You gotta wonder why Ned never told Catlyn about Jon's lineage and just ask her to go along with the ruse. Unless she hated Targaryans or something.

Did The Mountain actually die after that duel or was he just mostly dead and fixable?

I think your first estimation of him was correct. The look on his face at the end was one of "oh shit, I just got bested."

Ah, thanks for the info.

I agree with all this except for Jon not being noble. He's noble like Ned, probably to a fault.

He was in the back of the room when they declared Jon King.

Yeah, I don't know if any of these people we like would look right sitting on that thing. Also, the only way real way to get out of the game for good would be to do away with it completely.

By the rules of those houses, it is.

I'm not claiming that she's more qualified, it's just she's an actual Stark and all that stuff means a lot to both of them.

There are Lannister soldiers still, aren't there?

I think he should have, but it's a nice human moment to show him getting swept up by being proclaimed the king, considering his childhood. He's an honorable guy and I think would eventually do the right thing.

Hmm. That's interesting. I could see her trying and the NK just saying "no thanks" and turning her into a wight.

No. Nobody's said it.

I really expected Jon to point out that Sansa should be the Queen of the North being that he wasn't even an actual Stark.

I feel like the remaining players will join against Cersei or maybe it will just be against the White Walkers but I don't see any of them fighting each other for the throne. So if they come together to fight the WW that might be the start of it.

I don't think that would be entirely satisfying.

I wonder if the end of this story is going to be the kids rejecting their parents' failures and putting an end to the Iron Throne completely.

Should the end be the White Walkers win?

Hopefully, Steve.

Hear me out. David Bradley is on GOT. And he's also on The Strain and those vampires have penises in their faces.
