So here's my random end-game prediction: Bronn goes on about wanting a loving castle, and in his introduction mentioned he's been north of the wall. I think the ironic end for Bronn would be for him to inherit 7 castles.... the castles on the wall. I really do think him having been north will play in soon though. Given his reaction to Dragons, I bet he saw some White Walker poo poo and bailed on the night's watch or something years ago. Mister Perky posted:The wight they capture as proof will be Jorah, who volunteers to be it when he's mortally wounded That's a pretty good guess. Somebody's dying soon.

Also has it been said that Dany is The Worst™ now? I mean we all saw the show trying to give her a heel turn but this is really not working for me. She's just becoming increasingly stuck up and borderline crazy kinda out of nowhere. Just when she starts to look a bit more human in one scene she starts demanding 'Bend the knee!!' a second later.

It's made in Microsoft Publisher and I don't have that program so I begin panicing, trying to find this program or a way to print the file. Scouring the internet yields no results and I do my usual pacing in my room.

Oh and speaking of the pacing this season, how did the meeting between Bronn and Tyrion get arranged so suddenly? Presumably a lot happened offscreen. Cersei somehow was informed of it but we weren't. How would he just find Bronn? It would not have been part of the smuggling plan, as Davos didn't know Bronn and was busy in fleabottom anyway.

He probably just checked out Bronn's favorite watering holes or brothels.

Guys, I think Jon might be a Targaryen. But seriously, I really enjoyed this episode. The show is so fast paced now, and I have other reservations, but I'm just grateful to be getting some sort of conclusion to this story. The past few weeks, I've read and watched more about the fan theories, and felt genuine joy and wonder about them than I have in years. It's kind of amazing to think that events I've wondered about for so long--the Stark sisters reuniting, the Lannister brothers reuniting--are happening. I wish we had more episodes, but even if we did, and they were perfect, they would still never be perfect. Business ventures of this size have so many spinning plates, it's impossible to be flawless. One boneheaded move I do want to mention: It's odd that those on Dragonstone had Tyrion go to King's Landing but nobody mentioned Yara or the Dorne women. Theon was just there asking about getting her back. At the very least, a quick comment to Tyrion about keeping an eye out for any information on them. I also LOL'd because while I was wondering about how the great smuggler Davos would get Tyrion into KL, the next scene had them strolling on the beach. If this show were it's former self, there would've been a scene with Davos revealing a crate to Tyrion, who would then make a quip, and who'd then be bouncing around and complaining as he's carried around KL in it. I was surprised to see no posts mentioning a certain Arya and Littlefinger scene. The one from S2, with Tywin. There Littlefinger offers his service to Tywin, boasting about the future they can build after the deaths of Robb Stark and others. He also talks about how the chaos of Westeros is an opportunity. The current Winterfell drama with Littlefinger is a bit underwhelming because all that's needed is a scene from Arya or Bran to officially denounce him. I hope the others are right and that Sansa is amidst a move to dispose of him for the betterment of House Stark. I made myself so loving depressed when it occurred to me what could happen beyond the Wall. That the Hound could die, be the wight presented to Cersei, and end up battling the Mountain. As awesome as undead Cleganebowl would be, I'm hoping the Hound is merely a part of the escort mission, he could still destroy his undead brother then. To House Lannister, he's a criminal with a large bounty on his head, but maybe the stakes give him the spirit to appear. Not that he's afraid, but he has little to gain and his life to lose, so it's a big statement for the Hound to willing come before the Queen, it underscores how dire the situation is. I'm worried about Jorah. His farewell scenes with Dany and Tyrion had that tone. You know what I mean. It reminded me of Hardhome, when Karsi was telling her children she'll be right behind them. I've always liked him. "We can't live on berries and roots!" "I can." HBO Now Bullshit: It only worked the day I activated it. I spent the whole week trying to rewatch Episode 4 but it would. not. stop. stuttering. I spent all last week troubleshooting. I think all I have left is to reinstall Windows (which I won't do, it must be on their end). A couple pages back, someone asked if there were others having trouble with it. YES.

