    Even in some hypothesized binary star sun configuration?

    Sansa is no longer married to Tyrion. She never consumnated the marriage with him, and she married Ramsay Bolton.

    I kind of think Jon Snow will be King, with Arya and Sansa being his co-rulers (as Targaryens used to do--a three part rulership)

    There's only 1 sun, we see this clearly in the show and the books never describe otherwise either. If we take the show's intro literally, there's a single sun and Planetos is a ring world.

    My personal theory is that this is all actually scifi, not fantasy which is why there are humans, everyone speaks English, the tech is WAY more advanced than a medieval society should be (The Valyrians had gunpowder, electricity, radio and video) and magic is the work of nanobots. But something happened thousands of years that ****ed things up (with only Yi Ti and the Valyrian Freehold getting anywhere near back to where they were) and everyone forgot over time.

    Anyone satisfied with Sunday May 12 episode.

    I think they let the script writers go home too soon.

    From what I saw of it I was disappointed.

    Battle of the bastards still the best episode

    The only scene worth anything was the moment
    Arya said, "Thank You" to the Hound calling him by name.

    So, did Jaime & Cercei survive the cave in?
    We have only a suggestion they got squished together.

    Good episodes have characters in a meaningful conversation now and then.

    Dani has lost her mind. She's going to get killed.

    In the context that seasons 7 & 8 have been way too rushed, and I have accepted that and am enjoying it for what it is, I thought this episode was fantastic.

    I've been expecting Dany to end up like her father for a very long time. There's literally no point to that plot line if Dany just ends up being the bestest queen ever. She's been showing signs that she has extremely dark thoughts since 1.10, but always had an adviser she trusted to talk her off the ledge. (Ser Barrister, for example, warned her that she could easily go that route.)

    My biggest complaint is that Tyrion no longer knows things. We have had no reasonable explanation for why he would not only trust his sister once, but twice. Why did he tell Dany that Varys had betrayed her? That was dumb and he isn't dumb. It's fine that Jon didn't understand; he's not had a chance to witness her darker side and plus, he's dumb. What's Tyrion's excuse? He saw it.

    Watched the episode again.
    Enjoyed it much more.

    Was that storage of Dragon Fire that burst into Green Flames
    now and then as Dany lays waste to Kings Landing?
    Grayworm got to vent his anger over his loss.

    Tyrion seems to wander the ruins in horror and disbelief.
    While Dany accomplishes what her daddy didn't.

    All and all, I think I would rather live in Dorn, or Bravos.
    :rolleyes:

    LOL @ Moi

    I believe they showed the remaining wyldfire at some point in season 7. I think it was just that going bye-bye.

    I just did my re-watch and I love it even more, now, too. So good. The writing was okay, but cinematography, score and acting was top-notch.

    I've thought this myself, though I'm going to be mightily disappointed if Bran gets up and walks back into a rocket ship in the last episode. My reasons are sort of the opposite of yours though, The Wall,frex, is 8000 years old and there are a lot of indications that Westeros has been at a Medieval stage for uncounted millenia, Something is holding these people back.

    There is a lot that the Magisters know and aren't letting on. There was a rather tantalizing hint at hint at this just a few episodes gone that I missed, where a big sort of Thingamabob that has been a part of the opening credits since the beginning was shown to be an actual and rather central part of their Library rather than just a piece of graphic decoration.

    Our species is 200k years old and we spent the 1st 188k of them throwing rocks at deer and only had better than what we see in this show for ~300 years. Humans are natural explorers but we're not particularly innovative (this changed with modern, mandatory, society wide education in the late 18th century) unless we needed to fix something that our existing tech couldn't handle. "Don't fix what isn't broken" is our species motto so a medieval society (with magic to help things along) stagnating for so long makes perfect sense. Also this is only relevant to Westeros. Essos and Southeros were both home to 'modern' early industrial societies. Supposedly Yi Ti still is such a society, it's just too far away to be relevant to the story.

    PS Jaime lives. And he lives long enough to stab the
    mad queen as he did her father.
    Both, Kind and Queen Slayer, then gasps his last.

    The World of Ice and Fire is the book most relevant to this discussion.

    I think "Two Swords" (opener of season 4) is the best. We see Arya becoming a stone cold killer.

    The cinematography in battle of the bastards was the best I've ever seen.

    Maybe, but remember she did say she wanted to Break the Wheel, not just continue it. Maybe she wants to overthrow the whole system of royal rule and what better way to turn everyone against her and all the rulers than to kill great numbers of the common people. Yes, that sounds Targaryen insane and indeed it just may be, but she is also making one hell of an omelet, isn't she?

    Another question is how Drogon, her last dragon, was feeling about all these humans who had just killed both of his siblings. Dragons don't have language but that doesn't mean they can't be quite as intelligent as people, like porpoises, and possibly quite attached to their fiery family. How much was Dani actually in charge of incinerating King's Landing and how much was she just along for the ride?

    The most satisfying moment of the whole series was when Arya fed Walder Frey his offspring

    The only thing missing was "The Starks send their regards" just before slitting his throat.
