yeah i think you hit the nail on the head. i think Cersei gets betrayed by both

i think her men turn on her and steal for the Iron Bank and Euron does some show-Euron stuff

i still don't know how the frick this all takes 3 episodes, though

No idea. They seemed to play it like dragon died off-screen but there was nothing really definitive.

If you think Jon, Dany, 2 dragons, and whatever's left of the North can just march to the King's Landing gates and simply take over the Iron Throne, I got nothing else for ya.

We're talking about a hypothetical magic world where dead people, dragons, and faceless men exist.

this is such a cop out

early on there was some magic, but the show was grounded in reality. the most unrealistic stuff was the ravens

mechanized ballista turrets on ships would be INSANE

But remember, Balerion was one of three full-grown dragons at his disposal, and bigger than Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion Voltroned together.




I mean I could be wrong but i've never heard this and Drogon is massive. I cant see that being true.

The Daario on the right side was the worst casting of the entire series. There could not be a more lame person to play that role. It was painful to watch him try and be cool. Such a horrible actor.

Balerion lived for over a century and was supposed to black out the sun.

There's only 3 possible outcomes, everyone lives happily every after, united as the Seven Kingdoms, under a new King. New King delegates out the Seven Kingdoms. Cersei continues to rule with her inbred kiddos.

Are you not aware that pigeons were used to carry messages as recently as WW1?

 Melisandre told us that she would die


I'd been waiting to see how they would incorporate her into this battle. She got a proper sendoff IMHO and let's not forget, she also told Varys he too would die in Westeros....the question is,how?

Also, Melisandre went back to Volantis upon leaving Dragonstone. Surely she would tell the other red priestess and believers in the lord of light what her mission is and where she is headed...I'd imagine they'd continue to spread the word and drum up support for Dany like they were when Tyrion and Varys were in charge there and find a way to assemble troops to come help Dany and Jon as they travel to King's Landing.

RIP to you and your beautiful rack Melisandre, you'll surely be missed

Balerion was 70m according to wiki. Drogon was 50m as of season 7. The show runners said Drogon and others increased in size from 7 to 8.

So you can say within reason Drogon is approaching his dad (My theory on that).

Agreed. Bran was an important part of killing the NK. Now it is time for the other characters to take charge of the story.

Bran is the 3-eyed Raven. His destiny is to sit in Winterfell doing 3ER shite.
