Agree about the boats. They should be tinder. 

The line from Danni “we can live together, I’ve just told you how” was interesting. 

I dont think it’ll end well for her TBH. 

they have laid the groundwork for her to be like her father and become the mad queen

[Uncle Buck]

I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as last weeks. Ghost is going beyond the wall, Rhaegal is dead and Sam/Gilly are naming their child after Jon. I’m pretty sure that’s setting up for him to die.

She has been pretty annoying for at least 3 seasons to be honest. Wouldn't mind it in the slightest.

I can't believe Jon didn't even go to Ghost before he left. All he did was look at him. Poor thing was devastated.

I think it’s going to end up with nobody getting what they want. The people who end up with power will be ones who never wanted or expected it. With the possible exception of Sansa. 

Either Jon.

Varys: "have you even considered the best ruler may be the one who doesnt want it"

or.. after all this could it be bran afterall?

Or at very long odds but wouldnt surprise me if someone random like Gendry or Bronn is left at the end. GRR always hints at how he likes untypical heroes to come from nothing.

I agree, Worst episode of the series for me.

Winterfell rebuilt overnight.

The Bronn story line is ridiculous.

The Dragon dying from a heat seeking ballista fired from the other side of an island, the them missing every shot when shes flying straight at them.

They build us up to revealing Johns identity to his family and the scene cuts away.

A lot of filler, and yet the more important things seem rushed IMO

 

 

Spoiler

bronn has been one of my favourite characters throughout, some great lines. He was always a rogue but somewhat honorable even if it was usually for his own gains. you might argue thats why he spared them but it was ridiculous for him to waltz in like that... surely wouldnt be hard to go after him a short time later and have him executed if it came to it.

agree the pace is well off in this series.

[Sooperstar]

One thing though. There was an army of about 30 outside Kings Landing. Why did Cersei not just take them all out?

[bajthejambo]

I think Dany is hanging on by a thread. All of her followers are dropping like flies. Once Tyrion abandons her cause, she's finished.

The difficulty with that one is there has now been 3 scenes of the R+L=J theory being told. Sam and Bran in season 7 (on top of the original two visions Bran had of the Tower of Joy in s6), Sam and Jon and then Jon and Daenerys this season. The show runners said in one of the behind the episodes there’s a danger of having these scenes repeat themselves. So that’s what they cut Jon/Brans reveal to the Stark girls, Sansa to Tyrion and Tyrion to Varys. For what’s its worth I would have liked

to have seen the Jon reveal to his sisters and their initia reaction. Although Jon at least clapping his direwolf before ditching would have been my preference . Can’t believe CGI issues would have stopped that if they can manage people riding dragons

The writing is so unbelievably obvious, she’s going like her dad, “the mad queen” and she’s gonna die.. I wonder who will have to do it. ? the real king who loves her maybe. 

 

This is series has absolutely ****ed the whole show.. 

[Steve_Jersey_HMFC]

Does Gendry not know his lore very well. Thought KL *******s were called Waters, Rivers are those from the Riverlands

It would be pretty shit if it got to the last episode and she randomly turns mad in an instant.

Is Jaimie now going back to fight for Cersei?

I googled it and apparently because he was never acknowledged as a ******* by robert he was never given the ******* surname of waters. (like Jon was acknowledged by Ned as his ******* son and therefore christened snow for the north)

Now that doesnt expalin how Rivers comes into it but I think it does mean on screen Gendry did get it right. Not a mistake as you might think.

Only ******* of HIGH BORN parents are named in this way. Since he didnt know he was a baratheon til recently he wasnt named as per the usual customs. (http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/*******y#Surnames)

Yes ive seen a couple of debates about it today. That would mean he has no surname and he didn’t get it right. he was neither Waters or Rivers.

Shes been turning mad since the first episode of S8, they have made a really big deal of her snapping and losing the plot, foment out of their way to highlight those scenes. 2 dragons down, Jorah and now missande beheaded, Varys about to turn..

 

its so utterly obvious.

Nah, I think that's what they want you to think but actually when he says he is 'filled with hate' or whatever then that hate is directed towards Cersei now. Maybe.

He’ll kill her.

[Tazio]

I called the mad queen thing a long time ago as did a lot of others. What chance Tyrion ruling the south and Sansa the north as happily estranged spouses?

That's my point. If she suddenly turned mad in the last Ep with no foreshadowing it would be ridiculous. I don't think they are trying to hide her personality shift.

My guess is that we might even get a "burn them, burn them all" as she tries to attack despite Cersei's human shield of common folk

I thought similar with Jon then stepping in/fighting her to stop her killing the innocent.

[Bozi]

I think they will make Dany appear to be going mad, looking to kill John and ensure her claim to the throne but wil either - 

 

Sacrifice herself to save him or

 

Try to turn her dragon on him only for it to kill her instead as it knows he is the rightful king

Chances of more dragons next week? Surely one of them has laid some eggs?

I said this to the missus last night. The pending war/battle could have been ended there are then by easily killing them all (bar Jon).

 

Also agree about the post earlier in the thread about the ballista's on the boats. Once she flew past them she could have turned them to ash from behind.

 

I read at the start of this season that the opening credits can reflect what's currently going on or going to happen. With that in mind I called the dragons death before the episode, when I saw the ballista pointed at a dragon head in the credits.  . Going to skip past the credits from now.

The arrow pointed st the dragons Skull has been part of the credits since episode 1. It harkens back to then Qybern first showed his invention to Cersei.

Ahh. I don’t usually pay attention to the credits until I read that it reflected what was going on. 

 

Last night was just a coincidence then that I paid attention during the episode the dragon bit the dust.

Most of the other main characters have banged at least one family member. Might as well let the dragons get some.

I think they're all male, though some reptiles can reproduce without a partner with parthenogenesis an option if no males are around. Maybe dragons can do it the other way around? Or perhaps more to the point how did she know they were all male?

She's a wee bit of a goer so I'm sure she's ridden all three. At least once.

[Cade]

GoT lore seems to make up how dragons reproduce as it goes too.

 

Some maesters say there are different sexes, some say that they can change sex during their lifetime and others say they are asexual.

 

RR Martin seems not to bother with details.

"Dragons are magic lol" seems to be the best he can come up with.

[1971fozzy]

It’s all about Jamie now for me. It’s going to be a brilliant last 2 episodes

[Maple Leaf]

I thought the most recent episode was disappointing.

 

The Bronn sudden appearance at Winterfell ?  Yeah right.

 

The long range death of the dragon was implausible.  

 

The final scene where Cersei has Dany, Greyworm, Tyrion, and all the surviving Unsullied within range of her giant crossbows and archers ... and lets them go?  Nah.

 

Suddenly Dany looks helpless and, despite her furious expression, it's hard to figure out how she's going to capture a well-defended King's Landing, even when the armies of the North arrive.

[bajthejambo]

Apparently Ghost didn't recieve a proper goodbye from Jon due to CGI complications. A giant picked up Lyanna in the last episode. Make of that what you will?

I doubt it. He is dead.

Was killed when Rickon got captured as his head was used as proof is Rickons identity.

And she already bumped into her last season.
