Hey guys I think that was Ed Sheeran!
Almost certainly they will. Remember what Sansa said? No one will remember their house. The sooner they scrub the Flayed Man from the records, the better.

Yes. Hot Pie.
Solid episode. Nothing mindblowing but it's not like I expected it to be.
I kinda feel like rewatching the first 3 or 4 seasons, but I'm afraid I'd enjoy them so much more than recent GoT that I'd lose all interest in watching the new episodes as they come and at some point I'd accidentally spoil something for myself lol.
Maybe I'll do the rewatch marathon sometime between s7 and s8.

Personally I can't shake the feeling that the ending of season 6 was more about clearing the path for him to
bone Sansa as a parallel to Cersei and Jamie. Since they're the good guys it's okay now, he's only her cousin.
I spoke this theory to my GF last night as we were watching the episode and she gave me The Look, but come on, I can't be the only one thinking this could happen lol.
Yeah, I think Sansa's just tired of feeling useless and doesn't want to be a victim anymore. She's constantly looking for potential threats. She wants to contribute and feel like she has power, because she knows what it feels like to be completely powerless and at the mercy of others. I think that's why, as Jon pointed out, it almost seems like she respects Cersei in a twisted way. Cersei refuses to let herself be controlled by anyone and will do anything to avoid being a victim. I was watching an earlier episode where she told Jon "No one can protect anyone." And who could blame her for feeling that way after everything she's been through. I just hope it doesn't lead her to make a stupid decision later on...
After having a good sleep and thinking about it.
I feel although the North believes Jon about the white walkers they deep down don't really expect anything to happen and aren't giving it the attention it deserves.
Case in point Sansa's wanting to wipe out the Umbers and Karstarks.

Littlefinger and Sansa wiped the Boltons. All of them. It's a small house, made strong due to their alliances with the Stark and then the Lannister/Frey. Once they lost, they were done.

I don't think she'll be making any stupid decisions, she is the one after all who called her brother and father stupid and both dying because of it. However, I think this episode hinted that Jon will leave Winterfell, so she will get her crack at leadership for the rest of the season after that. And we'll see how that goes & turns out.

Solid episode
+ Arya wiping out the Frey's
+ Jon for justice vs Sansa for shrewdness for the way the game must be played
+ Jaime / Cersei always great together
I do think Little Finger still has a role to play here. He's always been two steps ahead of everybody and Sansa is not going to play him. He's going to succeed at ~some level at playing her, hopefully enough that he seals his own fate and not taking hold of the north. I'm sure that Cersai doesn't trust him, but given that he still holds the Vale, I can see them conspiring.
Euron wanting to get a prize for Cersai. There are multiple options here, with Tyrion being who she despises the most. But Tyrion has already been captured so many times, plus it being so obvious, as well as how the hell is Euron going to get to him when he's with Dany, Unsullied, Dothraki, and they have Dorne and Highgarden. It shouldn't be that easy. Other options are Sansa, Ellaria Sand, and ??? (I don't see Olenna Tyrell)

I think Tyrion will die this season, but Jamie will end up betraying the Queen and avenge his death.
Coldplay is gonna come back for episode 2 and there will be a ten minute long shit scene. It will be the best episode of TV ever made.
I don't think there's anything important there, and I mean, Craster was just some dude that ran away from the Night's Watch. I think little Sam is just there to bind Sam and Gilly together.

He'll likely send word to Jon that Dragonstone is the key to acquiring more Obsidian / Dragonglass, thus setting up Jon and Daenerys meeting for the first time. Outside of his time in Old Town and desire to become a maester, I'm not really sure what important he still holds.
Edit: I'm an idiot. :|

he's talking about little Sam, Gilly's baby.

I wonder what the north will do with the Bolton and Frey houses now.
The Artisan

I dunno if it was this thread or the other thread that I asked does Arya not care about her uncle Edmure?
Little Sam will lay claim to Sam's birthright on his kingdom's throne.
Hence my edit. I haven't had my morning coffee yet. Lol
I honestly don't see much importance in Sam Jr. at this point. Hell, the entire Sam / Gilly plot seems to hinge on Sam finding information on how to defeat the Night King (which I guess might just be remembering that there's Dragonglass at Dragonstone?). Hopefully there's more to it than that.

I do think that big Sam will end up being important, not in a way like Dani/Jon/Tyrion, but I can see him being the one who ends up being the one person who's able to fully sythesize / understand the totality of the battle for the iron throne and against the White Walkers. Essentially becoming "the maester" that matters (even if he's not Grand Maester)
Um... The WW (except for the Night King) are Crasters sons. A few seasons ago after Gilly and Sam escaped from Craster after the mutiny, a WW came to get little Sam. It didn't kill anyone, it just pushed Sam away, mission was to get little Sam.
Arya doesn't seem to be concerned about her family at the moment, or else she'd be trying to reunite with Jon, Sansa, Bran, etc. as far as she knows, Benjen is still alive as well.
Edit: Nvm. I just now remembered Edmure is still a prisoner.
Sansa: "What Bolton house?"

Doubt it by the way he's dressed since being brought back and was visibly shivering when revived.

Jon IS OP. Arrows, horses and weapons were magically ignoring him during the Battle of the Bastards. It looks intentional to me.

The Lord of Light wouldn't have permit his rebirth if it hadn't a plan for him, same with Beric Dondarrion.

The twins isn't in the North, so they do nothing. What will Edmure do is the question. That is if arya released him from his cell.

Maybe the women will, or not. I guess they have enough from men.
There's nothing particularly special about him, though. He's just a fucker who was willing to give his sons up to the White Walkers so they wouldn't kill him. Why would the Night King be interested in little Sam now? Dude is just a baby, he can get thousands once he invades the South.
That's kind of integral to her character development. She's gone from spoiled child with no self confidence, through a horrendous teenage life and now is developing into a woman with confidence and more importantly, cunning. She has to be this way, as it balances out other characters around her.
You can't like everyone in a show, otherwise it would be boring. It's not a comedy.

Some of the white walkers are biological brothers to little Sam, though. Someone else pointed out how there was that one ww who came to claim little Sam.
It's strange how it was not mentioned at all whether or not Arya knows about some of her family still being alive. If she knew, I feel like she would head north instead.
You know what's ironic? Beric having been brought back to life 6 times says every time he's back, he's a bit less and therefore, probably weaker, whereas Jon gets brought back once, but he seems like he's only become stronger. He fought right in the front lines of a battle, a battle that ended the (political) war in the north.
So safe to say I don't think this character has reached his full potential yet

Being brought back from the dead has made him kind of religious.

I wonder if we're even going to get a Cleganebowl now since it seems his mission is North.
He was on the brink of death, wasn't brought back.
I'd be shocked to see that happen this year.
I do wonder if just any baby can become a white walker. Maybe they have to be intentionally sacrificed.

Good episode. The first few minutes with Arya was the strongest.
Why is Jorah in a cell and not with Dani again?

Dani sent him on a mission to find a cure, which he interpreted as getting imprisoned and slowly dying of his horrible disease. The things are easily confused, I know.

Dany told him in season 6 to leave and find a cure, then come back to her. I guess he decided the Citadel was the best place to look for it but the maesters decided not to help him.
