Do you think they'll play a part in the endgame for the Throne? | ||

Why all this Tully story and just completely ignore them in the endgame. Do you think they'll play a part in the endgame for the Throne? Nah they cut all of these other houses and regions to focus on something fairly straightforward now. All there is left and important are the people at winterfell and kingslanding | ||

By her own words she's fated to die in Westeros and I can't imagine she comes back for any reason other than the Night King. Unless she's already hiding in the North, this is going to stretch further than Winterfell for her to come back into the picture. maybe she shows up in E03, and in the aftermath this causes further rift between Jon & Dany. Melisandre might sacrifice herself but if she brings followers of the Lord of Light and they're instrumental in aiding the living, and at least some of them are still around afterward, I can see this causing a lot of drama later. why? Melisandre mentioned that Varys will die in Westeros just like she will. Varys's death was already kinda foreshadowed; we can expect that he'll say or do something to Daenerys that will make her execute him. Given his history, I think it's safe to say that Varys hates magic. If the evangelicals of the Lord of Light become an integral part of Dany's support, I see it likely that Varys turns on Dany and chooses to support Jon instead. He'll definitely at least have the support of Davos, but Dany will still roast Varys alive. ironically though if he switches to support Jon, he'd be supporting someone who was resurrected by Melisandre..guess no matter what he does, Varys can't escape magic | ||

Ned Stark will be resurect take his head in his hand, put it back on his neck and then go kill the nightking, he then will behead Cerey and take the throne (literraly) back to Winterfell and rule with Catlin (who's also resurected) | ||

The theory is more about people thinking he's somehow gone thousands of years into the past and warged into the Night King, and not that he's actually him. Maybe there's more theories around it though, but that's the one I heard (which I think sucks and I hope the writers don't go that route). edit: I could see the Night King being one of the original Starks though. | ||

I don't necessarily think that it is the nightking theory, but it definitely would be a big payoff there. Imo this only started because the actors have a similar nose though :D | ||

Sending in their cavalry first with no support. Oh boy, is this going to get picked apart by the medieval warfare fans. So far I'm sure this is not very good military strategy against an army of the dead, but even I have to admit in terms of atmosphere and scale it's hell of an impressive work. To my utter shock, the crypts are actually not secure! Was there any reason why Dany didn't just fly off? Arya gets it wow. I have to admit it's a bit cheap, but it fits better with her assassin background I suppose. At the same time, it does annoy me how quick it ended. So I guess the Azor Azai prophecy didn't mean whoever kills the Night King. | ||

Night's King gets sneak attacked by Arya when he has all the other White Walkers and a bunch of undead around the area? I expected nothing and still I'm let down | ||

Well besides the fucking "end" for now it was a pretty fantastic episode but this kind of leaves me with a BIG questionmark - what the fuck? So a force thats thousand of years old and build up from the very beginning is beaten in an episode? I was all onboard losing the battle and I could have seen Dany or Jon die both believable. The Nightking didnt even sweat being burned by Dragonfire AND then Arya sneaks up and kills him? They cant just sell me on that?! Also - besides the confirmed dead we saw - who really died? This is a real big letdown.. | ||

What a mess of an episode. That C-Rate slapstick scene in the library with Arya..Where is she? shes under the table? WRONG. Also i was expecting a different ending for melisande when she said she wont survive. Why did she just suicide for no reason as if she lost her faith, just moments after the lord of light granting her to make fire twice. And i bet this wont get picked up at all in the next episode. I dont even know if i can say its a great episode overall, so many blunders... Edit: And what the fuck was the point of the whole bran storyline. He didnt fucking do shit. The whole time i was waiting for something to happen. Him warging into the undead dragon or him warging into nightking and suiciding. Literally anything would have been nice. | ||

I mean the NK we saw was arrogance personified and felt untouchable so I guess it makes sense that he would die that way and in its own very its very Game of Thrones but damn. I still want to know how Dany thinks she has enough people to beat Cersei when from what I saw all her Dothraki and most of her Unsullied and her Ironborne are kinda well gone. | ||

Remains of the army + dragon will attack Kings Landing. Will more or less shatter morale of the golden army from essos. Dragon gets oneshot by the ballista, Dany dies. Army still wins - Cersei begs her brother for mercy. Jamie kills her. END And everyone lived happily after. WHAT IS THIS | ||
