    kudos to the show for making the Citadel as awesome as it was in my imagination. there's no doubt going to be important things happening there next season but how much is up in the air and they could have skimped out on making it look so massive and sprawling but they didn't.

    there were a ton of people in and around the Sept that were not religious fanatics, just there to watch the trial.

    How do you think that Jon Targaryen will be received by the houses of the North? It took Lady Mormont (little badass) shaming them to convince them that Ned Stark's blood runs in his veins. Do you think it changes things for them to find out that he's actually got Lyanna Stark's blood and is a Targaryen, since they all fought for Robert?

    when you're discussing how the show ends it's super important to remember the majority of fans haven't read the books and this is still a TV show which means it will likely end much neater and tidier than the books. there's probably going to be plenty of people dead on the show who will be around at the end of ADOS(or would be if that book was ever to be finished). TV audiences don't like complicated endings, it's very unlikely we get one. they also like to see bad guys get their comeuppances almost without exception. maybe you get a Marlo character who gets away with it all but probably not so don't overcomplicate what you think will happen. George would write the end of his series as if things were going to start to rebuild after the big war and there will, of course, always be assholes hungry for power but there's a really good chance D&D tie everything up really neat and tidy so people can think that Dany or Jon or whoever claims the throne at the end is going to start a new era of good in Westeros or some such trope.

    he's just as much a stark as he is targaryen. the north rallied around ned because he was their liege lord. they couldn't care less about the baratheons

    Let's flash forward a little bit -- Dany is bringing 140,000 Dothraki to Westeros. Their lifestyle runs completely counter to a King's (or Queen's) peace. What the hell happens to them after the war's over?

    D&D just confirmed 15 eps left at most, likely just 13. they've said 70-75 hours so maybe a few longer episodes coming and finale is probably 90 minutes or more.

    I wasn't sure exactly, but Daario's comment that he couldn't wait to see them sailing on the poison sea made me think he had to have been talking about the Dothraki at first. don't think the Second Sons have any superstitions like that and I didn't notice any Dothraki on the ships.

    Perhaps I am just being hopeful, but a part of me feels like D&D are holding the final episodes over the head of HBO for more money. Obviously there has to be more spent on CGI once the dragons arrive in Westeros to combine with the White Walkers.

    Any chance they are hanging the threat of less episodes over the head of HBO for more money?

    The Dothraki are going. She was saying that Daario wouldn't see how the Dothraki do on the poison water because he wasn't going. They showed the horses eating on the boats. Those were Dothraki horses.

    I think the Dothraki will largely be meat for the Night King's army; a great war can't be one-sided.

    Count me in for this just from a pure fanboy perspective. An undead Dothraki army just riding through Westeros fucking shit up? Fuck yes.

    Also weird that it appears this series is probably going to end with a marriage between Aunt/Nephew and everyone is going to fist pump about it. Such is Game of Thrones.

    I'm convinced GRRM built this whole thing so everyone would just be cool with incest and he can marry his niece or some shit. I've seen folks who want Jon and Sansa to get together.

    I don't think that's what he meant by "meat for the Night King's army". I thought he meant they'd be cannon fodder against the Night King's army.

    Dany expects that she can keep the Ironborn from continuing to reave and rape as they've done for hundreds of years, of course she thinks she can control the Dothraki in the same way.

    Ultimately, though, it's probably something we never see. If they survive the war and have to "adjust" to Westerosi lifestyles or just sail back across the sea, we'll never see it because the show will be over. Maybe it'll show up in an appendix in the last book or something.

    The dothraki invading westeros never made sense to me especially with Dany leading them. If Drago was leading them, yes they'd rape and pillage and burn shit and raise hell forcing open field combat. Obviously Dany will have plenty of men/armies and siege weapons and giant fucking dragons so no one should come close to opposing her.

    I wonder though, let's say there were 5000 cavalry that rode in and saved Jons ass. How many dothrakis would it take to take down 5000 armored Cavalry on their armored war horses? I know the Huns wiped out pretty m any western force they ever came across but they were some of the best war tacticians in history.

    Dany is overpowered as all hell, and I don't see where the resistance comes in Westeros. The Lannisters are all that really stand in her way... Unless Littlefinger joins up with them.... Even still, they seemingly stand no chance. Maybe the wildfire is their great equalizer..?

    Yeah, there are some bluish sails that have the House Tyrell Sigil as well as some Martell spear through sun sails. Varys must have brought them back with him to Mereen.
