stick to the walking dead
It's an odd choice to keep Tormund alive. What else does his character have left to do. The show has not given us any other Wildling plot line to consider. His arch is over and it would've been a noteworthy death - which this season has not delivered on.

You think Dany will lend them the boats to get there?

Get with Brienne and make babies.
But yet some people are trying to sell me on the idea that the Night King can freeze entire seas lol.
Speaking of winter and things freezing over. Places that are geographically snow and cold temperature free, shouldn't be affected by winter right?
Here's our own world during the last Ice Age and the extent of the glacial coverage,
Warm places stayed warm, and temperate regions froze over. So technically an arid, hot, desert like place such as Dorne should be safe, as well as many parts of Essos.

If only you were this diligent about playing all the Yakuza games.
Season 8's main storyline will be a romantic comedy where Tormund and the Hound compete with each other for Brienne's affections at King's Landing but she only has eyes for Jaime who is too busy trying to figure out how to stop his sister from killing everyone and fucking the world up.
If he's going to die it's when the army of the dead overtakes Eastwatch. Without him there it's just a bunch of no name characters fighting the white walkers. If he stays alive until then it adds a more personal dread to the battle for the viewers.

well, since he is alive, I am guessing he will be in the finale, so in a week's time, your question will be answered.
that was a half serious post. it's a "what if" scenario that's never going to happen.
fuck the walking dead.
I like that angle and I appreciate it as a viewer, but now I think Brienne is safe too. And if they can't kill Tormund when there are 7 episodes of the entire show left... who exactly are they willing to kill?

If the show ends and this is the case I'm never watching it again. This alone will ruin everything preceding it just like Ted and Robin in HIMYM.
I know, my reply wasn't serious either.

Since we saw the Night King use a miniature kind of trump card by having the ability to take down dragons in a single blow, Bran at some point has to use some type of trump card as well, right?
As much as Jon feels like the Night King's rival at times, Bran is just as much, if not more so, and it's about damn time Bran stops sitting around being creepy and does something badass for a change. I know everyone has speculated about him taking control of a dragon for years, but I mean besides that.
I hope he does something useful in the finale besides more monotone dialogue.

I only had a few problems with the last episode and a lack of a significant death is one of them. This was an issue for episode 4 and 5 as well. Who cares that Rickon and his dad died? Jaime and Bronn should have went instead. And in a suicide mission against a million wights, they basically only lost unnamed characters. They couldn't even kill Drogon - who was in a stationary position right in front of the Night King, asking to be harpooned- they killed one of the other dragons that barely got screen time.
I'd say Viserion getting offed is significant in that it's a pretty big game changer for the wars to come. Also I liked Thoros
Bran was able to warg a murder of crows. Wonder if he could warged say...a pack of wolves. Now we just need to find a pack somewhere...

And where exactly was he getting all that alcohol from? How was he always stocked up?
The cupboard is dark and full of rum.
Ooo shit. Hadn't even considered he might use Nymeria's pack if he could. I'm just hoping we get a scene where he uses an unkindness of ravens (the actual term for a group of ravens, weirdly enough) to kill someone Bioshock Infinite style.

Finale is going to have the top swordsmen in Westeros in one place
1. Brienne
2. Hound
3. Mountain
4. Jon

Thoros was for sure a great character and I was sad he died, but I thought it was a cheap move. He was the most obvious one to go - I almost wished they hadn't done it. And to be fair, it could end up being very important to both Jon and Beric, except that we know at least one other priest(ess) can bring people back from the dead now.
Cersi
Jaime
Euron
Jorah
Theon
Little Finger
Beric
Maybe Vary's
Ghost
Mountain
Hound

They will all die. I can almost guarantee it. I think that's more then enough main characters dead for 7 episodes. Would be incredibly stupid and bullshit if Jon, Dany, Stark kids and the other main characters die.
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
I actually love the Night King.
I can't justifiably support him but I find myself wanting to.

Take off Jaime and Varys and maybe Theon if they're still going on a redemption kick and I think everyone else there is doomed.
Even Ghost?
Jon > all
I mean, I have no proof of that but I love Jon too much for that not to be the case.

Dany cannot have children. Her only stillborn son was a dragon winged monster.
She makes it clear to Jon.

Well, not saying anything at all is an improvement on a lot of the characters in the show at this point...
Definitely feeling the plot armor this season for the main cast, which makes it feel a bit too tame. Probably not happening until next season but certainly hope the NK can actually mess things up.
I'd add Rhaegal, Drogon and Viserion (again) to this list, and my dark horse pick for eventual death is Davos. I don't think any of our still living senior citizens will make it out alive, as much as I love him.
Edit: Qyburn too.

The worst part about the next episode is that Euron will probably be in it.
Why do people keep calling Dickon Rickon?

I thought Tormund was a goner after all the witty one liners and stuff he had throughout the episode.
Figured it was like, get the casual audience to remember hey yeah this guy, he is funny I like him!
*dead* *sad* etc.
But then SWERVE! Nope he gonna live until he is making monster Stormtrooper babies!

I think Tormund is the audience's window into the now allied Freefolk. He's representing a group, otherwise we'd probably be like, "Oh yeah, the people from beyond the wall, I forgot about them."
I hope the ending of the show is Sam returning to the Citadel to become a real master, and in his old age he writes a chronicle of the series events. The final shot of the series is GRRM in a cameo as old Sam, closing the finished book and the title is A Song of Ice and Fire.

He's the deus ex machina of the series, like Gandalf. He can pseudo time travel, ffs. GRRM could fanfiction a billion ways for Bran to fix or destroy everything.
Night King's trump card isn't that big of a deal. The fact you can kill literally one dude and take out the biggest threat to Westeros overwrites him being able to one shot a dragon. Fucking Hot Pie could sneeze a piece of dragonglass at him and end the war. WW aren't even a threat anymore.

Rhedd Shurt is the son of Torin Shurt of Tye islands in the Shivering Sea. They are a small house but a proud wildling house.
Rhedd quickly became one of Tormund' s right hand man due to his amazing crouching technique displayed at the Battle of Castle Black.
Rhedd is usually seen carrying his family's ancestral valyrial steel spear called "Pawlished Shue".
