What if the reason the NK didn't go after Drogon is because he really wants to marry Dany?

The NK is actually Dany's mother

Overthinking ITT once again. I can't imagine that the stupid-ass showrunners have a coherent theory of wights/walkers/zombies. They simply needed a cliffhanger to end the show and the dragon eye opening blue was it -- with no more thought or depth than that, insofar as I can tell. I'd love to be proven wrong but I am going to dumb my expectations down the rest of the way.

yeah, the dragon is the same thing as the polar bear - I guess they're wights, although I thought that was a term for former people

one thing I don't get is how the wight that got into castle black and attacked jon snow was so much more powerful than these paper mache type wights we see now. are their "super-wights"?

Maybe just fresher and less decayed?

Except he did chuck a spear at her as they flew away. Maybe just flirting?

I like the whole NK as "why don't chicks like nice, quiet guys with deep blue eyes?" angle

Game of Thrones has a lot of characters named after an ancestor. For example, there were at least 5 people over the generations named Aegon. In Stark lore Brandon has been common and significant. The NK might be a Stark, and if he is, it would be no surprise that his name is Bran. Over the centuries nearly every Brandon Stark's life and/or death has greatly affected the Seven Kingdoms.

Eddard Stark's son Bran Stark is at least number Bran V "The 3 Eyed Raven."

If I recall correctly, House Stark was founded by Brandon the Builder proving how powerful that name is to the family.

What was the thing that opened season 1 by killing ser waymar royce and caused the watch guy to desert, only to be killed by Ned? Was that a wight?

Whitewalker

White walkers and wights are pretty easy to distinguish. Just in how they look, dress, and carry themselves.

White walkers bodies are completely intact and they still have intellect and consciousness. From what we've seen only living beings can become white walkers.

Wights are dead things that been reanimated and appear to be mostly mindless minions of the WWs.

I always wanted a remake of Heat Miser and Cold Miser from a Year without a Santa Claus but i did not expect it to come in a GOT finale. I hope the dragons sing the song.

for a 68 year old man George is super passive aggressive

"I don't have time to watch season 7", lol

They all do from what I can tell...the ones with eyes at least.

Yeah, you're right. I just listened super close for the first time and it's not "the", it's "a" for sure.

It seems like WWs have a crisper, deeper blue for eye color too.

What I want to know is how to tell the difference between a baby that was touched and a dragon that was touched? The baby had that wrinkly WW skin afterwards.

I don't remember the NK creating anything but Walkers. He raised the whole army of dead Wights, but only turned a baby and a dragon so far, right?

Regular WWs make Wights.

It's like a White Walker pyramid scheme.

And they turned a bear, and ice spiders as big as hounds....

A pyramid ecosystem.

If Jon could miraculously bring everybody on board against the dead, the living would still be the favorite to win as of now, right? Even with 2:1 dragons, it still feels like people have the edge.

I wonder what it would take to quickly balance the sides. (Wall down, key conversions, etc.)

Any semi-competent human army could surely wipe out the WWs in a strategic battle setting, but the dead don't fight among themselves so...

Speculation below about an event that may or may not occur in this Sunday's episode, no spoilers, speculation only.

Bovada posted a prop line on this possible fan favorite event:

I already said it last week but Cleganebowl has to be 100% happening now. These show writers won't be able to resist the fan service.

Am hoping next weeks finale is worth the hype. GOT doesn't usually let us down.

I think one of the major characters could die. Hopefully Cersi.

!

Only 7 left, even as fast as this season is moving people gotta start dying.

My guesses:

Cersei sets wildfire trap for Daenerys at meeting arena. Sandor fights Gregor. Since Sandor's goal seems to be just to kill Gregor, and Sandor's life doesn't really serve any other narrative purpose by now, I predict that both Sandor and Gregor die, but Sandor dies last and gets his victory over his brother before dying. Later, when Cersei triggers wildfire trap and Jaime hears her say "burn them all" or equivalent, he goes Queenslayer (RIP Qyburn), but dies in the arena that day as well, leaving the Seven Kingdoms in the hands of Daenerys, Jon Snow, Tyrion, etc. Next season, Daenerys and Jon Snow go North to battle the White Walkers.
