Even if Baby Sam were actually Sam's son, he wouldn't have any claim to any titles because he's a bastard and when Sam joined the Night's Watch, he renounced any claims to any land or titles.
I wonder if Sam has even heard about what happened to his father and brother yet? Those will be some awkward catching-up conversations next year.

I think we've established at this point that Westerosi customs are out the door and practical decisions must be made.
Besides, Sam has the hereditary sword, no one to challenge him for the title and the nights watch is preoccupied with things more important than clerical ommissions and dues collections.
I mean, could you imagine a WOMAN running house Tarley? Absurd.
So did that dragon melt the wall with koolaid or what?
Blue blast?
Blue is not a temperature. Blue is not a flavour.
I'm *assuming* it's ice, but like, plasmafied ice that is so cold and expulsed at such an alarming PSI that it blasts 1000 year old walls into chunky bits in minutes.
Now that the episode has aired, what were the spoilers that steve9981 posted for this week?
One of the spoilers he said did not come to fruition in the episode so I'd caution anyone who might want to repeat what he said verbatim (in case that actually does happen).
He mentioned about Littlefinger and also the dragon/wall thing among the items which did end up happening.

Well now that we are in the off season we can get back to the important matters, figuring out the specs of the Lannister gold carrying wagons.
You never responded to my query about the ability of dragons weighing as much as blue whales achieving flight, and their horrible aerodynamic attributes:
It would be hilarious if Cersei was pregnant and had a dwarf, added bonus if she dies in labour.
While I think this post was mostly in best, would Maggie the Frog's prophecy hold true if Cersei died during childbirth?
If it's Jamie's kid it was him impregnanting her that would have lead to her death/killed her. If she dies during childbirth or if the baby is stillborn she would have only had 3 children (3 live children or she didn't have them in a have and to hold sort of way).

You never responded to my query about the ability of dragons weighing as much as blue whales achieving flight, and their horrible aerodynamic attributes:
How do the Dragons achieve flight? One must assume they have hollow bones (except for perhaps their skulls, as we've seen with the ballista demo by Cersei and company). Making up for the lighter bones would be the armour, the scales that harden over time. Obviously those are some sort of Westeros carbon fibre style living material.
Now we now why airplanes fly (Bernouli's theorem and all that), and why helicopters fly (they are so ugly the earth repels them), but how does the dragon achieve flight? I can only come to the conclusion that a wizard made it happen.
I'm also willing to go with insane wing strength to lift off and then while in flight their bodies are shaped so as to have some lifting qualities too (like many fighter designs incorporate now).

I assume a dragon faceoff is looming but given how hard it is to kill these undead animals it's probably going to be tough for two dragons to take down the zombie dragon.
Having NOT read any leaks, this is my guess at how this plays out.
Spoiler!
In the big battle that is coming (I'm guessing it'll end up at Dubrovnik Kings Landing) Zombie dragon is kicking arse and it looks dire. Jon and the Night King end up having the traditional boss vs boss fight. During the fight, and just before zombie dragon is about to win the battle, Jon, in a "sacrifice to kill the opponent move", ends up taking an icicle to the chest in order to get close enough to the NK to pull the magic dragonglass out of him which the tree kids had put there centuries ago. NK turns into regular old Azot Ahai and poof, zombie dragon and all the zombette's are turned to dust. Jon saves the day with his last dying breath.
The popular fan theory is
Spoiler!
Bran and NK are one in the same or different versions of the same being. Sam realizes this and right before the NK is about to win the battle, kills Bran, and poof, zombie dust. Replace Sam with Jon if you desire. My problem with this theory is Bran dying wouldn't really be that bittersweet of an ending which GRRM has hinted at.
Reading the thread and having slept on the episode, I think Tyrion is looking pensive at the end because of whatever Cersei said to him when they met in private, and whatever he promised her to get her troops to fight in the North (why he actually believes she's sending the troops is another matter). Whatever that quid pro quo was probably doesn't bode well for Jon, which is why Tyrion looks conflicted.
I get that they got proof in bringing back that dead walker but I don't think it was worth the tradeoff of giving the white walkers a dragon. I assume a dragon faceoff is looming but given how hard it is to kill these undead animals it's probably going to be tough for two dragons to take down the zombie dragon.

Got a feeling the dragons are all going to eliminate each other while Jon takes out the Night King, which rids Westeros of all of the other undead and White Walkers. There will be lots of action in the meantime of course, but the end game returns Westeros to its status quo - no Walkers, no Dragons. We'll see!

Cersei could really use a round of the Game of Faces. all this time we've been led to believe she wants her bro dead, and then she can't even do it. just like how Arya always thought she wished death on the Hound but a girl lied to herself.
Tyrion said that she's tried to kill him twice though. the trial is one, but I thought they confirmed that the Ser Mandy Moore thing at Blackwater was Joffrey's attempt?

Won't Jamie inform Tyrion in like the first 5 minutes of Season 8 of what transpired in King's Landing with Cersei? This is assuming standard teleportation times that we're seeing lately.
