The only person that thought Stannis was the "Lord of Light" was Melisandre. Even his troops and Davos didn't believe that stupid shit.

I thought it was "The Prince that was promised" by the Lord of Light and not THE Lord of Light.

^Okay now I can see the argument

I liked the entire dragon scene but I thought the best scene was the up close scene with Bronn after getting knocked off his horse

^ I think the reason he is not saying more things is he already knows what happens in the future too so he only needs to tell them what he already knows he is going to tell them. Or something like that

He also might be strategic with what he's saying. For one...most people aren't going to believe the shit he says. Two...if he did vomit everything out and people ran with it...who knows what the fuck would happen.

Gotta have some strategery.

And he could also have a clusterfuck of shit going on in his head and is trying to sort it all out.

I think he sees multitudes of futures, and being half trained he probably doesn't want to directly influence too many events yet until he comes more into his powers.

That being said, I don't like this 'Bran is dead' shtick...a little too emo for my tastes.

totally thought Bronn was going to die during that sequence and in some ways I wish he would have so we actually lost someone more tangible that episode. He's been one of my favorite book-to-screen minor characters for sure, but I think that would have been a fitting ending for him seeing as he continuously rolls the dice for $.

SPOILERS

this is probably the best comment I've seen on Reddit about the episode

Quote :
"We have seen Cersei's Modus Operandi over and over again. She makes a short term play that costs her in the long run. Tycho Nestoris of the Iron Bank said some very revealing things this episode. One was that the Bank does not Bet on winners and losers, it instead invests in the chosen victor. He also says the bank will support the Iron Throne once their debt is paid, not necessarily the current Queen, but whoever is on the throne. Second he appears to be flattering her by saying Tywin never paid his debt in full and she is really outshining her father by doing so. THIS is her big mistake, Tywin was no fool and he knew that while the Lannisters were in debt to the Bank the Bank had a vested interest in their success. By paying the debt in full Cersei has allowed Tycho to wash his hands of the Lannisters altogether. After what we saw on the battlefield we have a good idea whose position is strongest and who the Bank would like to back. This clearly contributes to the dire situation in Kings Landing with no grain and limited supplies. She will not Abdicate, instead force the dragons to destroy the city at which point the Kingslayer will be the Valonqar most assume he will be. The irony of this theory is in this case the Lannisters are undone by paying their debt."

This was one of my biggest complaints. Anyone with an elementary business education knows you wouldn't pay off all of your debt. She should have paid enough to improve her credit score with the bank, allowing them to continue providing loans. That way she could use her capital, in addition to the capital provided from the bank, to grow her army and build enormous, dragon killing crossbows. This will probably be her fatal mistake.

^^I agree with you on that one. Given how long it takes to reload, you gotta be a damn good shot. Bronn got extremely lucky, and I wouldn't expect your standard Lannister soldier to be as good. Even AA canons in WW2 had a hard time shooting down aircraft, and they were automatic.

I forgot to mention this before actually, how come the wagon with the giant crossbow in it was the only one that wasn't torched when the dragon started lighting things up?

yeah those things are not very practical for the intended task. especially in the open field like that. back at the keep, living a bunch of them up? ok maybe.

im fine with it as a plot device to add some sense of 'vulnerability' to Drogon for some viewers last week. But that should really be it.

I mean...if they can build about 20 of them and have them all shoot at the same time...it wouldn't be that difficult to hit a dragon. Problem would be getting off a few shots before you're turned to ashes.

Just for the record, the only dragon to have been killed by a giant crossbow in Martin's lore was shot right through the eye. Full grown dragon scales are basically invulnerable to any sort of man made weapon.

Agreed. Even though it is far fetched that they would actually be able to kill one with the big crossbows, it is currently the only way possible to even hurt one of them. I'm pretty sure at some point the Night's King will be resurrecting a dragon for an epic showdown in the future, so one of them will have to die at some point.

Maybe he kills cersei with the valerian steel sword and something special happens. Legend tells that azhora hai sword was made by killing the woman the maker loved.

And because Martin can do a lot if things with genes, any legends or knowing exactly who is who's parent can be weird. Especially with twins. Especially with Tyrions specific genetic condition. (two different colored eyes in book)

Ok, time for conspiracy theory.

Reasonable theory on what happens next episode. Everyone dies except jon.

Crazy theory.

He is literally turned into the night king, and the night king on the poster is Jon by the end of the season.

^I do. She just needed something to make sure he stays with her.

Now that Jon Targaryen has better claim to the throne than Dany it will be interesting to see how she reacts if she ever finds out. It also makes her a little more expendable as a main character.

Right? This is such a stupid idea it boggles my mind this what the writers landed on. I guess they couldn't find a better way to get the GoT's Avengers together?

I think Cersei's pregnant...but I bet she has a miscarriage. She'll get Jamie to do some bad shit and then bleed out.

I don't think Jon gives a fuck about being king...even if he finds out he's a Targaryen. At the same time...I wouldn't be surprise to se Dany die at some point and that shit falls in his lap. And he might turn it down again..who knows. We'll probably see Gendry and Sansa sitting pretty in Kings Landing at the end of this shit.

I always thought that it made no sense for the Kingsguard to be hanging around a dead prince's side piece and his unborn illegitimate bastard when there were living Targaryen heirs still at Dragonstone. For that reason alone it always seemed obvious that Rhaegar had married Lyanna before dying. Nice to have confirmation though.

I don't think that's how that works



Although it doesn't make sense that he is going north of the wall instead of learning to forge valyrian or dragonglass weapons...
