"Go on," said Dany. "How’s it gonna be. We gonna get a little place."

"We’ll have a cow," said Jon. "An’ we’ll have maybe a pig an’ chickens…an’ down the flat we’ll have a …little piece alfalfa—"

"For the dragons," Dany shouted.

"For the dragons," Jon repeated.

"And I get to tend the dragons."

"An’ you get to tend the dragons"

Dany giggled with happiness. "An’ live on the fatta the lan’."

"Yes."

Dany turned her head.

"No, Dany. Look down there acrost the river, like you can almost see the place."

Dany obeyed him. Jon looked down at the gun.

There were crashing footsteps in the brush now. Jon turned and looked toward them.

"Go on, Jon. When we gonna do it?"

"Gonna do it soon."

"Me an’ you."

"You…and me." Ever’body gonna be nice to you. Ain’t gonna be no more trouble. Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from ‘em."

Dany said, "I thought you was mad at me, Jon."

"No," said Jon. "No, Dany. I ain’t mad. I never been mad, an’ I ain’t now. That’s a thing I want ya to know."

The voices came closer now. Jon raised the gun and listened to the voices.

Dany begged, "Le’s do it now. Le’s get that place now."

"Sure, right now. I gotta. We gotta."

And Jon raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Dany's head. The hand shook violently, but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Dany jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand, and she lay without quivering.

Jon shivered and looked at the gun, and then he threw it from him, back up the bank, near the pile of old ashes.

The brush seemed filled with cries and with the sound of running feet. Tyrion's voice shouted, "Jon. Where you at, Jon?"

But Jon sat stiffly on the bank and looked at his right hand that had thrown the gun away. The group burst into the clearing, and Davos was ahead. He saw Dany lying on the sand. "Got him, by God." He went over and looked down at Dany, and then he looked back at Jon. "Right in the back of the head," He said softly.

Tyrion came directly to George and sat down beside him, sat very close to him. "Never you mind," said Tyrion. "A guy got to sometimes."

But Arya was standing over Jon. "How’d you do it?" she asked.

"I just done it," Jon said tiredly.

"Did he have my gun?"

"Yeah. Tha’s how." Jon's voice was almost a whisper. He looked steadily at his right hand that had held the gun.

Tyrion twitched Jon's elbow. "Come on, Jon. Me an’ you’ll go in an’ get a drink."

Jon let himself be helped to his feet. "Yeah, a drink."

Tyrion said, "You hadda, Jon. I swear you hadda. Come on with me." He led Jon into the entrance of the trail and up toward the highway.

Davos and Arya looked after them. And Arya said, "Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin’ them two guys?"

They just have ditched so much of the crust, of what made the show.

WTF

tyrion has been a complete dumb gently caress since he sailed east and joined up with dany

practically everything he has done or advised dany to do has been wrong and bad. some things have been monumentally bad and completely out of character based on his past experiences, like even remotely trusting or showing a shred of sympathy for cersei

just godawful forgetting what you wrote a few years ago levels of terrible. i mean he basically told cersei he wanked off to the sight of her child dying, the child that cersei was convinced he murdered. he also actually killed her father. and now he is trying to plead to the good graces of her, a women who nuked a church full of people (among other heinous poo poo) and whose biggest motivator besides her and her children's self interest has always been killing tyrion. not to mention the entire history of him growing up with her and being treated like a giant piece of by her, being told a million times she wants to loving kill him because she believes he killed her mother. what the gently caress dude

Arya may have survived but she's probably gonna get emphysema or something

Maybe the plot twist will be that the Mountain's form of zombism works like in Return of the Living dead, so everyone who breaths in the ash will become zombies too. And then next time it rains the ash soaks into the soil and all the dead rise as zombies. But not lame rear end ice zombies, unkillable Mountain zombies.

Gotta admit, Qyburn is way better at crafting zombies than the children of the forest.

This show used to teach lessons like the Wire did, including equally pessimistic ones. D&D by themselves now have absolutely nothing of value to teach anybody though, not that they would even try.

McNulty had an arc and subsequent slow unravel of it

Carcetti had a downfall arc

Omar had an arc of realizing he was bad

Carver and Prez had arcs where they learned that their actions matter

Herc's lack of an arc made him a good focus of hate

Like, everybody had arcs in that show

And they still taught the lesson that there are no sides and we're all hosed because the institutions don't work

Don't worry guys, only a handful civilians died in the burning of the city.

All of the dothraki were slaughtered by a tidal wave of zombies, but yet they return for this fight. The defenses of winterfell were slaughtered to the point of only a handful of people still standing, but yet an entire army was still there to charge the city walls. I'm sure next episode will show 999,980 out of the starting one million population of Kings Landing sweeping up the wreckage.

The Dothraki exist in a quantum state. They're both alive and dead at the same time.
