Why this mofo haven't talked about his wife since like season 2? Davos wife must be the worst. This dude is out getting into everyone's war just to avoid going back home.

Pretty sure he's just trying to avoid her, kind of like my uncle that has been avoiding his wife by playing golf on both Saturdays and Sundays for 40 years.

He's pretty good too.  In his mid 70s now and has something like a 4 handicap. Was a scratch golfer when I was a kid.

Davos is already married 

Yeah, but not to another man.

Sir Davos will marry _______,,,  wait, there's only 3 women left on the show now I think (Arya, Stanza, and Danrys).  Maybe Davos marries Sam and they take the throne together.

All of theses people are really bad to one another.  Maybe they just deserve to be killed as quickly as possible. Maybe the dragon will eat Dany in the last scene to put a nice big bow on this thing.

Edit: Dragon also needs to eat Sam and Jilly to really give some finality here

Well... It's like an article I read about socialist coups.  Everyone one of them starts with a charismatic liberator dressed in work clothes who ends his reign dressed like he's Captain Crunch.  Figuratively so here, of course.

So...  I know this may have been discussed ad nauseum in this chain, but what is Buck Showalter up to these days?  This team is not in a rebuilding mode with the talent is has right now.  Time to find someone to right this ship.  While a manager in baseball might not "matter" as much as in other sports, namely football and basketball, I think it still makes a significant difference.  Buck has a track record of success and seems to be consumed by his coaching responsibilities and establishing a winning culture where ever he goes.

Elilia Clarke trolls all the people furious about the coffee cup controversy.  

 

Rock on Emilia.  Rock on...

 

EDIT: Kit is actually promoting the good.  

 

 

I didn't realize that Emilia Clarke was also a midget.  Maybe that goes to my theory that the Targaryons and Lannisters are all secretly offspring of the Ned Stark's father.

Another one bites the dust I guess.  Falwell is a litigious fellow (recall his lawsuit against Penthouse), so I maybe he'll sue Tom Arnold.

I’m still pissed about the episode, literally for 10 years they’ve been building up “ winter is coming “ and it comes and goes in 1 hour. It gets worse the more I think about it, what a real lame ending that was. I wish I could defend it like some of you. 

I agree it seemed a bit too "simple" even though an entire episode was dedicated to the battle.  Basically the same amount of time was dedicated to the battle with the Wildlings, which are all but forgotten now.

Perhaps there's some sort of catch here, like a contingent of WWs that remained behind the wall and therefore were not instantly shattered due to some sort of metaphysical barrier.  Maybe his soul was transferred somewhere else because a soul cannot be "killed."  Or maybe there is another character lurking in plain sight that was acting through the NK all along, and represents the true pinnacle of evil.

I was happy when he died.  He became annoying to me for some reason but I can't really pinpoint why lol.

He always wore skirts.  Don't know if he even owned a damn pair of trowsers.

Because over the course of the entire show, people have died. Important people. It just doesn't make sense that the biggest battle in the show's history has no major deaths.

One thing you have to consider is that prior major character deaths (for the most part, I may miss a couple) occurred outside of the context of battle.  So the deaths were written into the script for more personal reasons than simply that the enemy got em.  It wouldn't have made sense to see Sansa get ripped apart by a WW while running around in the crypt.  Jorah's death was appropriate for the character, but how many "i'm defending the weaker/more important guy" deaths can you really have in a large battle scene?  I almost expect the Hound to save Arya, but that was the eye-patch guy's territory. And the Night's Watch lieutenant guy save Sam.  So you had at least 3. I think that was enough.

I think it will be much more satisfying to see them get picked off one by one in an appropriate manner.

One other thought here....  As far as a battle plan, having a ring of firewood isn't a bad idea.  However, as a defensive strategy it only saves time.  Their time may have been better spent building a large moat around the castle due to the fact that WWs can't swim, then perhaps have some oil pre-poured into the moat and light it on fire if any of them try to angle siege ladders against the wall from the other side of the moat. 

Then again, I guess getting enough water to fill a moat to that location could present problems.  Or if it froze...  Maybe pour salt or whiskey into the moat too to keep it from freezing right away.

Has anyone taken account of the character or groups that died last night?  I'll start, could be wrong about a few of these though:

(1) All of the dothraki

(2) Sir Jorah

(3) Theon

(4) The Red Lady

(5) Mormont Girl

(6) Night Watch lieutenant guy

(7) Sam and Gillie (please please please....)

(8) Brianee of Tarth (not sure)

(9) Jaime Lannister (not sure)

(10) Dany's dragon (not sure)

(11) Night King

(12) Eye patch guy with 9 lives

(13) Wildling guy that likes Brianne (not sure)

So we saw a few of these characters at the end looking like they were getting backed up against a wall and torn apart, but nothing definitive.  I though I saw Sam get through into a mob of the dead, and Gillie got dragged away.

I started watching game of thrones 7 weeks ago and yes them forming some kind of republic would be predictable. 

I binge watched the whole series seasons 1-7 last year.  Afterwards all I could say was damn I have no idea what just happened

She can't be a Stark, but for book readers there's some stories about the Mad King's wife supposedly having an affair with someone (a priest of the Seven, if I remember right)

 

In other words, Jon would be the true king while Dany turns out to be the ****.  

So was the Mad King's wife also a blood Targeryan? (i.e. incest).  Dany has resistance to heat, but how can she then be a Stark....  Unless, both families have been wrong all of this time and the Starks are really the Targeryans!!!

Here's what I expect:  Ned was the true son of the Mad King's father, and the Mad King was actually the son of the man who Ned though was his father (i.e., Grandpa Stark).  That way Jon is not a blood Targeryan because Dany's brother was also a Stark fathered by Ned, and Dany would then also be Ned's daughter and she would (in a somewhat roundabout way) be a blood Targeryan because Ned was the true Targeryan all along!!

How is she a stark?

I don't know yet.  Perhaps we'll find out this Sunday.

So can the two living dragons mate to make new dragons?

Also, will Danrys discover that she's really a Stark?
