I still don't get how every Sansa, Jon and Bran (Arya probably joining as well soon) manage to not trust each other at all and do super akward things. So when Bran is like "i can see the past, present and future" it is pretty obvious Sansa won't buy that. But instead of saying something reasonable he is like "hey remember the dress you had when you were forced to marry that sick Bolton Bastard before he raped you?"... Like, what the fuck Bran. Bran is pretty clearly losing touch with reality and becoming really detached from the world. I don't think it even registers to him he's being awkward or people might be confused or that it's important he speaks clearly. A side effect of his 'gift' it would seem.
Makes sense, hopefully they'll continue that trend though. Curious how his powers will play out in the war vs the undead.

I'm somewhat assuming that the guy we saw sacrificed to become the first White Walker was a Stark because of narrative simplicity. If so there could potentially be a link between Stark magic powers and WW magic powers. Especially given their ability to see him when he's doing his weirwood sight.

That's an interesting theory. Would certainly be a cool twist and explain some stuff.
If something along the lines of what you said happens, i pray they avoid the Star Wars "there is still something good in the super bad guy" way of doing it.

In the scene where he's briefly shown prior to sacrifice, the dude looked more like a Lannister than anything else.

Actually yeah, I've got this backwards. First Men and Children were bros and worshiped trees together. Then Andals show up and wreck shit and cut down all the trees because they worship the seven. There's a long war and the Children create the WW as a weapon. Would make far, far more sense if it was an Andal getting sacrificed than a First. Starks are descendants of the First Men so yeah, ignore me.
I briefly forgot who it was the Children were fighting in that war.

Did we ever get details of who built the Wall and made it magic? Was it during the that war or afterwords in response to the white walkers?

I don't mind the teleporting and cutting past the intermediate battles occurring at the start of this war. It keeps the story moving, which after this many seasons with only one to go, is important. We already know most of these characters pretty well, and it's time for them to be doing the things they were supposed to do all along.
Ellaria and the Sand Snakes still irk me. I wasn't one of *those* people moaning about them non-stop to anyone who would listen online, but they were definitely poor characters. So poor, that I feel the last episode and a half has been undercut by those shitty characters. I didn't see Episode 2 (or 3, for that matter) when they aired, and try to avoid spoilers, but the gist I got was that they were bad/tragic episodes for the good guys.
But I can't bring myself to care two shits about what happens to Ellaria or her daughter (or Yara, for that matter). Some of the most boring characters on the entire show. The most interesting thing about Yara is they decided to make her a lesbian last season, which is setting the bar real low for multi-dimensional characters. I got way more emotional at Sansa/Bran than the scene with Ellaria.
Anywho, while the show definitely isn't where it once was, I appreciate the speed it is moving this season and have thoroughly enjoyed most of what I've seen so far. I also like the slightly longer format.

Put the night king's face next to Bran's.
Also, what if little finger knows rhaegar is Jon's dad and will use this to sabotage him in the North? Maybe that's why Bran would keep it hidden as well as he knows how unpopular targaryans are.

No, when the First Men arrived to Westeros they conducted war with the children of the forest. But later on they had truce and formed alliance, after that the First Men also started to worship carved weirwoods. It was also the First Men who noticed that the carved weirwood trees were you used all over the land to spy and gather intel. Therefore they started to cut them down, and crippled COTF abilities too defens themselves. This was before the alliance.

Varys and Jorah seem to be guilty of the same thing but Daenerys only banished Jorah.

Yea, sure, Littlefinger knows Jon's dad was Rhaegar and doesn't know his mom was Lyanna Stark, sounds reasonable when it comes to idea of sabotage and unpopulatiry

Episode 4 spoilers:
+ Show Spoiler +User was banned for this post.
Well, that and for being a PBU.
|
wtf people, stop posting about episode 4, it's not officially released yet
|
I mean he at least spoilered it, really your decision if you want to read it or not 
|
like it justifies everything, what if he decide to post about whole leaked information? I don't see why people keep doing this, discussion about episode 4 should be after it was on air, not earlier
|
I mean i wouldn't post it now either, but at least there was no damage done for people who don't wanna be spoiled.
