Major characters need to start dying, but at the same time, their death has to advance a plot point or it's even worse writing.
I'm thinking so too. It is showing an arena and the hound unsheathing his sword so I am guessing he will square off with the mountain. Jon, Dany and Brienne will be there trying to convince her of what is coming. Something tells me that Jaime, especially with the thought of his baby coming, will want peace and a future for his child. I don't know if he kills her, but he will probably try everything to convince her. This also makes me wonder if we Euron go rogue with her. So many possibilities but we kinda gotta assume there is no redemption for Euron or Cersei.The dragon named after Viserys would be the one to become a wight, wouldn't it.
Something tells me Cersei's gonna "IDGAF" the zombie plopped right down at her feet, and perhaps that's the straw that breaks the camel's back with Jaime.
He's at Winterfell. I imagine the CGI bill for all of the dragon stuff has caused them to decrease Ghost's role this season for budget purposes.Speaking of...where the 'eff is Ghost this season?
I think the most important part of the entire episode was Jon killing another White Walker. Kill the Night King and all of the dead will fall.I'm beginning to think death wins. Watching a dragon die was just depressing

Can't complain. This season has been awesome.
In the books he uses his last life to raise [redacted for spoiler]. Obvious theory here is he has one life left and he will sacrifice himself to raise someone in the show, likely Jon.I'm surprised Beric is still alive, especially considering his status in the books. I was sure he was a goner.

I'm not convinced Queen Beyotch is pregnant...I'm thinking so too. It is showing an arena and the hound unsheathing his sword so I am guessing he will square off with the mountain.

The wildcard for me is Arya.
One thing that gets lost behind the obviously large plot points was Tyrion suggesting to Daeny that there are more ways to establish ruling order than nepotism. He mentions the Night's Watch has a method, and that is democracy. That would lend credence to theories that a major theme is the move towards rule of law mirroring England.
I agree. I'm very torn on the episode. It definitely furthered the plot, and there were some great moments. Like, pretty much everything that The Hound or Tormund says is gold. They are a good matchup, I hope to see them together again.
However, Gendry must be better than the Boston Marathoners to make that distance, get a ravens across the country to Dany, her ride it back, and save the day(-ish) all in the amount of time the other dudes were sitting on a hill somehow not freezing to death. I totally understand suspending disbelief - but in the early parts of the series, it was a big deal that ravens were slow. Have they yet explained how Benjen became Coldhands and is only part wight or not wight or... whatever? And the dragon wight thing was coming from a mile away - it's definitely a game-changer, but interesting. And why the hell didn't Dany put on a freaking coat before she left?

I'm not worried about them having Viserion. The dead can't handle fire and Drogon can just burn him.
I have a feeling the show will conclude with a 1v1 Jon v NK. Jon wins. Dany and Jon take the throne and Dany is pregnant. Fade to black.
I miss Ghost. Maybe Arya is playing fetch with him half the day. Or Bran since he can't really go anywhere lolHe's at Winterfell. I imagine the CGI bill for all of the dragon stuff has caused them to decrease Ghost's role this season for budget purposes.
I was thinking the same thing. Its very possible the last conversation between littlefinger and Sansa was Sansa and Arya.I really hope Arya has already killed LittleFinger and is playing this game with Sansa to see what she does and says after Arya pushes her buttons on her loyalty to Jon. That is the only way that storyline is okay with me, I don't like seeing the unnecessary fighting between them haha

I heard that point and it is a great learning for the future battle. I am saying out of all the wights following that walker there just happened to be one wight that he didn't turn. Making it extremely convenient for them to capture one. When Jon killed the walker and we saw the wights die my first thought was "that is a great learning but now where will they get a wight to bring back". Then there just conveniently was one left for them to capture.Did you miss the part when the characters were openly dicussing this very point? They surmised the wights that died with the walker were either his followers, or the dead he had personally raised. It's a major plot point, especially later when one points out the way to kill the army is to kill the Night King.
Interesting theory. I like it!I really hope Arya has already killed LittleFinger and is playing this game with Sansa to see what she does and says after Arya pushes her buttons on her loyalty to Jon.

The internet always makes me chuckle. Totally good with a battle including zombies and dragons, but we're drawing the line when it comes to tailwind boosted bird speed.
