    it accelerated because of a flammable substance, probably kerosene. People need to stop nitpicking. She could have had it layed there before hand or it was underneath the lamps keeping them burnign.

    Guess they don't have OSHA in essos, and Ramsay made sure there isn't one in Westeros anymore either.

    I don't want to nitpick even more, but did anybody else notice that when those guys were burning in the fire Dany was just standing there?

    Completely unrealistic.

    I'm not nitpicking, I'm having fun with it.

    I already said it was a great episode. My only honest complaint is .sadface about House Umber.

    That's a very charitable interpretation.

    Also, the Danny - Fire immunity rules are getting more and more flexible. If it is oil, or some sort of fluid hire... hell, even wildfire, are we now supposed to believe that not only is Danny immune to fire, but also to chemical burns?

    I do think that GOT is the best show on TV, and I'm guilty of making explanations for plot gaps that creep up from time to time.

    However this one just kind of took me out of the show too much. It was just too distracting and I couldn't suspend my disbelief, or help but think to myself how convenient of an out this is for Danny.

    I will say this though... I do think that GRRM's explanation of how Danny gets the best of the Dothraki, while more complex, and more thought out will take 10X as long, and will likely stretch out till the end of Winds of Winter. If the showrunners have to create this scene to expedite things along then I'm totally forgiving them. I just wish the way they had her free herself wasn't so distracting.

    But at the same time, the showrunners never had to involve this Dothraki retread. But involving Dothraki in her ending plot makes sense because it shows her as the ultimate hypocrite. She wants to wear the moral authority crown and free the slaves that she wants, but will use the biggest slave hording culture to get what she wants. The Dothraki contribute to the slave problem in Essos as much as anyone if not more.... and Danny is part of that culture whether she wants to turn a blind eye to it when its convenient or not.

    I know alot of people love Danny and think she's the hero of the story, but IMO nothing can be further from the truth from my view. Shes very human, but she's absolutely a killer, and a dangerous tyrant.... worse yet she has black magic powers, and nuclear weapons (its known that Dragons are a metaphor for Nukes in GRRM's books).

    Point being... She's bad news. It will take someone in the middle of this potential nuclear/apocalyptic scenario (Dragons & Walkers destroying the world) to bring peace. When looking for our hero we really need to ask ourselves first and foremost who is likely to be our Frodo in the middle of everything that will do the human thing that needs to be done to create peace?

    My guess is Arya will have a complete 180 change in the last season, and will be a big part of preventing the war. I predict that she abandons her list, and is key to the arc/conclusion of the story.

    Also, I get that she's immune to fire, but there would also be no oxygen in the hut with all the smoke. Does she also not have to breathe? Maybe it's a nod to Jason Momoa (the actor who played Khal Drogo) being Aquaman?

    As with Frey .... His mistake is he made a deal with Rouse Bolton
    And thought Rouse could control our favorite psychopath.
    Just like he thought Ed would be allowe to take the Black

    I like that he works for his
    And
    Sometimes he has to improvise

    Most men and women with power are.

    Not to say a pretty girl with 'white hair and t***' (Dothraki used to call her) :eek:

    Still want to see her in a battle against Ramsay Snow

    Two sociopaths at their best

    You dont think sending a guy his little brother's head is enough to draw him south to take revenge?

    Also not sure why someone would say the Wall is hard to overcome?

    Castle Black is supposed to be weak from the South. On purpose. That was the whole reason why the Wildlings climbed the wall to attack.

    True. The Wall was meant to keep what is north of the wall out. It was never meant as a serious defense from the south.

    It will be nice to see Jon do it.

    When does Arya start killing all of the Lannisters?

    The Boltons and Freys killed Robb & Catelyn, but that wasn't motivating him for revenge. And I think a dead kid leaves less urgency (they need to rescue him before he ends up like Theon). He also may want to manipulate Rickon into being on his side if he can't get Sansa back.

    I suppose that is true. I can't remember how they got into Castle Black, but it certainly wasn't as difficult.

    I generally don't put much credence into fan theories that pop up for this show. But there are some that are worth paying attention to. One grabbed my attention last night and it might have some credence. It basically speculates off of info from last nights episode that there might be another big thrones betrayal via the Lannisters (The Rains of Castamere played again last night) at some point in this season.
