LOVE that title. Gave me goosebumps when I first heard it. And this finale delivers. Oh boy, does it deliver.

Bran does NOT know everything )

I forget the name of the actor who played Rhaegar, but it's not the same guy who played Viserys. But they do look a lot alike ( ... )

Been reading the internet. Apparently I'm not the only one who thought that the same actor who played Viserys played Rhaegar. But apparently it wasn't. Lol there goes my rhaegar who looks like Alexander skaarsgard!!

My vision of an Arya-Jon reunion is Arya jumping on Jon, glomping him while shrieking JONNNNNN. Haha but that was season 1 little Arya. I imagine their reunion would be a lot more sedate now that she's an assassin and he a King. They have to film *that* reunion ASAP before Arya gets any bigger/taller!

I can see that reunion reaction, had she actually made it to the Wall in Season 2, and been handed over into his custody, so to speak. But now, it's going to be more complicated, for sure! More like, him wanting to pick her up and hold her in his arms, then realizing she's barely shorter than him!

I was worried, throughout the books, that Arya, as a Faceless Man, would be given the task of assassinating Jon, and going ahead and doing it, as she'd been trained to do, and NOT feeling the remorse we'd, at the very least, want her to feel. I'm glad they didn't do that! I kind of want her and Gendry to be happy together, but it's just kind of hard to picture Arya being happy at some man's side, taking care of his home, etc.. Even if he is a King's bastard, or even an actual Prince, if he was indeed Robert and Cersei's son.

There're theories that Gendry is Cersei's? She gave him away to spite Robert, then?

Yay that you ship them now... big time! :D I can't wait for Jon to find out he's a Targaryen, and heir to the throne! And of course, I want to know how Jon and Dany will react.

I'm glad the sisters weren't really fighting, and it was all a set up to take Littlefinger down. What a great scene.

Oh yes, a Jon and Arya reunion. I also want to see Ghost again. Where is he?

And now we have to wait a year? Noooooo, lol.

I hope he's safe and sound in Winterfell, guarding Jon's sisters and brother ( or cousins ). I miss Ghost!!!! I wonder how he'd take to Dany ...

And now we have to wait a year?

Maybe even more than a year :(((

I hope he's safe and sound in Winterfell, too. I think Ghost would like Dany. And Dany's dragons!

Maybe more than a year? That's waaaay too long. :((( I'll just have to imagine Dany and Jon happy together, before all the drama of season 8.

Right. I don't know what to feel about Jon and Dany. I have always kind of seen them as end game... Fire and Ice and all that... but like Dany would take the Throne and Jon would be King of the North. He doesn't want to rule the 7 kingdoms ( ... )

I was amazed she listened so well to Jon.

Love does that to her ♥♥♥ And also, Jon NOT being power hungry is a change for her, I think.

:D

Oh yes, I think they'll have a child, and the child, IMO , will be the one who was prophesied as The One Who Was Promised.

Some more thoughts...

I was so sure Sansa would screw up and trust Little Finger. Was so happy that she and Arya (and Bran) had talked and conspired against him. *phew* I simply can't trust Sansa. Arya was correct in that she had always wanted to be a Lady. Not a fault per se but her naivness went on for so long. Even after all the teribble things that happened to her. I also didn't trust Arya. I was scared she might actually kill her. Didn't she have Sansa on her list when it was "new"? I wasn't sure she had "forgiven" her or had understood how much Goffrey had hurt her. So *phew* again.

I've LOVED the Starks since the beginning so having them all reunited was such a lovely feeling. Despite my worries! :P

I just knew it that Sansa and Arya ( and probably Bran as well ) were conspiring against Littlefinger. Sansa had suffered so much and Arya had learned a lot, it'd be just plain stupid if they fell for LF's conniving plans. I for one would hate the story if the two girls couldn't see through LF especially with Bran there.

But I wasn't sure of course, and with GoT you never knew, and like you, it was a HUGE relief everything turned out fine. Yes, PHEWWWW!!

Oh, can't forget the Lannisters.

Dang, I thought Cersei would kill Jamie there in the end. (Also thought the Dragon would send him up in flames before that. It seems I really thought he would die this season!) He has always done absolutely EVERTHING for her but it seems in the end she loved herself more.

That was CLOSE, wasn't it? I was, like, holding my breath and inwardly saying nonononono. GoT wouldn't be the same without Jamie!!

Cersei's baby and Dany's baby could carry on with their family feud :DD
