If he didn't want to kill her, it was the only thing he could have done. Otherwise Davos would have left, or killed her himself.

I honestly believe Jon would rather be Warden of the North than King of Westeros. He has no connection to everything else and he doesn't seem to be the type of person who would enjoy that. I think he would want to remain and stay with his people in the North
Dany's father was the Mad King, Aerys. Aerys' son, Dany's older brother, Rhaegar had an affair with Lyanna Stark, resulting in Jon. Which means Dany is Jon's aunt.

She thinks the Lord of Light has a plan for Jon, so I don't think she would turn against him. What might present a problem though, is if Dany brought the other Red Priestess with her. Can't have the followers of the same deity thinking two different people are the Ones Who Were Promised.

mad queen circe. looks like breanne still has a chance with jaime lol
They were on her list at one time at least. She was pissed at them for betraying Gendry and turning him over to Melisandre.

I think Jon just doesn't want the White Walkers to kill every living thing south of the Wall at the moment. The Iron Throne seems like the farthest thing from his mind.

I wasn't expecting Arya at all this episode.
When she was saying your sons are already here. I was expecting them to be hanging in the darkness or something, killed by Jaime since he asked what use they had for them.
More happened this episode than most of last season, the pace everything is moving at is crazy fast.

He was in there for sure, sitting on the other side of Mace I think.

Yep, he was right beside Mace when the place went kaboom.
I figured we would get the reverse of this scene.

Great reveal to not only see her in Westeros but being able to change faces.

He treated her in a way that would have gotten him killed regardless provided with how crazy she is.
She wasn't even surprised that Tommen was dead, or at least seemed to have had no reaction to it. Like yeah, oh well.
Imagine how much more satisfying that would've been if the Arya storyline had been done well for the past 2 seasons. Oh well, at least she's back in Westoros now.

Well how great an assassin do you need to be if you can perfectly disguise yourself as another person? Important people always need to have common people surrounding them, which is what makes the faceless men so dangerous. That scene completely justified her entire S5 and S6 arc.What a fantastic episode. Shame about Margaery, felt her character could still have been interesting but I guess with the King gone the Tyrell's were fucked anyway.
I still have problems with Arya's storyline. I actually think they botched it really. We haven't seen her grow to be a great assassin, she was still doing stupid shit right at the end of her time with the faceless men. Now shes some wonder assassin capable of destroying a house. Ok it was the Freys but we never saw her anywhere near the level of skill needed to do what she did. Also do you think Hot Pie helped?
So Arya has to meet Melisandre as some point, I wonder if shes going to Kings Landing to kill Cersei or Winterfell to see her siblings.
I am also not convinced the Black Fish is dead, his death was so odd by GoT standards and he's been named dropped a few times since his "death".
Cersei is gonna be on the throne a good 5 mins.
I wonder if Sam will have a hard time convincing the maesters that the white walkers are back and if he does, surely they'll do more than just train him?
Jon is the rightful heir to the throne, but I doubt he wants it. If Bran ever reveals the truth and it becomes public knowledge it will be interesting to see what Danny does.
Who is left of house Tyrell? Olena is old, shes gonna have to kick ass fast.
Whoever found the girl playing Lyanna Mormont is a god damn genius.

Friggin' LOVED this recurring theme that kept popping up this season. Music has always been great but this season might have been my favorite soundtrack so far.
I don't think anyone who was inside survived, so yeah, I think he's gone.
Nah, it was a twist because i thought they totally botched it.
So then he'll probably come to the conclusion at some point that the only way to stop them is to become King first.

I have some grievances with this episode, mostly due to some amateur dialogue, but otherwise it was pretty great. The season overall was way better than the previous but the boring / stupid episodes in the middle bring it down. The highs were really freakin high.
That's true but how will she come back to Jon? Maybe she shows up in a moment of need? Can the Lord of Light give her a different face? Ahhh so many questions
Correct. They were only babies when all that shit went down with the Mad King and Robert's Rebellion, which is why they were sent to Essos in the first place, and coincidently why Ned lied about Jon's true parentage. Robert would have killed any Targaryen baby in the Seven Kingdoms.

There's so much I want to discuss that I don't think I can handle it.
Cerci is fucked. Jamie vs the Mountain? Any guesses on how the mountain will go down?

it was hard to get enough satisfaction from arya slicing walder frey even with her savouring it a little, maybe it's because the red wedding played out so gradually and was so vicious. Here arya just turned up with hotpies with a dash of frey
On the bright side seeing jon and Sansa talk about winter finally arriving and then him being hailed as the King in the north was immensely satisfying for me

Whatever rocks her boat.
I'm calling it, Melisandre will cross paths with Jorah Mormont and cure him.

The amount of amazing scenes in this episode was insane. I actually kind of forgot about the Dany and Tyrion scene until just now but it was a beautiful moment as well
Oh yeah, holy crap. I legit teared up when she gave him the pin.
Cersei put in dat work....
Haha, holy crap. So did Cersi give a "Nerf THIS!" Or "FIRE IN THE HOLE"

Oh.
Arya was the one eyeing Jaime, the one Bronn pointed out.
That just clicked for some reason, lol.

You dont need to be an expert to feel that some lines sound corny and lame as fuck.
Fuck. I just had giant realization. The Three Eyed Raven was alive all that time just to tell Bran that Jon is the son of a Targaryen. WHICH IS ALL RELEVANT TO THE WHITE WALKERS AND SOMEHOW BECAUSE HE CAN PROBABLY RIDE DRAGONS AND BURN THEM UP AND SHTI AND FUCK I"M TOO EXCITED. FUCK I REMEMBER DANY'S PREMONITION AT KING'S LANDING AND FUCK I HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR FOR THSI SHIT?

What if the reason there is three dragons is one for Danarys, Jon Snow, and an unknown Targaryen? All three of them will fly the dragons to take on the white walkers.
idk, but it seemed very deliberate that jon told her to ride south, and not just gtfo
