It's very strange to me that Arya rode off at the end of the penultimate episode on a Deus ex machina white horse and then we don't even see the horse in the finale. What was that all about? I have a hard time believing they would include that slowmo shot of her approaching the horse with the angelic music playing if it wasn't important somehow.

Another thing that I have a hard time believing is that a dragon understands that the throne symbolizes the power that corrupted his mom which led to her demise. I mean, there are plenty of humans that can't understand symbolism to that degree. Yet here is this dragon opting to destroy the symbol of the thing that killed his mom rather than the literal person that killed his mom who was standing right there.

So I am choosing to believe that in both of those cases it was Bran that was controlling the animals. Bran was pulling the strings the whole time. Why else would he tell Tyrion he had no interest in being lord of Winterfell and then 2 episodes later he tells Tyrion that the whole reason he came to Kings Landing was to become king?
