The rock throwing was too much like LOTR and the mines of Moria.

One dragon being a white flyer was pretty much a given. The best part of the episode yesterday I thought was the interaction between Arya and Sansa.

Yeah, she's not going to be real,swayed by a single wight when she has Frankenvader standing next to her.

With Dany committing all her forces for this meeting, I see wildfire coming. Tyrion has already been outwitted twice, and his relationship w Dany is tenuous, this could be his downfall.

Sets up for a big dragon on dragon battle. You can only show dragons torching people on the ground so much before you gotta mix it up.

(insert pithy phrase here...)

Yup. Losing one of her dragons also weakens Dany's hand slightly. She's lost a third of her air force now, that third having gone over to the (real) enemy.

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

If that's the case I'm guessing Cerci or Jamie sees the army of the dead soldier they brought back. The wildfire is then saved to use against the army of the dead in the epic battle to come.

The best interaction was Clegane and Tormund!

It was definitely the funniest.

I think the Arya-Sansa thing is being done to trick Littlefinger into believing that his evil ploy is working. Surely by now Sansa knows that Litllefinger's motives can never be trusted.And it wouldn't surprise me if Sansa is the one who finally cuts his throat.

Baelish will die. Soon.

I also think Dany will die as well, possibly by the ice dragon. Jon will be the rightful heir (which he is anyway) and he will rule the kingdoms on his own. I think he will also use a dragon to subdue his enemies.

It was almost as if the writers were poking us, too, having the Walker with literally no brain in his skull figure out that the ice was thick enough to support their weight.

Probably my least favorite of the big episodes. They went way too LOTR in the battle scenes, with the WWs being cartoonishly inept at fighting, and I counted at least six walk breaks for dramatic dialogue.

So why didn't they just use the eagles to fly the ring to Orodruin?

So now I'm now imagining Jon Snow, Frodo and Sam, and Darth Vader bumping around together on stone rafts in a lava flow.

Made the comment to my wife while watching this episode last night..."is this GoT or Fellowship of the Ring?"

I guess one dead dragon puts an end to the theory that Tyrion is also a Targaryen and will be the third rider - only need 2 dragon riders now and between Jon and Daenerys they've got it covered.

Before Dany left I was thinking Tyrion was somehow going to get on one in her place or ride along with her on one. Thus showing he was Targaryen.

I always found the Tyrion being a Targaryen speculation to be pretty unlikely, other than him saying that all dwarves are bastards there's been pretty much no hints dropped in either books or TV.

I was half expecting Jon to prove his Targaryen heritage by having Rhaegal come back and rescue him.

Whose mojo is stronger? The ice king or the mother of dragons? Can Dany turn the dragon back to fire?

100% agree with this. Sansa is a lot smarter than people think and she's been warned by everyone (most notably and recently Jon, Arya and Brienne) so she is certainly playing it up to keep Littlefinger comfy. Arya is also extremely wise and shrewd.

Her enemies in King's Landing don't know about the loss of the one dragon. It doesn't weaken her hand per se when it comes to the mental jiu-jitsu because as far as they know she still has three. Hopefully she's not dumb enough to mention that to Cersei and Jaime during their little meet and greet next week. "The Night King is so powerful that he even killed one of my dragons." Best not to offer up that info.

I made the FOTR comment at the end of 5 when they were all setting off from the wall.

I found it strange that the night king would spear a flying dragon when there was a grounded one (with enemies) 50 yards away.
