Ok, thanks. That makes sense. The scale may have been off though. Almond’s dragon was absolutely massive in the fight scene. It’s head was bigger than Arrax, as pointedly shown.

I didn’t understand what Daemon was doing in the dragon pit calling forward the dragon that was down there. Did he not previously have his own dragon and was this just showing him getting ready for season 2? Seemed like wasted minutes but maybe I just missed the point.

Thanks for all the in depth commentary on GOT. It certainly augments the experience. Random thoughts: I’ll reiterate my point about S1-6 and S7-8. The latter seasons lacked the detail of the former, almost certainly because D&D were multitasking producing the show while also trying to write...

I LOVED the finale. The tribal where everyone played an idol was excellent. No, Chris didn’t deserve to win but Devins blew it. Chris should’ve been voted off at the first chance, but Devins kept him in the game. I know why he did it, but it was a mistake to let a player stay in the game who had...

But that’s the whole difference. I don’t speak for everyone, but I feel all of the fans complaining about Dany’s “turn” would’ve been ok with her rage overwhelming her and causing her to attack the city and the armies. They would have been ok with women and children dying as collateral damage...

Count me among the fans who didn’t buy Dany’s burning King’s Landing as being consistent with her character. For years, she has committed violence for innocents NOT to innocents. It was just too quick a turn for me. That said, there is some evidence that it was premeditated. Before the battle...

Random question- I’ve seen some posts mentioning what Bran should ‘already know.’ (Sorry, it’s a long thread so I haven’t gone back to quite the posts directly.) Do people think he can see the future? Is there evidence of that? I thought he could only see the past. All the past. And that while...

I’ve been one of the fans griping about the post-book scripts. Mostly, I’ve felt they were rushed. Full of good visuals, action and some powerful scenes, but lacking the complexity of the earlier, book based seasons. A better word has dawned on me during this season. Detail. The post-book...

To the posts asking about Cersei’s strategic plans, she thought the scorpions and Euron would take out Drogon. She had the Golden Company to take on the Unsullied and Dothraki at the gate, but once Drogon wiped out the scorpions, he hit the Golden Company from the rear, leaving the Unsullied...

Someone else posted that we already know Jon is not flame proof. He burned his hand in season 1 when he picked up the hot lamp to protect Lord Commander Mormont from the wight. If he was distracting Viserion so that Arya could get past, this still doesn’t explain why he stood there just before...

I agree that the interpretation of the scene works a lot better if Jon is trying to get past Viserion and to the godswood. To add to its credence, our heroes’ plan all along was to draw out the Night King and lure him to Bran. Just the fact that Viserion was there and on the ground could’ve...

I watched it again, this time on an LED flat screen instead of my projector. It was easier to follow, both because it looked a little brighter and because I knew what to expect the second time through. I didn’t like it any better. They’ve done a much better job on other battles. My suggestions...

Arya’s finishing move with the dagger on the Night King was the same move she used on Brienne, when they first sparred at Winterfell while Sansa and Littlefinger looked on. I thought that was a great call back. At the time I watched, I also loved the Lady Mormont slaying of the giant. Looking...

Lol. That’s so cute that you think he’s actually going to write the books. :)

I watched it and liked it. I didn’t start this series until a couple of months ago and hadn’t been on the forum in years. Sounds like the series didn’t deliver for those of you watching all along. As a binge watch, I have to say it was pretty good.

Right, but since Cersei beat Ned (with Littlefinger’s help) nobody cared. Joffrey was king and then Tommen because they followed primogeniture. Without ancestry.com mistakes were made. :)

It’s been clear from the beginning that GRRM was creating a world that is different from ours. The story is intentionally shocking specifically because it is so different from ours. We’ve known since episode 1 or 2 that “the Targaryens often wed brother and sister” and they ruled for a long...

Was the last time we saw Ghost around the time of the Battle of the Bastards? He should still be in the North somewhere and close to Winterfell. Expecting Ghost and Nymeria to be involved in the battle with the white walkers and army of the dead.

Add - it’s the same reason why after Robert Baratheon was killed by the boar, Joffrey became king and not Stannis.

I think the easy answer is primogeniture. The first heir is the oldest son and you skip past siblings unless there is no oldest son. Here’s the longer history if you care: When Jamie Lannister killed the mad king Aerys Targaryen, the heir was his son, Rhaegar. Robert Baratheon killed Rhaegar...

Ahem... Howland Reed was with Ned when they fought Arthur Dayne at the Tower of Joy and found Lyanna after giving birth to Jon Snow. Howland Reed has been away in Greywater Watch since then and nobody’s seen him. But all of the northern lords have been summoned to Winterfell. They didn’t show...

I don't know that the issue of whether just dying at the wall turns you into a wight has been answered. In the first season, I would have said yes, because the ranger brought back inside Castle Black after dead turned into the wight that attacked Jorah Mormont, to be saved by Ghost and Jon Snow...

I'm behind on my forum posts since Tapatalk doesn't work for me anymore but the discussion here is great. I'll just add that this is a battle where some of my favorites were on opposite sides (Bronn/Jaime v. Daenerys, Drogon and the Dothraki). I guess the only other time I felt this way was Jon...

Yes, he burned his hand when he saved Lord Commander Mormont from the wight by picking up a gas lamp and throwing it.

Arya has already acknowledged they are not enemies. She and the Hound spent a lot of time together and you could see her changing her mind about him as he helped her kill Lannisters and tried to get her back to her family, even if it was to ransom her. She struggled with the idea of someone who...

How does nobody recognize that Bernard looks like Arnold and is therefore likely a host?

I love that Jessica's immediate reaction was "if I just switched my vote I'd still be there." Just fantastic the way she owned the responsibility for getting voted off despite how emotionally rocked she was. This tribal will make it much more likely we don't see it happen again in future seasons.

Unlike the other hosts, Bernard knows there are hosts and humans. He just doesn't know he's a host so he thinks more independently until Ford whispers the magic words. Bernard's actions are easier to explain when you consider he's not on as strict a script as the other hosts.

I don't know if anyone is still watching but figured I'd give the thread a bump. It's been a pretty good season though they've voted out my favorite contestant for both her commentary and awesomeness in challenges (Michaela) plus all the eye candy. The shifting alliances and blindsides have been...

Something that struck me that I don't think has been mentioned yet is that Negan is also extremely effective as a fighter. While appearing calm and in control he moved with catlike quickness in the RV when he first dared Rick to take the axe. He also was able to use the rifle in full auto and...
