Did the previous Targarians have control over their dragons? Or do they need to be trained, I figured she'd have some type of innate command over them.

I think she needs to "lock" them in with a braid of her hair to gain complete control. Once she claims one, she can ride it.

I'm liking this thought. Makes sense as the old man said he wouldn't walk but he would fly.

Except that the old man is the 3 eyed RAVEN. Ravens can fly.
You guys are over thinking this. I'm betting it has nothing to do with dragons.

Overthinking?? A dragon has gone missing, the old man told Bran he would fly. It's almost too obvious.

Brienne is pretty badass. She has beaten three individuals that would make the top 10 best fighters in Westeros- Loras, Jaime and the Hound. Sure, Jaime was at a disadvantage not being 100% at the time but still- no excuses for Loras and the Hound.

Hogwash. The neck bite was a bonding moment between him and Arya and nothing more. They were both road weary and on equal footing. Brienne was the better fighter accept it and move on.
To be fair; it seems pretty clear that if they fought 100 times in perfect conditions it would likely come out somewhere close to 50-50.
Why do so many people in here have trouble accepting that a woman can be a serious bad###?
Geez, dude. Relax.
I think I disagree because I believe they showed the Hound flinching at the wound in a following episode. Either way, I don't have any trouble recognizing that Brienne is a badass and that was an intense fight that could have gone either way.

She loved him so much she couldn't kill him, obvs.I guess it really worked. She felt one hell of a bond towards him!

She bit the Hound's ear off and spit it out!
She ####### bit his ear off!!

Fine, maybe bonding was a poor choice of words. Perhaps I should have said that it was a good moment to demonstrate how Arya was pragmatic enough to save the one guy who was keeping her alive.
To play it as some horrible debilitating injury that prevented him from fighting at full strength is pure nonsense.

And she took a brutal shot to her nuts and barely flinched. Let's be honest, pretty much everyone posting here would have called it a life after that.

You forget this is a world with such fantasy concepts as dragons and banking, not necessarily reflecting reality.

You seem to be pretty pro-Brienne for some reason. It's ok if you like her character, but it's clear that The Hound was not 100%, they made several points to show that it was weakening him before this episode because of the fact that he refused to let Arya burn it and it began to fester.
OMG, it was bothering him when they were walking into the Vale and she says he should have let her burn it. It may not have been a "horrible debilitating injury" (nice straw man, btw). But it would have hampered him.Fine, maybe bonding was a poor choice of words.

Except that the hounds has been nursing that bite wound for a long time and it is festering.

my theory on the coin is-it is basically the faceless mens' passage back to Bravoos after a job is completed. We all know that they can do some sort of face changing to some degree, so I think that possibly those coins are their "get home free" passes to any captain from the city. He brought her on because for all he knows, she is a face-changer in disguise. Just a total guess on my part, but it would make sense.

I highly doubt he thought she was a face changer. She's pretty raw and inexperienced. Even assuming he did, why would he need to give her a coin? As a face changer, wouldn't she already have one? Furthermore, if he thought she was already a FC, why would he need to explain what the coin was and give her the FC catch phrase?

The boat captain last episode may have thought she was a face changer, he took the coin he didn't give it to her. The FC who saved her life in season 2 (or was it 3?) is the one who gave her the coin and I am pretty sure he didn't think she was a FC.

yes, the boat guy, not the dude who gave it to her. No idea if it is true or not...I literally just thought about the idea while watching the episode. I guess the only problem with the thought is how the heck the actual face changer is going to get home now?

I would assume that, as an adult super badass assassin, he'll have an easier time finding a way there without the coin than a teenage girl.yes, the boat guy, not the dude who gave it to her.
