I wonder if they oppose her decision to meet Jaime in open battle? If so, why? She didn't burn the Red Keep and the people that are there.
Saw this on reddit but (trailer spoilers)
The Dragon that Dany is riding when it approaches Jon, is actually Rhaegal, not Drogon, and Jon's father is Rhaegar, yeah he's definitely gonna take to Jon and Jon will end up riding him against the Others.

Yea pretty sure you're right but we did get another fire immune dany scene so with the show who the hell knows
or maybe they could be talking about Cersei but in the preview they make it seem like it's about Dany?

Then why is
Dany riding on top of him? You sure that's not Drogon? It doesn't make any sense for Dany to be on Rhaegal. When did she jump on him, and what for?
Look at how small he is compared to Drogon, guessing she is riding him instead due to Drogon's injury

I'm going to blame that on
unfinished CGI when the trailer was made. 
Besides, he doesn't look that small to me. I think it's Drogon.

man even Jon forgot that he has a giant doggo

Littlefinger isn't on her list that I recall either.
She has little reason to want to kill him right this instant, but I'm sure he'll do something and die by her hand.

Someone probably already noticed this earlier in the season but did they change actors of Randyll's son/Sam's Brother? Dude looks waaaay older than whoever they had last season. I just find it odd how many recasts this show still gets this far into the game. Only other thing I can think of is the original actor couldn't make it for this season. Plus this dude looks a good amount older than Sam even though he's the younger brother.
Also the last 15-20 mins of this episode were pretty amazing, some incredible shots and holy hell was Drogons entrance so hype.

Jon and Davos totally drew all those dumb cave drawings
"...and why did you come to Westeros exactly?"
It's an utter nonsense parallel, lol. Jon was playing devil's advocate because he really didn't want Mance to be burned alive by Stannis, not for his own sake. Jon understood the Free Folk's values by that point. Now as king himself, Jon has a responsibility to his people as their chosen representative much like Mance did, but Dany's the one putting her own pride before the survival of "her" people, as she claims to be the rightful ruler of all of Westeros yet still somehow cares more about Jon bending the knee than defending the continent from the newly proven threat of the Night's King.

Hmm. I thought he was. I guess I was wrong on that one!
I had to look it up before it came up actually because it seemed like they were referencing it when she wouldn't say who was on the list. Also thought the brandishing in front of him was foreshadowing.

And try to cross
Moat Cailin? Not a good plan.
Someone is gonna figure out what he did to fuck Ned.
The question is will it be:
- an old raven scroll they never thew away
- Bran talking about random spooky shit
- Tyrion revealing he had no connection to the dagger?
- The Hound, who probably saw it go down?

Man, that's absolutely right. The Dany of a few seasons ago wouldn't have cared about all this bending the knee stuff to gain allies. It would have been enough for her to accept support where she could find it.
"I really want to help you, and I know the fate of us all depends on me helping you, but I'm sorry the Queen Code of Ethics, Scroll Five, paragraph six, clearly states that all new allies must bend the knee. I really wish there was something I could do...."

I just want Littlefinger gone at this point. His character has served its purpose and is now just annoying.
We get it, you would do anything for Cat and need to tell her children as much, just get the fuck on with the betrayal.

I'm just annoyed she apparently believes him now, some cave drawings and that's it? Though I think the better line at the end for her to say instead of bend the knee again would of been "After Cersei is defeated" or something akin to that, she really shouldn't believe Jon about the White Walkers considering what "evidence" he's shown/said.
Fancy name for a fancy lad.

My money is on Bran. He's literally a playback device for everything, someone just has to know what buttons to push.
I'm sad to say that Tyrion has become such a low ranking character late in the game. He was what made the show so good, and now he's a secondary character at best. I'd be thoroughly surprised if he has any significant role to play at all for the remainder of the show.
I'm surprised he gets the top billing in the credits, still, to be honest.

You know if Jon fucked her he's his own uncle and his child is his cousin.

This is something I've been hugely disappointed with this season and last, Tyrion really hasn't amounted to anything. After what Daenerys came back to in Meereen, you'd think she wouldn't really trust Tyrion to be the full brains of the operation. Which sucks because I was hoping last season would of been something akin to Tyrion in season 2, or at least a different take on that. Now this season he is continuing to just be the "Oh yeah this character was important for a lot of the show leading up to this but.......we don't really know what to do with him anymore but he's popular!" At least with Theon you can kind of see some decent conclusion eventually, with Tyrion his character doesn't really seem to have a future to me.

Freddie Stroma was cast on ABC's Time After Time. It is clear he made a terrible, terrible choice.

Totally agree. The only thing that could happen to redeem him at this point would be for him to kill Cersei. Not holding my breath for that one. But to see that happen would be pretty amazing. Tyrion would then be responsible for killing off TWO evil Lannisters.

Well damn lol. Poor dude probably didn't think his character was gonna go anywhere after last season.

I feel like he may be involved in her death but won't actually be the one to do it, could be something akin to her getting the chance to finally kill Tyrion but Jamie stops it. Thus leads to him choosing Tyrion over her. Still, even then that's not much for Tyrion as a character in the grand scheme of things considering what he has done in the beginning 4 seasons. Would be more focused on Jamie.

Wait, so why would Dany intercept the Lannister army on the way back from Highgarden? Shouldn't she have saved the Unsullied from being more or less trapped in Casterly Rock? How would she even know that Highgarden was under siege? Let's say somehow she did find out. It's not as though she showed up with just a dragon. Somehow she mobilized an entire horseback Dothraki army all the way from Dragonstone to Highgarden before the Lannister army that was conveniently carrying all of Cersei's war loot was able to make it back to King's Landing? This season has taken some real liberties in character teleportation in service of plot agency.

It's a little depressing to think about when you consider that one of the most miscast actresses (with all respect to Amelia Clarke - she just doesn't convince me as Dany) is a primary focus. Dinklage has always carried his part super well, but they gave me amazing things to do up until season 5.
Also, while I am at it, Cersei is truly evil, but she's more evil when she's surrounded by conflict within her own city. Now that she is fairly unopposed, I find her pretty boring, or maybe wasted is more apt.
The show was a bit more interesting when the game moves were small and very calculated. Now the strokes are broad and there's a lot of blunt force involved, no real strategy or nuance.
Tonights episode was great - but the show is losing a lot of it's previously owned nuances.

Crazy to think how 2 seasons ago we had shots like these.

Can you clarify a bit? That's a little too heavily coded for us old folks who used to know what thirsty meant.
p.s. Ok, I know what you mean, but what scene are you talking about specifically?

Yeah, Dany got her head inflated(Prolly by Tyrion) and because of what happened in Essos(Basically bending knees everywhere).
She's a spoiled brat who needs a spanking.
Next week is Tyrion's episode, assuming Bronn and Jaime don't just slink away in the aftermath, which they shouldn't. There hasn't been room for him yet.
Its especially weird because he was a wife and like, many kids whom in the books at least he fantasizes returning to.
....Which is kinda weird in the show on another level, dudes got a family and never even mentions it, or even contemplates return to.

I think he meant when Davos jokingly asked Jon if he would mind if he switched sides after they were being told over how great Danny is.Can you clarify a bit? That's a little too heavily coded for us old folks who used to know what thirsty meant.
