I think they also had the ships from the free cities.

Really? Didn't notice. It was a great ending scene. The music in this episode was great too, especially at the beginning.
Ships they captured from the slavers, grey joy ships, ships from dorne so no logic problem there.
Here's the song that plays at the beginning, if anyone's interested. It's amazing.
I am talking about the time it would have taken to build all the dragon heads and all those Targ banners for the ships, which would have taken a lot of time. That plus Varys quickly getting to Meereen would have also taken a lot of time, but the episode was set up as if that just happened in quick succession, otherwise Dany wouldn't have told Daario Naharis she was about to leave him months before she had left.
Not that I have a problem with that, only saying. It is good that they speed it up, I don't mind when it develops the plot as it did.
So did arya have that face on the whole time in that episode ? She was so close to Jaime
Yeah, he's not on her list though.
Yeah if you look closely in some of the shots you can see blueish/green sails with a gold rose on them. All the Slavers' ships seem to have the Targ flag flying on them so it's them.
If Sam can find some way to make wildfire in the massive library, does that mean it could be used against the Night's King's Army? Could he also find out how to make Valyrian Steel with the new dragons?
One of my show only friend who didn't read spoilers/theories just asked me if Ned and Lyanna aren't real siblings 
, he thought Jon is their son

Better than thinking Jon is half stark and half baratheon as someone did in the show thread
Which shows that they didn't do a good job presenting the secret. If the internet doesn't exist you'll probably have 70% of show only watchers scratching their heads as to what's going on.
yep fair point
Maybe they didn't intend to fully reveal it in this episode. The reveal here was that Jon isn't Ned Stark's illegitimate son, but his sister's son; something which would have been a shock to show watchers had the books not existed.
they may have been working on things like that since she took the fleet, which in reality the show is not clear on how much time has passed between that event and her sailing. She could have told Dario at any point even in advance so that he would understand the plans being made for who gets shipped and who doesn't.
Could be, but as they didn't do the great tourney in Harrenhal and probably won't due to time running out, I just can't see how they can flesh out the story coherently with only 13 eps left. Which is criminal in my view, since this is such an important piece in the whole story it deserves the screen time instead of 'bad pussay'
Really really enjoyed this episode, R+L=J confirmed, Jaime having to slay Cersei the Mad Queen to fulfil the prophecy as good as confirmed, only surprise was the Wall not coming down at the end as a cliffhanger.
I'm also wondering how they'll break this news to Jon/Danerys in a way that will have them believing it. A time travelling Bran is going to be a hard sell.
Perhaps when the two eventually do meet Jon will have some bizarre natural affinity with the dragons?
Once they showed Bran and where he was, I knew the Whitewalkers were not going to figure strongly in the final. Story wise gives more time for the North to prepare, have Bran meet back up with Sansa and Jon (which I imagine will happen fairly quickly next season once Bran goes back to the other side of the wall), Sam has to have some time to play his part, etc. Plus once the Wall comes down it is pretty much the Whitewalker army sweeping South, and we all figure the Dragons will play some role in stopping them, so still a bit of story telling to do.
Or 'bizarre natural affinity' with their mother
Or 'bizarre natural affinity' with their mother
Was gonna ask what would that have to do with bringing out the Targ secret, then I remembered Targcest has been a thing for centuries
Unless I missed something, we really didnt get the r + l = j theory confirmed. Only that Lyanna is likely his mother
Probably a safe assumption. Who else could it be?
Yeah, but when we know that Rhaegar was with Lyanna and that Lyanna said Robert would kill the child, it's basically confirmed.
This guy.
Now if you had said Podrick and his magic ccok, I would have believed you.
Dany and Jon getting it on is pretty much sealed. She said she would need to marry to make alliances. Dorne and Highgarden have no heirs and they're already onside anyway.Or 'bizarre natural affinity' with their mother
The King in the North is single though.
Garland and Willard are not in the show?
Questions
Odds that Dany's fleet gets a bit banged up by some sort of storm ala Connington's fleet getting scattered and parts destroyed? Thus reducing her numerical advantages some what. How will the Dorthraki react to winter? Are they used to winters where they wander in Essos or will it come as a shock to them?
Nope, Queen of Thorns pretty much said she was the only one left.
Who else would his father be with the Kingsguard protecting his mother in that scenario?
Feck knows, but if THATS the reveal then its pretty shit.
How many plausible ways are there for Jon to find out? Bran didn't hear what Lyanna whispered... Maybe Jon's going to get set on fire and emerge like Dany.
With 13 episodes left it seems pretty unlikely to me that the 3 dragon riders will be anyone other than Dany, Jon and Tyrion
They've moved on from GRRM tremendously, in fact, I doubt the book even tops it if you go by the mediocrity of Book 4 and 5, which in turn led to the worst season in 5(by some distance too).
Season 6 was great, one 'filler' episode from my count, but will confirm on my rewatch. 2 episodes which are potential top 5....and will go down in "best episode" debates in the last 2 also. I don't think any other season has that.

Time will tell if or when and how Jon finds out. The Tower scenes played out exactly as many expected, and really about the only way they could have.
I don't know why people are unhappy with the parentage scene, it was about as obvious as can be.
It's obvious who his mother is. To anyone whos never heard of r+l=j, its really not obvious who his dad is
maybe, though a naval battle with Euron seems inevitable
Surely the ironborn fleet would mess Dany up at sea?
Possible Euron has Dragonbinder too?

I think the last three episodes have been up there with anything we've seen from GoT but I don't think the season as a whole was great at all. I found the first seven at least very weak. No One is quite possibly the worst episode I've seen.
--------------------
It was a very good episode. I do agree with @legolegs a bit in how disappointing it is that many players just got wiped out, but there's still a relatively sizeable amount. Cersei, Euron, Littlefinger (and Sansa?), and Olenna + Bad Pussy AND Varys. That last combination is very interesting, however terrible the Dorne arc has been. You also have to factor in the show doesn't have the ability to hone in on sideplots and character arcs because of time and budget constraints - the song between Ice and Fire is very much upon us now.
How awesome did Oldtown look, btw? I loved it. I'm also very mad that I've had to go another whole season without Jaime's redemption arc. Bah.
