Had zero problem with Arya killing the NK. It could've been set up better, perhaps disguising her as a wighted Lyanna since that's her creepiest skill. Maybe it will be explained more.

The scenes were hard to follow at times due to the lack of lighting. The Dothraki army going down could've been one of the eeriest, bone-chilling scenes ever. They tried to do that with the flames going out, but it didn't quite get there IMO.

So thats the most unrealistic thing in the show? Is that pigeons used to carry messages in wars didnt fly as far as the ravens in the show. Wow

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.


We predicting a Second Sons return to help fight the Golden Company?

And she blatantly restated that prediction in the episode.
this is like believing Nostradamus. She had killed people with brown eyes, blue eyes and green eyes before getting to the night king. so......


That foreshadowing was for he to become a faceless man. The douche D's just used it as well for the NK death.

Sansa is going to have something to say about Dany taking the throne. Especially if she hears Jon is the true heir


Who gives a shite? What can Sansa do about it? Other than persuading Arya to go stab both of them.

I thought one of the most impactful scenes was Tyrion and Sansa's moment where they decide to just go out fighting.

Not really but thanks for playing



If that was the most unrealistic thing you got out of the show until the last 3 seasons, I really don’t know what to tell you

Sansa hated not having control last night. You think she is gonna sit idly by as others duke it out for the throne?

Sansa is the only one who can outsmart Cersei

She cares about The North more than anything else. She still wields a lot of power when deciding its fate.

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).



I assumed he was as big, but I guess not. But the three of them combined would easily be larger.

Cersi isn't stupid. She probably has Kings Landing working on making a shite ton of them for the walls and for Yuron's fleet.


Or she's putting explosives everywhere and leaving and when the other army shows up she just annihilates Kings Landing in a giant explosion.

Don't the Lannisters still owe the Iron Bank a shite ton of $?


Cersei paid them back with the money she took from Highgarden. And then immediately borrowed more to hire the Golden Company.
