[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
The point there is that Tyrion was informing Knockoff Jack Sparrow that he wasn't really the babydaddy. Sowing discord and whatnot.
Oh, I understand the point of Tyrion doing it, I just don't believe that Crazyface has enough self-control to not have flipped his shit right there instead of having enough guile to wait until he could talk to Ceresi privately.
I really want to see if there's an actual baby. I think she's playing both Euron and Jaime. I'm not even sure Jaime believes her.
I also felt like Dany's plea to Jon came off as pure manipulation (not that he would ever notice). I mean, I think she likes him a lot, but she went way over the top describing her feelings for him, which are, what, a week old? Plus, I think she might have been covering her bases. That scene came right after witnessing the huge Jon love-in at the feast. In a pinch, she might figure she needs him to rule.
Can the Drowned God bring back dragons? That would be interesting.

There's not enough time, but it could be hilarious if Cercei was just going through the change.
I'm assuming she's just lying, because having babies has always been a good source of power for her and she has always lied about some aspect of the pregnancies.
I am cancelling my HBO subscription this month, and stuff like this trailer does nothing to dissuade me.
Even if she's not, are we really expecting a 6-month timejump in the next two episodes? So nobody's ever going to know for sure.
I don't know what to expect! Maybe we'll get a montage at the end of the last episode showing what everyone is doing 20 years from now when it's summer again. Or however that works. You know, when the Doom of Valyria has spread over everywhere except the Land of Always Winter.
OTOH, I would not put it past this show to cut Cersei open on screen.
Somebody on io9 posted a crazy fan theory that the prophecy of Azor Ahai will come true when Jon executes Dany for treason against the realm by stabbing her through the heart with Ice (rebuilt). Which I now want to be true so badly because I want to final shot of the show to be Jon miserable on the throne, then a pan out to the tomb where Dany lies. The camera zooms in on her face, and her eyes open, glowing blue; fire and ice, finally combined as the reign of the Night Queen begins.
