Heard this theory the other day on the Bald Moves podcast and thought "oh ****" --

Did anyone notice that Drogon was injured in the same way that Khal Drogo, his namesake, was injured? In the right shoulder. Could Drogon's injury fester in the same way that Drogo's did, leading to his demise? Would be one way for a dragon to go down this season.

There are some far out there projections about how things are going to go down. I assume that a few of you have actually now read the online information about the rest of the season.

How many of you think that 1 or 2 or the bold prognosticators have actually read the plot lines and are setting themselves up for being correct?

I say 2 or 3 for sure.

---

If this **** about Bran being the Night King and/or Bran the Builder ends up correct, I am going to be pissed.

---

Bran the builder built the wall to protect men from the Night King. He can't be both.

Also, why would Bran being the Night King make any sense? How would that relation have anything to do with anything else?

Someone remind me what Sam did with the valerian blade he stole from his old man. Is he using it to open up letters or what?

It's a stretch to say it'd make sense, but in the books...

While on his way north, Bran Stark recalls stories told to the Stark children of Night's King and the Nightfort by Old Nan, servant in Winterfell. She said some people believe Night's King was a Bolton, a Magnar of Skagos, an Umber, a Flint, a Norrey, or a Woodfoot. However, she identifies Night's King as a Stark of Winterfell and brother to the King of Winter and suggests his name was Brandon.

In the books, isn't the Night's King differen than in the show? Like, he was a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and not necessarily a white walker? I don't really remember.

By the way, not really sure why we are spoiler-tagging this stuff.

I wondered about this too, but the show creator in the "special features" said something that made me think otherwise. He said that the arrow was like a wake up call that Danny and the dragons will have to be aware of moving forward. That wouldn't seem to me to be something that makes the dragon's life in danger.

We'll see though. It would suck for the dragon to have been poisoned from this.

---

I'm pretty sure Khal got injured on HIS left shoulder

Dont let a witch treat the wound with horse turds, hay, and saliva.

---

Wait you mean all natural treatments are not effective?! Blasphemy!

---

You should listen to the British History Podcast's episodes on Anglo Saxon medicine. They've done studies and horse dung actually is effective at treating wounds.

Maybe it was the saliva that did Drogo in.

Who alive actually knows who he is? Arya, the red lady and davos?

I guess little finger and varys know of his existence but using those two to reintroduce him would be a stretch.

Davos and arya seem like the only two likely to interact with him.

There are roughly 17 items made of Valyrian steel noted through season 6. Seems like a lot to me for something that is so rare.

---

The only ones we have seen in the show are

• Ice (then reforged into widows wail and oathkeeper)
• Longclaw (Jon's sword)
• Heartsbane (The tarly sword)
• The dagger

I believe that is all the ones we know about that people still have.

So you think that 5-6 of these Valyrian weapons in ALL of Westeros is a lot?

---

• Ice, the ancestral greatsword of House Stark. Captured by House Lannister when Eddard Stark was taken prisoner, and used by Ilyn Payne to behead Lord Stark at Joffrey Baratheon's command. After the Red Wedding and defeat of House Stark, Tywin Lannister had it melted down into two smaller longswords, one given to his son, Jaime, the other to his grandson, Joffrey Baratheon.
  
  • Oathkeeper, the first longsword made from Ice. Given by Jaime Lannister to Brienne of Tarth, who now wields it in service to Sansa Stark.
  • Widow's Wail, the second longsword made from Ice. Given to Joffrey Baratheon as a wedding gift. Currently in the possession of Jaime Lannister.
• Longclaw, the ancestral sword of House Mormont, given by Jeor Mormont to Jon Snow.
• Heartsbane, the ancestral sword of House Tarly, taken by Samwell Tarly before leaving for Oldtown.
• Lady Forlorn, the ancestral sword of House Corbray.
• A Valyrian steel dagger wielded by an assassin who attempts to kill Bran Stark with it. It previously belonged to Petyr Baelish, but he claims he lost it in a bet to Tyrion Lannister. However, the ownership of the dagger when it was used by the assassin is never firmly established in the TV series. In addition to the Valyrian steel blade, it also boasts a handle of dragonbone. Littlefinger apparently recovered the valuable blade from Ned's chambers, and years later attempted to ingratiate himself with Ned's son Bran by giving it to him as a gift. Given that Bran is crippled from the waist down, he felt the blade would be wasted on him, so he in turn gave it to his recently returned sister Arya Stark, who now carries it (as a backup weapon beside her main sword, the rapier Needle, which is made of regular steel).

• Blackfyre, the ancestral sword of House Targaryen, once wielded by Aegon the Conqueror, lost during the Blackfyre Rebellion.
• Dark Sister, a longsword of House Targaryen, held by Visenya Targaryen, lost during the Blackfyre Rebellion.
• Brightroar, the ancestral sword of House Lannister, lost by King Tommen II Lannister on his expedition to Valyria

I suppose you are right about the first point, but don't Jamie, Brienne, and Jon fight with theirs? I guess none of those are THEIR ancestral swords so they don't mind as much if they get lost in battle.
