Got Stormborn

Fellas,

Great episode and awesome instacast! It is clear with this episode that the GoT show runners have put the accelerator to the floor! We are now less than fifteen episodes from the end of the series! Game of Thrones has some serious wrapping up to do! I am looking at these last 13 episodes as one long season. My Euron theory was shot to shit! I thought his gift to Cersei was going to be the Dragon Horn. This is a HUGE plot point in the books that the show has left out. This would have been a perfect opportunity to bring that in. Having said that, I understand the kidnapping of Elaria Sand. She is the obvious choice seeing as though she is responsible for Myrcella’s death. I’ll assume that they are going to leave the whole dragon horn plot out. (a shame)

Jon Snow is still making rookie mistakes! Sometimes those Starks can’t see the forest for the Wierwood trees! Jon is leaving for Dragonstone and he decides to provoke Little Finger?! That’s going to come back and bite him in the ass. You know Little Finger always has a plan B. Plus, with Jon gone that gives him wiggle room to work his manipulation magic. Sansa is aware of him but she still can’t hang with him when it comes to that aspect of “The Game”.

Daenerys has an interesting problem, EVERYONE in her camp is giving her good advice but it’s conflicting. Tyrion’s advice about being the queen of ashes conflicts with Olena’s advice about being true to her “dragon” self. Asha and Elaria don’t even matter anymore. Also, Theon had a Reek moment when he jumped off the ship. I guess now he’s going to follow them back to Kings Landing and covertly rescue his sister (I called it!)

Finally, a tin hat theory. The Night King CANNOT kill Jon Snow because he’s already half dead. Beric Dondarrion, Jon Snow and Cold Hands (Benjen Stark) are all half-deads so I think somehow they will all cancel each other out. 2 out of 4 half-deads are Starks with a bonus 3 eyed raven who is also a Stark. Bran is the queen piece on this Westerosi chessboard. He is the key to all of this, he just doesn’t know it yet.

Keep up the good work fellas!
