If Viserion is undead and rotting, which he is as you can see the holes in his wings, wouldn't it be very hard for him to maintain altitude?
This is fan art because I couldn't find an actual image from episode 7 online.
In Season 7 Episode 6, The Night King killed Viserion and turned him into an undead dragon.
In the finale, the Night King rode on Viserion's back to The Wall, where Viserion proceeded to breathe blue fire upon it, eventually melting and toppling it. This allowed the army of White Walkers and wig...
In Season 7 finale Bran told Samwell about secret of Jon Snow.
But why Samwell?
Why Bran is not sharing this information with Sansa , Afterall she is her sister and more over she is the Lady of Winterfell for now.
He does not share this detail even with Arya Stark.
whats in his mind by n...
In some questions (see this one, for instance) it is reported that, according to what was stated in the books and proved in the TV show, a white walker can be killed using a weapon that was forged with dragon fire:
obsidian
fire itself
(possibly) Valyrian steel
However, due to the events happ...
"Robert will never keep to one bed," Lyanna had told him at Winterfell, on the night long ago when their father had promised her hand to the young Lord of Storm's End. "I hear he has gotten a child on some girl in the Vale."
So here's what I am going to do Ned, just because Robert won't stay loyal to one woman, I am gonna run away with Rhaegar, a man already married with two children.
The Night's king was given a gift when the dragons attacked and he was able to convert it making the assault on the wall far easier.
Now his army travels south and he has the advantage to scout and see further ahead than before when he was just on horse back.
But the question is what is his obje...
In Game of Thrones Season 7
So, while it's not clear whether this will persist
but that makes you wonder... Valyrians, or at least Targaryens (historically) do not forbid sibling marriage, and incest, at least among nobles. But what about in the environments in which
i.e. in the North, a...
In the Game of Thrones series, seanson 7, episode 7, we saw Jaime riding his horse and heading somewhere, where is he heading to? and why he covered his right hand? if it is because it is cold, his hand is made of gold, so why he coverred it?
I have seen some fan theories claim that the NK has foresight abilities similar to Bran's, and that
Entertaining this possibility, to what extent can the NK use his foresight abilities? Can he predict the outcome of the great war to come where he loses or triumphs?
Spoilers for the Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones, "The Dragon and the Wolf".
At the end of the episode through one of Bran's visions we learn that:
While we knew that Jon was the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark why would
This just seems confusing...
@JonathonWisnoski Disagree. Children wouldn't lose legitimacy because of a change in marital status after they are born. Also, they share the same father, so they are brothers.
@kuhl "Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. Unlike divorce, it is usually retroactive, meaning that an annulled marriage is considered to be invalid from the beginning almost as if it had never taken place" No, the first Aegon is defiantly a bastard, and for all intents and purposes has no rights over any Targaryens. Jon Snow was no Stark, That is why they called him snow, it would be no different for Aegon Waters. Jon would have to die for Waters to ever has mattered.
@JonathonWisnoski Jon Snow not being a Stark did not mean that he was not considered a brother to Robb Stark. Similarly even if we do imagine that annulment works in Westeros like it did in Medieval Europe (Which it doesn't...at all....), Both Aegons would still be half brothers as their father remains the same.
In real Westeros, Annulment can be granted if and only if the marriage hasn't been consummated, precisely to avoid cases such as this. If there are children, the marriage can't be annulled as it is not unconsummated. This was just a silly show ploy to make Jon legitimate. Targs like Aegon I and Maegor I have practiced polygamy so they could have shown Rhaegar married to both Lyanna and Elia but no, they don't feel happy unless they make a huge mess of things.
This may spoil your finale
In "The Dragon and the Wolf" (Game of Thrones, S07E07), In final,
Conversation between Cersei and Jammie has taken place. In that Jammie tell Cersei to give order and Cersei nod in affirmative as if she agreed to kill Jamie as she find him disloyal.
