Night’s King / Dragon Rider?

Published April 19, 2019 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hi guys,

The next time we see the night’s king, do you think he’ll be riding his dragon?

I don’t think he has to ride the dragon. Wights that are men/women/children do his bidding without him directly speaking to them or any type of orders that we can see. I would think it’s some kind of telepathy. The wight bear last season didn’t need a rider to attack. If the Night’s King is smart he’ll hang back and control everything from afar. Including the dragon.

We saw a dead hoof strike the ground outside of Winterfell in the preview. Not a dragon’s dead clawed foot.

Another benefit is he won’t look like he’s riding a bee in honey I shrunk the kids… I think it doesn’t look natural when the Night’s King rides a dragon because he’s so erect and still. That looks cool as hell on a horse, but strangely silly on a dragon.

Thanks for all you guys do… I started listening to you guys with last season’s GOT podcast… I’m the only one in my household that watches GOT so listening to you guys on the ride to work was the discussion I was craving… since then I’ve listened to every Shat the Movies and both seasons of West World. I’m so excited for this last season of GOT and getting to watch it ‘with’ you guys.

Cheers.
