Stop with this same old tripe line. It's been copied to death.
The show will have an ending that works out for the good guys. It might not be what we expect, but it's not ending badly.

It seems like they can. Some of the ones that fell through seem to have walked along the bottom, since a couple of them were coming up out of the hole in the ice trying to grab Tormund's legs and pull him under.
And Benjen saying he has no time to go with Jon, yet he sends Jon away when he could have easily tagged along

Where did they even get those chains lol.
Two things are certain. Tormund will get a shot with Brienne and Cleganebowl.
I'm predicting the next episode is cleganebowl. 100%

I sure hope you're right.
Next week Arya better spring her trap...if in fact that's what is going on. That deadpan motionless "just took my meds" speech Arya is using with Sansa makes her come across as completely unhinged.
I don't want another year to go by knowing LF is still alive, either.
Nah, they keep bringing up the no children thing so they can make the incest angle semi-cool. Jon and Dany are definitely going to smash. Hopefully next episode so we can get this stupid,
sexy

I'm remembering the distance between Winterfell and Kings Landing being 1000 miles. That number sticks out to me for some reason. Roose tells Ramsay the distance between Winterfell and The Wall which I can't recall at the moment.
I'm guessing it's more like 1500 miles.

Jon has had two moments in this series where he's basically had time to reflect on his impending death during a battle as he gets overwhelmed.
and again during this battle. Stop fucking up Jon the Lord can't save you forever.

Was it an African or European dragon?
In S01E01 when King Rob rooks up to Winterfell and asks Ned to take him to the crypt so he could perv at the statue of Jon's mum, Cercie says "we've been on the road for a month". So yeah, GRRM's ideas about sizing and scale have always been wrong. Isn't book Mountain meant to be 8 feet tall or something?
As a bastard it would be Storm if he was born in Robert's lands and Waters if he was born in KL.

Fuck all the people who read the leaks and posted their theories. Played out 1:1 with the ones I read.
Thought the episode overall was the worst this season with some of the decision making. How do you not throw your ice spear at the dragon closest to you, that's stationary, and with your enemies piling on it? Took me right out.
Though I guess the other was burning up the army and could have come for him next but STILL! Get multiple people throwing, or grab another RIGHT AWAY!
And Bengen... "There's no time". smh

Dude is so ready to die. I bet he was happy when Thoros died.

Agreed. Look at True Blood. That show was a cultural phenomenon for HBO. It's horrible final season and pathetic ending completely erased it from history and relevancy.
In the same vein of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, GoT will have a "happy" ending for the heroes. And I'm here for that.
I agree - she is doing a great job acting.
Unfortunately the material she's been given isn't that great.
Why now?

He did...But, Sansa is obviously feeling threatened by Arya right?
So, from Sansa perspective, wouldn't it be wise to keep her around to protect her from Arya?
This is how it played out for me.
LF figured out a way to get the best thing that would protect Arya and Sansa from themselves away from WF.
Couldn't they have just taken a raven with them from the beginning?

Littlefingers character is toast. He doesn't belong in the story anymore.
The random character abnormalities are a contrivance in order to kill him off next episode.
He's got no allies, the army he was with all swore to jon snow and the starks.
Littlefinger is barely a lord no northern lord would side with him over a stark.
Any bullshit he pulls, they've got trump card bran to just wheel in and call bullshit whenever he likes.
Bran can advance the story a whole lot.

The real gag is the Littlefinger is manipulating Arya and it's SANSA who's going to be the one to save her ungrateful little ass and show her how it's really done.
I like Arya but yeah. She needs to be put down a few notches.
A winter wonderland... everywhere.

You're right. I'm no expert when it comes to sizes but being as big as South America, especially with how characters have been travelling up and down throughout the series is a bit much.
Sothoryos or Westeros dragon, please.

I didn't think the death of a dragon would have much impact on me, but something about it really struck a nerve. I think it's how violent the death was, on top of watching these indestructable things suddenly turn to fragile little glass.

The Night King is clever he knows the plot won't work out uf he kills the bigger Dragon and Dany in front of him
We saw them last episode when they walked out and there were shots with them in the back in this one.
None of the main actors are dying before season 8. The main 5 all re-upped their contracts, and it wouldn't make any sense from a storytelling standpoint. Unless people think that the Queen Cersei stuff is going to get wrapped up in the next 80 mins.

Yeah Jon's problems are that he is brave as shit and a bad ass warrior, but just not smart when it comes to tactics. He gets by on his individual fighting skills but can't make a battle plan / be tactically smart at all.
Luckily he's had people there to save him

He had that moment twice in the same episode. First got saved by Drogon then by Uncle Benjen who died in a such a shitty way. Where was the fuck was he earlier?
This mission was just so goddamn stupid. WTF were the writers thinking.
Exactly none of their plan made any sense from the beginning.
Seriously, someone explain exactly what the hell they were going to do. They really went up north to try and pick one of them off and... what? Drag it back screaming? Like what the fuck was the plan? They didn't have a wagon with or anything even though they were that close to Eastwatch? How about some horses?

Anything to see Ghost just once this season.
Gotta cherish next week because the long wait is coming. ;-;
Is he the fastest WW?
Matter of fact. Where the fuck was Bran this episode?

I kind of agreed. Not worth the a dragon to have a armistice with Cersei.
She's hated and loved enough that they need her for the last season so we can't see her getting smoked this season.
The writers just don't care.
They should have moved Dragonstone north in the Show. The fact that it is on the other side of the continent is the main issue.
