"You will bury them yourselves."

Early in season 01, when the Starks find the litter of direwolves, Eddard tells them: "You will train them yourselves, you will feed them yourselves, and when they die, you will bury them yourselves." Eight seasons later however, that turned out not to be true. While the Stark kids probably did train and feed them, none of them did bury their own direwolves. Let's do a roll call:

Lady : Killed by Eddard, buried in Winterfell by Stark men while Sansa was still headed for King's Landings.

Grey Wind : Killed by the Freys outside the Red Wedding and had its head sown to Robb's body.

Summer : Killed by the undead while protecting Bran. Presumably turned into a dire wight and remains unburied.

Shaggydog : Killed by the Umbers and had its head cut off before Ramsay while Rickon was still a prisoner.

Nymeria : Still alive, did not follow Arya to Westestereros and thus will not be buried by her.

Ghost : Still alive, only remaining candidate to be buried by its original owner.

Why were seasons 7-8 so rushed?

Apologies for the stupid question, but I am just now watching the show for the first time with my GF and we are both puzzled as to why they had to rush so much at the end? I remember at the time the entire world was watching and they had all the budget they could wish for. So why? Aging actors? Different contracts? Books not being finished(if this, they could have just continued for longer even without them and gave the characters a more complete arc)?

Dragon eggs..

Newer fan here, finished one watch through and I’m watching it again. One thing I was thinking of after watching the dragons hatch… the shaman lady mentioned that only death can bring life, are there fan theories that drogo, her son, and her brother could’ve been the lives given to bring the dragons to life? Sorry if this is worded weird I’m not sure exactly how to get my thoughts down currently hahaha

Does the Night's Watch have an age limit for recruiting?

While we Know that the Night's Watch is a job for life and once you have taken the Black that's it you're a brother, do they have age limits on recruiting? Obviously they don't retire members when they reach a certain age as shown by Maester Aemon who was aged around 102 when he died, and we know that boys as young as 10 can be elected Lord Commander, such as Osric Stark. But if a child under this age arrived at Castle Black, would they let him in? We also know that Jeor Mormont must have been in his 50s when he joined, would they have accepted him if he was in his 60s or older.
