Have you not watched the show lol? Watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFy1Jbdv7sQ

Yeah same video I was going to go find.

Without any visuals to put to the scenes up until S6 at least showed Lyanna, it's certainly reasonable that many viewers wouldn't really retain all that information over the years... but the backstory of Rhaegar/Lyanna is hardly some afterthought.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Dany def knocked up. No doubt in my mind.

Cersei's baby will date Dany's baby in the future.

Will be like the Harry Potter ending.

 

[TaterTots]

Tyrion may not be ya'lls homeboy next season. What happened after the pregnancy convo? Also, Jon saying he makes bad choices is kind of a pre cursor. He will be fine with banging his aunt.

 

[The Artisan]

Dude, if the leaks actually happened then we're all technically talking about the leaks, right?
lol

Well I don't know if the leaks were all right. I wanna look at them and compare what actually happened to it I bet there are gonna be some mistakes

 

[soundscream]

what an awful plot device then to dig up some corny ass 7 year old lore 95% of the audience would have forgotten in order to tie this show together. and no, I do not remember it.

LOL

It's not the shows fault you cant follow the plot.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

You mean the guy they went on about maybe 100 times including Jaimie'd whole raison d'etre?

jamie did that because of that crazy old king that wanted to blow up the city

 

[Loxley]

I had a feeling they were going to pull a Children of Húrin with Jon and Dany. Though hopefully it won't end as depressingly as that story did XD

 

[jack_package_200]

Soooo I guess Westeros is just like Iceland where everyone is just everyone's cousin.

 

[Kyoufu]

Oh well. I still love Dany and Jon as characters.I did find it weird but I love them both lol

I think they are going to kill Dany in S8. Just a feeling.

If you haven't noticed, they are extremely reluctant to kill off any of the popular characters, especially now that it's no longer following the books. I doubt Dany would be killed off. Fans would hate them forever.

 

[LotusHD]

All i'm saying is that people wanted that Jon and Dany moment to be a sweet and earned moment.
Instead everyone got a dude with a nice ass banging his aunt. No one should cheer for that.
This is what GoT does, it plays with your expectations.

Who didn't expect this? As in, we knew his parentage a min. ago, so it was always going to be "Eww" if they went there. I didn't expect Bran narration tho lmao

 

[Krombopulos_Michael]

So next season we'll see Jaime flip to Dany's side and Tyrion flip to Cersei's side.

Why would Tyrion work with cersei though. It is possible that cersei told tyrion about her plan...but I don't think the two will ever work together. But she didn't kill him so she must have some plan for tyrion. At this point I don't really know what tyrion wants. If all he wants is to help build a better world than that is definitely with dany, not cersei.

 

[vaderise]

Well I don't know if the leaks were all right. I wanna look at them and compare what actually happened to it I bet there are gonna be some mistakes

All of the episodic leaks of S7 were %100 legit.

 

[labx]

I guess the Dorne girl and her daughter just died in the dungeon?

I don't think so because all Dorne's army is waiting. I guess is bad writing? plot holes? etc..

 

[Volimar]

I loved the dragon breathing balefire, but I was hoping for the NK using some kind of epic magic to bring down the whole thing.

 

[Dunlop]

Sadly how they get defeated has already been strongly foreshadowed due to the previous episode.

It's a case of "head vampire".

I forget who mentioned that in the episode. But if it's common knowledge to man, you would think everyone would have just focused their efforts on finding the fucker before he could amass 100 000 zombies and take him out then

 

[Haly]

Bran's powers are so confusing. So he can see anything and everything, but he has to know to go look for it?

You can explain it to yourself like this. He can see anything and everything that has happened or will happen. In order for him (as well as any prior 3ER) to be able to see the NK cross the wall, he would've had to personally witness it at some point, via raven warging.

This is the trouble with omniscience as a storytelling device. It's very confusing and counterintuitive. Effectively he has no free will (if any of us do). He does what he's supposed to do at the time he's supposed to do it because he saw himself doing it and supposedly he doesn't make mistakes while greenseeing. It's much more strict compared to other types of future sight like the Force, where there's some margin for error.

 

[ryan299]

Definitely one of, if not the best episode of the season. Felt very satisfying, but that Bran scene was very funny. It just felt very awkward to have Bran suddenly spilling this diatribe about Jon interspersed with Jon & Dany getting it on lol

Yeah I thought that whole sequence was poorly written. I wanted them to slow down and show more of the past. Just felt awkward that Bran and Sam would have that conversation so quickly and come to the conclusion that quickly.

 

[VincentMatts]

They would destroy Tyrion's character completely if they go through with that I don't buy it, but he did find out she was pregnant just before the scene ended, so the only possible motive he would have is if he wants to protect the new baby after blaming himself for his other niece/nephew being killed.

It would still be dumb as hell though. Please don't do this.

To me it's pretty obvious. She knows that Therion will betray Dany after the meeting they have which is why she shows up after to say she'll join in the fight. At that point to me she knows that she has a plan with Therion and she's just putting on a show for them to leave. It also explains that look he had on the boat at the end because hes struggling with the decision to betray her after having grown fond of her.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

I was saying to my dad that this would have been the perfect music to go along with the White Walkers' march on the Wall and/or the Night King coming down on his dragon to burn it all down.

 

[Crossing Eden]

This is genuinely the most honest romance in Westeros history.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

what an awful plot device then to dig up some corny ass 7 year old lore 95% of the audience would have forgotten in order to tie this show together. and no, I do not remember it.

