So can a dragon melt the wall with its fire?

I doubt it would be a fast process but sure.

So can a dragon melt the wall with its fire?

It's pretty clear that's where this is heading.

This Arya/Sansa plot is so ridiculous.

Can Arya think for two seconds about who Sansa was at the time and her potential for being manipulated? Does she not understand the difference between Sansa at 13 and Lyanna Mormont at 13?

Like, great, you think you are so clever. Maybe use that supposed cleverness to determine the truth instead of make Sansa scared to death of you because you are a homicidal maniac.

Not that I love all the Arya/Sansa plot, because it's been the weakest part of the season, but she's clearly testing Sansa's loyalty by playing the game of faces with her to learn the real truth.

I like the theory that she's playing LF, otherwise this is annoying.

 

[Evincar]

Why send Jon/Jorah on a suicide mission if she could have just taken her 3 dragons north with them from the start?

Part of her still didnt believe them.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that were true. Her anger about the letter just feels too jarring.

She's a revenge bot and has been for some time.

I read her giving the dagger to Sansa and turning her back to her as the "I believe and trust you" moment.

I havent cared abut Arya since she sailed for Bravos.

 

[HanSolo]

I'm still rewatching for the first time in HD and man. Dragons torching wights like that will always give this episode rewatchability

 

[McDeepika]

Part of her still didnt believe them.

Agreed which this whole season has been emphasizing. I just don't get why she would now be inclined to believe a letter 2 days later.

 

[The Moose]

The extra time really allowed for a classic Thrones episode with some dialogue filling in some blanks.

• I remain of the view Arya is playing LF. She *literally* played the game of knowing truth from lies - and told her as much - with Sansa. It's ludicrous to think she wouldn't believe Sansa when she told her she wrote the letter, under duress, to save Ned.

Yes, I hope that is where it is going as well. This would also explain why Arya didn't tell Sansa where she got the letter from.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I read her giving the dagger to Sansa and turning her back to her as the "I believe and trust you" moment.

I'm sure that's true. Putting Sansa through the paces.

 

[Warden of the North]

I think I would of liked it better if Dany decided to go to the wall shortly after Jon departed for it, and while she was there Gendry stumbled in with the message.

Isnt that better?

 

[The Moose]

I hope Arya kills Cersei, that would be a fitting wrap up of her arc.

 

[aufheben]

So can a dragon melt the wall with its fire?

What do you mean, why would that happen?

 

[HanSolo]

Aw come on. Her annihilating the whole Frey family was great.

 

[SB164]

Tormund and The Hound becoming Jon's Kingsguards would be so badass.

 

[MadDevil]

If it doesn't end up where Arya has been playing Littlefinger then that entire plot is stupid. Sansa and Arya have been through a lot of **** the last 6+ seasons, and if they both get played by Littlefinger by turning back into *****y sisters, what the hell is the point?

 

[HanSolo]

Man the shot of Jon angrily staring down the Night King with Drogon screaming in the background.

At the very least this episode was excellent eye candy.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Not that I love all the Arya/Sansa plot, because it's been the weakest part of the season, but she's clearly testing Sansa's loyalty by playing the game of faces with her to learn the real truth.

Hard to play the game of faces when the other person refuses to play.

Not to mention her entire demeanor comes off as if she thinks Sansa is guilty from the start. She is just terrible at figuring out the truth if she is really looking to determine Sansa's loyalty.

Though my GF did make a good observation that the letter from Kings Landing may be a fake from Arya to see if Sansa would willingly leave the North. But without a seal from the capitol I wonder how she would be able to make a forgery.

It would solve a ton of issues, like she couldn't stand Jorah and Jon being in danger and left soon after they did.

 

[Evincar]

Agreed which this whole season has been emphasizing. I just don't get why she would now be inclined to believe a letter 2 days later.

She's not going to believe because of the letter but the fact that Jon and Jorah are in trouble.

Well Littlefinger hasn't really had much of an impact in a long long time. Maybe he needs a win.

So I have to say I actually thought the scene with Daenerys and Jon at the end was fantastic. Daenerys pledged herself to help Jon fight the army of the dead without conditions, and Jon swore fealty to her. Daenerys' reaction to Jon calling her "my queen" was perhaps the most humble and vulnerable we have ever seen her, and her response of "I hope I deserve it" was great. Here is probably the most honorable and selfless person she has ever met, and he is telling her that he trusts and will follow her. She's not sure she even deserves that level of trust from someone like Jon, who she clearly thinks is better than her, but she's incredibly touched by it. Add to that the fact that both of them clearly love the other and the subtle hints towards a marriage alliance, and it was a great scene.
