I kinda want to go back and rewatch much of season 1/2 to get a better glimpse into the tyrion/cersi and little finger/everyone back stories.
Now that the season is over I need to finish my rewatch commentary - i left off mid-Season 2.

Do we know target release date of the next season? Rumors are 2019?
They're starting pre-production already, plus a recent interview with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau indicated filming starts in October. From what I've read those who are familiar with the business of production are predicting filming will go on through March, probably, and then they'll need a lot of post-production time for CGI. Best guess i've seen is most likely it'll be fall 2018, although it could push to 2019 if needed.
Something about the push to 2019 so that the show doesn't totally out-pace/eclipse the books? But then i read somewhere that Martin was using the show and the books to tell two "different" endings?
Nah, Martin's not going to release the end of the story before 2019 in any way shape or form, at best he has 2 more books to publish and the first of those isn't done yet. They're not holding the final season of the show waiting on him for anything. HBO will air it when it's ready and it makes sense for their interests, regardless of what George would have wanted.
The end point of the show will get to the same basic end point as the books, but there's no guarantee the same people will even be alive for it or play the same role in it, and that's ok. It leaves more to be discovered from the books when we get them.
One of the common criticisms of the TV show is that it's become more fanfiction than adaptation. And I can't deny that, especially after Season 5... but it's still very well done and with more inside knowledge of the author's future plans than your average fanfic.

I thought it was Harry Lloyed that played Rhaegar, they were so alike. I had to look it up to be sure it wasn´t him.
Oh, I know... I was all "wait... if that's not him, did they give him Harry Lloyd's wig?"

