It doesn't matter. Where the Night King is, winter comes with him. Dorne would be frozen tundra if he goes there.

I don't mind the nut jobs and their doped up theories, it's usually pretty funny and much better than people doing nothing but complaining about shit.
Plus, I've had a few dumb ass theories over the years myself which at the time seemed alright, in hindsight though, not even...

Winterfell is nearly as far away from the wall as Winterfell is 1/2 way to king's landing. The wall is very far.
Remember that Stannis Army was fully ready to take Winterfell. The long travel and weather decimated them.
So when nighty breaks the wall, is he still going to leisurely march on? Or will he make the wights go ape shit.
If bran and Jon die, then I'm jumping ship.
I do wonder if Cersei hid that anti-dragon projectile, so when the meet begins, she kills the dragon.
If the mountain is sort of like a zombie does that mean Nighty can control him?
Lol, Bran takes control of the hound vs nighty controlled mountain .
Let the clegan bowl begin.

I don't think he could control The Mountain, he doesn't have the blue eyes...I know people want clegane bowl, but imagine The Mountain fighting for the living, that would be so cool to see.

This show brings the nutjobs. I watched a video on YouTube saying that Ned said a prayer as he was being executed to warg himself into a nearby bird and his mind and consciousness lives in a raven. Lol.
No wonder GRRM can't finish his books, he's too busy laughing his ass off at some of these dumb theories.

LOL man, so stupid.
Amazing how there are so many youtube channels with these horrible theories and breakdowns and shit with so many views.
Though I've watched a few interviews with GRRM where he said he stopped reading fan theories a long time ago because he doesn't want them to conflict with his own ideas or something like that.
There's an interview with Kit where he says that a fan approached him with a theory that the show will end with Ghost waking up and having dreamt everything. Kit was like, dumbest theory I ever heard, I hope the guy never becomes a screenwriter, lol. Just tears into him, haha.

Watching this video from Season 2 makes this season's excursion to the north and lack of character development in general feel even more disappointing. All of the dread of going into the North got replaced with a school play sketch level of dialogue and action...

Yeah, it will suck. I rarely post in this particular topic but read it religiously whenever a new episode comes out. I'm going to miss reading the regular banter and discussion on r/gameofthrones and r/freefolk too.
But to make the wait to 2019 ( ;_; ) more manageable I am finally going to go through all of the books now that I am finishing college. That should keep me busy for a while. I bought all of them some 2 years ago but barely got through 2/3 of GoT not because it wasn't interesting but because reading anything for leasure during an academic year makes one's reading sessions feel like a guilt trip.
Now that that's no longer an issue I have more than a year to get caught up with the books so I can get to feel the pain of book readers too

Not too keen on the finale either. Think this is the worst season ever. Maybe S5 is worse, but it doesn't carry the weight this season does. And I have zero faith that the finale will be at least decent. They effed up too many things that bother me, so fudge them.

I just hope heres a satisfying resolution to the Arya / Sansa plotline. Please dont be a train wreck.

Is cleganebowl a possibility in the final Episode of the season?
Surely the hound it's going to kings landing with the captured wight to show cersei.
I'm thinking it's 60% chance of happening.

If the Hound is going to King's Landing, they will certainly meet next episode. But as far as having them fight? I don't think so. Not without good reason.
My mind was blown what Maisie Williams (Arya) is 20, just one year younger than Sophie Turner who plays Sansa. They looked many years apart to me.

Isn't the good enough reason that they hate each other?
Weren't they fighting the last time they saw each other?
I'm still blown away they are that young. I thought Sophie was like 30 by now and Maisie in her mid twenties.

Whaaat seriously? I guess Sansa looks older because she's taller.
DukeLongfellow

Yeah, except Gregor is no longer "sentient" in the way he was before. Unless Cersei orders him to do something, I don't think he will lift a finger. And I doubt Cersei would randomly order him to attack Sandor in a peace negotiation where everyone wants to leave an impression of goodwill. Sandor would be the more logical one to strike first but attacking without provocation (while in character) would simply feel forced for the sake of fanservice.
Jeez, don't let them hear you say that.

Thankfully becoming a zombie has made the Mountain significantly smarter than he was, so now they can finally have a decent fight!
Lol I don't mean that in a bad way. I guess I've been watching Thrones for so long, that it blows my mind that Turner is barley legal to drink.

Does that armor even works tho?
Jon took down that Walker way too easily in the latest ep. Should have been more of a struggle.
The WW don't know how to fight.
They only get by through their cheat code weapons.
Jon is a proper swordsman, instead (with a cheat weapon himself).

Well, Valyrian steel cuts through even normal steel fairly easy, so they would need basically full plate to have any chance of stopping it.
But dragonglass (obsidian) is actually very brittle, so it might be able to stop that.

Jon took it down in the same manner. Pattern recognition down pat.
It's like Punch Out. Easy patterns until you get to Tyson, I mean the Night King.

The difference of direction compared to last episode, lol
Also I love that he almost trips after the kill. It means so much more than the "cool pose" many directors would have just chosen instead.
Well, to be fair, it's a completely different scene that is trying to portray something different. One is Jon being scared and completely shocked, like you said, that wasn't a cool pose but more him just pausing for a sec because what just happened blew his mind while the one in the new episode is him being completely confident that he could take on that White Walker.

I've said it before but GODDAMN is Kit Harington good at making Jon Snow look like the best swordsman in Westeros.
We're obviously never seeing her again, but I'm morbidly curious as to what the Mountain has done/is doing to her.

Fingers crossed she will break free and save Ellaria and Tyene.

Stay salty brah, she's going to outlive Danny.

Sansa's one of my favourite characters.
Her story this season has been frustrating as fuck.
Wait until she poisons Arya for talking shit.
Imperfected

I think this season's been frustrating for Sansa because they're basically setting her and Arya up to be the new shadow council sort of characters in the world to come. Basically, I think they're going to have them provide the things that Daenerys and her army are hilariously bad at: soft power and subtlety.
I guess you could say she's becoming a "good" Littlefinger, though it's a bit reductive.
At any rate, it's one of those things like the High Sparrow plotline that's sort of frustrating to watch in-progress because it's more about the destination than the journey. Like, let's be real, 90% of the Sept/High Sparrow scenes were absolute trash in a vacuum, we just remember them fondly because the conclusion to that arc was so good.
