In which RLJ, I'm guessing.

I've just shifted my expectations and perspective to look at the show as it's own work separate, but inspired by GRRM.

We know its coming.We really shouldn't be surprised when they drop "the bomb."
But,I agree with Mel.Its their interpretation of GRRM's work.Some things may show up in the books,other things nahhh.

I'm watching reruns and thinking they're setting up Dany and Jon as siblings/twins, so the shock for the show will not be RLJ but RLJD. Maybe there's a reason after all why the actress who played Lyanna on her death bed looks so much like Emilia Clarke.

Tormund wants to make babies with Brienne - great big monster babies that conquer the world.
Cersei is pregnant with Ser Robert Gregor Clegane Strong's baby.

About to sit down and watch....Mr. Pig's brother and kids drove in for a surprise visit this weekend, so I have had 3 7yos, a 5yo, and a 4.5 yo running around all day. Now they are all asleep and the house is blissfully quiet. GoT time!

Luke and Leia. No doubt in my mind at all. And not just one ice dragon but two. The other one is their dad, Rhaegar the "Knight" king. So LOJ and RLJ but LOJD/RLJD.

I always thought the actress that plays Meera looks a good bit like Jon, which is where I thought the secret twin thing might be going. And was it just me or did Jon's eyes look a bit bluish when he woke up to see Dany?

Even Mr. Pig is sitting there with this skeptical look on his face like, really. "Man, Jon has the +50 Buoyance and the +100 Cold Resistance." Me: "And Unlimited Plot Armor." Did anyone catch Jorah's "You don't look much like your father; must look like your mother" line to Jon? WHAT THE HELL. I mean, we only have five freaking books telling us how much Jon resembles Ned, but the guy who reported up to Ned and fought alongside him in battle is all, "Ooh yeah, no resemblance." And Sidhe made of ice sure do have access to some mad chain. Did they dredge that up from the bottom of the Blackwater without us knowing?

I believe it came from the oil riggers and steam ships of the first men that got stranded in the North during the first Long Night. Overall, pretty good episode, certainly much better than last week...I just have to catch myself being critical of the time element. It took about 30 minutes for: - Gendry to run back to the wall (which would have taken half of this season for the WW'ers to walk)
- A raven to fly all the way to Dragonstone
- Dany to fly her dragons from Dragonstone back North of the Wall
I guess it was important to have Dany ride the ship back with Jon to begin setting the foundation for their feelings towards one another, rather than to fly back to Dragonstone. It was an enchanted moment when Jon woke. Oh, and it does look like the hackers are in deed correct on the leaks. Please don't read those leaks lest you be spoiled. As Melifeather put it...I continue to be entertained and hopefull that the books do not follow this path.

I didn't like this at all.The leaps of logic was too much.
1.Nk walks up to fire two seasons now and they go out before him.Yet he can't freeze an almost frozen lake.so the wights could cross.So much for doing anything with ice.
2.The first Wight that tested the ground was wearing a pair of sneakers.Really,they don't even care.
3.Chains not made of ice.Where they get that crap.And why be afraid of falling into the ice when they apparently went in anyway to attach the chains yo the dragon.
4.Gendry is the flash,the ravens are Sonic and Dany and her Drogon used the Stargate to get beyond the wall.
5.Deus ex machina Dragon.
6.Deus ex machina half dead uncle with a live horse. 7.Plagerized Bear scene from the Revenant.
8.Crappy plan to convince Cersie?
Sigh.

Sigh. Yea, well at least it was worth it. They got a dragon killed and zombiefide just so they can capture a wight to take back to Cersei to convince her to help them fight the Night's King even though everyone deep down knows she really won't give a damn anyway, and she probably doesn't have the right kind of troops to make a difference anyway.

Cersei is pregnant with Ser Robert Gregor Clegane Strong's baby. What? I missed something! Did anyone catch Jorah's "You don't look much like your father; must look like your mother" line to Jon? WHAT THE HELL. I mean, we only have five freaking books telling us how much Jon resembles Ned, but the guy who reported up to Ned and fought alongside him in battle is all, "Ooh yeah, no resemblance." I was shouting that at my tv screen too! lol And Sidhe made of ice sure do have access to some mad chain. Did they dredge that up from the bottom of the Blackwater without us knowing? This. I said to Shane, "where did they get the mother-fucking-huge chain?" 2.The first Wight that tested the ground was wearing a pair of sneakers.Really,they don't even care.
