GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

I think they've hinted enough to make a pretty good guess he's the offspring of Robert and Ned's sister, but pre-marriage so Ned took the child and claimed it as his own.

That is pure fan speculation, the show hasn't provided any hints to support that narrative. The only hints we've received that Jon Snow may not be who Ned said he is are that Ned Stark isn't supposed to be that kind of guy, and the Red Witch showed an awful lot amount of interest in him.

It's a smart idea, and very well may be true, but to say that the show has hinted towards that specifically is untrue.

There's an even better fan speculation of who Jon Snow really is. And that one would be far more interesting.

The scene with the burning daughter was really hard to watchand listen to. Damn.

The dragons are impressive no doubt, but since they were almost extinct i guess swords and spears are quite enough to chop them up allright, don't you think.

One more episode and then we get to wait another year. But what happens next? Last season better be epic with fire, zombie, dragon, wolf pokemon. By then the little Starks should be on frozen gandalf and hitgirl level as well. I really wonder how this show will conclude.

The wife, who has been portrayed as a totally whacked out religo-nut who drank the koolaid years ago, lets her hubby sleep with Mel etc etc etc. breaks and cant let he own child die, scream for them and not let her see them- at least try... but no stannis does what really is unthinkable and just stands there- hidden from his daughter. For a moment while she was walking up- I thought she may have known what her father "asked" her to do and she was going to sacrifice herself- then she was like "WTF is this shit!" and the scene was terribad.

Unsullied suck... they should have been like Gladiators vs Romans in Spartacus and just been able to take down 10 v 1 anyday on a casual stroll in Capua - again maybe recently watching Spartacus has ruined it.

I thought the entrance of the dragon was awesome. It like appeared through a plume of its own flame and as far as an entrance goes it was kind of the best you can ask for. Her riding off could have been executed better but when you thought "so how will the scene with dany flying off the dragon go?" and you really analyzed it, you probably thought it might suck or look unconvincing. But they pulled it off, and it looked pretty fucking impressive.

Yeah I thought the CG when Dany was in the air was abysmal. Like Harry Potter 1 quidditch levels of bad.

With everything else being so good I wonder why they gave the "riding off" shot the green light? They have talented people there, and that whole sequence felt fucking awesome, and then she rode off and you just wanted to appreciate Tyrions facial expression in that moment. Again, it could have been done different but I think given how good the rest of it was I can give it a pass.

I was half expecting that one she got on that she could "wield" him better and have the dragon wreck stuff- showing that a wild dragon - esp a younger one is a lot more deadly when there is a dragon rider that is more "tactical" then the dragon is inherently. I think they showed some scenes where the dragon just roasted whomever- I think he took out some unsullied that where fighting some harpys and maybe even some random "masters" that where running around.

But in the books she doesn't really have control at that point in time. If they're following the source somewhat they require the dragon to still be fairly wild.

Either way I have some confidence restored back with the showrunners. I didnt like some of the liberties they took but having Tyrion there to see her fly off on a fucking dragon, that is pretty goddamned amazing.

Man, I don't know why so many people in this thread think Jon is going to get rezzed this season. This shit is totally Jon gets stabbed fade to black.

If he's brought back to life on the show, I don't see it happening this season either. Just the logistics of it, assuming it's Mel who does it. She's going to be with Stannis at Winterfell and I don't see them wrapping that up and then getting her back to Castle Black in one episode.

My burning question now is who does Danny marry now?

Tyrion? Jorah? Surely not Daario?

I'd imagine Lanister/Targaryian would be pretty powerful alliance providing Cersei dies a horrible death next episode. (Highly doubt we are that lucky though). Tyrion technically is the Eldest son who could rule Casterly Rock as Jamie is Kingsguard and Tywin has no say in it any longer.

book spoilerz: she marries Drogon and brings forth a new race of dragon-human hybrids.

Killed at Winterfell and rez'd?

Its going to be a walking flayed Sansa!

Sansa can't become Lady Stoneheart, she has already been Lady Stonehead for the entire show.
