I knew that's how they'd end this season, but now that it's happened and we're staring down the barrel of (at least) another year before we get more episodes  :curse:

You may be the only one confused

They changed Asha's name to Yara to avoid confusion but now we have two sons of the same guy with the exact same name.

Only one of which that is relevant to the show moving forward.

I don't think they've ever mentioned rhaegar's other children by name in the show. Relax, book nerds.

Here is a quote from season 3.

House Clegane was built upon dead children. I saw them lay Prince Aegon and Princess Rhaenys before the Iron Throne.
-Thoros of Myr

Solid finale. I'll try to do this in order....

The dragonpit scene was surprisingly well done. Fun reunions.

That Clegane face off was straight out of a WWE smackdown. Cleganbowl!

Hey Cersei actually does something pretty clever! But good for Jamie - you can do better, bro.

Yay Theon.

Oh so turns out all Bran had to do was tell the crazy sisters everything LF did. Yeah that'll work.

Sam's reaction to Bran. :lol:

Dany doesn't seem to mind having sex with a guy with a bunch of creepy open knife wounds. Seems unsanitary.

Wonder what the whole timeline was with Rhaegar's kids being killed, getting remarried, having Aegon2. Agree there's something weird here. Also how much longer are they going to stretch out the twin Meera reveal?!

Oh so turns out frosty ice dragon breath can melt Walls. And you know Tormund is gonna survive this.


I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

tyrion really sucks at being a hand.  also he'll be the one doing the third betrayal (not my own theory, but it's fairly obvious once laid out).

So, Tyrion is played by his sister once again.  No surprise really.  You'd think he'd know better by now.  Maybe he does know?  And what was the deal with him creeping outside the door while Dany and Jon were in the sack?  It is definitely looking like he might be the betrayer, but I just can't bring myself there yet.  Especially since his love is definitely for Jaime, not Cersei, and Jaime just rode off into the sunset. 

On that note, we see just how terrible the wight mission was.  No new ally, and you gave the NK the ultimate weapon.

We explicitly found out that Jon is a legit Targ.  Will he have his long needed talk with Bran now that everyone is converging on winterfell?  Or will they divert and head further north now that the Dead are coming?  I hope they don't leave that hanging out there as it will add a new dynamic to the Dany and Jon saga.  Jorah definitely tried to keep them from being on the same boat together, and of course, the aforementioned Tyrion creeping.

We finally got a straightforward time estimate from KL to Winterfell.  2 weeks on horseback.

Sam's reaction to Bran was great!  I may actually end up liking this Sam guy after all.

Rhaegar, his ex-wife, and first 2 kids were killed shortly before Jon was born.  The war was started because Rhaegar "kidnapped" Lyanna, so the deaths happened after they were married.

I believe the ice dragon breathes ice breath not ice fire breath.  It looked like it made the wall so cold and brittle that it crumbled under it's own weight instead of melting it.

No way Tormund and Beric are dead.  Beric still has to accomplish something, otherwise being brought back to life a dozen times makes no sense.  And, you just can't get rid of Red Beard yet.

The Littlefinger end was satisfying.  I was hinging there for a minute, like, ok girls, don't tell me he still has you crossed.

ice wall seemed like a waste of time, should have just made a wall of fire

George Foreman has five sons named George Foreman (all alive) so I don't see the big deal about the Aegon thing.

The Theon redemption was maybe the worst thing about the show.

LOL. Yes! that is exactly what I was thinking too! Who does Rhaegar think he is? George Forman? Why didn't he name is daughter Aegonys?

I knew that they were going to turn on Littlefinger as soon as Arya walked into the room but it was still so satisfying. I was a little surprised he begged so much.

I think the dragon was breathing blue fire (hotter than normal fire); not exactly sure though.
