I mean, why wouldn't they?

We saw several wights fall into the frozen water this episode and not a single one was able to swim back to the surface. Are we to believe one of the Walkers dove in there and hooked up the chains to the dragon? That just makes for a funny visual.

There is no way Cersi doesn't try something underhanded and people start fighting.

Cleagane Bowl is going to happen next week. What is hype can never die.

Qyburn.

Uh-Oh.

They are going to forge a tip of dragon glass and put it on the massive crossbow to kill the zombie dragon.

reeruned plot to capture a zombie to convince the **** queen that they exist.


Who cares what she thinks?

Dany is not going to like that. Shes going to want a cure. :D

Who else was waiting on Rhaegal to come back and rescue Jon?

Assuming the theories are true, they're probably saving that moment for a later date, but Benjen Ex Machina was pretty lame.

It now seems to be a huge plot device to get everyone together in Kings landing without burning castles and melting cities.

Night King has some Bran Stark-esque shit going for him or he can hear things spoken to the wights.

Night King and his generals were all standing together in plain view. One fire blast from Drogon and the entire army of the dead drops to the ground. War over in 30 seconds.

I was hoping the zombie dragon would fly out with Jon on his back since Jon is kind of undead and Targaryan so maybe the dragon would have known.

I think they are going for teasing a specific "good" ending. A benevolent leader guided by wise council that the people willfully follow.

Later they did show some coming out of a whole in the ice.

That's what I was thinking at the time but who knows what kind of voodoo he has?
