    I get that it's a fictional show about dragons and magic and etc, but I was disappointed how predictable it was that Bronn would hit the dragon and Jamie would get saved at the last second.

    I sure would love to be able to hit a moving target (albeit large) on my third shot with a massive crossbow. And that dragon's flames weren't a concentrated small area of burninating but as Jamie is within flaming distance, suddenly he can be saved by being tackled five feet to his right?
    The show is known for killing main characters left and right. Yeah, Jamie likely lived, but it's not out of question that they Jamie could have died, or suffer some horrible side effect of being dragged to the bottom of a pond/lake/moat/whatever because he was wearing armor.

        I didn't much care for seeing the Hound today. Let dead dogs stay dead.

              Yeah, we've known the hound is alive for a long time now. Pretty much ever since we never saw him die.

                Did we? I must have missed that.

                  Wasn't in this season's first episode where the Hound was taken back to that farmhouse where he killed the man and his kid?
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    Well, maybe not that far back.

                    He came back last season, though. Building churches for Ian McShane.

                      That's right, I completely forgot about that sequence.

                        I think you just kinda forgot that guy was the hound because no one has called him that in quite awhile...

                          So, Jon is a trueborn Targaryen. I know I argued with someone about this, but I don't think it was online, it was in person. But regardless, I was vindicated!

                            I'm pretty sure that a lot/most people thought that was going to be the case. Especially since the episode from last year with Bran using his green sight to visit his father's visit to that tower and walking out with a baby.

                            Also, this helps Dany keep with the tradition of Targaryens marrying family to keep bloodline pure.

                              But, this last episode is the first time they have said that Rhaegar and Lyanna were actually married. Well, Sam didn't let Gilly get that far, but that was what she was reading. Meaning, he's not a bastard at all. I have long thought that they were likely married, but some thought he was still a bastard, just not Ned's bastard.

                                I was thinking bastard, but that didn't much matter to me, in the end.

                                Regardless, Jon Snow doesn't have Dany's true dragon blood (is that what they're calling it?) rolling through him, otherwise he wouldn't have been burned while grabbing and tossing the lantern when fending off those white walkers while saving the Lord Commander during season 1. Still, he must have a touch of it, given Dragos' relative obedience and allowing Jon to touch him.
