    Not that there's any excuse for it, but the dragons were surprised the first time. And Rhaegal's damaged wings couldn't allow it to maneuver well enough to dodge further hits. Even surprised, Drogon was never hit, even when Dany charged directly at the ships. He was able to dodge all of the...

    This picture is a still from a promotional clip. In the actual scene, it's a tighter shot from a slightly different angle and his golden hand is clearly visible.

    We should have seen this coming in season 7 when they decided to ignore any aspect of travel time and starting having characters teleport all over the map to be at their appointed locations. The last two seasons have been about getting to the scene/set piece without having done enough foundation...

    I was relieved that after so many fumbled attempts at strategy (such as, "charge blindly at the unknown enemy"), they finally had a plan of attack, taking advantage of the limited maneuverability of the scorpions. Drogon came in high enough that they couldn't get a shot at him, then flies low to...

    Not all Targareans are immune to fire and heat, otherwise Viserys would have survived molten gold being poured on his head. Danerys has this special ability that had been foreshadowed multiple times before the dragons hatching at the end of season one. Meanwhile, Jon burned he hand when fighting...

    That was the most confusing part. It wasn't very clear that Jon was right outside the Godswood and that Viserion was blocking his path. Perhaps a reverse shot from the Godswood showing blue flames in the background would have helped make that connection. I just thought Jon was trying to kill the...

    If you watch that scene from around when the Night King finally stops right in front of Bran, it cuts to Jon who comes out from behind cover directly in front of Viserion and yells, "GO GO GO!" He's yelling at Arya, who is off-screen and distracting Viserion, who is guarding the entrance of the...

    I can't remember where, but I read an article that pointed out that the Night's King was not supposed to be the final battle but rather the catalyst to bring all the characters together in the North. The resolution to who sits on the Iron Throne and why begins in earnest.

    It was revealed in the premiere of season 6 that Melisandre was actually a very old woman (the showrunners say she's centuries old) and her youthful appearance was the product of magic from the necklace. While I think that there could have been more moving parts to make it a more interesting...

    Does not include the Tyrion-Sansa marriage. Also missing Robert's Bastards, most notably Gendry. Also, what's the timeline for Rhaegar's marriage to Lyanna and The Mountain killing Elia Martell and her children? Is bigamy okay in Westeros or does the timeline allow for Jon/Aegon to be the...

    Does Danerys have the authority to pardon Jorah? She's more of a self-declared queen at this point. However, I was rewatching season one, and Jorah was pardoned by King Robert for his role in eliminating Danerys (which clearly did not happen). I was wondering if they were going to have Jorah...
