[quote="Tha Kid" post=345601]Amazing episode. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time without any action.
Knew my prediction was wrong when they started the show off with Jamie’s trial.
My brother and I were talking...what are the odds literally everyone dies next episode and the living lose? Or everyone except those in the crypt (which would be Tyrion and maybe Sansa of main characters?).
I feel like most likely outcome is of course the living win and then march south to battle Cersei but this show is so unpredictable so I don’t know that that is definite. I could totally see the dead win but via dragons a bunch of main characters retreat.
Also think Arya is killing someone major - either night king or viserion most likely via that weapon. They showed her practicing her throwing and shooting skills and marksmanship too many times not to be a reminder before she picks someone off next week.
Can’t wait.[/quote] Nice call with Arya

That was a good call by The Kid. More of the cast left than I thought there would be. Visually the battle scenes were a dissappointment.

Tough to do night battle scenes visually I think. Battle of the bastards visually I liked more but this was great I thought

Agree on the Dothraki scene and yes I was expecting battle scenes more on a par with the Battle of the bastards.
I think Cersei is going to get her ass kicked by whoever is left.

Why was Bran warging? Was it to tell the Night King where he was? I thought he knew anyway because of the mark on his arm. Seemed odd part of episode to me.
Too much dragon flying. The dragons could have helped out more in the beginning of the battle burning more Walkers.
The plan was so bad. That being said how did the Dothraki die? The charged in but what stopped them exactly. Was a bit unclear.
Wish we saw an old character re-appear. Then again could you even tell if Stannis or someone else appeared as a Walker?
Are we down to 1 Dragon? When he crash landed unclear what happened. Assuming Ghost is gone too.
I guess the sex was worth it for Arya haha. Everyone I've seen is talking about the dagger being the one intended for Bran. That isn't true. Didn't she give that to Sansa before she went to the crypt?
Anyway overall great episode. Exceeded my expectations. I was at the edge of my seat. When all the Dothraki swords lit up it was an Oh Shit moment. At some point or another was expecting someone to die. Could have used 1 more main character dying but I'll take it. The way Jorah and Lyanna died was great. I really thought Bran was going to stab the Night King with a dagger that maybe Tyrion gave him during their fireside chat. Not sure why Arya did the jump move though we saw it in previous season. We saw her throwing daggers figured she would do that.

Random thoughts...
-Arya channeling her Syrio Forel training in the library was terrific...she is the true hero
-Battle scenes were intense but too long and VERY VERY dark
-The Red Witch & Theon Greyjoy were absolved of all prior evil doings...big time redemption for both
-Lyanna (aka Arya light) killing the giant was awesome...David vs Goliath metaphor
-Jorah died the way he wanted...in Dany's arms
-Night King...able to ride a dragon & able to withstand Drogon's fireblast...was he a Targaryen?
Final episodes...I'm hoping Jamie kills Cersei and The Hound kills The Mountain...by the way, where's Bronn?

Bronn is in Kings Landing with a new crossbow from Cersei ordered to kill Jaime and Tyrion. Or is he???????

I think the Mountain kills the Hound and Cersei kills Jamie. But Arya kills both the Mountain and Cersei.

OK - I am going to subject you all to my crazy prediction again. While I LOVED the episode last night, something felt a little unsatisfying about it this AM that we literally have been worried about the White Walkers since season 1 and finally the living battle them and they die without us even knowing what their purpose was. Were they just pure evil? I don't think so...I think that's what the writers want us to think, but GRRM is very political and supposedly the Walkers are supposed to be a metaphor for climate change. Let's remember, this isn't some devil that was created at the beginning of time...the children of the forest literally created the Night King to help them against the humans. GoT is a series which literally ties so many loose ends up - certainly the important ones - and I just can't accept that the White Walkers are done and gone without us ever knowing why they were marching south for the first time in 1000 years.
I think over the next couple of episodes some weird stuff is going to start happening - and it will be clear that the Lord of Light is behind it. In a song of ice and fire, there is no longer ice. So fire will reign. Perhaps crops are going to die, perhaps stone men are going to start showing up in Westeros, or perhaps more undeads like Beric are going to be around but in a bad way. By the end of this series, Bran is going to go back and figure out why the Children created the Night King...and determine that for the balance of humanity they need to be created again. First thought is Bran becomes the NK, but I think he's too important to the living for memories so he'll stay the 3 eyed raven. One of Dany and Jon will become the new NK (or NQ), and due to the prior NK's trait of being impervious to fire, my current money is on Dany (believe Jon burned his hand in season 1 or 2).
This is probably crazy and out there but just seems like it could be the crazy twist we've all been waiting for. Finally, I have a theory on who will be a co-conspirator in this NK or NQ creatio - Lord Varys. Mel predicted he'd died in Westeros AND he is the most unabashed hater of the Lord of Light due to what happened to him. I can see him be the one pushing the dragon glass into Dany or Jon to make the NQ or NK and then die immediately after. A final sacrifice by Varys to save humanity slash combat his true enemy - the Lord of Light.

[quote="Tha Kid" post=346881][quote="SJ_NYC" post=346880]How many episodes are left?
Is there enough time to get to all that?[/quote]
Probably not! ha ha[/quote]
That's the thing. Not enough time
I'm going to go predict Daario returns to help Dany because clearly they need bodies. Also would create a lovers triangle maybe.

[quote="SJ_NYC" post=346901]More importantly, did the direwolf die?
Sad, if the last one did so.[/quote]
Usually you see a death clearly in GOT. Except Stannis. But you never saw the wolf again. And last night they definitely showed characters multiple times throughout. Think he might be gone.
Nymeria is still alive though. But she ran away and only saw Arya last season briefly.

Really like the idea of daario return. Maybe he heard golden company was sailing over so he’s on his way to help.

Ghost is alive. Showed him in previews for next week’s episode.
