For BC (assuming he reads this thread; I can't remember):

All true, but none of that really helps.

Bran isn't an actual, physical witness; I'm not sure what probative value the visions of a greenseer have.

And Rob's actions just make the situation worse- that makes Jon Ned's legal son, and removes his claim to the throne via Targaryen blood. At best, that makes him "legitimate" King In The North (to the extent that a breakaway rebellious region is legit), not of the full Seven Kingdoms. We're hypothesizing a bake off between Jon (quasi legitimate son of the Targaryen Crown Prince), and Daenerys (acknowledged younger sister of the Targaryen Crown Prince, and last known surviving member of the royal family). Jon's connection to Rhaegar is all that counts. Take it away and he's just a dude that has a disturbing tendency to make everyone around him die unpleasantly.

As for proving the marriage, we'd need a marriage certificate, if such a thing even exists in Westeros, or the priest and/or witnesses from the ceremony, and I'm gonna guess that those folks, if there were any to begin with, are dead or unknown.

Lol bake off

how are they gonna wrap up the entire series if it's going this slowly?!?

Yes, in 12 episodes. This has been building for 7 years, and the conflict plus aftermath will be less than 6 episodes next season. Kind of silly seven years in we don't know what the white walkers want and why, and why now. We think their goal is to bring apocalypse. But why?

My thoughts.

Magic. Duh.

Their goal is to kill off all the peripheral characters to tidy up the ending.

Feels like that is their way to end it, which is also a shame...

 

[SixOhNine]

Jon and Dany get it on, Sansa murders Littlefinger, Arya murders Cersei, the dragons murder all the illegal aliens trying to cross that big beautiful wall, and Tyrion and Varys end up running the whole damn country because nobody else seems to give a **** about keeping the lights on.

Boom. Done in two episodes, max.

No more sand snakes.

Who brings a whip to a knife fight??

Much joy at the SS being killed off. Funny that it took Euron Greyjoy (not a renowned fighter exactly) to do what Jaime Lannister and Bronn could not. I guess they have merged his character with Victorian though, based on his charging an enemy ship with an axe.

Also major props to Euron for saving us from the worst lesbian scene ever.

Unfortunately, he didn't kill Ellaria. And isn't one of the girls still alive? I feel like the producers haven't finished torturing us with that ****** Dornish storyline yet.

 

[Ataturk]

The whip again. A dart, a dart, my kingdom for a dart! And what self-respecting quasiviking strangles pretty young women when he doesn't have to?

I enjoyed the hell out of it, though. It was a pleasant change of pace to see all those scrawny women lose their plot armor and suddenly find themselves unable to easily overpower full grown men.

Happy to see Arya's doggy back, tho

I was confused... was that really Nymeria? Arya said something like "It's not you" under her breath. Also the show cut a lot of the "wolf dreams" Arya had in the books, so the connection to her direwolf is less tangible.
