    Dany was staring into the flames when Jorah walked in her room. Something is up with her and the lord of light.

    theme song from last night...

    DRINK BEFORE THE WAR



    Somebody cut out your eyes
    You refuse to see
    Somebody cut out your heart
    You refuse to feel

    And you live in a shell
    You create your own hell
    You live in the past
    And talk about war

    And you dig your own grave yeah
    But it's a life you can save
    So stop getting fast
    It's not gonna happen

    And you'll cry
    But you'll never fall
    No, no, no
    You're building a wall
    Gotta break it down
    Start again


    No, no, no
    It won't happen to us
    We've lived our lives
    Basically we've been good men

    So stop talking of war
    Cause you know we've heard it all before
    Why don't you go out there
    And do something useful

    Oh listen to the man in the liquor store
    He yelling "anybody want to drink before the war?"
    "Anybody want to drink before the war?"
    "Anybody want to drink before the war?"

    She is trailing and going for that tip in, that putback dunk, that easy layup.

    Rewatched a few scenes today. Man this was a rough episode. Necessary I guess but rough. I feel like it’s going to age as one of the better episodes in TV history from an impact standpoint. We’ve been with these characters for 9-10 years now.

    The way they gave us a final glimpse of them all...just a tough pill to swallow.

    One thing that doesn't sit well with me is the strategy session. Others have brought up, for example, the membership of it (Theon? LOL).

    But the strategy itself, unless I'm missing something, is about at the level of primary schoolers playing capture the flag. Seriously? You have hordes of dothraki and the unsullied and they're going to... what exactly? maybe I missed it.

    It's all about Bran as bait over here and trying to protect the wall over this-a-way, and the dragons hanging out... not too close... but not too far.

    It feels like McHale trying to gameplan against Red Auerbach or something.

    I'm hoping the viewer was kept at a distance on this front on purpose. Perhaps they have some tricks up their sleeve that we are meant to be as surprised by as the Night King? I hope so.

    They have the best eyes in the world to see the Dead from that distance

    They did not seem to have any scouts. Set no real traps further out.
    Their plan seems to be to hunker down and wait until winter is over
    and winter lasts at least a year or two

    Actually you have to carry the flag around to a point. This is where it deviates from the game.

    The moment Night King sees Bran he is probably going to kill the Flag person.

    And there lies the strategy when the Night King is trying to make his kill, the Living should attack him and kill him first.

    Capturing him won't be enough, they got to kill him.

    I may have missed this, but doesn't Gendry have a claim to the Iron Throne?

    Well he's a b*stard. He is not a legitimate heir at the moment.

    He's Robert Baratheon's eldest (b*stard) son. So yeah, he has a claim (as much as a b*stard can anyway).

    I think at this point even a team of lawyers couldn't figure out a proper line of succession for Westeros.

    I assumed they just had the 3-eyed raven, and all his actual birds.
