Quote HistoryQuoted: That was an extraction out of a hot LZ with no knowledge of the enemies anti air capabilities. Danys still has a 2 to 1 advantage in airpower. Down the ice dragon, do one or two strafing runs on the army of the dead, stay at top speed to avoid the Night Kings spear, fly home for crew rest. Repeat and wear down the numbers. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
This is why you will never sit on the iron throne. The Night King is a Super Being. You should see the fight as 2 vs 2 over enemy held terrain. You dont what other tools the walker have at their disposal...but know they are aware of the dragons and are preparing for them. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: He is Aerys II Targaryen; which is why the dragon Viserion, which is named after his son, allows him to ride on his back and accepted him so naturally. Daenerys rides Drogon who's named after her dead husband Drogo; and Jon rides atop Rhaegal who is named after Daenerys's eldest brother, Jon's true father and Aerys son, Rhaegar Targaryen. Only Targaryens can ride dragons. Its all in the family Aerys II Targaryan AKA The Mad King is The Night King. |

The knights king is global warming or just all that is good coming back to restart the world because white men are evil.
This is why Sansa wins the Game of Thrones. Only a woman can keep the humans on the right path to continue wholesome and true. The people of the forest are liken of the American Indians. Stupid white men came and raped, pillaged and destroyed the land. They just wouldn’t listen. We didn’t listen!!!! :( |

Dammit. Thanks for ruining this.  But at least we can discuss theories that havent actually been disproven in previous episodes that make no sense. I really don't think they'll get into who the night king actually was at this point. I think the last major secret they cared about was Jon being a Targaryen. I think the story now will be pretty straight forward with no more shocking revelations. I'm curious to see how they do Danerys reaction to Jon being the rightful heir. She shows flashes of a mean streak like when vaguely threatening Sansa to Jon. Her armies certainly dont care if shes the rightful heir to Westeros or not since they are foreign and the Unsullied follow her for freeing them and the Dothraki follow her because shes strong. Jon wouldn't have anyway to beat her in battle since her army would crush anything he could muster so he'll only sit on the throne if she dies (giving birth maybe?) or he marries her. She won't just give up her power for sure. |

There’s plenty of ways to kill a king/queen outside the battlefield. Mad king - stabbed in the back by his Kingsguard. Robert - hunting Joffrey - poison Tommen - suicide Renly - magic Rob - assassinated at a wedding Karl Drogo - infected wound from single combat |
