I think he read that they were married in secret and had a child, but Sam didn’t know that it was JS. Only Bran knew that.

He only read about the wedding - because the Maester performed it. Nobody knew about the child except Ned and Howland Reed and I guess a few nursemaids.

I both like and dislike the sentence. On one hand, I like that Dany may end up sitting on the Iron Throne with hordes of enemies and friends alike laying dead at her feet. On the other hand, I dislike that Dany may be assassinated, with folks from Kings Landing to Winterfell breathing a sigh of relief. The series finale will not be a happy ending either way for me--but I can live with option A.

There may not be any middle ground but there are tons of rubble you can get buried alive in.

I don't care if it has a happy ending because I don't care who survives any longer or who sits on the throne. Jon Snow? What a wus. Dany? Nope. A little too vindictive and a bad Mommy. Arya? Quitter, send her to the store with a list and she forgets the most important item on the list. Sansa? She'd creep the subjects out just starting at them Bran? He decides to hang with the ravens at the most inopportune moments, serious ADD. Tyrion? Booster chair on the throne would look silly.
I am just ready for it to end for the anticipation with which I greeted this final season has dwindled and I thought I would be all nuts for the finale but I am just more interested to see how they're going to end it and if that can salvage the dissatisfaction that so many are expressing. And I admit that I was probably expecting too much so some of this is on me.

I think it is the end of a Monarchy in Westeros..... I think they go a government or Parliament with equal voting rights to the 7 Kingdoms
How can anyone from the North ever go back to a King after beating the Army of the Dead and watching what Daeneryus just did
That of course is contingent on Arya/Jon killing Dany and the Dragon

She was killed by the Red Keep..... the one place where she ever felt safe and strong... very ironic and fitting after the way she blew up the Sept of the Baelor
It was agonizing watching her denial and then seeing her fear and powerlessness was very moving

Pretty sure Jon can be burned by fire and the Dragon
He would used that power when trapped at Winterfell with the Ice Dragon

But would he have realized he had it at that point.

Probably not, but he's only half Targaryen, so who knows?

I think you're dying to find symbolism or meaning where there is none
Poorly written
30 min of a dragon destroying the city which could have been covered in 5 min
As I've said before GOT has built its reputation on doing the uunexpected. This was all chalk. Not a single surprise in the entire episode
Very disappointing

I think that's something we will find out in the finale. Azor Ahai prophecy said that he would take lightbringer out of the fire.

Yes, it can. He is not fire proof. And according to Martin, in the books, neither is Dany. He says the birth of the dragons was a singular event (though her not noticing the hot water and holding the hot eggs was in the books - perhaps she is heat resistant?).

It's funny you say there wasn't a single surprise...yet most of the whining seems to be people who were surprised (of course, they will say there wasn't enough build up, yet they completely expected it, which doesn't really work logically).
I would agree there really weren't any major surprises (outside of the means of Cersei's death), but I don't think surprise is good in and of itself. Nor is a lack of surprise necessarily bad.

As it's been said here and in the show, there are no happy endings and we've had endings every season and so far this season, quite a few surprise endings for me based on my expectations before the season began. I did not expect the Night King to end in episode 3 or Cersei and Jaime in 5 and I would have preferred for the Night King to go last. However, with so many deaths to deal in only 6 episodes, they have to space the important ones out to accentuate the death of each major character and they still have some hanging around for 6 that we're making suppositions about but don't really know.
Who will be left standing or even sitting on the Iron Throne? And just as big a question as who will die is who will do the deed? It is intriguing because I have to leave my own morality out of it and apply Westeros morality. For all the talk about caring for the common people, they sure show it in peculiar ways, don't they?
Ya know, most feel this has resolution, Dany went south and she must die, Jon's got a great fighting backbone but when it comes to women he's putty, Arya has gotten neck deep in the dark side, Sansa is aloof and Bran is already checked out and needs Third Eye Blind and that leaves the main character of this story, imo. This has all been about Tyrion's journey, his self actualization and realization that of all the Lannisters, he was the soul of the family. And inviting revenge and death has defied everyone he's encountered along this journey up to the one he served and knows all too well what she is capable of when she senses betrayal.
He's the one. The smallest of all of them with the largest heart and the most pain all of his life identifies with those common people and understands them better than anyone. He will be a compassionate and just ruler of the seven kingdoms. The question is as Dany's Hand, do the people hold him as responsible as her for cold blooded murder?
