--- Quote from: Cornelius on 17 May 2019, 08:08 --- (click to show/hide)Well, while I'm still not on board with Targaryen immunity to fire, there is the fact that he's been resurrected by Melisande. The Red God's resurrections seem to have caught some affinity with his element. It's possible, though I don't quite believe Jon will survive in his current form.

(click to show/hide)Under almost all conditions you're most likely right. Jon most likely is not immune to fire, but maybe "unnaturally resistant". The initial thought is nothing more than a fan theory of mine, and most likely false on so many levels.
Cornelius:
Fan theories is what we do. It's much more fun than just waiting to see what happens.
(click to show/hide) that being said, a moment's resistance, combined with Bran getting into Drogon's head, confusing him, if not taking control does have some potential.
LeeC:
Well its all over. I know the internet is going to roast it because it wasn't what they expected or some other reason. I for one actually liked it.

Who knew the real Game of Thrones was the friends we made along the way

Okay, I didn't see the episode by I've read a few post-game recaps so here's my thoughts:
(click to show/hide)Above all else, George R R Martin's thesis is that the liberator is the one least qualified to lead the liberated. After fighting for so long and so brutally, violence and killing becomes the hammer of what starts looking like a world of nails; which is basically the way Daenyerys Targaryen was seeing the world. So, the only possible choice for one to lead the rebuilding is one who wasn't involved in the fight at all and thus can look at the problems in front of him or her without the bitter emotions of the war just ended.
As for the destruction of the Iron Throne? Drogon was wise, I believe, to realise that this cursed artefact was the ultimate cause of all of this and that, with the extinction of House Targaryen, it no longer had any purpose to outweigh its negative temptations.
Similarly, Martin also makes us look at heroes and asks if their path of violence and treachery is really 'heroic', even though what they did was for the greatest and highest of purposes, hence Jon's exile beyond the Wall and Arya's self-banishment to the West.
Finally, he suggests that, sometimes, things are just too broken to fix and you have to be willing to walk way (specifically Sansa and the newly-independent North)
