im really wondering if the night king could turn the mountain into a wight the moment he sees him. same with euron as he is dead as well
I doubt Cersei will head north with everyone else and will probably just send a small token force with Jaime in hopes that all the other armies will mostly die off fighting the White Walkers but still defeat them. While they are doing that, she will order a fresh mercenary army with the help of the Iron Bank and have them sent to King's Landing instead of the North...

Uhhh, is this a book thing?
LOL yeah, no way she's going north to do any of the fighting but if visions are anything to go by then the fight will come to her.

Which is why I don't think he's not going to make it to the next season. He thinks everyone is distracted. He's severally underestimating both the Stark girls.
Maybe Bran will help

Is there a specific timestamp I should be looking for or are you talking about "what is dead may never die"?
Because you might be taking that saying a little too literally, Theon is also dead then and probably many more Iron Born. It's just a baptism.
Bran would be the only way I'd be okay with him dying this early because Bran is infinitely more intelligent than LF and knows his every moves. I don't see him dying because of a slip up though.
He's not literally dead...

Like yea being resuscitated after drowning isn't really dead.

maybe i was misinterpreting the scene but I thought the whole ceremony is about killing off the ironborn to resurrect him and make him stronger. euron clearly is not breathing for quite some time so i was assuming he died and was resurrected by that priest dude.
i mean there are so many resurrections in this series. thoros did it. melissandre did it. why do we assume that the same hasnt happened in that scene...
then again if its the same thing the night king obviously wouldnt be able to turn euron at least i guess... (as he wasnt able to turn beric or jon)
Major misinterpretation there dude.
Their ceremony just means that if he coughs up the water, he's fit to lead them.
If he doesn't, he's dead.
He drowned and then recovered. He's still alive, his heart is still beating.
I mean, if the Night King could turn Euron into a wight, what would that mean for Jon and Beric?

Maybe being revived by the light negates that. They're holy now!

as i said. its a show where the dead get resurrected by normal people all the time. we have seen red priests do it why shouldnt those ironborn priests be any different?
Euron didn't die, it was like a baptism.

They literally throw thrones at each other.
I don't think we'll see her again atleast not for long, and if we do it'd be a mistake to reintroduce Dorne this late into the game.
Nope, and Ellaria's actress said in a post-episode interview
that they're both done and off the show

Hell yeah, NK is the only true king. He's been the king for over 8000 years so he knows how it's done

The general theme of the show has been people fighting for power and destroying the realm in the process and rendering it unable to fight the real battle that they refuse to even acknowledge. There is no reason to believe things will change, Cersei has made it clear that she will be quite happy for the whole world to freeze or burn as long as she and Jamie (and I think he is negotiable) are the last ones standing.

I thought since they didn't show her outright being killed, they might be a chance, but thanks to the quick time lapses in the last two episodes, she's probably a rotting, smelly corpse now.
Offscreen? That's super lame.
It's what those characters deserved

Would be a bit morbid watching her slowly rot away and getting updates every episode.
Come to think of it, the Night King does need human male babies to "reproduce". He might not kill every human in Westeros if he strikes a deal with some of them for their sons. Do they need to be male though or was that just Craster that wanted more daughters to fuck?
Oh shit! What if Cersei offers her baby to strike a deal with the NK?

Yeah, guess Craster's deal was strictly for reproducing, needed all his daughters. I wonder why there aren't any female WWs.
Well the poison only takes a few days to kill you. I was secretly hoping that either the writers got careless or she had the antidote on her.
Yes, that's him.

This goes over why they had to make the White Walkers.

Night King doesn't need to negotiate. He could literally order his army to take the babies during the killing spree.
Plus, him bargaining would be the biggest eyeroll of all time and we just saw Brienne and Arya mock fight. We don't need anymore cringe.

I was talking about a weapon vs the white walkers , wild fire is THE best weapon IMO to fight those hordes of undead and white walkers.

I mean they did make a deal with Craster way back when, so we know they're not above making deals. But yeah, Cersei trading her future baby is too much.

Nope. No character ever deserves to be killed off screen no matter how bad they are written.
I doubt they will talk about this but I really do wonder how this deal came about. Caster is the only human that we know of that has had some kind of contact with the White Walkers without either party dying.

I don't think it's a "deal" but Craster knows how to appease the things that control the land he lives in. Similar to leaving loads of food near a tree in the woods so the predators don't break in and eat you.

Hardhome night king was a thousand times better than this one that looks terrible in comparison, its one of those decisions i dont understand, he looks so fucking badass.

I much this actor for the mountain. Mountain is supposed to be older than the hound, but the new actor makes him look younger.
Man, thinking back they really glossed over such an important part of the show, especially killing off the children of the forest so quickly. Hodor's death had more weight to it than the CotF in that episode, and they are literally the cause of the greatest threat to life in Westeros. Hopefully season 8 isn't just about big battles, and there's more interesting history like this video, but with the way they have handled it thus far I'm not holding much hope.

Yeah, he seemed to frame it as sacrificing to his "gods", like a ritual rather than a traditional bargain or negotiation.

I never considered it until now, but Stephen Dillane didn't like Game of Thrones and didn't watch it because it was too dark.
I was pissed that they killed him off screen but maybe it was per his request, not wanting to be involved in the bloody mess of it all, or didn't want to have a video of his head being chopped off or some shit. I'm probably reaching here, but I'm still kinda bitter over it.
I agree. But at least now his face is obscured and he won't be talking.

The whitewalkers are fireproof though.
