Dragon's glass and Valayrian Steel (from the lands the Targaryens ruled) seem to be the only thing we know that can kill white walkers.

Very true. Also remember that the Army of the Dead can only be permanently killed by fire, otherwise, they keep resurrecting. Seems that would be a rich target environment for the drrragons (three r's).

MAYBE SPOILER ALERT

I like the big battle scenes they have done even the long ones.

Last night was a good mix to me battle plot movement dialogue

cearsi is in for public humiliation IIRC there was a lot of publicity before the season. A walking nude scene filmed at a cost of 500,000

Howland Reed is the only living person now who knows the truth, and he’s not been mentioned in a long while.

Personally, I like the Howland Reed = High Sparrow theory. It would put him in a good place to exact some justice for the Starks.

I think Daenerys allies herself with the Dothraki principle that leadership is not inherited, but earned through strength and bravery. Khal Drogo, Daenerys' husband and a Dothraki, died on his way to take the Iron Throne from Robert Baratheon after he sent an assassin for Daenerys. Daenerys used Khal Drogo's funeral pyre to hatch her dragons. The name of this episode was Fire and Blood.

I believe the book, A Song of Fire and Ice, is a clue about the eventual battle between to Daenerys and her dragons with White Walkers. Even though Jon Snow is at the wall, his dark hair and eyes remind me Robert Baratheon's bastard child. Raeghar was blonde. Lyanna had ginger hair and light skin. I don't see the R + L = J theory working out. Gendry is a Baratheon bastard. I think Jon Snow is a Baratheon bastard.


Gendry


Jon Snow

If I were you, I would honestly just skip the books at this point.

If you read the books you are just going to be completely confused because you’ll think the whole story is about wolves, dozens of random lords that die just after you finally remembered who they were, and dead people that dont stay dead for long (and I dont mean white walkers)

Whatever happened to that one bastard son of Robert’s, the one that Ned first noticed, with the black hair? Is he dead? I can’t remember. He’s the one that made that wonderful helmet that he wouldn’t sell to Ned Stark.

And if R actually married Lyanna, then Jon would be legitimate.

Game of Thrones...takes place on a specially contructed moon...designed to develop a hardened race who could survive the rigors of the planet they are traveling to. My predictions for the final books and series final seasons...., also George Tsoulakis may appear as a cameo star!
(all said in jest of course...but I love driving my son crazy by saying science fiction and space travel are going to enter into the series some how!)

Gendry. In the show, he’s still rowing his boat. In the books, he was with the Brotherhood as a smithy.

My dream would be for Sam to go to Oldtown (as he does in the book), find an ancient text about forging Valaryian Steel, link up with Gendry (who apprenticed under the only man who could manipulate VS), and start mass-producing the Walker-slaying weaponry.

Long-shot, but it’d be cool.

Gendry was last seen in a rowboat. Melisandre was planning to sacrifice him to the Red God (because of his kings blood), but Ser Davos saved him, put him in a rowboat, and told him to get as far away as he could.
