People who don't have anything better to do with lives.

Agreed.
I hate HAAAATE Disney's SW 7&8 episodes.

if HBO wanted 10 episodes or even more seasons they could have easily replaced the show runners

if arya is smart she will have gotten the dead missandai's face to wear later as she murders grey worm and then dani

LurkerDan

Of course it's magical, if one can just put a dead person's face on and suddenly animate them, talk like them, etc, why is it hard to believe that one can change size to match the face?

Aunt, not sister. As for your "Battle of the Bastards" comment,

Dany didn't know she was immune to fire until the point we saw. How could one grow up and not know that? Maybe she developed that immunity at some point? Seems like a plot point that they could explain with some random piece of info from Sam, if Jon is immune.

It already needs renaming since Roose Bolten was legitimized well before that Battle. Just insert former in brackets before Bastards and call it a day

Just get Bran to find out where they are. Warg out and scan the events of the battle...then get the dragon to excavate the rubble on the spot.. and give the bodies a proper burning.

Then have Bran warg the dragon, then eat Dany.

melasnus

True.

Nice idea, although I don't think they would be dumb enough to swallow it.

+1

Not many people would or have tested fire immunity on themselves...right?

Sorry, but that's too much Bran for anyone.

LurkerDan

LurkerDan

Intentionally tested? No, but it's kinda of hard to grow up without accidentally touching fire, no? You've never been burned by a flame?

ScHoLaR oF SMuT

arya in the guise of messandie actuallly does not need to convince grey worm or his queen of ANYTHING...she merely has to fuck them up with messandei's face and surprise-shock-and stab the prickless prick to death in order to gain access to killing his queen dani.
*and make note she is riding BACK to winterfell upon that white steed covered in life blood, dust and ash ALL of which symbolize impending death similar to the white blood and gut splattered horsie depicted in the book of revelations 6:1-2 that the king of the parthians rode when he slaughtered the jews of babylonia..
**if i'm 100% correct and messandei's face comes flying out next sunday i'm treating myself to a husky puppy that i hereby dub thee to be Christened Stinkadonis the Spectacular

Conveniently that leaves out important parts of what she said:

"When my dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and destroy those who have wronged me." and "Turn us away and we will burn you first."

She is talking about destroying enemies. The people of King's Landing hadn't wronged her. They surrendered instead of turning her away. They opened the gates and rang the bells.

Nefarious

I think they made a mistake in Jon and Dany not finding out his identity in S7. The downtime in between S7 and S8, knowing that she was against it being shared info would have better set up she gon' go cray.

But in Dany's crazy head, they still took up arms against her (well, the soldiers) and they didn't welcome her with open arms like she wanted.

I just don't see how you can have Arya kill both the Night King and Dany. Like Jon's gotta do something in the finale.

Didn't get around to watching this episode until tonight. I thought it was great - intense and bleak. I didn't want Dany to turn "mad queen" but I wasn't surprised that she did. It's hard for me to imagine Jon Snow ending up on the throne. Sure, he's honorable but man is he dumb. He would make terrible decisions as the leader of Westeros.

One thing I'm curious about - what did Tyrion ask Davos to smuggle? At first I thought it was Cersei and Jamie, but I don't think that was it. Any other theories?

fujishig

No, it was definitely Cersei and Jamie, or at least providing the boat for them. Now why he would do that favor for Tyrion and risk his own head, who knows?

GatorDeb

Ramsay Bolton.

General Zod

It was just the boat. And he wasn't really risking much. The hand of the queen asked him to do something. He could easily say he was just doing as ordered.

melasnus

Agreed, he's pathetic.
Intelligence was never Jon's greatest attribute.
OTOH, as real life has shown us recently, being smart isn't always necessary to becoming Top Dog.

As far as the Iron Throne goes, there are only a few of the big characters left now.
It's a process of elimination...

melasnus

Fire...I try to avoid.
Do you really believe in a magical land, with magical people and magical beasts being flame retardant is out of the question?

For some reason, I'm doubting the writers were thinking about the Book of Revelations while scribbling this episode down...
OK.

Here's a visual (warning, large):



At least one error in that, however. The "?" over Selyse Baratheon's face should also be an "X". She hung herself.

It's equally sad. We are talking about adults getting this worked up over god damn fiction.
