Rewatching the finale, getting everybody together at the Dragon pit made for great television, I still don't think it made sense to the story. They weren't even asking for her help, they were asking Cersei to pull her armies back so they could focus on the Great War because if she didn't, Cersei could "reclaim" parts of the country. So what? If Cersei reclaims those lands Dany can just take them back after they defeat the Night King.

Furthermore, why was Sansa even invited to this meeting. Jon's the King in the North, and he was set to be there. What's the point in inviting the person he left to rule in his absence? To the story, there's no point, seems it was only added to get Brienne there to interact with Jamie for the audience's benefit.

The Hound going back makes no sense either. The Hound wasn't on anyone's mind when they devised the plan to capture a wight because he was locked in a cell unbeknownst to Jon, Tyrion and them. They didn't lose anyone from the Dragonstone crew on the expedition, so who were they expecting to transport the wight back originally? Plus, when you add to that the fact that the Hound is a deserter fugitive with a price on his head who has repeatedly stated how much he hates King's Landing and never wants to go back it truly makes no sense that he'd be the one the one to transport the wight. Seems it was done purely to give us a Hound v Mountain encounter.
Bruh do the characters know they are going to defeat the night king? They all think it's the end of the world. I thought Jons speech was about togetherness. I could be wrong but I think characters mindsets are different hell Dany wanted a truce after the war.. She asked Cersei is the truce only extended to the KOTN. She doesn't want to fight any more. All her people came over to Westeros to fight for her to reclaim the throne. Now she asks them to fight the NK and then asks them to fight Cersei. That's too much blood spillage.


Cersei out here trolling :yeshrug: come to the place where ya pops got his head chopped off. Get to Sansa and weaken her.



Hound ain't from Nawf and there aren't any chickens:francis: with the wight in the box all prices on his head doesn't matter.





Nah they just wanted a scene to talk about A girl.

I loved the episode but that sam/bran scene was low key cheesy.


Bran: "I'm the 3 eyed raven":demonic:


Sam: "That's whats up":ehh:


Bran: "ay you know jon is a b*stard right"?:heh:


Sam: "you aint heard?....his pops and ma dukes were legit":blessed:


Bran: "you lyin. show me the receipts":ohhh:


Sam: "wtf. aint you the 3 eyed raven?:dahell:.....you ARE the receipts you crippled ass bytch boy":camby:





then the way bran went on like "jon isn't a b*stard:merchant:....he's aegon targaryan:merchant:....the rightful heir to the throne:merchant:......he has to know:merchant:.........I was:mjlol:.......maybe it's cause everybody already knew. but that scene was just too over the top and forced to me.

The way I saw that scene was to show us that Bran is still learning to pursue things as the Three Eyed Raven. He didn't think to confirm if Jon was NOT a b*stard. Just weirdly written... they could've had Bran say "How could I have missed that" or something of that sort.

From reading the Reddit leaks it seems like there was an original plan for Tyrion to fall for Dany this season and start a Jon/Dany/Tyrion triangle. Thank GOD they didn't do that because it would've been lame as fukk but the final scene with Tyrion looking on as Jon enters Dany's room was supposed to be the culmination of that arc...

So they obviously scraped the storyline but they KEPT that particular scene. I think the scene within the context of the season is supposed to portray Tyrion's hesitance with their Queen falling in love. Remember, Tyrion urged Dany to leave Daario in Slavers Bay. And he and her had already settled on any potential marriage of hers being political in nature. Jon and Dany wouldn't be political, it would be based off genuine emotion, and emotion is forever the enemy of logic. Tyrion knows that Dany probably wouldn't hesitate to choose Jon's life or well being over the realm, she's already done it once, and it got one of her dragons killed.

Damn breh I have to disagree with nearly your entire 2nd paragraph. How can you say a Jon/Dany marriage wouldn't be political? Even without them knowing his true identity, he is at the very least Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, if not King in the North. A marriage unites that potential schism. Daario was a sell sword from Esos with no nobility tied to him whatsoever. Tyrion told her there would be more powerful unions to be made in Westeros. Honestly, what man has as much power in Westeros? There are only 2 men claiming to be kings currently in Westeros: Euron and Jon Snow. There's really no one else left. :yeshrug:

Also, I don't think Dany took an emotional risk by saving Jon. They had a plan. They went to snatch up a wight. If they died she would have lost her northern alliance and would have still had to deal with Cersei in addition to the army of the dead which she didn't even fully believe in at the time. Had she not gone she would have enemies to the north, enemies to the south, oh yeah, and the Night King to deal with. Besides, she thought she was the shyt. She had 3 dragons. She had no clue what she was getting into. :heh:

Just my take.

Ep 7 was called "The Wolf and The Dragon". You see that pic? That's the Night King's army marching and that shot shows them in the form of the Stark Wolf. We also saw him riding the ice dragon for the first time.

Upon seeing the title one would assume it had something to do with Jon and/or Dany. But after watching we see both the wold and the dragon are referring to the Night King who every day I believe more and more is
Bran Stark