ACTUAL THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WHILE WATCHING S7 E7:Episode title: The Dragon and the Wolf. IS THIS HAPPENING GUYS?GUYS. NUDITY WARNING. RED ALERT.Previously on: Euron is a crazy man, Theon has PTSD face, Yara's in trouble, Sansa sends Brienne away, Arya is a psycho, Tyrion's got a stupid plan, dead dragon, Dany is out for vengeance, ZOMBIE DRAGONGUYS. THIS IS THE SEASON FINALE. I HAS A SAD.Return of Grey Worm!!! Hmmm.... wellll, they managed to make it to King's Landing.The Lannisters are worried.Ooh! Bronn!LOL... "I still enjoy it when they call me m'Lord." "The thrill will fade." *snerk* Bronn gets some of the best snarky lines.Tyrion indeed has been a champion of the downtrodden.Oooh, DOTHRAKI AHOY.They really do sound like they're having fun.Euron's ships? Does he know Cersei's pregnant? *hmmm*Jon gets his first sight of King's Landing, and is not impressed.Yup. Zombie's still alive in that box.Why isn't she with them? Who, Dany? Or Sansa?Backstory of the Dragonpit....Bronn escorting everyone to the meeting - Pod and Brienne arrived first, eh? Makes sense I guess.Tyrion and Pod together again!
Brienne and Sandor OMG. Brienne tells Sandor that Arya is still and is a total badass. Nice moment.Aww, Bronn and Tyrion! I love this.Aaaaaaand the Dragonpit.This is all a little nervewracking.Cersei's march of doom incoming. Oh, Euron's in the party. How much fun is this?Many. Significant. Looks.CLEGANEBOWL, GET HYPE?You know Dany's making a grand entrance on dragonback, right?Oh, yep. As expected!Drogon and Rhaegal, incoming!Drogon gonna wreck this joint.Oh hi guys, sorry I'm late.Euron's all insolent and interrupting.Jaime being the voice of order? Nice.Jon's got a few words to say about your impending death.Oh Cersei. Being a smartass with Jon is not a good look."What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX?" </Se7en>Wight is playing possum...Oh that was horrifyingI think Cersei is kinda convincedQyburn, however, is really, really curious."Can they swim?" "No." "SEEYA C, I'M OUTIE!"Cersei sounds very reasonable. I don't trust her.Cersei's trying to make a pact with Jon, and not Dany. This is kinda bizarre.Jon goes public with his allegiance... and Cersei's all "OK, dude, enjoy your war with the dead. Peace out."Brienne and Jaime I STILL BELIEVE!Everyone's all grumpy at Jon for telling the truth.Oh dear. Tyrion's going to go talk to Cersei?Jaime giving Tyrion this look like "nice knowing you, bro... she's going to eat your liver with fava beans and a nice chianti."Tyrion wasn't this terrified going to unchain the dragons. I think they're more reasonable than Cersei.Are... you... dumb? Why are you baiting the vicious lioness?What. What. What.Yeah, I'd need a drink after that too.Tyrion's figured out Cersei is pregnant... what's he going to do with this info?Jon and Dany talking about the death of the dragons... and the fall of the Targaryen dynasty.HER FAMILY HASN'T SEEN ITS END BECAUSE JON IS YOUR FAMILY TOO.Also they're totally gonna have a baby. Let's beat that into the audience's head some more. "Have you ever considered that the witch who murdered your husband might not be a reliable source of information on whether you can have children?"I think I saw a little rueful smile there, Jon.Oooh! Tyrion made it out alive!Aaaaaaand the Lannister Legion of Doom returns.Cersei commits to fighting the dead? I DON'T TRUST HER.Raven arrives with word that Jon bent the knee... Littlefinger suggests Jon and Dany are gonna get married so Sansa should seize control of the North. This is a TERRIBLE IDEA.Oh Sansa will you quit being an idiot? Are you really confiding in this sleazeball?Arya has no desire to be Lady of Winterfell. Please tell me you don't believe his BS.You could always arrive together on dragonback, ya know. Jon could bring Rhaegal.
OK, united front. Good deal.Theon is completely impressed with Jon.This is a very necessary conversation.Awww. Jon is just being completely amazing right now.Theon gotta go save Yara. GO THEON GO. (This seems unlikely to work.)Tense confrontation with the Ironborn >.>Theon's getting his butt kicked."Stay down or I'll kill you!" Well now he just HAS to get up again.Oh dear. Theon got his groove back.Big stupid display of idiocy impressed the Ironborn. Geez, these people.Oh good, Sansa brought Bran along for this confrontation with Arya.Littlefinger all smug there..."You stand accused of murder... you stand accused of treason... how do you answer these charges - LORD BAELISH." CHA CHING!!!!!I was really hoping all this Sansa and Arya crap was a front for Littlefinger. GOD I AM SO GLAD.OH I AM LOVING THIS."None of you were there. None of you saw it." BUT BRAN DID.THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS IS NOT A DRILLARYA WITH THE DAGGER. SCORE!!!Jaime being all commandery. Cersei about to give him further instruction.Oh crap, she's gonna try to go back on her word.Cersei noticed that a dragon was missing. And of course she's all "ahh, we can beat 'em!"Oh really? Euron's going to retrieve the Golden Company and fight with Cersei? >.>"I told you no one walks away from me." OH CRAPPlease, Jaime, will you just get over this crazy b!%#$? OMGJaime's riding off and CRAP IT'S STARTING TO SNOW IN KING'S LANDINGWinter is here, guys. WINTER IS HERE.Sam and Gilly at Winterfell?YAY SAM AND BRAN!!!!
"What happened to you beyond the Wall?" "I became the three-eyed raven." "Oh!!!........ I don't know what that means." LOL"Jon's on his way back to Winterfell with Daenerys Targaryen." "You saw it in a vision?" "No dude. He sent a raven. Keep up."Bran's telling Sam JON IS RHAEGAR AND LYANNA'S SON.... Sam is all " NO DUDE RHAEGAR AND LYANNA WERE MARRIED, JON'S THE RIGHTFUL KING OF WESTEROS THIS IS BIG NEWS"Bran's watching Rhaegar and Lyanna's wedding GUYS THIS IS HAPPENINGJon and Dany about to ... umm.....And Tyrion is a bit voyeuristic
ANd why would they name him Aegon, Rhaegar ALREADY HAD A SON NAMED AEGON.Aunt/nephew just keepin' it in the familyAWWW SISTERS SCENE.The pack survives. Aww. Yeah.And something is about to happen... Yikes.Oh Night King... where are you?Tormund... Beric...

Awwwwwwww!!!!
Congrats, James!!

One can only hope!

