Either it was rigged by the young girl from earlier in the episode or Dany used her fire magic to turn it into an inferno. Either way I was fine with it.
This was a good "moving it along" episode with a lot of necessary set-up. The only thing that I don't get and/or seems strange this season is how no one at all seems particularly impressed with the fact that JON SNOW CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD. Sansa acted like re-animating was something you just do when you're at the wall. I know you can't keep having the same surprise over and over and over again, but not one character has been particularly amazed at the fact that he died and came back.

Other than that quibble...good episode.
She probably doesn't know. He was only dead for like a day. I doubt anybody outside of castle black knows. [Reply]

When they were talking he mentioned something along the lines of "what happened here [at Castle Black]."
Last week none of the condemned seemed to be particularly concerned that their executioner was himself executed (well, one guy did, but it was almost in passing).
Maybe up that far north after fighting the dead it has just become passe to die. [Reply]
In the books is there some sort of "known" mythology that the Dothroki subscribe to that would cause them to fall to their knees when they see Dany wipe out their long-hair politburo? Just curious. [Reply]

I imagine it's more about a primitive culture seeing something crazy and acting like she is a god. [Reply]
And regarding the fire, of course it was magic. She's standing in it. My guess is she has some measure of control over it, as seen when the dothraki ran outside the circle along the wall to the door and the fire followed them.
As far as the kneeling goes, the dothraki seem to make a habit of kneeling before those who can survive fire...

Yeah, there was accelerator put down before the meeting. She said the girl could help them. Maybe the girl helped them get access before the meeting. [Reply]
