About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...

It wasn't a sap speech as a 'Look you are doing stupid things and you getting killed pretty much ends this whole adventure, so lets designate someone as a heir just in case.'
Dany responded with her typical childishness. [Reply]
Well, the Night King has a dragon. Not the way I thought it was going to go down, but here we are.
These episodes are moving too fast. I understand why they are, but it seems so incredibly rushed now to get the story in that it's almost a disservice to the storytelling that has come before this point. [Reply]
so the night king can hurl a spear made from ice 300mph and it explodes like a patriot missile? why didnt he throw these when they were on the island and just kill them all? drogon was right infront of him and he throws past him at a moving target.. lame. [Reply]

It was needlessly drawn out, got boring quickly, and very obviously scripted by tv writers. Which is fine, it's a tv show. Imho. [Reply]

At times in the earlier seasons, like a lot of people, I found myself wanting more in each episode and for things to move quicker at times, but I think I realize now that the pacing and development of characters was critical to the quality of the show.
There were a lot of late night campfire or other random locations on the traveling journeys in the earlier seasons that advanced the story tremendously and provided those extra details that make the show so great. [Reply]

A few possible explanations:
1) The ice spear didn't explode- it pierced the dragon, which is supposedly "fire made flesh" causing the inner flame to burst outward.
2) The NK is potentially a powerful warg/greenseer like Bran (maybe that's why he was chosen by the Children) and set this trap specifically to capture a dragon.
I've got nothing to explain why he didn't target Drogon. That would have ended the series too soon, I guess. [Reply]
