Am I the only one that thinks the night king must have been a descendant of the targaryans having survived the dragon fire?
Great episode cant help but wish that the hound should have said cunt at least once, also wish Bron was there for the comedy factor
The Night King can't be a targaryen because he was created thousands of years prior to current day Westeros and Aegon the Conqueror (the first Targaryen to leave Valyria) only invaded the continent some 300 years ago.
Also, Leaf said in the cave that the NK was a first man they captured to use as a weapon. Starks were first men.
(Btw: Most targaryens can burn. In the books, Danaerys isn't impervious to fire. The scene where she was unharmed in the blaze during the birth of her dragons was a one time supernatural event. They only added her continual fire resistance to the show (but then her brother was affected by heat) and Jon also got burnt early on so in the show we know that it's only targaryens that are "the dragon" are invulnerable to heat and fire)).

wouldn't it be interesting if the person who ended up on the throne was Gendry? Being the legitimate heir to Robert he is pretty high on the list of characters to take the throne
That's interesting but from what we know so far, isn't he illegitimate?
