JON SNOW IS WHAT? - KNOW YOUR THRONES, the Game of Thrones Nerdalong for Season 7 Episode 5

i love these.

By the way, to Jon and Adam:

White Walkers are the Ice Demon guys

Wights are the zombies

You guys keep using the term "White Walker" to refer to the Wights.

There are a small number of White Walkers, and they possess terrifying powers. Wights are a product of White Walkers, and they're essentially undead pawns that the White Walkers use to fight their battles. Both are frightening and deadly though.

The group going north of the wall is trying to catch a "Wight." One of the undead zombie soldiers. It would be ridiculous to even try to catch and transport a magical Ice Demon that can resurrect any dead he comes by. A single zombie is much easier.

There are some moments to appreciate but the fact that they are rushing everything, it rly does bleed thru on screen. Like instead of that organic natural passage of time that you feel thru thruout a season over the course of 10 episodes, you have this crammed, "montage" feel rather than an episodic feel. The scenes feel too cut and paste as they time hop to crunch and condense everything. I really don't understand how they could do this to the series. It's the one series that was perfect in every way, but now it is flawed because for whatever reason, they've decided to rush thru the climax.Why, oh why, oh why. :/

Another complaint is that I wanted Dany to ask how he was cured and Jorah say that Sam Tarly cured him and when Dany's eyes widened as she remembered who she just burned, Jon smiles and says "Sam, looks like he is doing well in Oldtown." and then he goes on to explain that Sam is his best friend.

That way Dany realizes she just burned the father and brother of the man who cured grayscale on her friend and who is also the best friend of a man she may love... she burned them like rickard and brandon stark mad queen style.

Whoever in the chat that said Valyrian steel is made of dragonglass has been reading too many fan theories. Nowhere in the novels does it talk about how Valyrian steel is made. There's a reference to the swords as "dragonsteel," but that is it.

I hate not being able to be up to date on GOT. I only get to watch about 50% of RTP and Off Topic until the hint at something and I shut it off. I haven't really watched any of The Know since the season started, and certainly can't watch anything like this :(

Gendry has to live so Arya and him can see each other again. 

I believe Daenerys her reaction to Jon going beyond the wall himself to get a walker was evidence enough that some feelings are brewing within. Sudden heavy breathing and immediately making an excuse to try and get Jon to stay.

I think that being raised from the dead by the Red God's magic makes you immune from being raised as a Wight (not white walkers, the white walkers are the ice demon dudes). So Beric and Jon are immune. 

Where's Ghost?!

Ashley needs to bring her mic much closer to her

If Jaime saves Bron from Cersei's wrath and Bron saves Ellaria and Tyene on the way out, it could be a good parallel to Jaime saving Tyrion, then Tyiron killing Tywin. It could make Jaime even more pissed at Tyrion, or make him think it was a good choice.

Either way, I still think Cersei was bluffing about the poison and wants Ellaria and Tyene to be in a constant state of panic for weeks without knowing how much time has passed and they're just planning to starve Tyene. 

I disagree about Bran. Rewatching season 1, he was pretty boring aside from being a total brat. I need to rewatch 2-5, but I much prefer season 7 Bran to season 1 Bran.

If Beric dies here in the show, maybe people will finally stop theorizing about Catelyn's return. It's possible he could die here in the show and it's Jorrah in the books. Assuming this mission will even happen. I think Jon and Sandor are the only ones in the group who are safe. Jon already died and his death has to be epic, if it even happens. Sandor has to face off with Brienne, Arya, and Gregor before this show's over or even come to some sort of understanding with Brienne and Arya. Everyone else will probably die, Beric and Jorrah being most likely in my opinion.

Keep in mind that the next episode is 70 minutes and the one after that is 80. It's very possible they won't do the usual "second-last episode is the big one" now. Both of these are gonna be pretty big, and usually the huge second-last episodes are a huge battle that's been building up forever. That's not exactly the case here. We still have pieces of the puzzle not quite coming together.
