    How is a raven supposed to carry a bunch of carts and horses on its back, smart guy?

    He’s the last Baratheon that we know of, and as such also has a claim to the throne. Like Robert he prefers the hammer as his weapon of choice.

    It lets them know that they’re bringing the materials to carry the important stuff. You don’t send the actual lord when you know damn well the night king and his army are coming. That’s just fucking common sense, you act as if no one could act in his stead

    That's the stuff where they can't make everyone happy, though. If they just brought everyone together and didn't give any moment for all those people seeing each other again, a lot of people would complain about that and how rushed that would feel. I don't think that was fan service.

    Also, in terms of run time, it's the equivalent of 8-9 normal episodes.

    Probably less effective TV if they got there and it was, "Oh, no. Some random guy was killed by the army of the dead and left as a message."

    Don't know how they'll hold them off with Umber off the board.

    She’s calling Tyrion the ignorant, gullible child in this episode. She’s changed by quantum leaps over the 7 seasons.

    Yeah I guess. Thought the dragon riding scene, while cool, was a bit frivolous tbh. Though I did laugh at the look Drogon gave Jon.

    Pacing was a huge problem with Season 7, so I just hope the writers give this show the finish it deserves.

    The two actors had a relationship a long time ago and it ended on really bad terms. Apparently in both of their contracts there’s something about them not being in scenes together, which they’ve never been.

    That’s not the actor that plays Euron but it does look like him. The GoT writers did an episode of Its Always Sunny and the director of Sunny directed 2 episodes of GoT.

    No I ask because that’s been the most common theory on how jon would find out his lineage. In the crypts with Ned’s tomb. So I thought thought you were being sarcastic.

    He doesn’t know everything. One of the Three Eyed Raven’s concerns was that Bran didn’t have time to learn all that was needed.

    I remember that but I guess it’s just hard to keep up with what he knows and doesn’t know. Knows the Night King has the dragon and they’re marching south, didn’t know about the wedding annulment, etc.

    It’s possible that he told Sansa. It crossed my mind when Sansa called Tyrion out for trusting Cersei....camera cut to Bran

    I think he also has to be looking for it and he’s been focusing on the army of the dead.

    No comments yet on how unbelievably stupid Dany having Jon try to ride the dragon was?

    "Hey I know we soon will be facing the greatest army known to man and we have a shaky alliance because none of your bannerman trust me yet....but I'm feeling flirty so will you do this thing that will almost surely kill you and destroy everything before it starts."

    She had no reason to believe Jon was a Targ and in those circumstances would have to assume he was about fall to his death.

    Don't know if it's more on the writers or on the fact that Emilie Clarke has spoke a convincing line of dialogue in seven years but the courtship and dialogue between those two is painful.
