?

I think the writers engaged in a bit of compression as regards the new fleet and other aspects of the story. It looks like a couple of years, at minimum, have passed since the ironborn took to building that fleet for their new king. I suppose if every man and boy were put to the task they could have turned out a fleet like that, under the proper guidance, or maybe whip lash, of their new king.
Being an old Navy man, and knowing a little about England and how she built her fleet, I’m wondering just where the ironborn got all their wood and other naval supplies? Because it sure seems like the Iron Islands were barren and windswept l and almost totally devoid of wood. Or at least wood in sufficient quantities to build a thousand-ship fleet. But that’s where suspension of disbelief is supposed to come in for all of us, I suppose.
Who cares who’s boats are bigger, or faster, or whatever …
Did these two navies just happen to bump into each other? One on its way from Dragonstone to Kings Landing and the other from Kings Landing to Dragonstone?
“Excuse us! We’re on our way to kill your queen”
“Well, we are on our way to kill your queen”
He’s is not a military genius at all. He is a chaos maker. His whole purpose is to burn and destroy. The show needed it badly. All the fancy maps, old ladies lecturing everyone because she is old, uncomfortable sex, my chubby awesome buddy cleaning out bedpans for 45 minutes and the endless boredom of John Snow talking to a room full of Scotts was just killing me. Now we have someone who is uncontrolled fearless and will come to no good. EXCITEMENT!!!
“We will not use the dragons we will use guile.”
“I have my eyes everywhere.”
“I didn’t want to be your king.”
“I am old and you are stupid.”
“I really want to fuck my sister.”
“Hey! I deep port with a large castle not being guarded.”

It was clear last week that Euron knew where Yara’s and Theon’s fleet was and where it would be. Somebody is feeding him information, and he probably has spies out and about, if he knows what’s good for him. He’s a ruthless sod, and likely to betray all of them and take Westeros for himself as soon as he sees the main chance.
I wonder what the cycle time on that giant crossbow is gonna be?
Because, unless you get the three dragoons lined up just right, and shish-kabob all three at once, the other two are gonna cook your ass after you take the first one down

I thought he said they were building multiples of them.

I do… in a show with giants, dragons, witches, people who come back from the dead, frozen zombies, slave armies and diseases which turn you into some kind of rock lizard, you goddam can’t make a fleet of giant ship appear over night on an island that looks like it only had a few trees to begin with. It ain’t right.
That and most of the show has a timeline establishing things. This happened in a distorted fashion.

I think the big crossbows are a head-fake with regards to plot, since I’m a believer in the theory that we’ll see the three Targaryens (allegedly) all riding a dragon (Dany, Jon, and Tyrion). So ain’t no dragons gonna die.
I think they will come in heavily during the white walker battle(s).
I always thought this ever since the white walkers showed.

But then I also think something will happen to prevent the dragons from going north and melting the white walkers. It just seems to easy for them to go up there and wipe them out.
