That infographic makes things more complicated than they need to be.
Which I suppose was the point.

in a fit of boredom of been reading a few GoT conspiracy theory websites. All seem to focus around the idea that Daneryus is going to pull in to Blackwater Bay and fight if out directly. This may just be the Marine Corps in me, but this seems like the stupidest idea possible. Why would someone with what may be the most ruthless ground force in history attempt an amphibious landing, with a force that has no naval assault experience, at a place that has already defended against a sizable force? D could land 30 miles up shore and march on King's Landing, easily overwhelming the defenses, while still bombarding from the sea and landing a smaller force as a distraction from the main assault.

I'd think that her Hand of the Queen would advise (from first hand experience) that trying to invade Kings Landing via Blackwater Bay is a recipe for disaster. Who knows if that's really going to happen. Lapses in logic/leaps of faith aren't uncommon with the GoT's writers.......
Oh, I think Euron and the Ironborn are going to attack Dany and her fleet long before she gets to Blackwater
If I recall correctly, Aegon the Conqueror landed in Westeros with a couple of dragons and about 2000 troops.
Dany has a horde of Unsullied, Dothraki, and regular troops (presumably from Mereen, Dorne, and Highgarden). Oh, and 3 dragons.
I give her pretty good odds.

All dragons are not built equally. I didn't read the books, but I have read that young dragons are no match for the firepower and destruction that older dragons could wreak. Dany's trio aren't more than 2 years old in even the most accelerated show timelines. Dragons could continue to grow for most of their lives, and could live to be several centuries old.
Aegon's were likely much older than Dany's.

Just finished the five episodes of Season 6 thanks to HBO's free weekend. While it was good as usual, I'm glad I didn't subscribe to it.

Just spent the past week binge-watching season 6. Wow! I love the show, but frankly, all the family interconnections discussed here are just giving me a headache.
The one thing that I wanted, but didn't happen, was in that last scene with Sansa and Ramsey, I wanted Sansa to do the "dinner" whistle for the dogs.
Also, 7 episodes in season 7? Ten was too short!

This is what is going to maintain the high quality of this series. Get in, get out, don't do a Sopranos or Walking Dead and stay too long at the fair.
July 16. Season 7. Can't wait.

Solid start to the season...... 
An enjoyable beginning. I wish the White Walkers would pick up their pace. They've been slow walking to the Wall for 6 years.
Great start to the season.
I doubt we'll get many slow episodes these final two seasons, given the amount of material they need to cover in a short time frame.
Also exciting to see that even though we're only getting 7 episodes, they're all at least one full hour long (with the exception of ep. 4), and 6 and 7 are 71 and 81 minutes respectively.
Episode 1: 59 minutes.
Episode 2: 59 minutes.
Episode 3: 63 minutes.
Episode 4: 50 minutes.
Episode 5: 59 minutes.
Episode 6: 71 minutes.
Episode 7: 81 minutes.