Even Mountain ta...
In the finale of season 7 of Game of Thrones,
What struck me as odd is that no one near Cersei seemed to even try to get between her and her attacker, who started running from a considerable distance (spoiler link). Even the Mountain barely moved, who is arguably the most unstoppable man-shap...
@Skooba I think it's because it might lead to a marital alliance between Starks and Targs, something Which Cersei will be really mad at, therefore could prejudice the fragile peace that Tyrion won
But eh who knows
Would be really weird if they show that Tyrion wants to be King Consort
Especially since Tyrion knew that Dany has teh feels for Jon, and he was taking it very lightly, looking amused.
@Aegon I think she still does and it is what gets her killed.
My wife said she thinks Euron will bring the Golden Company back, but then go North with them because there was a behind the scenes quote that says "Yes Euron really was terrified"
@Skooba I thought the actor confirmed he was dead, but then they confirmed Jon was dead sooo... For all we know there's a limping dog Stannis hanging out somewhere.
@TheLethalCoder Yeah, Brienne confirmed it too though.... and the whole thing with Jon was "Of course he is dead, he really was dead, but he got better"
@Skooba She's trying to get under Dany's skin as Dany says herself "This place was the beginning of the end for my family." If she truly believed it was a trap she wouldn't have agreed to the meeting.
And would have had a considerable amount of soldiers around instead of the handful she had.
@TheLethalCoder it was a pretty good place to compromise on IMO, outside the city proper so Jon/Dany dont feel like it is a trap, but close enough to the city where Cersei can feel safe and easily bring her guards.
The one rule Cersei should have had was NO DRAGONS
@Skooba That's another good point I'll edit that into my answer. And yeah though OOU the show likes to show the dragons as it will doubtless bring more people to view it.
@Aegon Haha! Yours is a good answer though I somehow missed that the Red Keep was in the background, or I saw it subconsciously. I just wanted to point out that the other part was about the main group rather than the army.
@Aegon Do you have any insight on the "Why didn't they mine dragonglass earlier?" question? Every scenario I can think of doesn't seem to plausible. The only thing that really makes sense is Edlothiad's comment that they've always been busy but that doesn't really fall in line with Sam's later revelation about discovering where you can mine it.
@TheLethalCoder In the recent seasons, I tend to whine rather than pay attention to the seasons so pardon me. Probably there is some answer, but not one that I know of.
Yeah I couldn't find any either. Nothing falls in line with Sam's character and his revelation. I haven't re watched the scene as I'm at work but if it was a flippant comment could be that Sam just forgot.
We obviously know that The Mountain is in the Queensguard but do we know any of the other members in it?
Can we assume that those that were in Joffery's/Tommen's Kingsguard and were still alive at the time Cersei was made queen are in it?
(Note, I added the "Season 6 Finale" as a way for people to identify that there are spoilers coming if they have not the episode yet)
Now to the question...
During the scene where Cersei sits on the Iron Throne and is "sworn in" we see her escorted by seven members of the Kingsguard. Now this ...
(Final season 7 episode spoiler) In the season finale, we find out that Rhaegar's youngest son's given name at birth is:
Were the names of the other children ever explicitly stated in the show (not the books)?
Thoughts on what Cersei's strategy might be now we know she lied about collaborating with Dany? Take Dragonstone with the Golden Company & secure the supply of dragon glass?
In episode S07E07, "The Wolf and the Dragon", Littlefinger was in a trial, accused by Sansa and Bran of many crimes that he has committed against the Stark family and eventually was sentenced to death. But they didn't show any evidence or proof of Sansa's accusations. He could easily denied every...
@RobertF Also I doubt Euron will betray Cersei unless he thinks he has a chance with Dany, which I doubt he believes. He wants to climb up the ladder and since he has sisded with Cersei betraying her would only move him off of it.
@TheLethalCoder Yes, that's what I'm thinking, and recruit more soldiers. Plus task Clyburn with building more ballistas, brewing more greek fire, and creating more zombie soldiers.
