A dragon that breathes " white steam" that freezes you in your tracks would be epic.
We can have “burnt to a crisp” versus “popsicle city”…
I have given up on Game of Thrones as too violent and disturbing for me. But I have to say that gouf78’s post is hysterically funny!
A few takeaways:
Apparently, walls don’t work. (I’ve heard that somewhere else.)
One of my favorite small scenes was the Hound smiling proudly when Brienne said Arya was super tough now. Like 2 proud parents.
I thought for a few seconds there that we’d find out who the valonqar is.
Gilly found that info, and Sam took credit. Figures…
Nice to see Littlefinger played for once. Bran is handy to have around. Seems like he binge watched the past 6 seasons.
We didn’t see Tormund or Beric die, right?
Aegon (the VI)? I though for sure Lyanna was saying his name is Jaehaerys. I guess the show hasn’t even mentioned his dead (?) brother Aegon.
They should have used a slightly different wig for Rhaegar than for Viserys. I think a lot of people will be confused, as if the Targaryen lineage isn’t already confusing enough.
Ahhh, and Jaime riding off to join his brother.
^ … and Brienne.
Where’s Bronn?
Also, what was with Tyrion staring at Daenerys’ door on the ship?
Tyrion was the one who told her to ditch Daario Naharis so that she would be free to “form an alliance” in Westeros. Is he supposed to be jealous (like Jorah) or did he make some deal with Cersei after he realized she is pregnant (or wanted him to think that) and the scene cut out for us but something happened to change her mind about what to tell Daenerys and Jon about her decision. He doesn’t have any idea who Jon really is, right? (Or possibly who he is… but there are only 2 dragons now.)
How come nobody on the show figured it’s ridiculous to have Jon wear the same outfit (swathed in fur but no hat) in freezing-to-death beyond the Wall situation and warm King’s Landing?
^^Hollywood has no experience with snow or cold weather except for what they read about in books.
Did everyone but me know that Jon Snow’s cape is made from an IKEA rug?!

I think Tyrian will be a witness one day to verify that Jon is the father of Dany’s child if he falls in battle. Which they might make him do to get rid of the incest scenario and all.
Three possibilities:
- Tyrion doesn't think this relationship is a good idea, politically. If Daenerys is going to use sex to form an alliance, it shouldn't be with someone who has already allied with her. She's taking both herself and Jon out of the game, and they might both be better off making political marriages with others who are less committed to their shared cause. Also, the North may not react well. The North can be fussy about some things.
- Tyrion envies them because it's unlikely he will ever have a relationship of this quality. He's usually reduced to paying for sex. It's hard to be a dwarf and therefore to be thought of as a less-than-desirable partner.
- Tyrion loves her. It's harder for him to see her in a new and apparently very meaningful relationship than it was to see her in an already-existing and mostly superficial relationship with Daario.
Maybe all three of these feelings are in there somewhere.
Didn’t a witch in a flashback scene tell the young Cersei that she would see all 3 of her children “shrouded in gold” (i.e.; dead). If so, she can’t have a 4th child and is faking it for her benefit. Of course, reading fortunes can be notoriously difficult…anyone else think they remember what the witch said exactly? And once Jon learns that he is in an incestuous relationship with his aunt, marriage to Sansa will no longer be incestuous. Despite the lack of spark between Jon and Sansa, they seem pretty similar to me. However, the whole “fire and ice” theme suggests that the King of the North and the Queen of Dragons will be a pair. And who will Arya kill next from her list? Give that girl an obsidian dagger and I do believe she could single handedly destroy the Night King, with the rest of the army falling. I’d like to see her in a show down with Cersei, however. Do the books already reveal the ending?
No, the show is quite far beyond the books.
Sansa is his first cousin. That’s not as close a relationship as aunt/nephew, but it’s close enough so that marriages at that level of relationship are forbidden in some U.S. states.
Besides, Jon and Sansa grew up as brother and sister. The “ick” feeling about incest would be there, even if the relationship is distant enough so that the Westerosi would consider marriage between them acceptable.
BTW, I also particularly loved the little “proud parent” moment between The Hound and Brienne.
The relationships are pretty hard to keep track of, thanks @Marian.
Yes, but another witch told Dany (in convoluted terms) that she would never have a living child. Yet an awful lot of fans think that she will have a child – and Jon suggested that witches are fallible in the season finale.
Do we trust one witch but not the other?
One was a witch and healer, the other was a fortune teller. I’d trust the fortune teller! “Gold will be their crowns and gold will be their shrouds”, she said.
The writers are certainly telegraphing that Dany will have a child. Her parents were brother and sister so I doubt she’ll care about the incest, but Jon will not be into it (at least if his secret is revealed). I do sort of wonder if anyone will even believe that Jon is a Targaryen. Everyone thinks Bran is a complete weirdo and Sam doesn’t seem to have a whole lot of respect. Maybe someone else knows? He might be better off keeping it a secret.
Jon/Sansa would be . . . .weird. My guess is that Gendry will be given the Baratheon name once Cersei is out of the picture and he will marry one of the Stark girls. I can’t imagine any other reason to bring him back.
Maybe Jon and Dany will die and their child, conceived this past episode, will become the ruler of Westeros.
That would be awful
