The Hound has actually never demonstrated that skill! He spent all of the first six seasons in a very reasonable amount of space, and he disappeared for five episodes in Season 7 before making it to E-Watch.

You're right, I just realized that he's been part of the Brotherhood recently, the only group besides the WW that doesn't have teleportation. My bad.

It's okay. If you want, you can pretend the Brotherhood made it Eastw*tch in one episode and spent the next four in the jail cell.

for anyone who watches trailers but not leaks - who the hell do you think is falling out of that boat in the S7 trailer?!

Were they? I must have missed them mentioning that. The warhammer and Tormund's axe were conventional weaponry though, I thought his were too.

that's why the hound eventually dropped the hammer and started using daggers too
---

I finally bothered to watch the latest episode

so the prevailing theory has to be that D&D just want this shit to be over with and start filming based on the first draft of the script, right? so many little details that could have been changed to make the episode 100x less stupid

i saw a theory that Daario Naharis and Euron Greyjoy are the same person

They conveniently wrote Daario out of the show as soon as they decided they needed Euron.... hmmmmmm

I'll be very surprised if that one ISN'T true.

Daario = Euron was always a silly theory.

but yes it is a theory
---

I thought the warning for perusing GoT on the internet is that "all theories are true"?
---

The show has already (probably) debunked a few of them! You could argue the theories are still alive for the books, I guess.
---

i still believe in bolt on

Where the hell did Daario go, anyway?

Ned + Ashara Dayne = Jon for sure

Left behind in Mereen, wasn't he? Something about how Dany can't conquer Westeros while being so distracted by her feelings for him. *cough*notthatthat'sstoppinghernow*cough*

Her reasoning was that if no one was left in Mereen to keep order, the city would collapse, and she didn't want her boytoy around when she was cruising for husbands. Then she told Tyrion that she felt nothing for the guy, which surprised her because she thought it would be harder to dump him.
---

Oh right, now I remember because people started getting excited for MAD QUEEN over her lack of emotion.
---

Oh, you mean the writers just handwaved away his entire character and that entire arc because it'd be too hard to pretend it's a real thing?
---

The only true theory is Euron is Stannis.
---

so tl;dr version for euron = daario is

1. daario is suspicious because when the three stormcrows captains are introduced to dany, he has very reserved body language, acts polite, and doesn't say or do much of anything. however, when he comes back later, he starts acting like a completely different person. his body language and manner of speech are more bold and loud. additionally, he has salt stains on his boots which seem to indicate that he's been on a ship recently. the idea here is that the original daario was killed along with the other two stormcrows captains, and whoever killed them replaced daario by taking his form and using his position of authority to get close to dany.

2. if you presume that daario is suspicious you have to then wonder who he actually is. one indicator that it could be euron is the fact that euron seems to know a lot about dany's movements. specifically, he knows a lot of information relating to her that a person would only know if they had been near dany up until a certain point in time. this means he was following, spying on, or even a person close to dany for some point during the story before he returned to the iron islands. I do not consider this proof that he IS daario, it's just proof that he was paying close attention to dany.

3. pyat pree and three warlocks leave qarth in pursuit of dany to exact revenge on her. euron captures 4 warlocks. we can assume these are the same warlocks. it's likely he learned about dany and about the different savior birthing prophecies that relate to her from the warlocks. we know this is probably why euron is interested in dany. he also knows information relating to her movements AFTER this point in time, which means that he did not just get information about what dany was doing from the warlocks. he heard about dany from the warlocks, but then he went to see for himself and either followed her around or got close to her somehow.

4. euron appears in the story sometime after daario would have left dany. daario returns to dany at some point after euron leaves the iron islands. there is a bit of confusion here because of the order of certain chapters, and the fact that travel times are not known concretely, but based on the information that euron has access to regarding dany's movements it must be true that he was near dany up until a certain point in time. and this is after daario leaves her.

basically it's possible but that doesn't mean it's likely

also we do have reason to believe daario is suspicious, and we know for certain that euron is interested in dany
---

That's kinda interesting. If you don't mind my asking (and this is pointed generally to everyone not just Maria), what is the evidence to the theory that Bran is the Night King?
---

I'm not reading theories (spoilers) but why would Daario round up all the ironborn and go kill the greyjoy kids?

You've got it backwards. The theory is Euron is the one portraying himself as Daario.
---

you're kinda putting the cart before the horse. the idea is that euron is interested in dany and that he took the place of daario in order to get close to her. not that daario decided to sail to westeros and become an ironborn guy.

that being said your question seems to be based on the show version of the characters, which are not really anything like the book versions. nor do any of the storylines have much in common. to answer your question more directly; 'it wouldn't make any sense for show daario to be show euron'

welp

Hypeee

Euron in the preview, good sign
---

Lol every single character not named stark or little finger in one place
---

"This is the only thing that terrifies me"

Subtle writing!

You doubted me!
---

Oh my god the winterfell scenes are DUMB
---

Cool, more incest

that was alright

I found that to be pretty good.

Did Littlefinger surpass Stannis as most disappointing character in the show?
---

Littlefinger got robbed as expected. There was no way out of that shitty sideplot. But if it weren't for meddling omniscient crippled boys, he would have gotten away with it.


It's Articuno!
---

Very satisfying season finale
---

I know everyone in this topic is gonna bitch and complain about what happened with Littlefinger but I greatly enjoyed that entire scene, especially bringing in Bran like "Nah I'm the Three Eyed Raven I can check you motherfucker".


Like they finally brought Bran back in to great effect this episode!

Littlefinger was a dishorable scumbag who got what he deserved. He thought he was clever, but it all finally caught up to him.
---

And yea in general great season finale, I really really enjoyed it
---

Littlefinger sucked in the show anyway. Aidan Gillian did a horrible job portraying the character as anything other than a smarmy weasel that no sane person would ever trust under any circumstances.
---

most disappointing part of the episode was rhaegar looking like a real goober
---

Yeah I don't know what you expected/wanted from him. This is exactly what he was always meant for

I mean.....that's what I liked about Littlefinger? Like even in the books I thought he was super slimy and I really think people overcompensate for him being so nuanced.

But he wasn't defeated by any kind of cunning or wit. He was foiled because there is a literal omniscient god character who can rat him out. That was wholly unsatisfying, probably even more so if you hate him.

Wtf that was super satisfying to have someone check his shit like that
