Immediately, how did anyone even know what went down? The dragon took her and flew off.

Thought episode was solid and finished with a tight bow. If we're honest, the mad queen was always a possiblity. What choice did Snow have? None....

How did they even know Jon killed her?

Yet another important scenario we have to come up with in our own minds because the season was so rushed.

They knew he killed her. That’s why they jailed him.

To all ones who still don’t understand. They took custody of him because they probably found out not too long after that he killed her. They could’ve killed him as soon as they found out.

#3. Assuming the Unsullied were going to carry out Dany's wishes, how long does Westeros really have to worry about the threat of the Unsullied coming back? I mean, wars tend to thin out their numbers and they were a force of slaves trained to fight. So unless they start managing to recruit people, they won't be fighting for too much longer. 


Theyll have no children, so unless they kidnap them..

#4. So I'm guessing Aegon/Jon pulled a Mance Rayder (assuming he even rejoined the Night's Watch - which wasn't shown)? Otherwise, he just peaced out because . . . he felt bad?



As I said earlier, when he took a moment to watch the door close, I think it represented shutting the door behind him and starting new.

A couple of episodes back, Jon said that he wished he was going with the free folk. And I’m guessing they lied about his punishment since they knew he would have to pass by the wall anyways. They gave him what he wanted.

#1. I guess the Dothraki are also leaving? Especially considering they are a nomadic bunch that either ravage towns or force them to give them their goods.

Like I said in the thread asking what happened to them: In my head cannon, they set up shop in the more wild and abandoned parts of Westeros and start up their old raiding and plundering ways again.

How? Did someone see it happen? There wasn’t a body.

Not a few hours before, the Unsullied were killing surrendered soldiers. Jon kills Dany, who is essentially their savior and Queen, and he's just taken prisoner?



Holy fast travel complaints D&D! That's a dragon sized plot hole there.

They didn't know. Bad writing part.

They didn’t find out he killed her at that very second but they found out probably not too long after. That’s why he was jailed and why Greyworm wanted him punished.

They had time to show Jaime try to use his club to unbutton his shirt for 6 minutes but not Jon’s capture

This. Remember, slavery was the status quo on Essos. They wanted to fight against it.

That means that they are likely rebels (especially when you see what happens in the books when Dany leaves places) and will face an uphill battle and won't necessarily get tons of recruits.

That means to replace themselves, do they become what they fight against (for the GREATER GOOD?!)?

Again, notice we're discussing this issue while the SHOW did jack shite with it; didn't even mention anything about it or show their future ambitions.

Just finished it . . . what the frack did I just watch?

I can’t really add anything that hasn’t already been said here, except this show was once in a league with Breaking Bad as a GOAT. But now? I’ve never seen a show tear down so haphazardly so much of what it built up from day 1.

My guess is that would have been an incredibly powerful scene in the show.

But nope. Let’s skip that. - D&D
