The "Nephew Jon" reveal was all a bit
Thought there would have been more drama around that but Mad Queen Dany is definitely simmering to the surface,very jealous throughout, and how could she question Jon.. Bend the knee bisssh!
Sansa was more likable as she challenged Dany and even Theon didn't annoy me with his sad mopey face. Jamie, Brienne and Co's fireside scenes were a nice touch but agree very much padding out the episode which is insulting seeing as it's a short series, they owe us more!!
Agree with above comments that there will be no Night King at Winterfell yet, absolutely think he's just sent the troops to create as much damage as possible.
Bran needs to start giving us a bit more information and pull his weight.Also, can't remember, are the children of the forest (if that's what they were called) still a thing or extinct, are they going to be about in this war?
-
@RLx31 in the series I think they are extinct, not so much the book i.e. they're on the Isle of the Faces, where Rickon apparently is
-
@Machpants that's a shame I was hoping they would be an interesting addition to this series.

There are also supposed to Children of the Forest in The Neck, the area belonging to Lord Howland Reed. But other than his two children, Jojen and Meera, and a young Howland appearing in the Bran/3 eyed-raven flashbacks at the Tower of Joy, Howland Reed, one of the closest friends of Ned Stark, has not appeared in the series except for a letter saying they will stay in the Neck, so we can guess that in the series they are all but dead. Unless...
There are some fan theories out there that the Reeds (remember Meera returned to the Neck after getting Bran to Winterfell), the Crannogmen and the last of the Children of the Forest will make their way to Winterfell as the battle with the dead is underway to try to save the day, similar to the Knights of the Vale coming in to save the day in the Battle of the Bastards.
I also tend to agree with the theory that the Night King has missed Winterfell entirely leaving the fighting there to his underlings and undead army and is making his way on the back of Viserion to Kings Landing where he will burn the shite out of everything.

Going against the grain but I thought last nights episode was great. It was basically a farewell to everyone. Some wonderful moments like Brienne getting knighted by Jamie, Thormo’s awkward giant story. That whole scene around the hearth was enjoyable.
Seems we either complain they are padding out the seasons or rushing them.
Clearly there are some huge episodes coming up, makes sense to me to highlight the calm before the storm. -

@Virgil also liked Arya's comment to Hound and whats'his'face about spending her last moments with a couple of old sad buggars or something.
Yeah the hearth chat was great, love old Giants Bane, his banter with Sir Brianne!
"Is the giant one here?" as he looks around...

@MN5 hilarious. God I love his character but i know he will be dead soon, and what a shame it will be.
Have we done our lists of who will survive??
I have a feeling survivors will be...Cersei
Tyrion
Jon

@Kirwan said in GOT - there will be spoilers:
I think it’s best not to think of it as individual episodes, but one long movie.
You need this sort of episode, though I agree it should have been one long one instead of two.
Can’t just have 6 episodes of battles.
Completely agree @Kirwan. I really enjoyed that episode, better than Ep. 1 which wasn't bad at all.
I think the writing especially was good, with many good one liners and some really touching moments.
Arya's side boob is getting all sorts of chat on the interweb with many arguments about body doubles etc.
To go further from my last post, here's where I think things will go based on various fan theories and I've been pushing this for a while now.
As per my last post, the Night King and Viserion are not at Winterfell, instead they are flying down to Kings Landing.
The reasoning for this is:
-
We did not see the Night King in the lineup approaching Winterfell
-
In Season 04 Bran touched a Weirwood tree and had visions, all have come true so far except these two:
- He sees a shadow of a dragon flying over Kings Landing
- He sees a destroyed throne room
- Dany has a vision while in the House of the Undead also of the throne room destroyed and what we assumed was ash falling from the sky, but this may not be ash, but rather it is snow or even a combination of both
This would explain why they have previously made a point of Kings Landing having a million people, as that would be more wights to deal with. Also, this is much smarter of the Nights King to do it this way, rather than trying to take on a prepared army and 2 dragons at Winterfell.
One last thing, we know that Bronn is on his way to Winterfell and may see all of this go down, and as such alert Winterfell once he arrives.
Essentially, Battle of Winterfell is a distraction so the Night King can go and take Kings Landing.
The survivors from the battle for Winterfell then must take on the Knights King and all the wights from Kings Landing and here, by killing one, they take down all.
In terms of who lives and who dies, I wouldn't even try to guess. But for those who think Arya may die, recall the Meme (which is supposed to be based on the truth) which does the rounds regularly in which it says that GRRM's wife has threatened to leave him if Arya dies. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Thoughts?

yup I’m in the kings landing destination for the night king camp too. With 20,000 golden company force down there and Eurons navy there’s no chance the Northern forces have to win. But if the night king and his new dead dragon wipes them all out...

You thought Cersei was bad, wait until you meet undead Cersei.
Great post @RoninWC, love your analysis.

Put me in the the naysayer camp to that theory.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback I'll put you in the camp in front of Winterfell!
