At various points, there have been characters questioning the Lord of Light's end game. I feel like they're going to reveal that at some point. Jon suggested that mission. Is it possible he's being manipulated by the entity that brought him back? Could Lol and NK be on the same side? NK was the big winner there (I would trade some ground forces for a dragon lol).
And to me.. It seemed like a setup.. The NK knew he would get a dragon and he baited them into it.
He baited them into being stuck on that island so that Danny would come with her dragon and he would take it out. That was his plan.
I didn't want Danny to lose a Dragon on this show and how she ended up losing 1 of them upsets me because of how dumb the whole thing was.
IF the books are like this then it seems like a very Lazy way for GRRM to get a dragon to the white walkers.
Im hoping the White Walker storyline isn't what kills this show. It's been so great and well thought out and last nights episode was great but it was so stupid as to why they went beyond the wall and what they lost for it.
Also, why did Benjin Stark not just hop up on the Horse with Jon? What was the point of that?
