WiC Live: We discuss the highs and lows of “Eastwatch”

Welcome to WiC Live, where myself, FanSided’s Kayla Knierim, and a special guest discuss the latest episode of Game of Thrones. This week, our guest is Culturess editor Gwen Purdom. And this week, we’re discussing “Eastwatch,” this past Sunday’s new episode. Watch it above!

To stay up to date on everything Game of Thrones, follow our all-encompassing Facebook page and sign up for our exclusive newsletter.

This week’s topics include:

• Jaime survived his trip to the bottom of that river with surprising ease. Was that a cop-out?
• Was Daenerys justified in burning the Tarlys? What is the show trying to tell us about the path she’s on?
• Is Jon Snow the Father of Dragons?
• We flirt with the idea of approving on incest when talking about Jon and Dany.
• “Gilly got mansplained.”
• Did Sam act too rashly in pilfering scrolls and dropping out of college leaving the Citadel? Where will he go next?
• Some of us feel that this episode was moving too quickly. Anyone agree?
• Gwen has a unique take on why Little Sam doesn’t appear to grow.
• We fall over ourselves praising Peter Dinklage’s acting in the Tyrion-Jaime reunion scene.
• Is Cersei actually pregnant, or is she faking it to manipulate Jaime? We take a vote.
• “Women are crazy, Dan.”
• Do we buy that Arya and Sansa are at odds? We hope they’re too smart to fall for Littlefinger’s tricks.
• Was Gendry’s return an example of too much fan service? Also, did the show just bring him back to kill him? We’re watching you, show. I mean, obviously.
• Note to lords of the Seven Kingdoms: Get better guards.
• Kayla is afraid for all of the guys about to go north of the Wall to hunt a wight…accept for two.

We stream this show every Monday at 10:00 a.m. CST on the WiC Facebook page. These final two should be intense. We hope you’ll join us!

Next: 'Eastwatch' sets another ratings record for Game of Thrones

By the way, if I ever seem discombobulated during these talks, know that we film these things the morning after the episode, after I’ve been up until 5:30 in the morning writing about the show. I wouldn’t be surprised if I record a whole episode with my shirt on backwards one day.
