The wights we see in S1EP1 actually show a bit of personality and even allow one of the castle black rangers to escape on foot after throwing a severed head as a warning towards him. The sequence portrays the wights as being both stealthy/crafty, as well as having a certain degree of sentience and decision making rather than being just dumb reanimated corpses. I was actually expecting a lot more out of the wights and expected them to be closer to the Undead from warcraft, or Orcs from LotR, wherein they have an underlying set of motivations and have a reason for their actions. The current portrayal of wights and white walkers seems far too one-dimensional. Those were ww not wights | ||

I feel like there are many good options for a worthy season finale The LF/Arya/Sansa triangle perhaps has me the most puzzled as to how it's going to be resolved. I figured all 3 would be endgame players what with how much has already been invested in each character. LF has been quietly scheming for too long for him to go out now. Sansa is just beginning to grow into a competent player of the game. Arya still has people on her hit list and spent too much time training to be an assassin for her to go out like a chump. In light of Arya choosing not to kill Sansa last episode, I highly doubt they'd backtrack and revisit that possibility. Additionally, I think Arya might have another purpose entirely this episode. Leaving LF vs Sansa, with a slight possibility of Bran finally playing a part. I somehow think LF will gain the upper hand this season, but Sansa will live to play the long con and outsmart him in the next. == I'd imagine with the length of the ep it's one or both of the WW destroying the Wall or the fall of Cersei. The latter is far more likely. Jamie turning on Cersei has been telegraphed to such an extent that I think it's too obvious to occur now. Jamie will die loving Cersei way more than she ever loved him. Instead, I'm going with the crazy prediction of Arya killing Cersei while assuming the identity of Jamie in the midst of the chaos. I believe Arya's journey to Winterfell was one big misdirection of her original goal at the beginning of this season, which was to kill Cersei. == CLEGANEBOWL!!! Both die == Theon probably redeems himself in some way. Euron and Yara die. | ||

If we get a romance between Danerys and Jon "I have more lifes then 7 cats" Snow... in my estimation that would just be so obvious and so clichée, just horrible. If the show goes down that road, that is just too dumb. But ever since it became clear that Jon Snow is immortal you can see it coming. Please let me be wrong. I feel as with nearly every good show quality is declining towards the end of it all. They are tying all the loose ends together and they don't have enough time to do it. Within two episodes, Jon Snow is in Winterfell, on Dragonstone and behind the wall. To me the pacing feels really off and I have a really hard time imagining a convincing and satisfying ending to this show. Besides from those complains, the undead dragon is a really nice twist, things are getting pretty much out of hand. All in all it is still an enjoyable show to watch. | ||

LF has been quietly scheming for too long for him to go out now. Nah it's just been filler-scheming for a while. The writers don't know what to do with the Winterfell-plot so they are just trying to create some fake drama. It won't lead anywhere and Littlefinger will be killed off in this episode. Sansa and Arya still have plot armor (littlefinger doesn't). I'd imagine with the length of the ep it's one or both of the WW destroying the Wall or the fall of Cersei. The latter is far more likely. Jamie turning on Cersei has been telegraphed to such an extent that I think it's too obvious to occur now. Jamie will die loving Cersei way more than she ever loved him. Instead, I'm going with the crazy prediction of Arya killing Cersei while assuming the identity of Jamie in the midst of the chaos. I believe Arya's journey to Winterfell was one big misdirection of her original goal at the beginning of this season, which was to kill Cersei. Nothing will happen to Cersei this episode. She will acquire mercanaries to rebuild the lannister-army. I think its highly unlikely that Jamie will kill her, and then take over the Lannister army to fight against Dany. I think the main point of the plot for this episode will be these two points: 1. Cersei will maybe fake that she agrees to stop fighting, but will rebuild her army and we will see a big mercanary army at the end. 2. The wall will fall. Don't expect other major plot points. Maybe Sam will go back to Winterfell and the knowledge he gained about Jon being a legitimate son could come up if he talks to Bran. But maybe that is delayed until next season. Bran has been doing nothing all season and it would make sense if he will have some relevance in this episode. With regards to Cleganebowl, it needs a set-up. Not really sure how they are going to fit it in this episode - though you never know w/ these writers. I still hope we see some type of plot-twist w/ regards to Tyrion +Varus but highly unlikely it will occur this season (if at all). | ||

There is no way they can afford a huge battle at the wall given what they invested so far. Further, there isn't even any real army at the wall so it will be extremely onesided. And ofc they don't even have to break the wall where there are humans defending it. They could break it any location. | ||

D&D have explicitly said Jon and Dany are falling in love. They think it's super cool this way. | ||

Add to that the family relationship and it could be interesting how they deal with all of it. Plus possible twists around azor ahai, etc. | ||

I expect the wall to fall is a more helms deep sort of way. Or maybe a large crack. | ||

I think that is why the walkers felt more cannonfodderish than for example the one in Castle Black. When the Hound smashes one with Gendry's hammer, (which I assume is just normal steel) it stands back up again Also happens to be a group of the most experienced fighters the realm has to offer. Wrights vs normal cannon fodder guys and it's going to be a bloodbath. Realistically it's White Walkers vs the all-stars, wrights vs *insert army here*, and undead dragon vs alive dragon. | ||
