Dany died surprisingly quickly into the episode. Then again, I guess the majority of the final episode has to be focused on the "ever after".

So the series ends with Westeros becoming essentialy the Holy Roman Empire? Interesting. Altough of course, the system of elective monarchy does have its own flaws as they will find out in due time. (Namely, the Game of Thrones will soon re-emerge over who will get the most support among the elector counts.)

I honestly did not expect Edmure and Sweetrobyn to appear for one final #lolEdmureisfail joke.

Why on Earth would there still be a Night's Watch? There is literally no cause they could possibly serve these days. The Wall is gone, the White Walkers are gone, the Wildlings are gud bois now (btw this is the first time I notice that all things associated with the Watch start with a winter-y "W"), what could they do other than boring themselves to death?

An independent North is fine, but why aren't the Iron Islands independent too? Wasn't that one of the conditions of the Yara-Dany alliance? Btw I find it hard to believe that no Ironborn explorer has ever tried to sail to the west of Westeros. Sorry Arya, but the Vikings were in America before Columbus.

The Dothraki seemed remarkably cool about the whole situation, all things considered. You'd think they'd run amok in the Crownlands and beyond after Dany's death.

Why didn't Drogon kill Jon anyway?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say Bran orchestrated the entire events of the series, or at least the last couple of seasons, to end up on the Iron Throne himself.

Btw, all hail King Daario Naharis, now permanent ruler of the Bay of Dragons.

House Stark now basically rules pretty much everything ever in Westeros. Sansa rules the North, Bran rules the entire rest, Jon will probably become ruler of the Free Folk and Arya will soon found the colony of Nuevo Norte in Americos.

JON PET THE DOGGO ALL IS FORGIVEN

Someone did go west of Westeros in Fire and Blood and is known to have found some small islands. They may or may not have made it to Asshai, since later in the same book someone claims to have seen their ship there.

I was really hoping he'd burn John and then John would emerge unscathed. But that would have taken the show in a mother direction.

As an aside, during the stabbing scene, did anyone wonder who stabbed who initially? Cause I could have seen that go either way.

Targaryens aren't and never have been immune to fire. Only Dany alone was.

Question is why? I mean that's something that's never been explained. It would make sense that it's tied to strength, Dany was incredibly strong so it makes sense the Dragon's immunity runs in her, but the same could be said for John.

That was probably the intented effect.

Sure, but did it land for everyone?

Also the Demon wings was a nice bit of imagery.

she was the dragon, which is why she didnt burn.
the question is, was jon one too? Mrs mermania would say yes.
remember when jon was killed and all the steam came out of his body. I said it was just body heat, mrs mermania said "no, it means jon has dragon inside him"

Jon burned his hand that first time he was fighting some dead men in Castle Black.

Maybe it's not a permanent thing? I dunno it's not really explained to begin with, so everything else is pretty much speculation anyway.

Anyone else feel bad for Drogon right now? I mean he has lost his two brothers and his mom and in a very short time frame. Poor scaly boi.

How is a male going to recreate his species alone?

It has actually. Dragons can change sexes like bullfrogs, but you still need more than one to make a baby dragon.

Surprise twist, Drogon and his two brothers got bus-ey while frolicking around Meereen.
