I saw an interview with Tom Welling that said something to the effect of they asked him to do a limited run and he liked it and asked for more episodes so they upped it or something like that.
I think it is better without a teleporter. The teleporter just ends up being OP and they have to find a way for it not to work at every time something dangerous happens.
It is actually brilliant! He can let someone else try and write him out of his hole and keep the stuff people liked as "i was going to do that anyways" and definitely don't do what people hated lol.
I think the Night King can see similar to the way Bran can. When Bran gets too close he sees him there etc. Could be he foresaw the dragon thing and put everything in motion. They seemed to be ready and waiting for it with the spear etc. Letting the little group just sit there baiting the trap.
I generally see her levels of strength as partially similar to what the one guy said to Luke Cage. "You are pulling your punches." She hasn't really embraced her powers. She uses them reluctantly.
Ya he divorced his wife and remarried lyanna so that makes Jon the rightful King instead of Daeny i'm pretty sure. I have also been thinking since the beginning that Gendry would figure out how to make valeryian steel. Since he is reappearing I think that is more likely. Something like melting...
This was my feeling as well. "I'm not that little kid anymore. My mission is elsewhere. Arya needs to steal Cersei's face and then give the throne up to Daeny lol
