I remember reading that Khaleesi was popular for a year or two. Geeks and their baby naming...ugh. Anybody that names their kid after something they they’re a fan of deserves a choke slam.

I'm sure there are a lot of people than named their kids after members of a certain band. 

Right, at least those are real “characters”

“Vedder” makes me cringe.

I’m willing to bet it would make the real EV cringe as well.

I liked this episode, I don't get the haters.

I thought after the night king they'd march down to an easy victory. I liked the surprise of losing a dragon like that, its going to make this battle very difficult. I thought they'd lose 1, or both dragons in this battle, but not before it. And seeing how easily it was taken down I would say Cersi may be at the advantage now with the size of her army compared to whats left of the Northern army.  

yeah and all of those giant anti-dragon weapons lining the castle wall...the preview for next week shows Euron looking to the sky in amazement.  Maybe the got the dragon some armor or something.

Or maybe there's more dragons? Didn't one of the seasons end with a shot of some dragons far away in the ocean somewhere?

Apparently one of the dragons disappeared for awhile back in season 4 and some seem to think that they were off having baby dragons...that sure would turn the tables.

On an extremely selfish note...my wife is due with baby #2 any day now.  Hopefully she has this baby today or tomorrow so I'm back home for the big battle on Sunday night!!  If not, I'll be watching it on my phone at the hospital!

Good luck man!

Yeah, I remember having the maternity nurse find the Rangers game for me during my daughter's birth. I had to waste my tickets to the game because of her selfish act of being born. I wore my jersey to the hospital, hoping she'd get it over with quickly and in time for me to catch a cab to the Garden.

They were chasing a playoff spot. It looked good after that day, then the fucking Bullies finished them off two days later in the second game of the home and home.

She's an amazing hockey player now, so all is forgiven. But we had a few rough years there at the beginning.

Nice.

I had to forgo a trip to MSG with my brother (Rangers honk) to see Rangers/Kings Stanley Cup Finals, which we always promised we would go and see together if both of our teams made it.....wife was on 'baby time' and told me that if I drove up to Manhattan when she could go into labor at any point that she would never forgive me. 

Baby was not born until the 18th, which would have been after even game 7.  (Kings won in Game 5...)

She was 2 weeks late, so I get why she was nervous.  She was in labor for 24 hours before they decided to cut him out, so I would have had plenty of time to leave MSG and get to the hospital, sheesh!

The worst part about them naming their kid Tyrion is that they watch GoT with him in the room.  
He is fucking 2-3 years old.  

There is no improving upon STUPID.  Hope the kid grows up to be smarter than his dumbass parents.

Wow.  I get uncomfortable when I'm watching something with my 2 year old that is even remotely violent at all....how the fuck can you watch GoT with a kid that young???  I wonder how he felt about Missandei's beheading last week.

Everyone is different, I guess, but there is no way to sell this to anyone who has a brain. 

(And, I am with you.  Luckily, our nearly 5 year old is a total wuss.  He is scared at Spider Man and Scooby Doo cartoons he tries to watch and bails after less than 5-10 minutes.  I would not show GoT to a 12 year old, much less a 2 year old.)

MayDay10

my 6 year old walked in my basement when I was randomly watching S7, episode 7.  He saw the dragon and thought it was awesome.  I wanted to change it but he made me keep it on.  He saw the wight and wasnt phased by it... but I think someone swore, and I turned it off and said that was enough.

I don't mind as long as they spell the name as intended.

  This is our son, Yob.  It's pronounced "Bob" but Cindy thought using a Y would make it unique and that someday he will be president ...

MayDay10

That was absolutely epic.

darwinstheory

Holy chi chi's! How is she overthrown next week? Who does it? Who ends up on the throne?

Gern Blansten

Either Arya or Jon is going to have to kill Dany 

Jason P

whoa

Jason P

I don't know if there is a throne anymore ...

So that was equivalent, theoretically, to one of the first atom bombs going off over a city in terms of mass causalities.

mfc2006

That was an insanely awesome episode.

Jason P

Remember that scene in season 2 in the House of the Undying? Dany had a vision of walking through the Red Keep. The ceiling was broken open and there was this white stuff falling into the throne room. We assumed that was snow and that winter had come to the South. In this episode, at long last, Dany really is in King’s Landing and the Red Keep is being destroyed. But there’s no snow. We see that white stuff was actually ash. Dany’s the queen of the ashes. So this turn was foreshadowed from the show’s very early days.

Khaleesi has green eyes...

Whoa.
Loved it.  Was horrified, but best episode in a while.

Malroth

An entertaining and enjoyable episode.

If I had a complaint it would be the overuse of coincidence.

tempo_n_groove

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I thought the Eunich was going to have her killed, guess not...

So.  Question.  When the one dragon went off for a while, remember that?  What are the odds that it went off and made baby dragons?

I just have a feeling that we aren't done with the dragons...

tbergs

That was unexpected. Awesome and horrifying episode. My only complaint is that the dragon was suddenly completely unstoppable. Poor Jon, fooled again. Arya has to be the queen slayer at this point. No one else knows her secret ability. Although will they allow a more happy ending or will this be the end of the Starks once and for all?

The only wildcard would be the dragon. Would Jon be able to control it or would they be able to put it down?