Ghost was name dropped in the last episode, Sansa said something about (?) the Lords of the North (?) not sitting around and waiting on him to get back like Ghost. So apparently he's been kicking around Winterfell.
From interviews I've come across, they said they did film a scene with Ghost for this season but it was cut.
-
I read on another site that there were a ship nearby where the wights got the chains. Okay. I didn´t see it. Have to look for it the next time I watch the episode.
I think the theory is that there would be ships at Hardhome they could have taken them from.
One of the YouTubers I follow thinks the Night King was a greenseer before he was turned and knew they would be able to get a dragon, so the whole setup was a trap and he came prepared.
Otherwise, there's really no indication that the final scene came immediately after Dany and Jon escaped, so there's no reason not to think they went back to get the chains between that and the final scene. The passage of time is malleable.

ACTUAL THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WHILE WATCHING S7 E6:I'm nervous. Hold me.Previously on.... Sansa's "support the Lannisters" letter, Dany needs help not being like her father, and Jon has Jorah's sword. OK. Here we go.That was a very odd view of the map table.*humming* Trudging through the snow...Tormund is one to talk about Gendry being not so smart, he's the only one of the Magnificent Seven wearing a hood in the sub-zero north
Hmmm, Tormund giving Jon food for thought about bending the knee.Sandor with a bit of a shot of reality for Gendry, heh...Jon and Jorah having the chitchat about Lord Commander Mormont. Jorah's all "I hate that he died that way, he would have died for those men and they butchered him." Yeah, sounds familiar, they did the same crap to Jon.Oh, there we go. The sword talk.Of course he's not taking it back.Arya and Sansa reminiscing... and of course the letter.Hey Arya. Chill out and listen to her explanation, will you?*sigh* Well this isn't getting anywhere good.Speaking of not getting anywhere good... more snow trekkin'...Sandor's got something against gingers? *ponders*LOL, Sandor and Tormund talking about Brienne. This is hilarious.Jon not looking much like Ned is completely off-book. Yeah, Kit Harington doesn't look like Sean Bean, but in the book Catelyn hates the fact that Jon looks more like Ned than any of her kids. Except maybe Arya.... This conversation is far too deep. Something violent is about to happen.Ooh, to Tyrion and Dany!"Heroes do stupid things and they die." - DanyTyrion tossing that "Jon likes you" thing out there like NBD...Of course Cersei's gonna set a trap. OF COURSE.Oh Tyrion. You're ABOUT to see Dany lose her temper if you keep it up.Whee. Blizzard.This is probably not a good sign.Undead bear attack? EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshWildling Redshirt #1 down...Oh this ain't goodOK I can't even tell who the bear got that's screaming like a little girl. Tell me this isn't Gendry.TWO FLAMING SWORDS!UNDEAD BEAR ON FIRE... SANDOR IS NOT HAPPYHero move by Jorah with a ... little bitty knife?Ok, ok, Gendry's still standing, this is good.Umm. Thoros? He's... um... gonna get him drunk and... cauterize the bear mauling wounds with his flaming sword?Who's dead? Wildling redshirt #2?Littlefinger lying out his... well ya know.DON'T TRUST HIM SANSA.Oh man, he's sounding SO reasonable. WHY MUST YOU BE SO SLIMY BAELISH?
More snow trekkin...Thoros looks good for someone who's been mauled by a flaming undead bear.The dead go marching single file?
One white walker and a little team of zombies...And Jon kills the leader to destroy ALL BUT ONE? This makes no sense.I smell a trap. This has to be a trap.The rest of them are coming.........Oh, Gendry gets sent back to Eastwatch to send word to Dany... and leaves his hammer with the group. Haha, trailer misdirection, seeing Sandor wielding Gendry's hammer created a big "OH NO GENDRY DIES" speculation.This lake does not look like a good place to be.RUN FORREST RUN!Who fell behind? Sandor with his limp?Ohboyicecracking eeeepOh, Sandor's on the rock. And now there's a moat full of iced zombies!Improbably, they're all still alive.RUN GENDRY RUN!That is a long freakin' run.This is not going to be a fun place to spend the night.Gendry, dear. You cannot nap here.Oh thank goodness. He's at Eastwatch.How did they manage to live through the night without dying of exposure with no fire?Oh. Thoros.
Um. Y'all might want to set him on fire now.Oh, Jon's on point.Oooh, the Night King is watching.Beric wants to take him out? Or send Jon to take him out?Sansa gets invited to King's Landing for a "gathering"? Now THAT is a trap.She's gonna send Brienne as her representative? Interesting. Jaimienne ship is ALIIIIIIVE.She's sending Brienne away right after Littlefinger was trying to suggest Brienne might be able to intervene if Arya was going to harm herWhat's on Sansa's mind? I NEED TO KNOW!OH LOOK, there are the other dragons!Dany's wearing a warm dress in what looks like Stark colors. Guess she's really gotten used to the King in the North, eh?GO SAVE HIM DANY. GO FLY!YAY OTHER DRAGONS TOOSandor's still standing... this is good?Tossing a snowball at the wights? *snerk*Uh oh. Lake is frozen. This looks bad.FIGHT FIGHT FIGHTHoly geez this is tense. Someone's gonna die aren't they? Wight's gonna get free and attack them from the back? THIS IS MAKING ME NERVOUS.They're trying to rescue their captive brother wight?Oh CRAP TORMUND IS GETTING HIS BUTT KICKED HEEEEELPClegane to the rescue!
GET OFF JON OMGAaaaaaand Redshirt Wildling #3 falls into the zombie mob.Oh that is bad.Jon's thinking of doing something stupid isn't he?OMG DRAGONOMGOMGOMGI'm shakingFried zombies!!!Uh oh.Night king is gonna do something tricksyApparently as hot and magical as it is, dragonfire does not faze him in the slightestJon.Oh crap speared dragonDRAGON DOWN.

