The thought of a WW getting a dragon is nightmare fuel.

It's easier if you just assume that the show doesn't consider geography whatsoever. I think the showrunners made that decision a while ago.

Arya and Sansa meeting...I had tears in my eyes.
I was glad when I realized it was just Drogon. It felt a little cheap, but I could definitely see Bronn killing one of the others. Drogon got more banged up in the arena at the end of season 5. The shot of him tumbling out of the sky was cool, almost like when a helicopter gets damaged.
I want to say Jorah mentioned fighting for them after getting to Essos before he found Viserys and Dany.

I hope Jon and Dany don't fuck. Aren't they related? In that scene where it showed Jon was Ned's sister's kid, wasn't she knocked up by a Targaryan? I forgot who Jon's dad would be though.
Anyone think there might be more unhatched dragon eggs at Dragonstone?

Nope. Davos mentions wanting to hiring them all the way back in season four. Stannis is like, "But they're sellswords!" and Davos says, "We got a witch throwing fireballs man we can't be picky."
After googling, they are mentioned again in the same season by Jorah, who says he used to fight for them before he joined Dany. And of course, Cersei or whoever mentioned them earlier this season. I am curious to see if they pop up considering their importance in the books, but I doubt they would want to introduce so many new characters in the closing episodes of the series. They might just be reduced to dragon fodder.

So is Sam the number one male Tarly now?
I believe so, it also basically confirms that Cersei has taken over Aegon's role and Aegon will be on the Iron Throne at this point in the books.

nah they gotta get together at this point. No better end game relationship
I assume every dragon needs a rider in a battle like this, otherwise they may decide roasting Dothrakis is just as much fun as the other guys.
Jorah needs to get his ass back to Dany's side already to be the Dothraki's Grey Worm.
Finally, Samwell is going to be Dany's Maester, isn't he? That makes me happy.

It's the one with elephants and even dothrakis wouldn't go around and start a fight with them.
It's the largest sellsword company in essos and famous for burning down and sacking any cities that broke their contracts.
His plan was to see what kind of reaction Bran would have to the dagger that was meant to kill him. I wonder how he will interpret Brans response and how much Sansa has told him about Brans abilities

Re watching the scene were Jaime charges at Dany, it's absolutely 100% impossible he goes from puddle-depth river, to Mariana Trench-depth in a Bronn jump lol

Didn't pay attention to that during the airing.

Speaking of which, there was a little too much Yoda Jedi style to Arya's fighting choreography. She didn't look so calm and wise swinging a broom at what's-her-face.

Or, the dragon does try to burn him and he's unhurt since he's part Targ lol

That dagger is going to find it's way back to LF, I'm hoping - and not in a good way.
Poetic justice.
The way I look at Bran right now, is that he has the answers to everything. All anyone has to do is ask him the right questions. He could out LF in a big way if anyone asked what LF has been up to all along.

Honestly, I can kind of get behind the notion that an untrained Bran tapping into all the memories ever disassociated him from who he was. Not that I'm the biggest fan of it - particularly the specific fucking gobbledygook he's chosen to bring up with his access to all things ever - but for a season that hasn't felt the need to justify anything, especially after the fact... it's something.
Also,
I was trying to think of what this episode reminded me of, and it was definitely Khergit Khanate vs. Swadia

Read your analysis, liked it a lot.
Also Bronn's a real dick
on
Ahhhh Stark sibling hugs give me life. Seeing Arya wrap her arms around her sister and brother teared me up. I'm happy she's home.
I'm not sure I understand the point of LF's dagger gift to Bran though. Was it just to get under his skin?
EDIT: never mind, read the convo above.

Let it go, you could parse this show forever with that. How is he gonna swim underwater away from the dragon in full battle armor, in fact, how does he not just drown? How did Bronn's horse teleport to be alongside Jaime's, wouldn't he at least be perpendicular? etc. etc.

Totally agree. She doesn't deserve to sit on the Iron Throne at all.
Actually I would like to see Littlefinger make it to the end, hes always been extremely adaptable and rarely puts himself in too vulnerable a position. He's still a useful ally, maybe even to Bran if a bit of blackmail is applied. Would be nice to see not all the 'evil' characters get their comeuppance.
Yep, my current assumption is that Sansa will be the leader of Westeros at the end

I am sincerely rooting that Dany bites it by the end of the series, her being on the iron throne would honestly be an anti-climax considering all the problems she has in both the books and the show.
Before this episode, I think Jon Snow had the highest kill count in the series.
After this episode, I think Drogon has firmly taken the lead for the remainder of the show. He got one or two in Astapor, about 20-30 in the fighting pit in Mereen, an unknown amount in the second Siege of Mereen, but surely just killed a thousand or so Lannisters.

100%. It would be a massive bummer if she doesn't get killed off to be perfectly honest.

You make a good point. Can definitely see that.
The more I think about it though, the more I think it's being telegraphed to us.
- Dagger is for killing. It got a lot of screen time this episode. It's going to kill someone
- It found it's way into the hands of a capable killer who just happens to have LF on her list
Of course, this is GoT and that could be a complete red herring, but I'm gonna put my bets on LF biting it via that dagger by Arya. If not then I dunno why they've bothered to bring it in at all, especially when Bran was completely nonplussed by it. He was like "huh? I don't want this thing. Here sis, you take it"

Would an ice dragon shoot Ice Beams, blue fire, or just regular fire?
I just realized that when Dany says "Isn't their survival more important than your pride?" in the cave, it is literally the exact same line Jon says to Mance Rayder.
BUT HOW DID DANY KNOW IS SHE A WARG IS SHE BRAN STAY TUNED

Your problem was posting in the show-watcher only discussion
I agree with you though, and it might just be me but Emilia Clarke's acting only makes Dany's leadership flaws even more glaring.
There's this line in the books Dany often uses, in ADWD particularly: "I am but a young girl and know little of the ways of war" She uses this often (and its many variations) and its supposed to come off as Dany being clever and appealing to the authorities around her, but by the end this line describes her character quite well: she is a young girl and really does know little in the ways of war/leadership/whatever. She's in way over her head.
EDIT: Also this Dany dogpiling is great, with my show-watcher friends and the mainstream masses that watch the show, they simply cannot understand why I don't flagellate myself at the alter of Kelly C.

Fun episode, but anytime they stage a battle there's bits and pieces that just irk me. Like Dany just making a small opening during her initial run. She could've turned and just burned up an entire flank. (Yeah, yeah, she does it later on...)
Cold open for next episode will be a young Dany at the House of Black and White. She was Mance the entire time!

It's obviously Cersei though. Unless you wanna attribute her kill count to the candle.
Yep, I eagerly await the day for her to either die, or realize that Jon has a better claim than her and still go on about how she deserves the throne because reasons. The saltiness in the show only thread will be a sight to behold.

Well, on Dany's leadership skills, in the preview
I think Varys and Tyrion are concerned about that too

Nah in the books his hand is burnt killing the wight that attacks jeor at castle black, so unless he's immune only to dragon fire...
