The show is going to pull a Dark Souls and the Night King is going to have his zombie giants shoot their dragon slayer great bows at Dany's dragon.

Cousin loving is way too pedestrian for Gurm. Jon will be loving his aunt.

Too bad the genders aren't reversed; it would've been amusing to see the Uncle Fucker song from the south park movie come back into vogue.

The Nymeria scene was in there to set up the scene next season where the Good Guys are about to be stomped by the ice dragon until Nymeria and a few hundred other wolves show up and suicide charge it to death with wolf magic.

it's cheap as gently caress to mess up so bad on some characters that you later try to use them getting wrecked & owned as some sort of catharsis. the sand snakes dying was as lame as them living.

The term is 'blue eyes wight dragon' not ice dragon.

Yea, the spoilers don't make sense for this part.

So we know Viserys is gonna die from the bastila. Why else would they show it? So Viserys dies in King's Landing, yet somehow the Night King is there to turn it into a wight?

The only thing I can think of (and I'm not putting this dumb of an idea past this show) is that the dragon gets mortally wounded, flies North to flee, and dies near the White Walker army...somehow.

I may have blinked and missed it, but was there ever any indication how Euron knew that the targets he aimed to take would be on that boat sailing in that direction, other than he had read the script?

I think also that the spoilers we get about the dragons are more likely to be false because no one can see the CGI being done on set and leak it.

Well he was leaving King's Landing and the Kids were sailing from Dragonstone south to Dorne so they probably just bumped into each other.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
I don't think Cersei will battle Dany this season - anything that happens wrt battles will be skirmishes/battles between lesser forces. They had to show the weapon this soon to offer some credible threat to Dany's nukes.

That was the bullshit we told ourselves about the spoilers that said that Ramsey killed Wun Wun.

I wish the CGI team would talk to some actual sailors so the sailboat scenes don't look like a bunch of motorboats tooling around with weird drapery dangling from poles overhead.

I dunno I feel like the prospect of hitting a dragon with a ballista is rather unlikely. Those things are slow to aim and dragons are fast and move in 3 dimensions.

They are absolutely going to hit a dragon with the ballistia and mortally wound it. This show doesn't have enough writing talent or screen time to be coy or engage in misdirection anymore.

There is literally no logical reason why Dany and her 4 different armies and 3 dragons shouldn't have just stomped all over Cersei in a week, so the plot has to make up a bunch of bullshit to even the odds.

that bolt smashing through a hundreds of years old skull was impressive but it doesnt take into account the hide/scales

i mean they could ask bard about how you gotta aim for a pinhole where theres a scale missing
