    LOL! No-worm. First time seeing that.

    I liked the "I want his babies" look that Dany gave Jon when he pet Drogon and didn't lose an arm.

    LOL!

    Dany: "My dragon is so awesome, sexy, and beautiful right?"
    Jon: "He is a nice doggy"
    Dany: "WTF Jon! This is my son (or daughter or whatever)!"
    Jon: "Oh. Shit. Uh. Yeah. U got nice kids."

    Also, Bronn is a strong enough swimmer to pull a full grown man wearing a suit of battle armor from the bottom of a lake/pond/river/whatever.

    The prophecy says she will have 3 children. I'll wager she's gone in less than 9 months time.

    That's the word in the interwebz too. I'm not sure if they showed this in the TV episodes, but I think the prophecy also said:

    "And when your tears have drowned you, the Valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you."

    Valonqar meaning "little brother". So it is likely that Saucy feels threatened by Tyrion, and is disappointed that Jaimito did not kill him. But I feel she will either die due to birth complications, or Jaimito will kill her with his bare... err... one hand. Either way it will be Jaimito's fault. I think that will all happen this season.

    EDIT: Shut! the prophecy said "wrap his hands" and Jaimito only has one hand. Dunno how this will play out. Maybe Tyrion will pull through after all?

    EDIT 2: Maybe she is not pregnant at all and is just conning Jaimito given the prophecy 3 kid cap?

    Well, Jon actually did say something on the order of "nice beast" or something like that. To which Danny got all sensitive and shit, and said "these are my children you asshole!". To which Jon went all wall-faced with an "if-you-say-so" look about it.

    I expect a porn version of this coming soon though.

    Has anyone mentioned Gilly basically reading out loud how Jon's father annulled his first marriage so he could then marry Jon's mom? Basically the show saying Jon is legit Targarian. Not that the show hasn't been teasing it now for 7 seasons...

    Yup. I did call that one out in one of my rants in this thread. It's a solid point.

    Currently I'm curious how the hell Jon is going to survive his well planned, expertly manned, fully ground and air supported, slow-walker intelligence gathering mission.

    It will be okay, they brought some wildlings to be cannon fodder while the magnificent seven survive. Also yeah Gilly just confirmed that jon snow isn't a bastard and he's the rightful heir to the targaryan kingship since he's the legit son of crown prince Rhaegar, thus Dany isn't the rightful ruler of westeros... unless she marries Jon. DUN DUN DUNNNN

    That's assuming that Rhaegar and Lianna got married before his death at the hands (hammer) of Robert Baratheon. The show does seem to be inferring it, though.

    I got it right away....I am not sure if that is a good thing!

    So how closely are Jon and Dany related? Aunt and nephew?

    Yup. Aunt and newphew. It's a world of difference considering the Moanister situation.

    (I'm not sure how the Targaryen dynasty held that way. It ended the most powerful in the House of Habsburg dynasty - Kingdoms of Spain and Austria. Must be the magic is back or something like that.)

    I am trying to work out the chances that Littlefinger will survive this season. He is trying to provoke Arya to challenge Sansa with the note that Sansa sent to Rob, supporting the Lannisters. Arya is not very forgiving of people that have crossed her. If she manages to see Littlefingers "prints" on this ploy, I think he may have a personal introduction to Needle.

    There are a number of possibilities for that one in regards to execution, but I don't think Littlefinger will survive this season.

    No one is better at lurking and grinning in the shadows than Baelish....... Will miss him if he departs.

    Just read the contents:

    "Robb, I write to you with a heavy heart. Our good king Robert is dead, killed from wounds he took in a boar hunt. Father has been charged with treason. He conspired with Robert’s brothers against my beloved Joffrey and tried to steal his throne. The Lannisters are treating me very well and provide me with every comfort. I beg you: come to King’s Landing, swear fealty to King Joffrey and prevent any strife between the great houses of Lannister and Stark."

    I dunno what the writers will do. But if I remember correctly, Arya was there at the time when Ned got charged with treason. During her father's execution I believe Arya was hiding among the people, while Sansa was displayed and in obvious distress. So, obviously the "beloved Joffrey" phrase is not her own. Hell, the letter reads like a ransom letter.

    Furthermore, these events happened quite a while ago. And I would hope a more centered and callused Arya would ask herself what interest does Baelish have in this letter? Why does he want it? Is it to show it to Jon? Bran? Her? (assuming they have a volatile and shallow personality) If he wants to hide it, why not just destroy it. Is it for leverage in case Sansa turns on him?

    To the audience it seems it's to stir Arya. And he cannot flat out give it to her because he is supposed to be Sansa's friend. But Arya at this point could ask herself why this guy keeps this letter in the first place and not just destroy it if he is Sansa's buddy.

    None of the possible motivations Baelish may have in that letter paint a pretty picture for Baelish in the eyes of Arya. Not that it's needed though. Arya obviously dislikes Baelish.

    With all this in mind, I would not put it past Arya to toy with Baelish. Furthermore, it may be wise to keep things playing along to flush out any of Baelish collaborators in Winterfell.

    I think Littlefinger is underestimating Arya grossly. And it will cost him dearly and not survive this season. But I'm not the writer(s). Several ways this can play out interestingly.

    Figures like Baelish and Saucy have little room considering the situation north of the wall.

    Under low-magic, regular times, Baelish and Saucy like folk would probably prevail. But there is some magic going on helping the living against the death. A game among gods or something like that. Given the conditions, the living leadership is being reshuffled.

    It is taking bringing back Jon from the death, birthing dragons out of petrified eggs, having Bran become HAL-9000 and then some.
