Who needs boats and dragons?! Varys should cough up his secret to teleportation. Seems to be pretty common since Arya used the teleporter as well.

Lyanna Mormont is quite the Spicy Seniorita. If I'm Jon I don't have much faith in my liege lords against the White Walkers if a 9 year-old girl can cut their balls off.

Wall...not fucked up! Yet.

Where was Heartsbane?

First Mereen last week and now this week first time all season King's Landing wasn't a boring mess. Better late than never! Cersei is awesome.


Sam had it.

Confused as to Littlefinger's end game. Well, I know what he wants. I have no idea what's his next move. Kinda stuck for now.

Pit Sansa against Jon. Make her the queen in the north with him by her side.

I think that final scene shows that they are very close to Westeros because there were Tyrell and Martell ships in the armada as well. Not so much teleportation as they time jumped. No one wants to watch 3 months sailing from Meereen to Westeros.

Either way, this was fantastic for the world. I'm inspired. I don't know when I'll ever sleep again.

I want Littlefinger to be a good guy but this definitely sets him up to be a bad guy.

Great fucking episode. Best of the series. Maybe best episode ever. The opening 10 minutes were great even though you knew just about what was going to happen...but the scale was something else.

The finale was good that I wouldn't care if that was the series finale. Well, other than the fact I want more.

Just awesome.

So many "huge pop" moments.

Cersei unencumbered from emotional attachments like her kids is frightening.

So Jon is definitely Rhaegar's and Lyanna's son right??? Or did they leave just enough wiggle room to retcon it if necessary.

I think so, but since they still didn't come out and say it...who knows.

Left it vague. All my friends thought the huge takeaway was he was a Baratheon/Stark. All the show made clear was she was kidnapped by Rhaegar.

If they have mentioned Rhaegar declared her as queen of love and beauty they didn't stress its importance enough then.

Yes he is.

Maybe they stay with the story that Rhaegar kidnapped and raped her though the previously on scene with Littlefinger and Sansa in the crypt at Winterfell seems to show they'll stick with them running away together.

From reading the books, the impression I always had was the entire series was really about the battle between Littlefinger and Varys. Varys is setting up his Targaryen chess piece (which gets infinitely more complicated next season). Littlefinger is setting up his Stark chesspiece. I don't think the show has really captured them as the puppet masters.

Interesting now that there is no "source material", the show is set up as a "Women of Westeros" war.

I enjoyed Cersei tormenting Septa Unella.

Zombie Gregor was a bit disappointing.

I'm shocked that Cersei didn't blow up all of King's Landing. I thought that was going down.

Very controlled burn.

What confuses the hell out of me is that I thought all the wildfire was used in the Blackwater battle. Guess Cersai was able to make more.

There were rumors that Aerys' stash of Wildfire was still hidden throughout the city. That's what Qyburn had his little birds searching for.

It always freaks me out that Maester Pycelle was almost James Bond about 40 years ago.

Well, with the fortune teller's words proving true, she probably just thought "eh, what the fuck?" and rolled with it.

It is amazing to see where she ended up in the finale as opposed to her situation at the beginning of the season. Also amazing how they were able to make her a sympathetic character with some BY GOD mark-out-moments, right before slamming her right back into a heel turn. Brilliant :twisted:.

IF Jon is Rhaegar's kid, and his(Rhaegar) dad was killed by the kingslayer, and Rhaegar is dead, Jon is King?

No. Cersei is Queen.

But there would be those that support a Targaryen making a claim to the throne. Or two...as the case seems to be.