He hired a band of sellswords, who then broke their contract and left prior to the battle at Winterfell. So maybe not the Golden Co if they have a reputation of sticking with their contracts.
Initially, I thought the best strategy against the Night King's army would be either hit & run attacks from a safe distance with dragon glass tipped arrows, or else lure them into a trap. The wights seem to attack on impulse, so wouldn't be hard to draw them into a prepared field or ditch soaked in flammable oil. But now that the NK has the dragon, he has both air power and a means of sniffing out any traps.
However Dany still outnumbers him 2:1 with dragons.
There's also the danger the NK will avoid a pitched battle and instead disperse his white walkers and wights into independent groups that attack the settlements of the north.
In fact it may not be the undead army but the cold & lack of food that does in most inhabitants of Westeros.
Yes. One scene I'm looking forward to next season: when Jaime meets Bran (assuming Jaime is heading north to Winterfell). Will Jaime be repentant? How will Bran react seeing Jaime again after all that's happened? Will he forgive Jaime? Will he thank Jaime for inadvertently awakening Bran's greensight & warging powers?
In the Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones,
Just before she goes down to the Dragonpit, she gives the Mountain (Ser Gregor Clegane) a set of instructions:
So we know that number 2 was Tyrion, and number 3 was Jon Snow. But who was the first?
I know, it might seem obvious that she was talkin...
Wouldn't it be ironic if Bran used his greensight or warging powers to defeat the Night King, & thus in a way, by pushing Bran out the window, Jaime set in motion a series of events that ended up saving Westeros!
It's looking grim for Tormund Giantsbane, alas I don't think we'll be treated to a Tormund-Brienne hookup next season.
Next best thing: a steamy sex scene between Brienne and Sandor Clegane.
I'd like to see the Night King's character fleshed out a bit more next season, and the White Walkers and wights as well. Does the NK talk with the WWs? Communicate telepathically? Do the wights have a "life"?
In Game of Thrones' season 7 finale,
What events led the Stark children to deduce Littlefinger's plans? — obviously at least some degree of Greensight is to thank, as implied by Bran saying
However, there is at least some suggestion that Arya knows more than what she says even before that m...
It is clearly said in the Game of Thrones series that fire destroys wights.
Also it is known that dragonglass and valyrian steel can destroy both wights and white walkers.
Can white walkers also be destroyed by fire like the wights?
The Unsullied were stuck on Casterly Rock the last time we saw them. This episode showed them stand around the castle in King's Landing.
How did they get there?
Just like the topic says, I am curious to see if there is any information on this notion. Most of my friends who watched thought it was a great (though predicable) season finale, to which, we all expected those events to happen.
However, I have 1 friend who thought it was a terrible finale and ...
I'm reading Dune for the first time. I'm liking it. I wanted to ask a question about it, but I don't want any spoilers. I do intend to read the whole series over the next year, so I may get my answer eventually. Here's the question:
What does it mean to be "human" in Dune?
Can that be answered without spoilers?
I'm intrigued by one of the opening scenes that quotes the OC Bible "Thou shalt not make a machine in the image of a mind", which is corrected as a human mind.
I'm further intrigued by Paul snapping at Jessica when she tries to tell him that he "should not call all person 'human' unless ..."
@Jolenealaska But is a spoiler necessary to answer the question? I can wait patiently until I get to that part, but I'm wondering if I missed something in my reading thus far.
In Season 7 Episode 7, it was revealed that:
But if this is the case then;
My question is primarily about GoT but I've tagged it a-song-of-ice-and-fire in case the books provide useful details on succession rules.
The question is quite simple, does Jaime Lannister have any claim to the Iron Throne? In other words, how far down in the succession is he?
After all, his sister is currently the Queen, so if she dies does he get the Throne? The succession is not quite clear, but Jaime is related to the current ...
