Davos going off on Melly was great. We can debate whether Jon's decision was wise, but it is good that there are still some characters with a moral code on the show.

Is that in the TV universe or did his kids all die at Blackwater? I thought that he lost all his sons at Blackwater on TV and Shireen was his surrogate daughter.

If that is where they are going (and that seems to be what is being telegraphed), then there has to be a twist on it. The magic princess with dragons and the magic prince (who was totally hidden to save his life) falling in love, marrying, and saving the world is the wrong universe.

Davos declares for Jon. Apparently Tormund (the Wildlings aren't kneelers) grabs another piece of bread.

What is there to suggest that Jon is a savvy politician? I think that listening to Davos instead of Mel is probably a good idea and something that Stannis should have done, but there isn't enough evidence that he would be a good peacetime ruler. Jon is a very honorable man who will always do what is right for his

She is going full evil Disney queen on us.

I'm not sure about it either given that Jon massively screwed up the battle. I guess this tells us something about the difference between reality and legend. It is the legend they are kneeling before.

Tyrion is just giving Dany good advice on this. He doesn't have anyone in mind. I am interested in Tyrion's reaction to Sansa's fate. We got Brienne and Sansa talking about Arya, so perhaps there will be a conversation between Theon and Tyrion about Sansa in Season 7. I also can't wait for Tyrion's reaction to

Elizabeth I remained unmarried and used the prospect of a marriage alliance to consolidate her power. So there is precedent for that. And the more obvious in universe is King Jon Stark (Targaryen..). Yes, it is fantasy drama 101 but the two could actually not like each other at all, have no chemisty, and agree to a

Yes.. That as well.

Yep. The one actual heroic thing that Jaime has ever done in his life (and which people like Ned Stark and Jon Snow disdain him for) is killing the Mad King and thereby ignoring his vows. So it is between Jaime's sense of morality and honor and the "things he does for love."

Melisandre can create shadow babies and bring people back to life but she also gives lousy advice and misinterprets signs. Davos pointed out that burning Shireen did nothing to help Stannis win. It was pointless. Yes, it did clear the storms but Stannis' army abandoned him because of it and the clear weather

Jon is Rhaegar's son so if R&L were married, he would have the best claim to the Iron Throne.

For the most part yes, but he also has ambitions and what happened played into his ambitions. Jon can probably talk himself into believing that he is doing this solely for the good of the realm (and he mostly is), but he also doesn't mind what happened there.

Perhaps Jon isn't as noble as he was letting on. It is easy for him to assert Sansa's claim when it is only Sansa around, but it is much harder when there are lords kneeling before you and proclaiming you their king from this day to their dying days. Jon is human and he has always had ambitions and conflicts

Cersei has gone completely Mad Queen in my mind. I think that it makes sense.

I love Sam and agree that he is likely to find some information in the Oldtown library that will uncover the plot against the dragons and about the WWs. I also would love a scene where he learns what happened up North with Jon. I suspect that he might be angry at Jon for leaving the NW.

Jon.

True. The believing you are bro and sis is what makes it yucky.

As Varys said, LF would burn down Westros so he could be king of the ashes.
