Reddit going nuts......Jon's sword Longclaw open its eyes when he came up from beneath the water.

He has a cannon for an arm and magical exploding ice spears.

Did anyone else fast-forward through most of Tyrian's forever long sap speech to Dany?

It wasn't a sap speech as a 'Look you are doing stupid things and you getting killed pretty much ends this whole adventure, so lets designate someone as a heir just in case.'

Dany responded with her typical childishness.

Holy shit that episode and ending

No one has mentioned the undead freaking giant polar bear....

Was it Rhaegal or Viserion? That's all I want to know.

Well, the Night King has a dragon. Not the way I thought it was going to go down, but here we are.


These episodes are moving too fast. I understand why they are, but it seems so incredibly rushed now to get the story in that it's almost a disservice to the storytelling that has come before this point.

so the night king can hurl a spear made from ice 300mph and it explodes like a patriot missile? why didnt he throw these when they were on the island and just kill them all? drogon was right infront of him and he throws past him at a moving target.. lame.

lol it's just his movement and a reflection. They didn't actually "open".

It was needlessly drawn out, got boring quickly, and very obviously scripted by tv writers. Which is fine, it's a tv show. Imho.

It was Viserion.

I've thought all along that Jon Show will eventually ride Rhaegal since he was named after his biological father.

At times in the earlier seasons, like a lot of people, I found myself wanting more in each episode and for things to move quicker at times, but I think I realize now that the pacing and development of characters was critical to the quality of the show.

There were a lot of late night campfire or other random locations on the traveling journeys in the earlier seasons that advanced the story tremendously and provided those extra details that make the show so great.

A few possible explanations:

1) The ice spear didn't explode- it pierced the dragon, which is supposedly "fire made flesh" causing the inner flame to burst outward.

2) The NK is potentially a powerful warg/greenseer like Bran (maybe that's why he was chosen by the Children) and set this trap specifically to capture a dragon.

I've got nothing to explain why he didn't target Drogon. That would have ended the series too soon, I guess.

A nice touch since we didn't get one during the battle at the Fist.

Also, the CGI on these dragons is ****ing masterful. They've overtaken Reign of Fire for the title of best CGI dragons.