JON'S COMING BACKThey're on a boat!Wow, his clothes are frozen stiff!And Dany's about to see him shirtless. "Hmmm.... stab wound over the heart.... HMMMMMMM."Sansa. Are you sneaking around in Arya's room?Oooh. She keeps faces in her satchel.What that means, Sansa, is that your baby sister is a trained assassin.Yes. Play the game of faces. Tell her the truth.Oh crap put that knife down Arya.Or hand it to Sansa. You could do that.Sansa is so utterly unnerved by this.Dang it. They should just talk to each other.Jon's awake!Dany's RIGHT THERE STARING AT HIM.The Night King killed one of my babies. Now it's personal. Rawr.Awww, he called her Dany. HE CALLED HER DANY.She apparently doesn't like that nickname.Awww, he'd bend the knee but he's stuck in bed.She's wondering whether he's naked under those furs, isn't she?Wight chain gang!Oh crap. They're pulling up the dragon.Oh crap.OH CRAP BLUE EYED DRAGONGAHHHHHHHHHHNext week: Grey Worm! Approaching King's Landing! Sansa! Cersei! Jon! Tyrion! War!

30 hours-ish. I'm trying to be strong and avoid the YouTube videos that are tagged as episode 6 spoilers.
One of my coworkers approached me on Thursday and told me she'd watched it. All she said was that she cried.

I might as well too, since I keep dropping by here anyway and signed up for a game here that will give points. I really want to do the One Power fights on the other website though, so I hope they fix the dice rollers soon.

The lure of chaos and madness has drawn another member to the Black Tower.... Excellent!
I present you with DEATH BY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES. Eat up, the tainted brownies help you get accustomed to channeling saidin. It is known.
So. Tell us about your insanity. Is it genetic or environmentally caused? What are the voices in your head telling you to do right now? How long have you been a rabbit?
I can assume your favorite WoT character (HOW DO I DO THIS? I AM PSYCHIC!)... Tell us about your favorite Asha'man!
There may be a slight delay gaining access to the private boards whilst we go on a Lady Dragon hunt, then send her forth to poke an ewok. Meanwhile, feel free to spam here in the main boards, because well... It's what we do.

Ohai! Another Phoenician!
I know of two others off the top of my head, plus a couple of folks in Apache Junction and one in Prescott Valley, so Arizona is pretty well represented here at DM. Welcome! The air conditioning here is fully operational and there's no need to go outside when you're immersed in the books, right?
A Song of Ice and Fire/GoT is probably my favorite series, but WoT is a close second, and I feel more at home here at Dragonmount than any of the GoT fan sites. The community here is amazing, and the social groups are a ton of fun (if subject to occasional accidental spoilers). Thanks for stopping in and introducing yourself, hope you stick around!
