@Kirwan shame Drogon? wasnt as agile as Rhaegal in being able to avoid those big arse spears.
Duno how you guys remember their names, bloody hope there aren't anymore for that reason, silly names.
They're named after the important men in Dany's life: Khal Drogo her late husband, and her two brothers Viserys and Rhaegar.
That's why she rides Drogon, rather then the other two. Drogon is also the biggest dragon (like Drogo the man), as he wasn't kept in captivity in Mereen for several years like Rhaegal and Viserion were, which stunts a dragon's growth.
John riding Rhaegal is symbolic as it was named after his secret father (not that he knew this at the time). I say "it" as dragons are gender fluid in the books, as a few other ppl noted.
It's also symbolic that Viserion was the dragon the Night King resurrected after death to fight against the other two. Viserys the man turned on his sister Dany in season 1, threatening to kill her in order to get Khal Drogo to give him his army, before getting killed by molten gold topping on his head.

What shits me about the TV series is that the books are full of cool links/symbolism/foreshadowing which don't come through in the show. I guess some of that is necessary to fit all the detail of thousands of pages of writing into (only!) 8 seasons.
To be fair the show did get in a few throwback zingers from Bran, like "chaos is a ladder" to Littlefinger in season 7 and "the things we do for love" to Jamie in season 8.

@RLx31 had to watch that a few times to see the bloody things!
Thinking back to S1, where did the eggs come from?
Might just be birds but in that scene of the trailer Dany is staring out looking quite content... Methinks more dragons,I hope anyway
Re eggs.. Weren't they dormant or something can't quite remember eitherThey were a wedding gift from the protector of Danerys and Viserys, the guy that brokered her marriage to Drogo. Can't remember the character's name or where he said he got the eggs from. He was played by Roger Allam is about all I can recall.

Love this theory doing the rounds today... This one makes a lot of sense...

@RLx31 sounds far too clever for the writers

That was Illyrio Mopatis (I looked that up). It appears they've just spliced his character together with Varys now.

Once again, better than the show. I particularly like
"It's like a meta-message to the audience telling us the gods, the prophecies, and the magic in the story won't be explained. So don't think about it"
Some one pointed out in the comments
Arya to Jon: Family have to stick together
nek minute
Arya to Hound: I'm not coming back either -

@Machpants not an uncommon tactic in alot of battles...tough building a castle and walls to keep 10s of thousands safe inside...except Winterfell.
Battle is fought outside and directed form the inside...unless you have dragons, then you fuck off and fly around in the fog
-
@taniwharugby When it's as big as King's Landing, I don't think they'd have a problem!
-
@Machpants true but maybe not to defend from?
THat said, the people of the 7 Kingdoms are not exactly military tactical geniuses...

Ok......
I liked it alot. I am sure I will be in the minority. But I think they pulled that off REALLY well.
I was more invested than I have been in seasons -
