I have a hard time watching the Sansa and Arya interaction. I'm hopeful Arya is 2 steps ahead of LF and is scaring Sansa on purpose to set a trap convincingly. Earlier, someone posted the idea that Arya has already killed LF and used his face. I doubt that's happened, but that would be better than the current surface-level interactions.
On the other hand, I had been holding out hope that the story would turn dark with Jon and Beric - that because they've been dead they would be vulnerable to the control of the NK. Then, perhaps "Evil Jon" champions the fight against the humans. Maybe Bran is an evil mastermind and has been pulling the strings... And we have to cheer for everyone else to join together to beat the dead. And maybe they would lose? How crazy would that be? Instead it looks like it's going to be a love story where there are some set backs and losses, but eventually everything works out.
It's still a great show and I'll watch every minute of it. It just seems like a missed opportunity to be both original and consistent with the surprises of the early seasons.
As I'm watching them pull the dragon out of the ice, the first thing in my head was "where the **** did they get four really long chains like that?" Just been carrying them around?
That's bad. That whole plan was stupid - 7 dudes vs. the army of the dead?
How do we know the knight king doesn't have premonitions and prepared for dragons to come? We really don't know anything about him. But yeah, they don't ever appear to have any supplies.Agreed. Coincidence to solve a problem is lazy writing and insulting to the audience.

I have a feeling this is going to be the next Lost. Amazing up to the end. Then just meh.
I love Tormund. I'm glad he has survived all this time, but the Hound is right. How the hell did he manage that?Tormund's and the Hound's dialog might be the most underappreciated dialogue of the entire episode.
Tormund Giantsbane: I have a beauty waiting for me back in Winterfell, if I ever get back there. Yellow hair, blue eyes, tallest woman you've ever seen. Almost as tall as you.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Brienne of Tarth.
Tormund Giantsbane: You know her?
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: You're with Brienne of ******* Tarth?
Tormund Giantsbane: Well, not with her yet, but I see the way she looks at me.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: How does she look at you? Like she wants to carve you up and eat your liver?
Tormund Giantsbane: You do know her.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: We've met.
Tormund Giantsbane: I want to make babies with her. Great big monsters that'll conquer the world.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: How did a mad ****** like you live so long?
Tormund Giantsbane: I'm good at killing people.

New language?Because Tormund is rigt too - he's good at killing people (among other "things").
You mean the book that was last supposed to be published by end of 2017, and now GRRM has said by the end of 2018? Oh, and he may release Fire and Blood before it?
New language?
Edit - think I got it: "right too"

Idk if it is that the NK can greensee as much as it is he can sense Bran when he is near. Due to the mark that he gave Bran when grabbing him in season 6 during his visionThat's why I believe NK has been waiting so long to attack. He needs a dragon to defeat the wall. He could have easily killed the 7 but he left the giants and most of his army hidden. It could also explain why 1 of the wights didn't die when Jon killed the WW. The NK baited them with it. You have to assume NK can greensee, as he keeps blocking bran from spying on him.

I can't remember (from the books). Can the 3ER or the NK see the future, or just the past and current events?
Unless of course, Gendry has asthma. That could have been disastrous!Well those two are way younger, smaller, and faster looking than the other characters there. Except for the wildling redshirts, and no way they were going to send them. And Jon of course couldn't go back.
Or maybe they're the same person..Idk if it is that the NK can greensee as much as it is he can sense Bran when he is near. Due to the mark that he gave Bran when grabbing him in season 6 during his vision

This summed up my thoughts on Arya/Sansa really well.
