The Mountain wasn’t in it?
House Targaryen is all about incest and dragons. Getting it on with your auntie instead of your sister would be a bit prude by their standards.
Jon didn't grow up as a Targ, though.
He was raised a straight lace northerner though.
Nephew not uncle
What's this all about?
I'd rather find out everything by watching
So, that's a third of the final season down. Amazing progress on all fronts
Probably. He gets a lot of credit as a character for being 'nice' and 'honest' or whatever but at this point he just seems naive. Maybe it's cos he keeps falling upwards he thinks nothing he does is wrong
Name of your heavy metal band.
If Sansa and Danny have any more cringey mutually disapproving looks at each other then I’m done with this show
What I think should/should have happened with the Walkers but won't. Putting in spoilers just in case
The Night King knows Winterfell is prepared for them with people waiting and the correct weapons to hurt them. Also there are 2 fecking dragons to his 1.
He should leave a skeleton army (pun intended) as a distraction for Winterfell, while he takes himself, dragon and his big boy army to take on Kings Landing etc. They, and other areas below Winterfell, are relatively woefully unprepared and once he makes light work of them, the whole thing is his. As by the time Winterfell etc. realise what has happened he's taken over the the other lands. Winterfell will be the last main refuge and surrounded by the dead.
Walkers win.

I thought it was more "wow, she's a worse actor than me".
Maybe.Side note, I was watching Richard Madden in Bodyguard and even though it was a bit shit, he was great in it. Why the feck didn't they switch him and Kit up in roles seeing as he's a way better actor and they knew he'd be dead in season three?
Maisie Williams has gotten fecking terrible too. Feels like it's easier for kids to get away with poor acting but now that she's an adult it really shines through how dire she is.
The show has definitely suffered in recent seasons from losing its veterans and focusing more on the now grown up younger actors.
There's actually no reason at all to go for Winterfell where virtually all enemy forces are concentrated. Just look at the map... the Walkers have the whole f*cking north to stroll south while leaving the enemy host to freeze and starve in that one castle in the middle of nowhere. But that's logic... the show doesn't do that anymore.
The NK's whole purpose is to eliminate all life.There's actually no reason at all to go for Winterfell where virtually all enemy forces are concentrated.

There's a lot of it at Winterfell, obviously he's going to go there.
Plus, he wants Bran, and Bran's at Winterfell.
We don't really know what he's out to achieve. But especially if eliminating all life is his main goal, it makes absolutely no sense to start where the enemy is strongest. He should zombiefy all of Westeros and only then come back to mop up the fools sitting around and twiddling their thumbs in Winterfell. As for Bran, the whole motivation we are given for this is a single line by Bran himself. That's just weak.
He's got a dragon which makes it far quicker and easier to get to KL. I think that's where he's gone.
Of course best option for NK would be to surround Winterfell and starve them to death. I mean they just sit there waiting and getting together there so close to the wall doesn't make much sense. But I don't think WW are much in tactics nor do I imagine them having war councils.
But we don't actually know what he wants, or why he wants it rather. Why now, what did man do to piss him off?
Either way, Winterfell can be kept there and deal with the 'easy bits' first
I hope so. It just feels (more) stupid otherwise
Bloody hell. Many of you are overly critical combined with hugely overthinking things. Relax and enjoy the ride. After all it is at its core tits and dragons.

Charles Dance was a big loss from the cast on that front, he's excellent. There's a lot of shitty acting now for sure.
Ironically, Tyrion's character has never been the same since he killed his father. I'd argue that the trial was his peak.
Tyrion has been a passenger since then. They really haven't known what to do with him since and just shoe-horned him in to keep him around.
Exactly.
The first few seasons portrayed an extremely witty and intelligent dwarf, crippled by his father's disappointment and his own vices developed as an escapism from the former.
Now? No witty lines. No brilliant war tactics. No father to disappoint. No more vice to give into. (he doesn't even get drunk anymore)
Hope Bronn knocks him off.
Agree with this. I think it's all awesome. I don't care if Kit Harrington is a shite actor, all he has to do is sulk and brood in dark places and hopefully kill some dead'uns in the coming episodes.
The sideboob in that last episode made me squirm though.
I felt like a paedophile. It was revolting.
I too thought it was completely unnecessary putting that in there. They could have just done the scene like Euron and Cersi last week.
There is a ton of original dialogue since season 1 though. Sure you were shiting on the show during it's "peak" years.
So the character...developed?
Oops meant The Hound. My bad.
The way the season is going, I think some people may have been better off just watching it in a binge. There is a definite vibe that this last season is like one long epic movie particularly given the pre-Helms deep feeling from the last episode.
However I can understand why no one would want to do that given how popular the series is.

I was rather hoping my post would imply that the character fell off a cliff.
each to their own i sill enjoy tyrion.
I critique the show’s writing quality, or lack thereof, as much as the next fella, but it is extremely unfair on Benioff and Weiss to incessantly slam their narrative when the original author himself in completely stuck in a bind and has spent eight years on a still-unfinished sixth installment in the series.
It’s a very complex story to complete properly with so many character arcs to juggle. I think they’re going a commendable job with the television series all things considered.
Anyone feel that it's a bit odd how quickly Jon accepted that he is Aegon and the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna? It just felt like it took him 2 minutes to accept the best kept secret in westeros.
But he "knows it to be true", problem solved.
Possible Jon & Danny resolution...
In the big battle, something happens where Jon is overwhelmed by a load of wights and the night king, Danny has no option but to get Drogon to burn them all. The dust clears and all that is left is a naked and undamaged Jon. Danny sees that he is a true Targ and they live happily ever after as king and queen.
