Does Arya get the kill of Dany next week?



Nope. Jon's gonna have to do that one himself.


Arya will get it with Jon's face.

I'll call Jon killing gray worm. Arya has a chance at killing Dany. Someone will kill the dragon. Idk what happens to Jon.

The dragon has to die. But it probably won't be in a violent manner. Maybe Sansa will poison it.

I thought it was a nice gesture by the producers to give the pyrotechnics a shot at writing tonight's script and dialogue.

Absolutely none of us have any idea how much input Martin still has besides telling the writers how the books end.

I'd like to think the following need to be around for the last episode so they're safe for this week's episode:

Sansa
Arya
Tyrion
Dany
John

I can see these folks dying this week to clear the stage for next week:

Cersei
Jamie
Euron
Varys

Basically I see the Cersei issue being resolved this week and next week's episode focusing on the conflict between Dany and the Starks.

:lol:

Yeah.

Deducing.

Arya flying in with a cloak of invisibility shooting fireballs from her hands and them growing into a dragon and eating the other dragon then becoming emperor of the world.

Again, process of elimination isn't as impressive as you're making it out to be. I'm flattered that you think it is though.

Please keep your spoilers to yourself next week.

Sooooo, it's easy to kill dragons until its not. Okay. Why even kill them if there's zero at stake for losing them.

Yup. Last week euron was set up as some sort of dragon slayer extraordinaire. This week his entire fleet can't even nail the LARGEST dragon Dany had. Totally incomprehensible. Jaimie turned into season 4 long hair Jaimie then died under a pile of bricks. Seriously? Then wtf was the point of this whole redemption bullshit that took five years to build? And Cersei did not deserve that kind of somewhat honorable send off. Bitch should have been killed midsentence by someone stabbing her in the eye. It's a joke.

It was alright I guess. It hasn't been a great show for 3 seasons now so not sure what folks are expecting. Let's see how they end it.

Everyone has a decent guess. Most people saw the mad queen coming (I didn't - I refused to believe they'd do that) so I'm sure some theory out there has already nailed it. Well, everyone except Jbills has a decent guess. According him independent thinking is simply impossible.

I understand now why dragon fire didn't kill the Night King.

It's just a minor annoyance to main (and even semi-main) characters. Arya, Euron, hell even Strickland survived blasts of Dragon fire.

Arya got to her goal. Kill Cersei. Then she's talked out of it by The Hound. Why?

Jaimie and Euron fight. Who cares.

Dany's decision to nuke the city makes no sense. Especially when she had just won.

Cleganebowl was fine.

I will say that it was nice to see someone use proper tactics for a change on this show when Dany utilized Drogon as a "Wild Weasel" in a SEAD role.

Other than that, my other comments on this episode stand

The episode itself was cool a hell. Pure madness.

Unfortunately, the razing of the city made zero sense. Whatever

Euron with exquisite timing, swimming up to shore the second Jaime lands his boat. Just in time for a fight.

Yawn.

At least Jack Sparrow finally will be sent to Davey Jones' locker.

In a show where some people "warg" and others come back to life I don't really have a problem with Dany being able to avoid Euron's arrows on Drogon when she is actually paying attention to the threat rather than riding around without a worry in the world like she was when Rhaegal got shot down.

My bigger issue is the pointless waste of time that was the entire Night King plotline.

Finally, Are we really to believe that the "Breaker of Chains" vanquished King's Landing with minimal civilian casualties and was ready to ascend to the Iron Throne where she would clearly be loved as the person who liberated the city from the hated Cersei, suddenly decided to fly around frying children for the fun of it?

I have loved this season so far and the last episode was no different. However, it does have flaws but I have to see what happens next week to make a complete determination on those.

However, they made a huge mistake trying to put 3 seasons worth of stuff in 6 episodes. They should have really ramped it up last season to give this time more time to breathe or as now has been reported accepted that it would be a 10 episode season rather than 6. This is obvious from the "Mad Queen" storyline which literally took place over a few episodes with only minor hints prior to that. It's completely understandable why she went mad when you really think about it but it all happened in one or two episodes. She's spent the whole series basically getting whatever she wants because she has 3 dragons and has viewed herself as some sort of great person for it even though she has always had the goal of taking over the world and doing it by force because she has weapons that no one else has. She had never even seen the world she wanted to control and when she got there she learned it wouldn't be the easy conquest by a grateful people who would be happy that she took them out of chains which don't really exist there anyways because in general the people on that side of the water do live pretty free lives even with the Lannisters running things. Add in the issues with Jon and how he is rightfully more respected than she is and it is a perfect storm for her to throw a tantrum and take over by fear. That's why she burned everything. If that had happened over a season I think it would have been a better way to do it rather than defeating the Night King, talking to Cersei, killing everyone in what feels like 3 days.

I think after a cooldown period a lot of people will come around to it simply being a season that was done on light speed but upon rewatch there is more appreciation for the story still being great.
