SHATTERING THE 4TH WALL!

The cameo from GOT creators and the dragon are not there just for fan service, this show is going really hard into a Matrix direction, simulation within a simulation? Yes! They are telling you everything is a lie, Season 1 had several references to The Truman Show and now they are expanding that. There were a lot of cringe moments but with the concept the show is bringing to the table it doesn't matter anymore. The joke is on you... the show has always been metaphorical to real life situations such as gov spying on you, NSA, Facebook etc... and they are now blatantly showing you all the many layers on a massive scale, basically Black Mirror Bandersnatch but directed towards our real world and lives. Watchmen also had a bunch of metaphors like that. I think it's pretty cool but kinda scary too when you really think about it.
