But how will this help her? She would have even less claim to the throne. I know they're reiterating Jon's legitimacy for a reason…I mean, it can't all be just for fanservice…but with the Night King and his army bearing down, and Cersei continuing to rule without any real opposition from any of the 7 Kingdoms' Houses,…

They didn't grow up together to fully let that relationship sink in and gross them out so it'll be FINE. Plus, wasn't Dany's brother grossly handsy with her? A nephew who's a stranger is probably a relief.

I think it's implied they eloped to Dorne. Or, another way to put it, Rhaegar kidnapped her and took her to Dorne to have a secret wedding.

Again, I say, sure beats being flayed to death.

Nooooooo

Actually, I was glad he was there since he was the ONLY one willing to hear Sam out and consider his words enough to send a follow-up to Winterfell. It's obvious the other Maesters would have just dropped Bran's message in the trash without giving it a second thought. Why are these dumbasses respected and considered…

I took it as her trying to see if her baby liked this dude who could one day be their new daddy. If Drogon had chomped down on his hand…well, that would've been the end of any chance of them ever dating.

Yeah, but we still have Melisandre…so if we lose Thoros, she can always pop up again and do basically the same thing…if the Lord of Light felt like making her powers work again.

Thank you for reminding me about that. I was wondering where her strong distrust came from. She seemed genuinely happy to see Sansa again last week so I was a little thrown that she would be suspicious of her all of a sudden. I know they were never close but I figured that after Sansa told her about all the suffering…

I just wish the Jaime and Tyrion reunion lasted a little bit longer. Urgh, things are moving too FAST!! For once I actually found myself thinking, we need more talking and less action!

I'm just glad he's not going beyond the wall with them. Keeping him at Castle Black increases his chance of living…maybe not by a lot, but I'll take anything at this point.

When Cersei mentioned to Jaime about punishing Bronn, my hackles were raised. If she dares to touch even one hair on Bronn's sweaty head, I am going to rip her apart myself.

I loved how obviously important that moment was to her. I also loved that tiny moment where Jorah looked at her worrying about Jon going up to the North. Poor guy could already see that she has a new love interest. Jorah has no luck in love.

I think I'm forgetting something important about Jorah that makes it necessary for him to head the squad. Cuz all I could think of is, dude, Dany needs you more. She has to hold off Cersei until Jon returns and who knows how long he's going to take, or if he's going to succeed at all. Letting one of her best advisors…

It has to been more than a couple of weeks, right, since he was there before the Lannisters marched on Highgarden and the Bank dude mentioned it took Cersei less than a fortnight (2 weeks) to pay back the money. It might be close to a month at this point. But yeah, still too soon for the Northerners to already think…

I think they would actually serve the show well by inserting time lapse title cards between scenes so we have a better idea how long someone has been gone and how long travel takes, etc.

I am so for that! I totally agree, things are moving too fast and as a result we're losing out on the small moments. I mean, I'm surprised Ser Jorah didn't get whiplash from the way he landed back at Dragonstone only to have to ship out again. I wanted a full on convo between him and Dany.

Ghost's a ghost; of course he can't be found. He only appears when he wants to.

Ok, I'm betting that instead of bringing a wight back, they're gonna come back with Benjen instead, who is half wight. I mean, that's why the dude is still alive, right? He has to serve a greater purpose than just saving Bran and Meera. And he's more well-behaved than a regular wight, so they won't have to deal with…

Oh yeah. Nevermind. I forgot about that detail when she wore the face of the Frey serving girl…got thrown off…I guess that person's dead already too.
