I am Very Upset About the Title of the Game of Thrones Finale
HBO has announced the title of the season 7 finale, and it's going to make some fans extremely happy.
"The Dragon and the Wolf" will screen Sunday, August 27 at 9 P.M. (ET/PT). Like Sunday's episode, the episode is feature-film length, at 79 minutes and 43 seconds.
The title indicates that the episode will focus on two of the series' most popular characters, Daenerys Targaryen (the "dragon") and Jon Snow (the "wolf"). Fans have been very excited about the duo as a potential couple, spurred by several very obvious hints in the show-despite the equally heavy hints that the two are actually related by blood. Does the pairing in the title imply that their attraction to each other will come to the fore? Or does it mean that their familial connection will be revealed by Bran Stark, who has observed Jon's birth with his powers as the Three-Eyed Raven-precipitating a showdown between Jon and Dany?
There is one other way to read this-if Jon Snow really is Dany's nephew, like the show has strongly hinted, is he really the "wolf" of the title? Or is that a reference to one of the other Starks-Sansa, Arya, or even Bran?
We'll be finding out soon enough.
