During the opening song/animation they showed the flaming trench around Winterfell. They also mentioned it briefly if I remember. I imagine they’ll retreat past that and light it up at some point.

 

Unfortunatly an ice dragon could probably make short work of it or fly right over. Wonder if that’s how the NK will descend on Bran.

 

 

 

Yea it looks like something they were working on, with collapsing bridges.... Grey Worm was doing some inspecting too.

LOL at anyone who thought an hour long ode-to-self was even passably entertaining.

 

If you didn't already know dragongirl was mad for power and destined to be a horrible ruler I question how 'truly' you watch the show.

 

And if you thought the writers needed some grand get together because they're worried the fans are going to be sad at some main characters getting killed off...holy hell are you not giving yourself much credit. You spent 58 mins enjoying an HBO metamasturbation and because there weren't any breasts or blood you think that made it important? Christ dude, they took this week off. It's ok. It happens. But to sweep the reintroduction of Jamie L, reuinted w/ his brother, Starks et al, in the North no less, into a couple scenes and throw in a totally unnecessary 'let's get Arya laid' scene of equal length was laughably bad. The best part of it was Podrick singing. That was great. The rest was terrible.

 

My guess is contract dispute with Harrington this week or something. They gave him, what, about 3 lines total the entire episode?  

Some people liked The Fly episode in Breaking Bad.  Some people didn't.

The NK has powers that allow him to walk through fire so.  I don’t think that scenario is a lock.  

 

1 ice dragon 2 fire dragons

The bridge folds down into a V with dragonglass attached to the wooden poles.

She had a childhood crush on him as a kid; that was it.  I'm aware of their history.

 

The scene was still creepy and awkward.  We just didn't need to see Arya taking her clothes off.  She's not that sort of character.

 

 

Right. And faced with almost certain annihilation in the morning, you’re going to leave this world as a virgin. 

 

More power to you. 

 

I’m with Arya. Get your rocks off and find out what the swizzle stick is that stirs the world’s cocktail. You’re a more complete human for doing so.

Bad comparison. Fly was a self-admitted bottle, and it was shot deliberately so; the production was thematically consistent within the episode's intent. As a viewer I don't have an issue with taking artistic license in a one-off as long as you commit. Fish Out Of Water in BoJack is another good example. 

 

Exposition for exposition's sake is bad television, period. We're talking about a show that cut its teeth killing off main characters unexpectedly...nobody needs a fireside sit down for memory's sake. Maybe Gendry gave Arya herpes.

Stripped down, the DNA of Thrones is people talking to people.  Some interactions might seem slightly forced given the time constraints, but I'd hardly argue this was exposition for exposition's sake.

Ayra wanted some D the night before the big battle.  Nothing awkward about that.  

 

I totally wasn't ready for it... Had to change the channel, I was so grossed -out... Now, I think Gendry wouldn't be such a terrible guy to date your daughter... -He's (mostly) even-tempered...-Has a trade he's pretty good at... Plenty worse son-in-law material out there...

Read an interesting theory about the forthcoming Battle of Winterfell....

 

In the last scene they show the undead approaching Winterfell but no NK or zombie dragon. Could it be possible the NK went to Kings Landing on his dragon to kill/recruit for his army?  

 

The whole last episode didn’t show anything from Kings Landing. I definitely don’t think they would kill off Cersi without showing it. But maybe the NK kills the Lannister army and somehow Cersei escapes. 

 

One nugget to support this theory is in one of Brans visions we see the shadow of a dragon over Kings Landing. All his other visions have come true...

 

I don’t think this is the case, but is still interesting to contemplate.

I have a theory that everyone who was in that room by the fire will die in the next episode.

In his vision the throne room is in ruins, the throne sits empty and snow is falling through the destroyed roof. It would make sense considering the fact KL has no dragons and a million citizens to add to the army of the Dead.

More likely he put a baby in her belly uniting Houses Stark and Baratheon. Baratheon is Targaryan cousins. If Dany and Jon(and Tyrion?) are dead maybe Gendry and Arya end up on the throne.

The one obvious observation at the end of the last episode was the camera only showed a white walker and not the Night King getting ready to attack Winterfell.

 

This a very plausible theory as it's a great strategy. Send a small army to Winterfell as a diversion when a bigger army of the dead attack King's Landing and gain thousands of more Wights.  It would also explain how there's still four hour plus episodes left and this seems like the dead and the living fighting at Winterfell be the final battle of the series.  The two people I can think of that would see the oncomming attack are Bronn and maybe Melisandre who are somwhere between KL and Winterfell.  Is it possible the Night King wants a wife and Cersei is his bride to be?  Bran's vision of the future is faulty since he doesn't have a Delorean so you really can't count on him to see anything coming.

Interesting theory as it would have been foreshadowed by Robb Stark outflanking the Lannisters at Whispering Wood/Riverrun and the Lannisters outflanking Daenerys at High Garden/Castily Rock

Just a horrible take.  But whatever, to each his own.

Nah, I think it's that one of the "reality" challenges they (HBO) have representing the NK and his army now is the dragon.  I mean, is the NK (or the dragon) just up there flying around all the time?  Does the dragon walk some of the time while NK is on a horse?  When you think about how slow that army travels it's difficult to represent.  I think we'll see in the next episode that he's there, and will fly in over the army in an effort to reach Bran.

 

Of course, I could be completely wrong.

Many, not all.  (I hope) 

 

We need to expect that many of our favorites will be killed off.  it will soften the blow.

so who is going to steer the ships since the white walkers etc won't go into the water? are they even smart enough to get into boats? remember when Jon killed one and left on a row boat.
