It wasn’t Jon’s idea to go beyond the Wall to get a wight. Once people started volunteering of course he’d go along. He’s the only one who’s ever been there and the only one with a Valyrian sword. If he hadn’t gone they’d never ever be able to make it even that far. He actually did the best he could do to save them…

Jon accepting Daenerys as his queen actually makes a lot of sense. He didn’t want to at first because he doesn’t know her and doesn’t know if she’d be good for his people. The fact she was willing to sacrifice even her own safety (besides that of her dragons) to save them proved to him she was the kind of leader that…

No, Yoren grabs her later on. She still sees Sansa start pleading and can hear her screams until after they cut his head off. Rewatch, you’ll see.

Agree with everything, except that IMO Arya was always the more obnoxious of the two.

Nope, she saw that part. Rewatch, you’ll see. The camera pans to Sansa screaming her lungs out when in Sansa’s POV. Only then does Yoren cover her eyes to spare her the sight of her father losing his head.

Well, perhaps the Night King is a Targ ;) (I don’t think that’s so, but just for the sake of it...).

It’s Rhaegal. And (s)he seemed to fly away in distress when his/her sibling was killed.

How do you know whether dragonglass weapons are hard to make? Either way, they did bring them. Jorah was armed with two dragonglass daggers. I think the Hound was also armed with one. Beric, Thoros and Jon obviously didn’t need obsidian, because they have fire/Valyrian steel. They had no dragonglass weapons for the…

Or maybe she’s just unable to see your reality, the same way you’re unable to see hers. Sometimes people need to literally be in sbd else’s shoes.

It gets worse before it gets better :)

Still, I’ve read the script for the whole season that’s been circulating for a while, so I knew exactly what was going to happen and how it’s going to happen and I still watched with my mouth hanging open and completely flabbergasted.

I can’t decide whether I love it or hate it. It’s a bit too fanfictiony but so.very.satisfying. Except the Sansa/Arya interaction; just like last episode that was annoying and painful to watch.

It’s from The World of Ice and Fire - the upraising of the Faith Militant was because of incestuous marriage practices of the reigning families. The upraising was finally stopped by Jaehaerys I & Septon Barth, but we are not told how they managed it. It’s implied that the warring between the Faith and the previous…

I know. I was just surprised they went with annulment and not bigamy. I have a feeling GRRM will go with bigamy, not annulment, but that’s just an impression.

Not because of “a heir and a spare”, though, he was obsessed because of the prophecy. And the prophecy never says they must be from the same wife. Not even that they have to all be legitimate, in fact.

Incest was forbidden, too, according to the Faith, but the Targaryens practiced it all the same.

But we don’t know what the laws are, in-universe. We don’t know what “technically” is, in Westeros. I just wanted to say that an annulment does not automatically mean the children are legitimate - it might or it might not. There is no reason to presume that in Westeros annulment makes children illegitimate. We have to…

Yes, but why an annulment?! Why didn’t he just take another wife in addition to Elia?

I know - I just meant an annulment seems an unexpected choice to me. A second marriage to get more children, sure. But why annul the first one? There was precedent for bigamy among the Targaryens after all.

This is pure speculation, but I think GRRM might make Lyanna Rhaegar’s second lawful wife, so no annullment. I’d say they went with an annullment in order to have it more clear cut and not drag Targaryen bigamy into it.
