In the 5th book, Dany gets burned by Drogon.

I'm talking about the show lore since it's obvious that Dany has burned herself multiple times to show off to the dothraki
In the book it's whatever Dany loses all her hair(iirc) when she's burned.
Yes in the show she is fire proof. She is the last dragon, and dragons can't be burnt. That is why after her brother dies with his crown of gold she said "He was not the last dragon.".

To be fair Dany would not have survived that either. He didn't die by fire.
Why? You touch hot metal you burn. When she heated up the dragon eggs and touched them, her hand did not burn. Same difference.
also when she enters the water in her first scene
Eh, some of the red shirts could've been saved if they cared about them. But everyone was like "who are you again?" and just left them to die.
And my point is maybe they shouldn't write scenes where someone gets dunked into freezing water for long enough that the enemy starts to retreat and then somehow makes it back to civilization without freezing to death. I've tried waters in those temps in a waterpark and they're no joke.
And that's before getting into Benjen ex Machina.
It doesn't matter what GRRM has told D&D. D&D are going to do what D&D want to do.

Good point but I'd say still being a different element makes it unproven, at the very least having a head full of metal would kill her anyway.
He did it again in book 5 so probably changed his mind.
Apparently she was burned by Drogon.

correct about everything
it really depends on how you read that part. it seems she is fireproof because all her hair burned but there doesn't seem to be any burns on her head, which seems impossible if she is not fireproof, but she has serious burns on her hands after flying drogon.

The above quote also mentions the burns are healing. Dragon fire itself would have melted the hands right off any normal person, along with the heat being that close to the rest of the body would likely cook organs.
Cersei literally has a zombie working for her, raised by Qyburn, so if we go down that route she shouldn't need any external proof that the dead walk.
Hopefully Cersei gets got in the finale, pretty dang sick of show Cersei. Maybe Jamie can pull a Tommen after he offs her, streamline the story EVEN MORE so we can rush to that paint-by-numbers ending D&D has planned.

Was thinking of listening to the audiobooks for the series after this season concludes. I've tried reading AGOT in the past, but my attention span is trash and I bailed out halfway through.
Anyone here listen to the audiobooks before? Heard some mixed things about Dotrice's narration.

Nah, Euron can be the final boss. Or Littlefinger. Or Dark Sansa. Or Moon Boy for all I care.
I think Dotrice is fantastic, although you can hear his age in the DWD audiobook. One of the saddest things about the final books in this series is that even if they come out, we won't get Dotrice narrated audiobooks for them.
Please be Dark Sansa. Would be the most interesting arc for the character imo.

We all know both books and show will have Dany getting pregnant. Possibly even the finale closure.
Maybe she'll have triplets. (Three headed dragon explained!)

If Damy was shot into the sun would she still survive? These are the types of questions that I need answered.
We can always hope Book Sansa has an actual character arc beyond getting raped and being jealous of her cousin.
I very much hope so.

That was fake Arya in the book.
I don't even remember what Sansa is doing in the book...
Edit: I recall now, she's just hanging out with Robin, such a memorable character
Littlefinger is teaching her how to horde food during prosperous times so you can make bank when winter hits. God I miss the books.

Nothing. Just like Tyrion, Dany, Brienne....
Yeah, book Sansa is learning from Littlefinger how to gather power and manipulate people. D&D must have thought that was boring, so instead they had her get raped a bunch of times.
This season Sansa has spent it arguing with/being jealous of her cousin and having some kind of pointless rivalry with her sister.
Of course, Littlefinger went from starting wars, assassinating kings, taking over huge realms to, uh, getting sisters to bicker? "Chaos is a ladder. Nothing starts more chaos than if two sisters who aren't even players in the game of thrones are sort of mean to each other!"
That's why I don't know if I'll bother with the book when it finally does come out. It's been years, I don't remember much and what I do remember could just be the show at this point.
Tyrion showed up to Mereen, but Dany is stranded. Brienne was bitten by some zombie? I have no idea what's going on at King's Landing. Stannis is presumed lost, but maybe not? I can't remember if the white walkers got him or Bolton. What else? Arya is blind in Braavos or something. Jon is waiting to be resurrected.

Tyrion recruited the Second Sons to join Daenerys in Westeros.
Daenerys had a miscarriage and stumbled into Khal Jhaqo's khalasar with Drogon.
Brienne is leading Jaime to meet and probably be executed by the resurrected Catelyn Stark.
Stannis is outside Winterfell with Asha, Theon, and a bunch of Karstarks who are planning to betray him.
Arya was unblinded, killed a guy, and has been raised to a journeyman of sorts.
There is so much going on at the end of ADWD and I can't really blame anyone who forgets what happened. Shit was six years.

Hmm good point. I forgot that it was actually Arya's room, since Sansa was snooping and found the satchel with the faces.

"Normal"?
Thanks, but this just leads down a road of more and more questions, I won't bother you with them. Maybe in 2020 when there's an OT for the next book someone will come up with a recap. Is Theon even Reek? Fuark.

So I read a theory somewhere that involves White Viserion and this (watch from 2:15)
It sounds plausible, seeing how Bran and the Night's King are so closely related now.

extra hilarious because the two girls are indistinguishable from one another [foreground girl is pretty blurred, but still].

I thought that's referring to Bran warging a bunch of birds like he did a couple episodes ago. He's already flown a lot.
I think it was brought up as a interesting/fun point of discussion? I did not read it as a deep question that had any sort of real answer based on lore.
also, it's quite obvious that Jon survived riding through the north, while soaked through, cause he's immune to ice.

Starks have cold resistance +20.
I recall in one of the Catelyn chapters she mentioned that Ned likes it cold, and that after some hot fucking he'd open the windows and freeze their bedroom.
Or something like that.

Didn't (at a panel iirc) Weiss at a panel after season 6 had aired basically say he'll be back for S8?