You're trolling right?

 

[broncobuster]

After that whole talk Jon gave Theon, about being a Greyjoy and a Stark, wasn't it weird how Jon turned the camera and winked?

 

[SargerusBR]

So why were people creeped out by Bran narrating?

*hot sex going in*

"Oh BTW they are aunt and nephew"

 

[The Artisan]

Dany def knocked up. No doubt in my mind.

So if Jon and Dany have a baby, he/she'll be his son/daughter, and his cousin

And he/she will be Dany's son/daughter, and her...grandson/granddaughter?

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

If you haven't noticed, they are extremely reluctant to kill off any of the popular characters, especially now that it's no longer following the books. I doubt Dany would be killed off. Fans would hate them forever.

Final season's fair game though. If they die towards the end who cares what the fans think?

 

[vaderise]

Who didn't expect this?

Majority of viewers who did not read the books or read ASOIAF theories every week.

 

[jfkgoblue]

I was shocked they brought up her "inability" to have children AGAIN this episode.

And quoted Mizzaz Mirai as saying something she didn't say. It's like D&D forgot they cut out the last part of her prophecy.

 

[Eggiem]

Oh well. I still love Dany and Jon as characters.I did find it weird but I love them both lol

I think they are going to kill Dany in S8. Just a feeling.

I wanted to see more deaths. I mean its the penultimate season and most of the important people are still alive. :/

 

[Robot Pants]

Soooooo what was the plan before they got the dragon?
Stare at the wall? I thought it was also held up by powerful magic

 

[Volimar]

Aww just like Romeo and Juliet....




In that their love fucked everything up.

 

[labx]

So if Jon and Dany have a baby, he/she'll be his son/daughter, and his cousin

And he/she will be Dany's son/daughter, and her...grandson/granddaughter?

wait... Dany's uncle/aunt, no?

edit: I'm confused.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Well I don't know if the leaks were all right. I wanna look at them and compare what actually happened to it I bet there are gonna be some mistakes

I wouldn't risk it, there could be stuff that didn't make the cut this season and got pushed to next.

 

[The Artisan]

All of the episodic leaks of S7 were %100 legit.

I'm on mobile right now so I'm gonna check them later, there's bound to be some mistakes

 

[theignoramus]

Am I correct to assume that Viserion is even faster in death?
He flew faster than any of the other dragons. His frost beams(?) are bloody fast as well.

The fact that he was personally reanimated by Night King is significant I think.

 

[NSESN]

So what will be the name of Jon and Dany baby. I bet on Eddard.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Aww just like Romeo and Juliet....




In that their love fucked everything up.

Lol, I hate Rhaegar more than I did when Gilly revealed it.
"My other son Aegon and my daughter? LOL, I need some Ice to go with this fire baby, they're not fit."

Ah.....fuck House Targaryen.

 

[LotusHD]

Majority of viewers who did not read the books or read ASOIAF theories every week.

But they've been flirting like all season. Last season we basically learned that he's a Targaryen. So all that was left was to see if the writers would have them fuck or not. The whole "sweet moment" was out of the cards for awhile now.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

This is genuinely the most honest romance in Westeros history.

And that shit lead to war.

Morale of the story, fuck love.

 

[Dougieflesh]

I bet they are and you will see a lot of it brought up on twitter and facebook

people on here just have a super high standard for knowing everything about this show because they like to discuss it on the internet.

most people were lost like me at that part.

Scrolled through twitter, saw nobody confused. Is this your first season of the show?

 

[DangerMouse]

He thinks Jon is a bastard. If Dany gets pregnant, he thinks it wouldn't be a legit successor?

Yeah, I think that's a good guess for why he was like that.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

You're trolling right?

How does one get this far into Game of Thrones and not know who Rhaegar is? He's an extremely important character even beyond this season's revelations.

 

[Eggiem]

So what will be the name of Jon and Dany baby. I bet on Eddard.

Egg.

 

[Nesotenso]

Well I don't know if the leaks were all right. I wanna look at them and compare what actually happened to it I bet there are gonna be some mistakes

they were right

 

[double jump]

LF died like a bitch. But I guess it was a full circle thing with the way Ned went.

 

[darkazcura]

what an awful plot device then to dig up some corny ass 7 year old lore 95% of the audience would have forgotten in order to tie this show together. and no, I do not remember it.

Awful plot device? This whole story exists because Robert rebelled and wanted revenge for Lyanna being 'kidnapped' by Rhaegar.

They have talked about Rhaegar plenty enough in the show. Heck one of Dany's dragons is named after him.

 

[Tonky]

I can't be the only person disappointed in Rhaegar. Looked like a slightly buffer Viserys. Actually I really think that was Viserys' actor

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I thought the dragons roar was really cool

 

[Crossing Eden]

Literally got himself cured of an incurable disease to be with his queen. Stay losing Jorah.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Lol, I hate Rhaegar more than I did when Gilly revealed it.
"My other son Aegon and my daughter? LOL, I need some Ice to go with this fire baby, they're not fit."

Ah.....fuck House Targaryen.

Except Jon, but he's more Stark than Targaryan imo.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

How does one get this far into Game of Thrones and not know who Rhaegar is? He's an extremely important character even beyond this season's revelations.

For real, in season one Robert talks about how much he hates him and dreams about killing him over and over again while in the catacombs of Winterfell.
