    That's a wonderful idea, it just doesn't fit with tearing down the wall with a dragon.

    When the Night King was staring at Bran, I thought it would go something like this -

    You brought me here. You lead us to your home, to slaughter the descendants of the Andals. Never before has a Raven betrayed his people. Why would you doom the lands in the South?

    They deserve no better. Let me tell you about the Lannisters and what they did to me...

    The strategy really is John's fault. He was at Hardhome. He saw the dead in action. He should have realized after the battle that anyone without dragon glass or Valyrian steel was doomed.

    And horses? Horses work great against living people because living people don't want to be run over or injured/killed by the horse and it's rider. Against the dead however horses are death traps because the dead just don't give a damn about being injured. They will swarm the horses and once the rider is off the horse that's it for the rider.

    As soon as the Dothraki started their charge I knew they were doomed. Though it looked awesome on TV.

    The strategy to have Bran as bait was fine but everyone should have been in the castle. The whole army. The trench should have been lit before the dead showed up. The dragons should have immediately been used to attack the dead.

    Okay, that's a good theory I guess - but it wasn't shown onscreen. We couldn't tell what Jon yelled, and we didn't see him see Arya. So if that was the intent, it was a moment of poor filmmaking.

    I love how this whole story must look from the perspective of one of the Dothraki horsemen. He started off as a nomad warrior in his tribe. In three years or so, he's gone from following his Khal to following his widowed dragon queen, who has been leading him starving through the dessert, to defending some of the slave-holders' cities of stones, to crossing the ocean, to facing the armies of the undead way up in the north of a completely unknown continent -- where he promptly gets chopped down and dies in the first few minutes of battle. I wonder if he had a moment, just before the others' claws ripped out his heart, to consider at which point exactly it was that his life took a wrong turn?

    Perhaps you're talking about this one:

    I think he's asking himself that question at that very moment.

    The Night King walked out of the dragon fire assault with no damage. Is that supposed to tell us he is/was Targaryen?

    And I wasn't too happy we didn't get to see Arya and Sansa react to what Bran said. :ua:

    Though Sansa already is scheming. Indeed she is not the little bird anymore.

    Euron has magical arrows.

    They are like anti-ship missiles and surface to air missiles at the same time.

    Though he must be wondering about what Tyrion said about the child. How would Tyrion know that?

    Edit: Also has no one ever heard of attacking from behind? I mean come on...... I know it's fantasy but this is really stretching.

    Oh and Euron has stealth tech too. How the hell do they not see him and the fleet until he's shooting the missiles?

    Danery's isn't going to be happy when she finds out Jon told his cousins who he really is.

    She begged him not to say it and you could see the cold rage in her eyes at the end of that conversation.

    I keep hearing that theory, but how could he be a Targaryen? He's been around since the age of the First Men. Were Targaryens even a thing then?

    I forgot to answer that question.

    The Night's King is not a Targaryen.

    He was one of the First Men who arrived in Westeros. He was created when the Children of the Forest put a dragonglass dagger into him. He was created to fight the First Men but he turned on everyone. So men and the Children of the Forest joined together to fight the Night's King.

    Essentially he's magical and can only be killed by having a Valyrian steel weapon stabbed into him.

    In fact if you remember at Hardhome we saw one of his White Walkers walking through flames and the flames were retreating so it seems that fire can't hurt them. (but fire can kill the dead of course)

    The books are slightly different as to the Night's King but in both the book and the show the Targaryen's only showed up in the last few hundred years while the wall and the Night's King legend go back thousands of years.

    I was screaming at the TV for Danerys to swoop around from the back and light those squid motherfuckers up.

    Tyrion and Jon basically fucked up all of Dany's plans.

    Dany should have attacked King's Landing first. Before the Golden Company arrived and before they had a chance to develop more of those dragon killing arrows.

    She would have had three dragons and all her armies.

    If they hadn't gone after that wight the Night King wouldn't have gotten the dragon and he would have stayed behind the Wall. They could have dealt with him after Cersei.

    Or honestly she should have just stayed in Essos and expanded her power there.

    Does anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that Danny's last words will be "Burn them all"?

    I think Jaime broke Brienne's heart to keep her at Winterfell because he's going to kill Cersei.