I don't like where the Arya-Sansa subplot is going, I can't deal with the Starks fracturing again. Stop warging into ravens and put an end to this, Bran you idiot rightful lord of Winterfell.

She's not wrong if she allows people mercy they will start accepting mercy all of them (though honestly allowing them to take the black would have been a nice offering to her new ally, since the war would create an influx of soldiers going North then) would start considering taking that rather than face a treason death. But if that were a Stark up there swinging a sword it'd be no more or less psychotic.

Oh man, I hadn't even considered that one of the party sent out might get turned, and then they just grab that person as the evidence. That actually makes a lot of sense, but I feel like it's Beric if anybody then. The Lord of Light kept bringing him back just because it was so important that he die at that specific place, come back as undead, and then be carted back to the South to prove undead are real.

I don't understand the complaints about the rushed plots this season. It's 7 episodes. Me, a bad TV watcher, recognized this would be the case when the season was announced. I only expect lousy-to-middling dialogue, questionable sub-plots, and cool blockbuster scenes from here on out. Hopefully my favorite characters don't face much watering-down in light of this. As such, I'm just kickin back, smokin doobs and enjoying the last leg of the ride. It would be nice if s7 and s8 were to have 10 eps each to flesh some things out, but given the show's writing in recent history, that might actually be a worse thing.

I know that Dany's being portrayed as a hero and nothing makes you smarter or cooler on the internet as taking a contrary stance, but don't be so loving lazy and obvious about it you half-rate edgelords. Dany's by far the most merciful commander in the show, crucifixions and all. People who are expecting a medieval dragon queen to start quoting the Geneva conventions and housing/feeding thousands of prisons of war are being willfully obtuse. Toasting two spoiled tyrannical rear end in a top hat lords saved dozens of lives right there and then. Those soldiers will never, ever receive an offer that generous again.

I think that Jorah's treatment didn't fully cure him and he's gung ho about going north because he's trying to die fighting for Dany before symptoms manifest themselves again.

Greyscale relapses are possible, so maybe. I guess the point of the "cure" is to build up Sam in Dany's eyes so Dany can release him from the Night's Watch and make him Warden of the South.

The only point to the greyscale plot was to show that the citadel has knowledge that no-one in the show has encountered before. Also I'm hoping we meet this prince Ragger in the next couple of episodes. Do you think he might know something about Rheagar and Lyana? Rhaegar was married to a donnish woman right?

I just don't understand why they needed to rush so much you've got fifteen episodes, you've got everyone in the cities they need to be in, the table is set. There's no reason to have jon teleporting between cities, or euron's magical fleet, or all this loving fan service.

Holy poo poo, I just had a revelation that I think I know exactly how things are going to go. Jon and Dany are going to bump uglies because nobody's going to actually tell them they're related (Daenerys would probably be fine with it, Jon less so). They go to King's Landing with a captured wight to convince Cersei to help them, but Cersei just goes "hahaha fuckers BURN THEM ALL!", and Jaime kills her because she's gone full Mad Queen (also she tries to burn Dany but that fails because Dany's immune to fire). Dany gets a bit horrified as to what happens and realizes she doesn't want to be like that and tones down her Mad Queen tendencies. So they go up North to fight the undead, and at some point Dany dies. Jon is very sad, but he knows the one thing you do with your dead when fighting the Night King is to burn them, and he attempts to, but Dany is still (even as a corpse) immune to fire. To prevent her from being raised as a Wight he instead decides to stab her with Heartsbane and while doing so the Lord of Light rezzes her and brings her back as Lightbringer. Then she and Jon go nuts defeating the White Walkers, but Jon has to make the heroic sacrifice (either to die, or possibly 'there must always be a Night King'). Dany, now being the rightful heir, heads back south as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, and rules as a humbler, less Mad queen, and one of the last things we find out is she's pregnant with Jon's child. Possibly the last scene we see is dragon eggs on Dragonstone starting to hatch.
