Game of Thrones

too much lull in the episode. Dani walking around wondering why Jon Snow has not given her a final night of sex, I sure hope the fight starts early and all those previews are not all happening in the final 2 minutes of next weeks episode.

Yeah, supposedly there is a large iron door that protects the crypts and each Stark has an iron sword laid across their lap or on their bones. Interesting theory about Starks being immune to turning into wights. Is it possible that only a Stark can control their own undead in the crypts and that is why there has to be a Stark in Winterfell?

I mean Jon is a stark that died.

Well, he didn't exactly turn into a wight, now did he?

Jon came back from the dead supposedly through the Lord of Light, same as Beric.
Whether the red magic from Thoros/Melidsandre is working the same way is speculation.

Next weeks episode is being reported as having the longest battle scene in TV or movie history. So....I think we will see it sooner than the last two minutes.

For arguments sake let's say Tyrion is a Targaryen. Doesn't this make him the heir to the Iron Throne, and if so, doesn't this make Sansa the queen.

I guess it would depend on who is older, him or Rhaegar. I'm not sure if the Targaryans/Westeros follow the traditional lines of succession like say the British do, but if so, the line from Aerys (the Mad King) would be:

1) Rhaegar (dead), then his children (two were killed, but we have Jon)
2) Tyrion (though if he is Aerys' son, he's a bastard, and would have to be legitimized, or that may not matter if he's the last standing) then any of his future offspring
3) Dany


Much like the British throne goes Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, William, William's children, Harry, Harry's future children, Andrew, his children, etc, etc

Interesting how they have made Dany sort of unlikeable and trending towards maybe even a villain???

She's been unlikable since Season 2.

What's the working theory for how a part of the seven kingdoms gets by on pillaging and raping?

That's pretty much all the Iron Islands have ever done.

 

[Sparhawk]

That's pretty much all the Iron Islands have ever done.

Do they r*pe and pillage their own lands?
Or do they venture out into the other kingdoms?
And everyone in those kingdoms is ok with this?

"Eh, it's the Ironborn. Not worth raising a militia for...."

That's pretty much their entire history. No people aren't ok with it, The North, The Reach, The Lannisters etc have all fought the Ironborn over the centuries. Theon was at Wintefell initially as a hostage when Balon Greyjoy got a bit too uppity and got smacked down

You can't march a militia to the Iron Islands, and if you go by boat...

good luck with that.

Why has nobody thought of this. Screw dragon glass...
Arm every single man and woman with a torch. When fire hits them, they go up in flames like they are soaked in gasoline. Light one, and watch the chain reaction while sipping a glass of sweet tea.

I'm willing to bet those catapults will be spewing some kind of fiery object.

Wild fire would be more useful.

If Cersei didn't use it all, I suspect we will see it when the Walkers get to King's Landing.

Plus, fire kills the wights.

Not the White Walkers.

That and the Dragons.

 

[GNG]

That and the Dragons.

Who doesn't like Dragons?

 

[Sparhawk]

That and the Dragons.

Not sure how aggressive they will be with the dragons and the risk of another ice javelin.

OTOH, NK must be close to fire one of those off.
Can the other WWs throw them?
Can the wight-giants fire bows/crossbows at the dragons?

How do we know it doesn't kill white walkers? Has it been tried? I don't remember.

Sheep

How do you kill White Walkers?
We know what won't work: Regular steel swords won't kill either White Walkers or Wights.

Fire does work on wights, who are very flammable. But White Walkers seem to be able to walk through it unscathed

Reading something that the Night King may head for Kings Landing first?

Maybe he didn't see the previews for Episode 3.....
