I’m no Maester but I am pretty sure her kids are never named in the show.
Also, glad Bran is finally doing something and not being a piece of furniture.
I have to say the dragon’s are a bit less intimidating now that random snow guys can just kill them with javelins. How will their ice power work when they are not in the north though? I think the episode could have used less of Jon’s butt. I wonder if GRRM’s relatives feel awkward that he is writing about all this family members doing it.
Maybe they weren’t named on the show. Hard to keep track. There were some “show only” people online saying they knew Rhaegar’s first son was named Aegon. Maybe they just knew from looking up stuff on Rhaegar though and not from the show.
Either way, I’m not too happy with the name. I mean, it’s pretty obvious foreshadowing considering the first Aegon was the one to conquer Westeros.
Hugely disappointed, specifically that they mangled the whole white walkers breaking the wall stuff.

This was great setup. This undead dragon is bunch of BS
That was not a satisfying ending. The smartest schemer, he outplays everyone, starts the war that shapes the whole series, plays everyone like pawns because… He wants to marry the daughter of the woman he loved? Nah. He should’ve had a better end motivation. Some of the theories were crazy. Him wanting to beat the god’s of that world with convoluted schemes. And he misses the fact that Ramsay was a psycho? And he got played by the girls and didn’t factor in brans magic ability that he saw earlier? So unsatisfying. Only slightly ironic part was the knife, but that wasn’t that great. Sad.
Loved how Sansa and Arya played Littlefinger.
Loved the preview to Clegane Bowl and how the Hound and Briene seem to have reconciled.
Loved Danys entrance on dragonback.
Loved the wight demonstration.
Loved Jaime staying true to his sword’s namesake: “Oathkeeper.”
Wonder if Beric and/or Tormund survived the Wall crash.
Wonder when Jon will find out that he is Aegon of House Targaryen, the Sixth of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.
Regarding Rhaegar, was that the same actor who played Viserys? I didn’t expect the look-alike.
Night kings been working his cleans and jerks for a couple thousand years man.
Rhaegar and viserys are brothers and all. But ya thought he’d be more buff.
a supposed evil genius that got played by two girls in their supposed teens. lol
In Hannibal, the show, in part of it Hannibal is being questioned about how he wanted to live fully and thus he was willing to risk everything in order to do so. I feel like LF should be similar, willing to put everything on the line, so as to not have any regrets. The “chaos is a ladder” badass from earlier who should have been one of the most powerful political forces in westeros. Not this ineffectual, cowardly guy.
The show has a way of taking characters and making them ineffectual. Like how stannis baratheon was dumbed down from the greatest military strategist in westeros to stanley barton, who marched on winterfell with no forward scouts, whos base got blown up, who got rekt royally etc. The show just really scales back the character development and the more interesting characters into these unimpressive people.
Jon’s parents were already revealed the episode before. Why did you predict it for this one?
^ The whole script up to the end of the show was already leaked. Why should we care about people’s predictions?
Edit: Unitentional possible spoiler. My bad.
Viewers believing/knowing that Jon is the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna is not the same as the other characters knowing it. When it would be revealed on the show was what I was predicting. Most people believed/knew the Wall would come down at some point too, but no one was sure exactly when it would happen. I thought that’s how next season would open, not how this season would end.
I’ve not read the leaked scripts. I watched the prematurely aired episode last week, but made that clear to everyone here and didn’t comment on the episode until after it aired at its correct time.
STL please edit your comment… can we try to keep the leaked stuff out of the thread please?
Bran is my new favorite character.
Bran: “Sansa, you were so beautiful the night of your wedding.”
Bran: “We have to tell Jon who his parents are before he screws his aunt. He has to know.”
Bran: “Sam, it was a beautiful day when your family was consumed by dragonfire. You were beautiful making love with Gilly.”
Sorry about that. I didn’t really think it was a spoiler since it didn’t happen, but better to err on the side of caution.
No worries. I kind of skimmed the comment so I didn’t take in the whole message but I’d rather not have seen it.
It seems there was some confusion on whether Beric/Tormund died - I thought it was pretty clear they were on a western section of the wall and that they survived. They could traverse the Wall and get to Castle Black likely before the NK reaches it with his forces. Which begs the question, should the NK even attack Castle Black? Given doesn’t really have to protect his flank, he could just march south to Winterfell and send a small force to Castle Black. Or he could just fly Articuno over and blitz the place just as easily. The Northern defense is in a pretty precarious position IMO. Strategic thoughts?
^ As we did not actually see Tormund and Beric die, I’m assuming they did not.
