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...

If this were a movie, I'd say this would be where we'd get an obligatory camera pan out and then slow focus back in on a little nest of eggs just starting to hatch somewhere on Pentos or Mereen, but I don't think that will happen unless they want to leave things open for a movie or short miniseries return. Since Ice has been defeated it is now time for fire to be defeated so the realm of men can return to a more peaceful time and rule under someone more just.

I do not like your "fire and ice" theory but it totally makes sense.  Boo.  I wanted more dragons.

Holy shit. That was a great episode!

I loved the Tyrion and Jamie scene; that was really well done. A little disappointed with the way Cersei went out though, it didn’t really fit her character to go out in tears.

Arya has to be the one to get Daenerys now.

Well the mad queen is here!  Holy shit that was wild.  I don't think Jon will have the balls to kill her....Arya will take her out.  Jon obviously doesn't want the throne so my prediction is Sansa becomes queen and Jon is warden of the north.

If Jon Survives, a bittersweet ending is that he would be King, a position he truly does not want.  I could also see him leaving everyone and heading north above what is left of the wall.

One other comment, I have given up on character development. I am highly entertained by this show yet as long as I forget about the past and what has come before.

7 seasons of character development is enough and they’ve nailed the endings of every arc so far imo.

Im thinking Jon and Dany (and Drogon) are all goners.  Sansa/Tyrion/Davos become the voice of the people and abolish the Targaryan throne and King of the realm structure, and restore the Realm to 7 or 8 independent Kingdoms.  You already have several in place waiting

North - Sansa
Iron Islands - Yara/Asha (iron islands may be considered riverlands or north?)
Stormlands - Gendry
West/Rock - Tyrion
Riverlands/Riverrun - Edmure
Highgarden/Reach - Bronn
Vale - Robert/Robyn
Dorne - Dunno, maybe Ellaria will be found, lol

My favorite death of was the goofy golden company leader getting nuked from behind.  

Im now kinda glad Missandre got the chop. Greyworm is going to go pout to Dany after going on his kill/murder spree about dumbass Jon.  

In in regards to baby dragons, even if the dragons have gone full Jurassic Park asexual, the baby dragons would be wild and without human riders growing up so I don’t anticipate a baby dragon intervention.

I guess Greyworm survived but they didn't show him for a while.

I am glad that people are enjoying these last few episodes , I just felt last night and the week before have just felt uneven and rushing to get to the end.

Again not going to argue with people liking it , I just wish I was there as well. I think of Breaking Bad , Six Feet Under and even Lost. Every episodes was so exciting in the end.

I just feel like they have a large list and are trying to check off as many boxes as they can per episode.

He never went to Kings Landing for this battle, did he?

I think that there is a lot of "rushing to wrap things up" but that is another thing I directly tie to GRRM not finishing the books and telling the screenwriters how to get there.  I like where we are ending up and am fine looking past the shortcomings and enjoying the episode...and looking forward to next week's finale.  (And, if we ever get the books...then I am sure we will get the background behind what happens and why they happen that way, or actions that are more in keeping with the brilliant character development of the books and early series.)

And...I forgot about the breastfeeding bandit, Robert/Robyn.

Arya kills Jon Snow. Uses his face to get close to, and eventually kill Dany. 

She goes off with Gendry. Sansa on the throne. Tyrion as her hand.

Where did Varys send his letters? Was he trying to get people to rally behind Jon?

So, Arya confronts Jon and tries to get him to see logic.  He sticks to his loyalty bullshit, as always, and she has no way to get past him beyond killing him.  (We dont know that)  She puts his face on and kills Dany...reveals that it was Arya.

I love that.  Sad for Jon but cool overall.

What about the city wrecking dragon?

So many cool options.

Pretty sure that is what he was doing. Another thing that would have benefited from have more episodes. Varys probably knew that Jon breaking up with his girlfriend the night before prom would not go over well.

Maybe she doesn't even have to confront Hon. Maybe this was the tipping point at which she blames him for everything. Just offs him. Perhaps having Jon Snows face allows her to get close enough to somehow off Drogon as well?

Sorry, I've just been waiting for the face thing to come into play again.

It has to be another big part of the series but she takes out two different kings/queens?  The new "Kingslayer"?
