Jon is asking Daenerys to completely change her plans for conquest on nothing but his word. Her not immediately trusting him was perfectly reasonable.

at the same time, to have a "grumkins and snarks" attitude after already witnessing confirmed magic is silly.
it's reasonable that she didn't just take a stranger's word for it, but stupid for her to be all like:

Or No One?

I think No One is playing a different sort of game.

Yaaaayyyyy. Gendry finally stopped rowing his boat

I loved how casually they had Gilly drop that lore bomb.

I thought it was stupid.

Also, Arya sucks at being an assassin.

Did they teach this broad how to sneak around?

tbf, are assassins typically in the business of espionage? Don't they typically use their stealth to kill, rather than gather intel?

i don't think she'd have a problem killing Little Finger if she wanted to.

so sad this is ending.

It's going to be very interesting to see what Sam does considering his best friend's new ally just burned Sam's family alive.

Yeah, I thought she was supposed to have learned these mystical skills like a ninja. But Littlefinger saw right through her.

The way he smirked at Arya's fighting, I wonder if once upon a time he was on the path to becoming "No One". Remember, he has a family history at Braavos.The faces sure would be useful in gathering intel..

Honestly Littlefinger is starting to annoy me. What is his purpose now? What could his goals possibly be? Back when the series started and Westeros was divided into numerous rivaling factions, it made sense for his "chaos is a ladder" manipulations. But now, with the Westeros war about to come to a ceasefire and the incoming White Walker invasion, there don't seem to be a lot of places where chaos can be sewn and power can be gained. His plot with Arya is a desperate last ditch effort to gain Sansa's trust back. Besides Sansa, he has no major Northern allies, Cersei wants him dead, and with Tyrion and Varys advising Damy, there's no way Little finger can manipulate her. So after 7 seasons of jumpstarting the plot and scheming to have it all, Littlefinger has ended up essentially trapped at the Wall as a notoriously untrustworthy advisor to Sansa. For all his ladder climbing, he seems to be nothing more than an obsolete cog.

Assassins are in the business of moving around unseen.

Picturing Galen Tyrol discovering Tory sent Cally out the airlock.. Sam's not normally violent, but learning your family was burned alive would drive anyone to strangle the *****. And now we know Jon Snow can control the dragons.. End game could have him riding a dragon in to the white walker horde.

? I feel like that was the big reveal for the episode. This episode was filled with a lot of gut-wrenching moments, despite being "slow" by this season's standards. My favorite was Tyrion trying to repair his relationship with Jaime. You could feel the regret.

I don't expect the ceasefire to work. Should make for some exciting chaos though. The Jon/dragon scene felt a bit out of nowhere, though I understand why it had to happen. And they're being a little bit too fan-servicey on occasion with references to fan theories ("I thought you might still be rowing" and also the casual annulment tease) and playing on the "shipping" tendencies of the internet (Dany's ever-growing friend zone is basically a meme by now). But it's hard to knock the show when it doesn't seem to have time for unimportant scenes (i.e. the time-filler segments that occasionally plagued past seasons). Always something to excite.

is more doomed than littlefinger.

Does anyone else think that Jon, bringing a wight to cersie, whose army is decimated, who's desperate for soldiers, whose Hand is Qyburn, a Maester with a penchant for necromancy, is going to end poorly for everyone?

i just think kidnapping a whight is a very dumb plot. we'll see, i guess.

Agreed. Sure, it make sense to send one down south to prove they exist. But going across the Wall to capture one seems like it should be doomed to failure.
