They keep bringing up all it takes is one arrow to end Dany while she's flying around. This may just be a common sense thing, but also works as foreshadowing for the Night King.
On the one hand that be a little anti-climatic, but then also be kind of awesome if he's just pin-cushioned out of the blue.

For a while I was almost convinced that the wight brought south would stop moving and just become a corpse again, either due to distance from the source of the reanimation or, more hilariously, the white walkers being able to tell where it is and what the living are trying to do with it, and deliberately withdrawing their magic to leave it a simple corpse to fuck with everybody.
Imagine what would have happened if, after all that build-up, the gang just dumped a dead body in front of Cersei and nothing happened. That would have pretty much ended all hopes of unifying the living.
Dany could have just been, "ah, fuck it. Dracarys."
Cersei and Euron would get incinerated and Dany takes over King's Landing.

Might not work against the Night King since he was created by having an obsidian dagger stuck into his heart.
Also, Dany can wear armor. It's already really hard to hit her when she's flying. If she wore plate, she'll be protected even if an arrow hits her.

It kinda seemed like that almost happened too.
My suspicion is that Cersei being pregnant actually set the thing off, it had a lot of potential targets at that meeting but went dead set straight for her.
My reasoning is thus, if these wights hate the living, the act of making a new life must be just one of their biggest pet peeves.

Rewatching, in season 1 those walkers that animate inside castle black? I was curious about those since we've seen wights animated various ways recently. Later in the episode, Sam says "They were touched by white walkers" and says they sleep under the ice for thousands of years. So I guess they killed those guys, "touched" them, then dropped them near the wall. They either animated immediately or waited until later and tried to do some surprise stuff
The latter.
One of the less appreciated side effects of undeath is an impeccable sense of timing. Pop culture always fixates on the non-verbal communication and the insatiable hunger. Sure, they showcase their proficiency with setting up a good jump scare, but where's the show about the undead comedy writer or jazz quartet?

are we meant to believe Arya doesn't realize she could have jaqen kill tywin or the mountain, that she doesn't believe he's capable, or that she reserved their lives for herself?
or that she's somewhat impulsive mixed with not believing or trusting him at first and by the time she is sure he is capable and trustworthy she at 3 and plays her card of giving his name?
been on my mind since I finally read book 2 a few weeks ago and now I'm watching some and it came to me again. don't think there's a solid answer so I'm more curious what everyone thinks.

She didn't think of it at the time. Gendry even makes fun of her because of it afterwards. In the book she's also being personally tormented by one of the names, so she reacts as a little kid might by focusing on her immediate problems and doesn't think of the grand scheme of things.

yeaeh that makes sense to me, just wondering what everyone thought. For as sad and haunting as certain things are to relive through reading and rewatching, this period for her is almost the most difficult as you feel it slip through her fingers without

According to the rules are we still keeping the book behind spoilers? Early book spoiler:
The zombies are pretty unstoppable (sans fire) in the books and they take an animated hand south and it continues to live for several days. But by the time Ser Alliser gets a proper audience it stops.
Also I love book theories concerning Euron. I think this one is way over the top (considering GRRM said we'll never really know which religions are real) but I'm so very excited about The Winds of Winter. The link discusses a Winds preview chapter if you're avoiding those.

What if she falls off?
That's not sexist. That's because Jorah's lot in life is to get the shit end of the stick.
Poor Jorah-chan.

Everyone should read the Temeraire series.

Wait, Kit Harrington's marrying the housemaid from Downton Abbey who went on to be an office worker?
Huh, that came out of no where!
They met on the GoT set. She played Ygritte.
I mean, sure, but they killed her father which seems to be pretty heavily on her mind

For once, I get to use this.

So much for the fucking wall! Holy shit....
Also, Daenerys is banging her nephew but I'm weirdly OK with it.
God, I need season 8 pronto!
Sorry, no can do.
It's basically confirmed for 2019 at this point, Sophie Turner slipped up in an interview saying there wouldn't be any episodes in 2018.

This, right there, is why I'm not reading the GoT books. When I start a book, I like to know that I will be able to read the end someday.
What you've done here is ripped my heart to shreds...
I've read all the books Mr snarky
This is terrible news. I hadn't heard before it would take them two years to do season eight! I need GoT costumes in my life every year.
Westworld s2 this year tho
Yeah they better spend two years worth of budget on it
You haven't read all of the books...
