Turns out the NK just wants to give everyone a kiss.
What was the Night Kings original plan of destroying the wall prior to acquiring a Dragon?
Why do the characters have to keep reminding the viewer of every little detail? Why are there so many terrible jokes? Bronn making an Unsullied joke was pure cringe. Season 1 writing was night and day
Where was the Horn that Sam found?
How did Sam know about Jon when Gilly read it and he didn't pay attention?
Why did Jon Snow have sex outside of marriage if he is trying to be as honorable like his father? He didn't have choice before since he was undercover and under oath, but now he can get married and raise children. His principle on bastard children and that he didn't want any was admirable tbh.
I like the show but I guess I'll continue the books since I don't think it will have a good conclusion.

Even if there is a legitimate explanation for it (why wasn't it explained in the episode then) it's still a weak point of the GoT universe.
doesn't he have the decency to respect privacyJaehaerys would be perfect. Both names start with J, would've been fitting that the first name Ned thought of would be Jon, and he looks like a Jaehaerys. He don't look like a fucking Aegon.
I gotta go watch the episode again
Isn't that wahat you said?
No. He's confirmed stronger than before he was alive. When was ol' boy shooting blue flames when he was living? It's hotter.
I think 2v1 dragon fighting he'll still have the advantage. I'd wager he has other unique abilities that have yet to be revealed.

? bro you are proving my point here. blue fire is hotter than orange fire, therefore, if the zombie dragon misfired, he would do even more damage to the NKing's army than Jon & Dany ever could

yes, which is what is confusing me
where was this confirmed dude?
edit: sorry for double post

It's been getting worse with each season. Characters becoming caricatures of themselves, and I'm sure there's some amount of the writers being aware of what a lot of the "fans" like and what gets spread around as memes and having that influence some of their work. It's still a good show in my book, but I think this kind of stuff is inevitable with every show that goes on for a long time.

The Lord of Light has Jon's back, so he can cut back on the honour shit when hot af Dany the Dragon Queen is eyeing him.
Last night when he melted the Wall with blue fire.
Or are you asking me when was it confirmed blue flames are hotter than orange?

Agreed. Reading others calling him "Aegon" cringes me out.
Jon Targaryen's good enough.
Or maybe, the more logical rasion is that it's blue because everything else about the Ww is blue.
Yeah, I wonder why...
I don't see yellow in the gif, it's blue then white.
but the blue is near the source, ie hotter.
It's possible.

"Who is this blonde dude marrying Lyanna? Why're they bringing random characters in the show."

We know Aegon 1 was dead because we know that Ned was at the tower in Dorne when Lyanna dies after giving birth to Jon but we also know that Ned was at the Sacking of Kings Landing and had a falling out with Robert over the Lannisters killing the Targaryen children. They only became close again later on after Lyanna dies.
Lyanna is from House Stark and ALL the Lords and Ladies of the houses know the lineage of the Targaryen's. It makes perfect sense that she would name her son with Rhaegar after someone from his family now that we know they loved each other and were married and he was dead when Jon was born.
That would make sense, yes.
That's true but..
Dany burning her own soldiers: political/moral nightmare
NK burning his soldiers: no one cares, can make more

He was adamant in telling Jon who he is. But he assumed he was a bastard still.
Having this knowledge that he's the heir to the Iron Throne may change things.
Or not. It's interesting though.
It's a moot point considering that regular dragon fire is already plenty hot enough to wipe out any enemy, army or defensive position. Hot enough to turn people into ash, melt castles, the works.
It's more like Team Living have a couple of 10KT nukes and the Night King has one 20KT nuke. A weapon of even-more-mass-destruction.
They could chuck a piece of dragonglass at Viserion and the magic animating him should break.
Obviously they're not going to but there's no reason why it shouldn't, unless the NK being in contact means the magic is unbreakable.

The music in this show is incredible. Playing it on Spotify right now
"Casterly Rock" was a great opening track
Wait what

Good catch.
Yeah, I kinda expected that Brans detailing Jon's parents was one-time thing and that it would never be mentioned again. Highly doubt Jon would rise above his statue and his whole existing would be to stop the army of the dead.
We also have 6 episodes left, so not enough time for everyone to gasp and talk about who should be the rightful heir.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Did Cersei say the Golden Company has elephants? I hope they're LOTR-style fantasy elephants and not equivalent to ours, could make for some dope battles next season.

Euron's teleporting them.

Have you missed the part where Euron lied about going home and is headed there with all his ships instead?
The perfect man for the job as he's quite adept in the art..

"I'm not scared of dead men. I'll just teleport away!"
"Fuck, he's got us there. Well, have a good winter, Euron."

Not sure what you mean, Euron is going to be the one to bring the golden company to westeros.
Man, Jon and Dany will suffer a lot of casualties against the WW's, with the golden company Cersei will end up with the upper hand.
Or maybe NK just kills everyone.
Oh I see. Yeah I think I did.

If the show ends with that and the moral is "Political intrigue might be fun to watch and participate in, but it will destroy our species and the world if we don't knock this shit off".
I'd kind of love it.

Then dragons get much bigger than they are now though right? I doubt the dead dragon keeps growing so when it meets drogon the size difference will be even bigger.
Yes, Tywin being alive would have prevented that.
Sam told Gilly what an annulment was. He was annoyed and preoccupied with other things, but he heard her.
You ask why writers remind people of details. Seems like people actually need it.

Well then, that was something. Next season can't come soon enough.
Didn't they say they're full sized dragons?
This is pretty much where I'm at right now. The previous episode was so dumb. I've just stopped thinking about the show and try to enjoy it for what it is. Still, that was a pretty good finish to the season.
That would surely mean they both die. "Bittersweet ending."
This so much. It must be frustrating when people say "they don't let us figure anything out and everything is obvious." While on the flip side others will forget pretty big details and blame it on shitty writing.
Granted the writing wasn't the best this season, someone asking who Rhaegar was is hilarious.

Maybe they both die but get married in the afterlife while looking at a photo of Cup Noodles.
Even if you add piracy, which is measured worldwide, it doesn't equal the 130m that watched the Mash finale in the US alone.

Watching the Burlington Bars reactions.. the Littlefinger part had them going wild lol
edit:
And that Littlefinger trial is great. i love how everything is just laid out. Everything he came up with Sansa had the answer that would make him look as bad as possible lol

She was reading the notes he had already transcribed, he says it right in the episode.

Hard to say actually. Tywin agreed with Margaery marrying Tommen and it was Margaery gaining Tommen's ear through seduction that caused him to reject Cersei's advice leading down the path she took.
Who knows if Tommen actually listens to Tywin or if he rejects his advice the same way he did his mothers and where that leads.
