I wouldn't be surprised to see Dany take a dragon North to verify the threat and lose one in the process.

How bad is Drogon hurt?

Can he still fly? I am sad.

Drogon turned his head right in time to save his mother.

Holy ****. What an episode.

That dothraki cutting down Bron's horse and the aftermath was compelling television.

The dragon scenes were amazing.

Aryas scenes were good. However parrying a hand and a half sword with her dinky one is a tough ask. That took me out of it a bit. But over all a good scene.

Still not sure what they're trying to get at with Bran. I mean I think I know with Meera and all that but I just don't GET it. I did giggle at his little mind**** of Littlefinger. I had to rewind it to see what he said but after I did I was happy with the play on Brans part.

Great episode. Not sure how the **** I'm supposed to sleep after all that.

Judging by his ability to regain flight momentarily, not too significantly. Once the bolt is removed, he may be able to limp back to Dragon Stone. I thought for sure he was going to eat the bolt; the only thing keeping me guessing was Dany on his back.

The dragon that dies will be flying solo, most likely.

Lets hope she doesn't lose a dragon North of the wall.

Beuhler:

The scene with Bron's horse was heart wrenching.

Wish I could erase that scene from my mind right now.

Brutal.

Thanks -

I am 1,000% sure they didn't actually cut a horse down. PITA would be all up in their grill.

I know that it never happened :D

However, the sophisticated of computer-generated images were realistic.

It would make the most sense. If she loses it battling the South, it would take a while before the dragon would provide any sort of advantage to the Night King.

As I mentioned previously: Dany HAD the best navy, cavalry, army, and the only existing aerial attack in Westeros. Currently, her Navy is seemingly depleted and her Army is tied up trying to find its way back to her.

The Night King can outmatch her Army in numbers, they could consevably match the cavalry by the time they arrive, but the one thing the Night King is lacking is the aerial support. He will get it to even the odds before the confrontation occurs.

Because they filmed that in Ireland the animal laws are different. According to the post production report I read they actually did cut the horse's leg off in that scene. Worst part is they needed 3 takes.

Luckily, horses have 4 legs.

The simplest answer is that Bran is screwed in the head from having all of the knowledge he's experienced from the Weirwood and is constantly experiencing the present and the past all at once. Hence why he is creepily referencing Sansa's rape when speaking to her due to the fact he's not able to easily discern what's 'present'. This is a likely side effect from being an omniscient mortal like the original Three Eyed Raven.

What might be happening given he was a lot more lucid in speaking with Arya and Sansa but not necessarily with Meera was that he's intentionally acting aloof and disconnected because he thinks that's how he should act given his powers. Given the time he spent with Meera and her brother's sacrifice, he probably cares for her but instead remains cold and robotic in order to create distance between him and Meera to ensure she heads home and isn't in anymore danger from the White Walkers and does so with other people because he knows there's a big chance many people at Winterfell aren't going to make it.. if not outright can see their deaths as premonitions.

That's a great way to look at it.

What is everyone's take on the nods between Arya and Littlefinger, as well as the dissatisfaction from Sansa? That seemed odd.
