Yes, that's my opinion, there's been references to them throughout and I don't think it's a coincidence that the show found a way to incorporate one into the story.
This mostly echoes how I feel. I think I just enjoy pointing out the flaws. I still thoroughly enjoy the show, it just isn't what it once was so I enjoy it in a different way.
So who is Sam going to lend Heartsbane to? I mean surely he isnt going to go into battle with it so Im thinking Jorah also Dany is going to feel horrible when she realizes she excuted the father and brother of the man who saved Jorah
Dany: "I have good news and bad news Lord Tarly." Sam: "Oh I'm not Lord Tarly." Dany: "K, that's the good news..."
I think he keeps the sword. Jorah is a good guess though if he gives it up. Maybe he gives it to Jon after Jon demands Jorah take Longclaw back...
Jorah wont accept Longclaw he clearly wants Danys kids to have it he has fully embraced the friendzone and is now if I cant fuck her atleast her heirs will get my family sword
Doubtful. Jon and Dany look to be sailing to Kings Landing by way of Dragonstone. Hopefully no one dies and we get a reunion next season. At some point the king in the North has to go back North, yes?
Yea it looks like they are meeting somewhere around KL. But Jon could be like "Hey Dany give me a lift home. I need to let the lords know what went down so they don't freak the fuck out when a horde of Dothraki start riding north"
With how fast things have moved this season and the fact that this is an 80 minute episode we could see the meeting in KL wrapped up in the first 15 minutes or so of the episode then Jon could be back in the north before the end of the episode.
Are there any "rules" for the NK reanimating the dead? I may have missed this discussion, but if the NK gets south of the wall, there are a lot of buried bodies, including a lot of characters who have died along the way...
One of the forgotten inspirations of the series is GRRM's antiwar beliefs. He wanted to depict war as ugly, ultimately pointless and lacking in the romanticism that many fantasy writers give it. It's why all the honorable knights Sansa dreams about don't exist. They're all killers and rapists, the Hound tells her. So I think it's really fitting that the White Walkers are going to be invading Westeros and raising those who died in war (think of how many makeshift graveyards there are around the riverlands where a lot of battles just recently took place in Westeros) to fight against the people who killed them.
What if a dead person, who has risen, was killed by someone who later died but has also risen? Will he fight that guy?
I believe in the books it's mentioned that the Starks bury their dead with their iron swords over their tombs to prevent the evil spirits from getting out, I took that to mean to prevent the bodies from re-animating.
Either way, they're sealed in catacombs. Others tend to go for the easy-raising. If you can't get em up out of the dirt, just move on.
What will be interesting for the books is how we would have found out that the NK raised a dragon after all the POV characters left the area. Would almost have to be a Bran vision.
counterpoint: Everything burns. It may not be instakill like the Wights, but they'll burn. (At least I assume) Either way it was just an Anakin Skywalker joke
If they're in the books, I'm guessing it'll be one that's already in the land of always winter. As the WW are approaching Jon or another POV character would just notice it. Who knows, it's irrelevant since the books will never be finished.
