Yeah, I really just don't get it. haha. Like...MAYBE Jon's true purpose was to stop Dany and not The Night King? (Still doesn't mean he needed to know he was the heir to the thrown, but oh well) But yes, I still don't know how that justifies telling them all a secret that inevitably tears them all apart. I feel like he sort of knew what might happen with Dany considering he had specific visions of a dragon flying over Kings Landing (though the are very, very vague about how much he knows about the future and kind of fluctuate his knowledge based on convenience). Maybe Dany would have eventually went mad anyway, but you gotta think there was a better way of getting her out of the picture than letting her decimate Kings Landing first. Right after Bran helped save humanity, he contributes to the burning of thousands of people lol I believe Jon rode the dragon before either of them found out he was a Targaryen. Otherwise that could have been a pretty good point within the show.
He rode him before. I remember some discussion in here about whether or not that should have tipped her off that he was a Targ or if that was book only lore.
Lmao I didn’t even catch that. “Sarah...does the name Aegon mean anything to you?” *music intensifies*
You’d think that, with Jon so steadfastly defending dany all up until now, the people who want her out of power might reconsider putting him on the throne
I’m imagining how crazy the internet would be blowing up if the final scene of last night’s episode was the finale final scene. Damn, that’d be something. Is she dead? Is Bran the horse? Is it just a horse? What does it mean? Where’s she going next?
“And I saw Mom, and there she was with two teenaged dragons...and they all looked so happy. And I realized that here, we lost some of them, but over there...they lost all of us.”
The Hound...I mean, Sandor...has to be the most....fulfilling death of the show, right? Between him having a big fucking heart for Arya and then finally getting his revenge and falling into the fire.
I don’t quite get why he was insistent Arya turn around because he recognized everyone was dying but still wanted to go fight the Mountain anyway
Because that was what had fueled him for pretty much his entire life, he NEEDED to kill his brother. And he recognized how that hate had ruined him, and he didn’t want that for Arya.
They do “redemption equals death” a lot, has there been anyone who completed that kind of arc and is still alive? I feel like there must be but I’m totally blanking.
Then what was the point of all the wandering he did with Arya and the Brotherhood Without Banners and the North? All these characters go through so much that gives them scope and purpose beyond the singular drives they had initially and I don’t love how the show has reverted them all back to those singular obsessions. It’s not so much that a character regresses, it’s that nearly all of them seem to be regressing, and that it’s not being done all that well. I don’t like the messaging of it and most of the execution of it.
I don’t think Arya is regressing (though I have some qualms with her handling, I like where she’s set up going into the finale), I was talking about Sandor
