That was a rhetorical question but 1) we already know that he gets burned 2) yes, obviously this might be important but they haven't really set up well on the show that all Targaryens might be able to ride dragons—even those who aren't their mothers, which is really what Dany's relationship with them is centered on 3)…

But no one knows that. Show viewers who aren't on reddit all season know very little about who might or might not be able ride dragons or the actual Prince/Azor prophecies or who the hell Rhaegar even was in the first place.

I agree. It's not really clear to show viewers why it really matters. It's kind of a twist without reason at this point. One might argue that all of a sudden it makes him even less legitimate at King of the North.

But why does that matter? What is the logical extension as it relates to known events of the show?

Technically I guess it depends on where you think the episode ended and on whose timeline. But she's effectively dead either way. The Mountain is with Cersei when she is crowned so, yeah, she's either dead or in a state of dying after he finished with her.

Kinda odd how that off-brand Melissandre in Meereen showed up all high and mighty and then wasn't heard from again.

+Unella.

I don't think so but if they do, I vote kraken.

Even though we got plenty of fan service otherwise, it's the only storyline that's the slightest bit lighthearted at this point.

I don't know how the process works but they were equally great. Maybe they can only nominate one episode per director. At least he'll likely win.

I don't think they even submitted it. They did submit last week (same director).

It's amazing that Miguel Sapochnik can direct action sequences as great as last week and then slow burn dramatic sequences as great as this week. The cinematography and music supervision were incredible. This season hasn't been perfect on a number of fronts and anyone can nitpick parts of the writing all they want but…

Those scenes were pure Harry Potter gold. I loved them.

Maybe, but when did Ned's bastard's backstory become that Ned returned with a baby after the war? Bran wasn't alive then and we (the viewers) only know that Ned allegedly fathered a bastard with some unknown woman, not that some unknown woman gave Ned his bastard kid to raise when he was out fighting in the rebellion.

Bran wasn't alive when Ned brought that baby back. Who knows exactly what he knows about the sequence of events.

Kinda bummed that Loras and Margaery didn't manage to make it out. I thought old Loras might have a moment and fight them through. It was such a sad moment for him, especially given the weekend this fell on. He was persecuted for being himself, bowed down to religious zealots out of self-preservation, and then was…

Interesting that so many of us were wondering how Jon would find out about the ToJ reveal but now the question is whether Bran knows exactly. The viewers know due to the jump cut (and the fact that this scene was so built-up) but does Bran know? It seems like he didn't hear what she said so he wouldn't know (yet)…

I'll still take the In This Club version.

I agree in general but the wildfire and burning of the cities to the ground has been spoken of numerous times and explicitly shown in Bran's visions to the point that even casual viewers think something is going to blow up. Compared to R+L=J, for example, which will be a surprise to most viewers if it happens since it…

I've read about this but I'm not sure that it matters for GoT as much as other future productions "like GoT." The UK voted to leave but they won't officially leave the EU for some time. GoT will likely wrap filming for season seven and eight (or 7.5) before they do so. The subsidies aren't an investment in some future…
