I've never found Dany more unlikeable than I did in this episode. First of all, she really showed her true colors to Sansa when she asked what would happen to the North if they survive the NK and Dany takes the throne? She couldn't even muster an "I need to think about it."?!? Her disgust at the thought of not ruling ALL SEVEN kingdoms was written all over her face.
And her reaction to Jon was telling as well. Lady, the army of the dead is literally at the gates and you're still *****ing about your claim to the throne! Wtf? Her priorities are ridiculous.

That was an hour long tease and I kind of feel like that's 2 episodes of mostly nothing going on and we have so little left.
Feel like there is so little screen time left and they are squandering it with so much to cover.
I don't understand this sentiment. It seems PERFECTLY paced to me so far...
Episode 1 = Setting the Table / Reunions
Episode 2 = Solidifying Bonds & Emotional Stakes
Episode 3 = Battle of Winterfell Part 1
Episode 4 = Battle of Winterfell Part 2
Episode 5 = King's Landing Part 1
Episode 6 = King's Landing Part 2 / Winner takes the throne
What more story do you need?
- Episode 1: David Nutter
- Episode 2: David Nutter
- Episode 3: Miguel Sapochnik
- Episode 4: David Nutter
- Episode 5: Miguel Sapochnik
- Episode 6: David Benioff and Dan Weiss
Sapochnik is the one that directs the epic battles scenes. I don't think the battle next week bleeds into Episode 4.

There is only one way Deny will accept Jon is a Targarion. He has to prove he is Dragon born. She has to see him burn and come out alive on the other side.
Only then will she accept his birthright.
that is my theory.

I feel like Jon's reaction to being a Targaryen is very out of character. The whole time he has only cared about loyalty and saving the World from The Army of the Dead. He pledged himself to Daenerys. Telling her about his heritage is just going to cause additional headaches during the battle. To stay consistent, Jon should just say, "F the crown. You can have it if we kill the Night King."
Except I don't think all Targaryens are fire proof.Kill Switch said:

What reaction had he had, though? This is Jon being consistent. He knows it will cause extra strife, but he tells her anyway. Just like when he told Cersei he already pledged to Dany. All he did was tell her, he didn't say his claim was better, she brought that up. I still don't think he really cares.

Also, tonight's episode was EASILY one of the best of the series. They perfectly played our heartstrings in order to be able to fully and effectively rip our hearts out over the next two episodes. I, like others here have stated, teared up two or three times, and I can't remember the last time I did that during an episode of television. Just brilliant, heartwarming (and heartbreaking, knowing what's coming) stuff. I've never felt so anxious yet so sentimental watching TV as I did tonight. That was eight years of relationships paid off so incredibly, satisfyingly well.
If you didn't like tonight's episode, you can't possibly be a fan of what it is that makes this series so damn good.
I had the same feeling but about Jon.TCTTS said:Agoodlittleag04 said:

This is EXACTLY what they want you to feel in this episode. Another reason it was so brilliant. Dany has been LASER FOCUSED this ENTIRE series on the throne. And it hit me tonight what her arc has been building to this whole time... she will, at the very end, give up that pursuit. Dany will give up the throne. My guess is she sacrifices herself, at the very last minute, in some noble way to allow either Jon or someone else to take the throne. I'm so certain of it that I'm almost mad I didn't see how obvious it is; how much they've hammered home her one-track mind season after season. In that regard, the ONLY way for Dany to have a true arc is to give up that pursuit for some greater good. In fact, I'll bet anyone here $1000 that, in the end, she has the opportunity to take the throne, but ultimately decides not to, likely in some noble/heartbreaking way.

Did anyone else think, after the Arya-Gendry XX scene, that she was trying to have the Hound as her first experience, but was blocked by Beric Dondarian showing up? Feeling frustrated, she goes to look for Gendry, hoping he was experienced enough.

A lot of people see this happening, myself included.

There have been countless signs. Most notably, when she burned the Tarly's.
