    Jon also burnt his hand in an early episode when fighting one of the undead at Castle Black, saving Commander Mormont.

    So Daenerys being fireproof was part of her messiah complex, as she saw it as evidence she was special, and to be fair she was in that regard.

    Just another example of where the rules of the game were somewhat vague.

    Bran dobbed him in.

    He, as the Three Eyed Raven, had it all planned from the start.

    But three Stark kids on different thrones (6 kingdoms, north, beyond the wall) didn't turn out too badly compared with how the show started for the Starks

    Drogon was ok, would have liked to have seen him burn Jon (but because he's a Targarian he wouldn't have burned)

    So it wasn't all a dragon's dream then?

    As opposed to a dog's dream of immortal memory.

    4 8 15 16 23 42.

    Glad I never bothered watching any of this one.

    Think of the time I've saved.

    you didn't . . . it was cut to commercial and fast forward 5 weeks

    although i do understand now why Pod got so fat, it was to imitate Hodor and push Bran around for the rest of his life

    Final episode was fine for me. Kept me guessing. A bit of an epilogue tying up some loose ends, but that's ok.

    what pee'd me most off about the last episode (& season) was the bloody musical score, all very bland and didn't evoke the emotion it tried to do.

    it's like they got a 90's Hollywood director in . . . all a bit meh, which is a shame because it could have been great

    That scene in the dragon pit where all the heads of the houses are sat around smugly deciding who gets to be King/Queen ("what Sam, let all the people vote, give them democracy?" "oh that's so funny, maybe my horse should get a vote too" ) would have turned into a bloodbath of them killing each other ("last one surviving wins the throne!").

    I would have preferred that type of ending.

    Yes completely blindsided me. Never thought my overall reaction to the final episode of the show would be "meh is that it".

    Drogon and Ghost got the most emotional scenes.
