Snow and Dany have martyr written all over them.
I think a while back you had mentioned that you'd be disappointed if this was all a foregone conclusion and I think that's where we are heading.

Though I'm less convinced than ever that Dany makes it.

Point on John reveal.

The audience already knows the John reveal, since Gilly read most of the annulment and marriage in the second or third episode. Unless it was just for exposition purposes, and to see if anyone is grossed out by an uncle and niece banging, what was the point?

I think the point was that Bran and Sam each had half of the info regarding Jon. Bran knew that Jon was a Targaryen. Sam knew that Rheagars marriage was annulled, but that meant nothing to him because he had no idea that Jon wasn't Eddards son.

That is spot on and I retract my previous statement. We still didn't get the payoff, that will happen when John/Dany get the memo but good point.

I think Dany gets pregnant. The question is whether or not she survives childbirth.

If that happens, then Jon's seed is POTENT. That's prophecy busting seed right there.

If so, she better give birth to another dragon. That would be awesome.

Don't Targaryans traditionally sleep with each other or am I remembering the books incorrectly?

Def don't think she does. And I'll be surprised if a dragon makes it.

Definitely incestuous. That's why half of them were crazy. And the Mad King, the Mad King. Also, it's why Tyrion is malformed, as he's supposed to be very likely Targ in the books.

The audience knew before the characters. Now the characters have all of the pieces. Duh.

I believe that the Targaryen's have a history of brother marrying sister. A nephew marrying an aunt isn't quite as bad; at least in this case there is some non-Targaryen blood (Stark) in the mix.

Someone has to say it, lord knows most are thinking it, but the Jon/Dany sex scene completely weak. I mean, that's seven seasons of build up. Complete premature ejaculation. The Drogo/Dany sex scene is how it should be done. Taken a real down turn here. Feminists complainers...

Jon will now be surrounded by enemies on all sides: Cersei, Tyrion, Danny, The Night King. Makes sense to end the season with a stregthended Stark Family bond. The North may be all he has for a while next season.

The scene with Reek was nice foreshadowing as well. "You don't have to choose. You are a Greyjoy and a Stark." Substitute Targaryen for Greyjoy.....

I love that I predicted Littlefinger's end almost right on the money. Knew the Starks were talking behind the scenes and saw through his nonsense.

Ice dragon seems a little too potent really. Taking down the wall in a minute or so? So are Torbruck and the fire sword guy dead? Seems it.

The King's Landing scenes were generally good, and reminded us of all the interrelationships among this cast of characters. Tyrian and Pod for example. Outcome was entirely predictable.

Jon reveal was good, and overdue. Now the question is: does everyone take Bran's word for it? How does it change things? With Dany, among the Starks...lots to deal with, while an army of the dead bears down on you.

Jaimie seems to have reached his breaking point with Cersei. And Sansa thinks she's a slow learner. Does anyone see those two slow learners making attractive children? Nah, me neither.

Not sure the point of the John reveal. The Theon arc becomes more relevant now that it turns out Euron and Cersei were playing everyone.

Tyrion looks like an idiot again.

better not expect any spoiler restraint. Serves him right. America First.

No proof Tyrion got played again. Not yet at least.

a debate at my house was what exactly was that blue flame the ice dragon was firing? Ice? Flame?

I wondered the same, but I say no. I mean, we didn't even see them get crushed, which I think you definitively would have if so. See the far side of the wall that was still standing? It looked like part of Eastwatch was still embedded. So perhaps they skated.

Great finale.

The summit was awesome considering the backstories of so many in attendance.


Agree.

Summit was first time so many of the key characters were in same scene in series....

Those two characters already had most of the pieces, and they are stuck in a room in winterfell. It's not like anyone important knows.

I wonder about the comment that "Robert's Rebellion was a lie". I wouldn't call the Rebellion a lie, Lyanna and Rhaegar were the liars.

They called it this because it was framed as Rhaegar kidnapping and effectively raping Lyanna. This story must have come from Robert and crew, and appears as though it might have been propagated on purpose. If it was Robert's 'public' reason for taking the crown, then yeah, the rebellion was was a lie.
