Isn't he?

Ghost!!!!!!

All Hail the Queen of the North!

Where's Ghost???!!!

Please, Bran, change your expression?!

O.M.G. Bran????

They're not huge fans of democracy...

You tell him, Sansa!

Okay, Jon; what are you going to do about those bloodthirsty troops?

Oh. Poor Drogon. Will he fry Jon?

Hah! He did it.

YES! Sansa was right.

Didn't Aegon spare the lords who surrendered to him, and their troops and people? Dany clearly heard the bells, knew that they signified surrender, and didn't care.

I found the Sandor/Arya interaction quite believable. Maybe Arya might decide to marry Gendry and bring new life into the world instead of constantly trying to end it. Or not...

It made some sense. They really should have set it up with Dany betraying more insecurity and pent-up anger in last season and this one but there was some justification. Dany lost too many people that she cared for deeply and trusted, the newer people she had trusted were withdrawing from her, and trying to be reasonable and civilized had cost her one of her two precious remaining "children" (possibly both, since Viserion was lost on the mission to bring a wight that would make Cersei see reason in the matter of the imminent danger of the walkers and wights). Jorah had died saving her life. Rhaegal had been killed by Cersei's ally. Missandei had been murdered before Dany's eyes by Cersei during a parley (and her last word was Dracarys). Jon, who Dany loved and trusted, told the secret of his superior claim to 'her' throne to his family after she begged him to keep it secret; and Jon's sister betrayed that secret to Dany's trusted advisor Tyrion, who told Varys. Dany was convinced that Varys betrayed her (he was, in this episode, but I think all he'd done in the last episode was talk inconclusively with Tyrion). Then, when Dany reached out for physical comfort with Jon, he rejected her advances while respecting her as his queen. I'm not sure if Dany was clinically insane, but she seemed very upset when the bells rang to signal surrender; as if she could not stand the thought of it. I think she made the decision then that she was tired of being reasonable and civilized; that she was going to Dracarys the h*ll out of King's Landing, and drown Cersei and her city in fire and blood. I doubt that Dany will survive the next episode; the only question is who will kill her? And will she kill Tyrion first if she realizes he sprung Jaime?

But didn't Dany agree to cease hostilities if the bells denoting surrender were rung? Agreed in front of her Hand and her ally (Tyrion and Jon) as well as her general (Grey Worm)? Was it her plan all along; or did she just get angry when the bells were rung and decided to "burn them all" just like dear old Dad wanted to do?

But he didn't kill her, the ceiling did. I don't think he was trying to kill her, just hold her.

The ceiling is the Valonquar?

Why didn't Cersei think about living when she had the chance to surrender?

The Hound is being kind. It must be the end of all things.

Will Daenerys stop? No.

Why the heck didn't Dany toast the Iron Fleet like this last time - might have saved Rhaegal?

Seems to be. Tyrion loves Jaime and wants Cersei's child to live.

Daenerys will count Tyrion's releasing Jaime as treason.

Did they show Rickon's funeral? Maybe she cried there.
