Also, didn't Tyrion have a similar experience? by that I mean the Dragons DIDN'T kill him and he was able to get close to them and touch them(removing their chains), in the dungeon? So apparently the dragons can figure out who to kill and who to leave alone.

I have to agree with Slop. No one else has ever touch them and im pretty sure survived. So, Jon touching Drogo and Drogo letting him should have been a bigger deal.
I kinda would have like that scene to lasted a bit more with Dany questioning how and why. Besides the "did you take a knife to the heart?" its like blah, that wasnt important neither.

We only know its a big deal because we know his lineage. She's just impressed by his bravery and that he's not automatically recoiling.
As for the comment about blonde hair, isn't that most likely due to the incestuous relationships the Targaryens kept? It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities then that Jon ends up with dark hair when they step outside the traditional family circle to make a baby.

So the great war for the seven kingdoms that the audience thought they were getting is already over (at least for now) and the master plan is to capture a wight and bring it to Cersei in order to convince her to help in some way? In fact, this idea is so compelling that Tyrion smuggles himself into King's Landing on a mission with a high probability of ending in his death to...what, grease the diplomatic skids before they even have a wight? The King of the North leads a small, merry band on this mission himself that conveniently includes the Brotherhood and a handful of nameless Star Trek red shirts who are sure to die.
Yeah, this show continues to be entertaining but this writing is just getting awful.

The Citadel not telling Sam about his father and brother reminded me that Sam doesn't know Jon was killed and resurrected right?

Aside from the speed of people travelling and the passage of time, the spread of information is also weird to me on this show.

Of course folks would have to wonder how he was able to leave the watch after taking the oath, but most would probably assume that the story about him being killed and coming back to life was probably bullshit.

My guess is that instead of successfully taking an undead prisoner to present to Cercei / Dany, they stumble upon Benjen Stark out there and are like "Sweet! This one still has his wits about him and will come with us willingly!"
If I recall, Benjen mentioned something about not being able to pass the wall due to some magical barrier or the like, but obviously if the White Walkers are to be any real threat to the seven kingdoms, that barrier is either already destroyed due to Brans contact with the Night King, or will soon be. Many predict that the wall itself will be destroyed somehow, which would make for one hell of a final scene for the season.

I just realized that Dickon Tarley got recast.
This guy I could see potentially being related to Sam
But this guy?
