Just finished Quacks. Highly amusing.

Quacks episode 2 "Dentist whose into ether, chloroform, coca leaves. Morphine, and any drugs he can find (as good scientists were in that time), etc, says to surgeon. 'But, but, you've killed more than I have. A: Yes but I'm a surgeon. You're a dentist!' "

LOL.

Mrscove loved watching "Leave It To Beaver" and "My Three Sons" during her break in the US.
Up to her usual spotting we had Hal Linden who was Barney in the old New York police series at a party in Los Angeles.
Bill Murray sat 2 rows behind us at Groundhog Day in New York. That new show is as good as Matilda so do try to see it. I loved the movie too.

1. Who needs NBN when we can use ravens instead! LOL I've seen fast birds that just left blurs on my photos but none that can keep it up for 1000's of miles!

2. Anyone falling in an ice hole and being soaked to the skin fully clothed, then spent a couple hours at least on a horse would have died from hypothermia.

3. Wights have scuba gear? How did they swim down, manipulate those heavy chains, and where did they get the chains?


The general plot is good but the writing/editing was terrible. But I really felt for that one character who sank beneath the ice and the look on his mother's face just broke my heart.

We should finally get a face to face meeting of 2 Queens on Monday, that should be good!

So dragons, wight walkers, being brought back from the dead, 3 eyed raven are all perfectly normal? Its all a fantasy and normal rules dont apply.

I said to son a couple of series ago that they need to make sure they dragons dont get captured......

 

[whatmeworry]

Dany and Jon will have a kid.

They don't breathe do they?

 

[PLANT]

The chains came from the draw bridges..... From a conquered castle or the same place NBN providers get their speed advertising info

 

[lovetravellingoz]

They don't breathe do they?

Some visibly do not even have lungs as are rotted away.

 

[whatmeworry]

Tonight was one of the best episodes of Utopia.

Perfectly sums up why we can't get anything built cheaply in Australia anymore!

We need Bert!

 

[Tiki]

LOL, true! I should have specified goggles or something to see what they are doing in that murky icy water! It's just that wights don't seem to swim, they didn't want to walk on the thin ice so how can they swim all of a sudden!

I kind of make a difference between outright fantasy characters such as white walkers, wights and dragons because even the Westerosis don't believe the former 2 exist (Tyrion said they are tales made up by wet nurses to frighten children) which is why they had to capture one to show Cersei. Dragons are believed to have been extinct in the GoT world and the current characters all freak out when they see one for the first time. They don't exist at all in our world so there is no data on how fast they fly or what they can do. Ravens on the other hand (2 eyed ones) do exist and most of us have probably seen them so it's hard to believe they can cover that distance so fast. I would have preferred to just have Dany decide on her own to follow Jon's team to make sure they are ok. It's pretty obvious she was worried about Jon but trying not to let on! It would have been logical for her to do that after that conversation with Tyrion when she rants about "heroes". Then she could have just arrived with the dragons when Gendry stumbled in after his epic run. It would have been even cooler if Jon had met all the dragons, bonded with them and one of them sensed he was in trouble the way Drogon sensed Dany was in trouble in Meereen and rescued her on his own!

I agree that Dany & Jon will probably have a baby, there's been a lot of talk about her not being able to have kids and Tyrion asking about the succession which would fore-shadow a fire & ice baby to be Azor Azhai.

 

[Pushka]

Agree - your idea about bonding with a Dragon and then that one sensing Jon was in danger would have been pretty cool!

 

[Warks]

Jon and Aunty Dany having a kid. I guess they are Targaryens after all.

The wights don't need to swim, they just need to sink and walk on the bottom. The are part of an army lead by an intelligent being that has been preparing for a siege on East watch, they have giants. Giant chains are plausible.
I'd say they decided to not walk into the thin ice/water because they would be trapped under the ice and not able to attack the living people.

the timing is slightly ambiguous, so I'm not sure how people have decided on the speed of the crow. Especially since they don't know if it was an "african or european" crow. Clearly it was laden...

Jon contains fire and ice - he is stark and targaryen. The books talk about Jon having thoughts of Ice Dragons the conjecture being he is the Ice (Stark) Dragon (Targaryen).

I won't even get into bran being the ice king, or turning the mad king mad.

Dany and Jon will have a kid.

Considering she is his Aunt - I doubt it. But she probably needs a targaryen to have human children.

 

[whatmeworry]

Targaryens have married siblings before. They might consummate the relationship before his true lineage is revealed.

 

[Vic]

More like Han, Leia and luke for mine

 

[PLANT]

So as this is the end of series 7....
Are the white walkers going to attack in spring of new series.... They seem to be taking their time to reach this wall!!!!

Yeah, that's what I am thinking too. Targaryens seem to be similar to ancient Egyptians who married siblings to keep the bloodlines pure, especially royalty. Dany won't bat an eyelash at the lineage but I don't think Jon would approve if he knows they are related so if they sleep together it will be before they find out. Bran is the only one who knows so it depends on when he and Jon meet up.

My guess is that Dany gets pregnant and dies in childbirth, she had that vision back in S02 where she is in the decimated throne room, it starts snowing (Jon Snow symbolism) and hopefully she gets to go to the afterlife with Khal Drogo and their son who should be around 6 or 7-ish. GRRM said the ending will be "bittersweet" so I can't see Jon, Dany & baby living happily ever after (unless Disney buys the HBO channel!) so at least one of them will probably die.

They do walk very slowly! I wish they would wrap this storyline up in the first couple eps in S08 and get back to the political intrigue, backstabbing an fighting over the throne, even if the throne does get blown up by wildfire or dragon fire at the end (Dany's vision, S02).
