I think with Tormund/Sam going north that leaves John to return and become King of the true north uniting wildlings and winter fell.

The hints were a little heavy handed in this episode. He absolutely refuses the Iron Throne.

Yeah like the NK can return like the 3ER or something like that.

So he goes up there to rebuild the wall and make better defenses knowing what they know now about Dragon glass.

Maybe Sam starts a citadel up there and records the history for safe keeping and defense so history doesn’t repeat itself.

also I thought all the Dany and Mad Queen talk was retarded, but they are apparently going in that direction, which is a bit surprising to me and seems a bit rushed

I assume this is the ending that Fat Man gave them and it will (LOL) be fleshed out more in the books

They really did need another season...

Why don’t they use Bran to his potential???

He can sit in on every strategic meeting Cersei has. Why not sit and wait while your army rests and recuperates while Bran learns of all of her plans?? Euron never happens.

literally just posted about that in another thread. Showdors are acting like this has been set up over a long period of time

nope. it all started last episode. 100% of it

i think the issue is Dany is just an awful, awful character and always has been. what else can you do with her?

watching people like Jorah and Tyrion talk about how amazing she is makes me all like

same reason why they don't use the dragons nor Arya to their full potential

same problem all super hero movies have

if you use them to their full potential, there wouldn't be much drama or story

Bran just wants to fly around watching people frick. Dragons are underutilized as well.

The main problem I have with this season is I don't care about any of the people who have died.

Anyone thinking Gendry is making Drogon some dragon armor?

Id argue there’s a little give and take between full potential and completely useless which Bran has been.

Meh. That isn’t true.

Yes. It did start in the last couple of seasons. That is true, but not this last episode.

Did you miss the episode where she roasted Sam’s family alive? And the follow up concern from Tyrion?

If they've written a character that can be used to full potential and ruin the plot, they've written a bad character.

you could stretch it to say they hinted at last season with Dany burning the Tarly's and Tyrion reaction

Tyrion unwavering loyalty doesn't make much sense to me

Why does there need to be a Night’s Watch anymore? the wall is destroyed, there was peace made with the wildings, and the NK and all his Norwegian death metal buddies are dead.

So is winter over or not?

When Jamie left KL, it was snowing. And Tyrion mentions making Cersei wait out the winter. But when Dany gets there, it’s a warm desert?
