Cheers for clearing that up. Makes sense now.
What did peoples think to Tyrian at the end? Made it look like he was upset at them banging and didnt know what to do with him self whilst creeping about in the shadows.

The mountain isn't undead, Qyburn saved him from death at great cost. He never died.
And those saved by the lord of light are not undead in the same sense, they're more resurrected.

Peter Dinklage talked about it in the behind the episode thing. Tyrion is concerned that now is completely the wrong place/time for them to be getting involved with one another and that their feelings for one another are going to get in the way of their leadership decisions - it goes back to that Aemon Targaryen scene (see below) and that often these passionate trysts historically don't end well.
I did think it was a nice touch that Qyburn didnt seem scared by the wight, rather he seemed fascinated and intrigued, as if he was thinking ahh the things I could do if I knew how this worked
'king A. Some people need to start using PMs cos no one else in the thread is remoptely interested in two idiots sniping at each other in a childish attempt to get the last word. one fo you likes the season, one of you doesn't - if you're that bothered about the other's stance you have very very sad lives.
how about a call to ban these two from the thread as they're filling it up w/ pointless infantile bickering no that hasn't gone anywhere in the past 20 posts beyond a spat fest about who can use quote tags.

I did enjoy the execution of littlefinger by his own blade, the game that started the entire game of thrones.
Generally a good episode. Ice fire working on an ice wall was a bit weird but there you go. One disappointment for me was the death of Littlefinger. After all his plots and scheming the death felt a little abrupt and not quite as epic as I hoped.
You can tell they are rushing to finish now but still it's blinking compelling viewing.

I was doing a bit of a mental comparison in my head between the heads of the houses at the start of S1 and the heads now. One thing that really stood out to me is, assuming that Jon's heritage means he renounces any claim over Winterfell, the most powerful houses in the north are now likely to be headed by a compilation of powerful women who look like some of the more competent leaders that have existed in the show. Arya and Sansa for house Stark are likely to be an absolute force to be reckoned with, I've got a lot of time for mini-Mormont (certainly wouldn't mess with her), and if the Iron Island situation pans out well then Yara is the head of House Greyjoy. With the exception of one ruler, the women in GoT seem to be infinitely more competent than the men (and even in Cersei's case you could argue that she not incompetent, just mental).
Obviously you need to discount Dorne, but my God everyone over there appears to be useless anyway.

The only thing that bugged me about that episode really, was the feeling that the writers/producers created an episode and thought "Oh ****, what about the Night King and white walkers?!" and then just decided to slap it at the end with the dragon taking down the wall in what felt like 5 minutes.
I found it cheap, very cheap. But then again, this season has been terrible for just being cheap and slapping stuff together because they know the recipe of action and shock sells, so **** you, you'll watch it.
Nice to see lose ends being tied and things coming together. But executed badly IMO, I'm disappointed but still entertained. I suppose, like the team behind the show, I too can't wait for it to finish now.

GRRM has also said (citation needed) that he never intended that all of the Targaryen's be fire proof and that Dany's funeral pyre survival was a one off, or related to 'blood magic'. This is then negated by the scene with the Khals though in TV continuity... so, as you say, all bets are off.
Jon did burn, but he also died and was brought back by the Lord of Light, a god of fire, so there is always that out, too.
LMAO, being compared to a mix of those two, probably the most brutal insult I have ever seen on this forum.
Meh regardless of the "magic creature yo" concept, for me it was all too quick and convenient. But yeah, I understand why they need to rush it along to get to the end game and at least I guess we will have a proper ending.
Not really a one off, early in S1 she gets in a very hot bath and doesn't flinch, she also handles a very hot dragon egg and it doesn't mark her hand.
Maybe Danys is fireproof because of two Targaryen parents and as Jon has a Stark for one stops that him being fireproof.
Also why is everyone so upset about the Dany/Jon sex (when it's his aunt). but nobody really seems to care about the brother/sister sex.
Well GRRM has been quite a vocal feminist and strangely...a pacifist.
I just assumed it was higher temperature flame...blue flame is generally hotter than red/yellow, there are exceptions of course.

Not sure if I missed something or perhaps had too much beer but how did the unsullied get to kings landing?
The blue is in all probability just to distinguish the fire from the non-wight dragons, and there is as yet zero indication (other than in our minds grasping for explanations) that it has properties any different to regular dragon fire.
