she'll probably be the one who tells beric and the fire men to go to the wall
the hound will probably join up and won't have a vision
there
But if noble/smart acts aren't rewarded how can anyone tell if devious/stupid acts are being punished. If everyone suffers how are consequences separate from rest of the shit in the world

That's one of the things I will always be in collision with part of the fanbase, especially only-show audience. In my particular view, what was fascinating about ASOIAF's universe is that most things and characters aren't black and white. They're more grey than anything. I can actually sympathize with the Lannister cause when we have characters like Kevan or the "new" Jaime. Tommen is a good boy and could become a good king. But some people are just too invested in the Starks and only care about their pov. Sure, they are the good guys and the victims most of the time but that's not how I would like the story to be about.
In other hand, for example, the Hound isn't a good guy. He is a murderer, he even considered raping Sansa, but most fans love him because he said "fuck the king" to Joffrey and became buddies with Arya, so he is in the good side. And of course, he is also badass. Unfortunately for me, the show is becoming more and more like a regular fantasy series with good guys vs. bad guys fueled by fanservice.
I remember reading on Reddit a very important point, Sansa is a "mind" character, she works really well as POV character because what goes on her head is what is important, that is very difficult to pull on the show, so I get initial hate, but after how her story developed in season 5 and 6 I'm left scratching my head, how can people be more sympathetic to Theon or hell even Jaime when what they did to the Stark favorites is by far much, much worse than some lame letter or she acting spoiled that one time?

As I said in previous posts, some might have missed the fact that they left with at least three shown extras. However, they definitely ended up adding more randoms to certain scenes to make them look better. The very first time this happens is with the polar bear too. Maybe the guys just fast-traveled and we didn't see them as they caught up with the party right before they died?
We always just called him Billy.

beric is the guy with the eyepatch
in the books he gave up his unlife to revive cat

Beric is the one with the eyepatch.
He gave his life to revive Catelyn Stark.
So in the books. She will help Jon capture a wight.

What if the entire wight capture sub-plot isn't even in the books?
Moff

Of course it isn't, its incredibly dumb.

Oh well fuck
well there you go. She'll tell the merry gang to go capture a wight. Or something.
I would assume it's not considering how fucking stupid an idea it is on paper.

or maybe they go about in a way less stupid way, such as laying traps or something

A time for wolves probably

"A Time for Wolves" title turned into "A Dream of Spring"
Why would ZombieCat even go to Winterfell
John Dunbar
correct about everything
to give her daughters a kiss with her new throat mouth.

Spring is Book 8
It isn't confirmed there is a book 8. This is still supposed to be a 7 book series.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
it's a 5 book series and the sooner we all accept that the happier we'll be.

True we will never get 7 anyway so it doesn't matter.
Martin is angry that LSH isn't in the show. You really think her purpose is just too tell people to go North? That doesn't make a lick of sense.
You do realize she is about to see Jamie, right?
Majmun
Member
I really don't know. I'm just going by the current situation based on the show. Which is basically baseless.
But If Cat would be in the show, and still alive, she wouldn't want to leave her daughters.
And there's a huge catacomb there that she can haunt with her presence!

She literally told Brienne to go here and do that. LSH seems content in staying in one place
And I'm pretty sure Jamie is being brought to her. LSH is a rock, man.

That gave me a chuckle. Can't find it either, but it made me think of an image I've seen of some random undead that had no jaw or throat, but still had its tongue dangling out somehow.

their point was that she wouldn't be content just telling people to go NORTH specifically
BreezyLimbo
Banned
But she is content telling people to do things
I didn't say LSH was traveling around. She's been chilling in her hideaway while the Brotherhood enacts her revenge.
I think it's funny that you're trying to simplify the books to match the show even though the books are anything but simple (and the stories diverged years ago).

She also just killed tripod.

No, it's older than that and IIRC it's from a comic. Or maybe an album cover. Someone had it as an avatar.
John Dunbar

nah, pod is hostage so brienne does as she's told.

like any noble lady in this world she is accustomed to giving orders
BreezyLimbo

simplify what
I'm just stating the fact that LSH just likes sitting around telling people what to do and that in the books she'll probably be the one who tells the brotherhood to go to the wall to help Jon
What actually bothered me most in the entire episode was how there conveniently was one wight left that they could capture when the rest fell. It felt like their order of 1 wight takeout was ready. At least let two survive so they had to kill the other, now they had it on a silver platter.
It's a minor thing in an episode with a mountain of issues, but still struck me as lazy.

Sorry, my mistake. I thought you meant LHS' whole purpose was to jump start this wight hunt. You just think that's how she'll fit into this quest. My bad.
Though I doubt this quest will happen in the books it does seem plausible that she'd direct the BwB to go North.
My money is still on her to resurrect Jon, though. She knows about Robb's will and has the crown. Can't wait to find out!

Right. I don't think the wight quest will happen as shown in the TV show, but I feel that it will be something similar. If not a wight, it'll be a white walker.

she hates jon tho

but jon will most likely be warding sansa and she loooooves sansa

why would sansa leave the vale
I always tend to defend the show, because it's probably not easy getting to the end in such a short time if GRRM takes decades for it.
But this episode was just dumb.
From all the stupidity that happens beyond the wall (that was your plan, Jon?) and in Winterfall the thing that bothers me most though is probably how damn unlikable they made all the Stark kids for this season. I just don't get what they are going for here.
Also lol at the resapwning red shirts. Looked to me as if the same guy got killed over and over.
And Benjen is going to be some sort of meme.

Actually that's not bad writing or convenience.
That was planned by the Night King, that maginificent bastard is so clever and had his goal the whole time, get a nice, big dragon. The planted wight was brilliant.

Probably be sold off by littlefinger
that for sure will happen
The clues have been there that the NK is a potential seer. The way he can see Bran while he's possessing something else or doing his farsight.
So if he is a seer, then this episode will be redeemed. If only because everything that happen will be because the NK 3D chessed everything.
