A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

Incest makes the world go around (if Westeros is your world). There are way too many stories (especially if time travel is involved) where the effort to avoid/defeat a prophecy ends up bringing it about instead. Frankly, I can easily see everyone dying and Frosty taking over.

So all they needed to do was just ignore them and not go north of the wall and then they never would have gotten south of the wall. It is only when they got a zombie dragon that they could bring down the wall. Everyone should have said "well, we're not going up there and instead we will just ignore them" and everything would have been fine.

Spoiler:

Cersei turned out to be the traitorous ***** we all love. I was already surprised that she agreed to Fight alongside Daenerys so quickly.
But "fortunately" it was just another scheme.
And obviously Jaime now has left her service .. I wonder if, in season 8, he will join Daenerys/Jons troops

The lady of Winterfell and her executioner
Last timte that Baelish made a mistake ... by underestimating the strength of the family bonds between Neds children


And finally, Jon and Dany have shared their bed ... and soon Jon will discover that he is Aegon and that he and Daenerys uphold the great Targaryen tradition of relatives sleeping together.
All hail Aegon and Daenerys Targaryen, the royal couple

The Ice dragon destroying the wall
So, Daenerys was instrumental to the estruction of the lands southern of the wall by delivering the tool for the destruction of the wall to the white walkers

My only comment is:

Spoiler:

Tormund, when the wall fell

Hypersonic dragons make it from Dragonstone to *edited-out-for spoilerism* in no time

I really like both Sansa and Arya, and don't want to see one of them getting killed as result of Baelish's intrigues. Otoh the conflict between the sisters brings a new dynamic into it all. The conventional outcome would be that they get aware of Littlefinger's game soon enough to take him out, and reunite in peace and happiness.

The more shocking thing would be if one of the sisters would have to die before they get him. If they take that route it's hard to imagine that Arya would get killed with her abilities, but you never know...

Agree about the Starkettes. (And I don't know if we need spoilers after the episode has been broadcast world-wide, just to stop a certain poster's enthusiasm for referring to future episodes, perhaps)

Arya's superpowers are too interesting to get snuffed out now, and it would be a shame for them to be used against her sister.

[Demonbinder]

I totally agree, BeBro. And also agree with RAH about Daenerys' outfit. Well suited for what she had to do (and yes, I meant the pun).

[BeBMan]

Yeah, that was ridiculous. Skipping over time that doesn't matter is one thing; pretending time doesn't exist during a time-sensitive crisis is quite another.

Jon Snow would look silly wearing a stocking cap.

Hair is not a substitute. The same goes for Dany. But her outfit was kickass.

[Dry]

I couldn't agree more. It's right up there with men refusing to wear hats when they were born in the north and should know better and then complaining about freezing. .

Real men refuse to wear hats, they stand up and certainly don't huddle up.

Hats is for red shirts.

[Proteus_MST]

I agree ... timing this season is very strange.

Spoiler:

Nevertheless ... a few very funny dialogues this episode
And a nice battle between Dany an he WWs (and their undead).

And now the WWs have their Ice Dragon.
Guess at least the Night King is like the Nazgûl now ... after their upgrade of riding beasts

Those must be some awfully fast ravens.

Winter is Trumping!

Don't read Dauphin's post if you don't want the next episode spoiled bigly.
