pretty sure the Iron Bank would rather work with the side that has 2 dragons

Why would Jon and Dany pay them?


ETA: and the iron bank has already sided against the side with 2 dragons, which had 3 dragons (as far as they knew) when they did so

I couldn't see shite in the crypts when the Wights were breaking out anyway

So in GOT we have a few expert archer scenes.

1. Archer with Arya, Fat kid, and Gendry. Someone says that they are moving and archer shoots arrow into the sky and then starts a dialogue for about 20 secs with the final being if you dont move the arrow will land on your head. Fat kid moves just missing arrow.

2. Funeral boat. I think Carstark gets upset with his son or something not being able to set the boat on fire,(now really far away) he grabs his bow, shoots it in the air, turns around without watching arrow, and walks away as the arrow perfectly sets the boat on fire.

3. Blackwater explosion. From land Bron ignites explosion with a single arrow of a boat in the middle of all the other boats...in the ocean during rough seas(wind)


I'm sure there are more, but with that accuracy, wouldn't you just use a few WW killing arrowheads with your best archers to kill the NK from distance?

since this show is all about politics now, they're going to need some coin to get the 7 kingdoms going again

basically they have to rebuild the entire country and society

Iron Bank isn’t in Westeros

Nothing in society has changed that warrants more money.

I’m not hung up on the Arya killshot like many of you are, what I am hung up on is the lack of major deaths.

How many times did those dead fookers swamp Brienne, Gay Worm, Tormund, Pod, and Sam? At least 3-4 times you saw them completely swamped, looked like fire ants on them. fricking Sam Tarly survived that initial charge, then proceeds to lay on dead bodies and cry the rest of the episode.

I cannot believe every single person from the fireplace scene lived. After watching that, I thought at least half of them sitting around the fire would get skullfricked by the tidal wave of wights. But not one of them.

Either D&D have gotten chicken shite about killing off fan favorites without GRRM outlining it, or they’ll die against the Golden Company. I tend to think the former though.

Her dragons have been hurt once

On this note, what the frick was she doing last night after the Night King raised the army?

She is flying around burning all the night kings army after they were raised from the dead and she just lands Drogon next to Jon and he yells Bran! And runs off. Then she just awkwardly sat there for like 30 seconds while Drogon got stabbed and overwhelmed. Then she fell off and just stared for a while. She's such an awkward dumbass.

Yeah that was dumb, but I guess they had to use it to get to her on the ground and Jorah coming to her rescue

To be fair we saw none of the Walkers (save for the NK) until the last 10 minutes of the episode when everyone was very busy not getting killed.

For an army? They'll need one now that theirs died fighting the Night King

That they don’t need according to several people in this thread

We’re talking in circles

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned on the show, but the Golden Company hates the Targaryens. They will not serve them.
