For 7 seasons it's been about political intrigue with occasional cameos from the NK. Heck, Bran wasnt even featured for an entire season

If I was a betting man, i would say that Cersei wins the upcoming battle. and when she thinks she has won, someone will come along and assassinate her. In order to achieve that the 2 brothers will have a fight off ... as to who ends up on the throne ..... who really cares, it's the journey thats important not the result.

I feel like there must still be more to come on it though, after all the different theories etc it all feels a bit too simple and neatly tied up

good article, Jon has spent 8 seasons saying 'the naaight king is comin' ...no more!

I watched this last night I agree with what some of you have been saying the first half I couldn't see a thing that was going on. It was very irritating I'm guessing that it was done on purpose to show how dark it would have would have been the fact they don't know where the dead army actually were etc and it was all very fast so you couldn't see what was going on but that's how it would have felt to those in the war i guess. But I was very edge of the seat stuff I loved it!

Spoiler:

I guess no massive character deaths which I was shocked about it thought for a second tyrion and salsa were going to kill each other as a kindness and I had tears in my eyes but then it didn't happen so that was a relief.

Didn't expect ayra to be the one to kill the night king and I'm still wondering how she made it there without being killed

There is a lot to say about it but has probably all already been said so I'll just saw awesome episode

Could Arya have used the face of one of the dead or something or did she literally just sneak through everyone right up on him

No, when they die they shatter like glass

[Nicky91]

way too dark episode, so disappointing the Visuals

also sad that they gotten rid of our one true king, the Night King

Oof, I thought this was Marsh and I just spoiled the whole thing for him by complaining he already knew what happened

[bots]

There is an underground tunnel that leads from winterfell to the woods, it was mentioned before. Isn't that how Bran got back into the castle when hiding from Theon?

Spoiler:

Theon Greyjoy and Joura Mormont have been on the show since season 1.

I'm sad to see a few of the characters leave tbh (even if they weren't necessarily the really big gun characters) I always enjoyed their presence on the programme when they were used.

I've got to say that the season has got better from the first episode back (as it needed to really) and I would say that GOT once again did a fantastic battle, and I personally loved the atmosphere that the episode created, especially in the scene where

Spoiler:

Arya was surrounded by all of those Whitewalkers in the Library type area.

Overall my favourite episode of the show since the season 6 finale.

Yes, there's actually a video floating around where someone shows one the NKs "bodyguards" looking around, like he sees her but it isn't her?

Its hair seems to move like there's a breeze... I suppose like she's moving very quickly but silently through them? Was there something in an earlier season about her learning to move silently? I feel like I vaguely remember something like that.

I think it was movement that caught that dudes attention, as emphasised by a breeze catching his hair.

My theory for what's about to happen next:

As we've seen from the trailer (Ep.4) Danny wants to push on to KL almost straight away, but the second Cersei hears about the victory for the living, she will send the ships up to WF. Bran will see this and warn everyone and they'll relocate to the eyrie, and anyone remember Bron and Tyrions conversation about it being impregnable? Give me 2 good men and I'll impregnate the bitch.

Bron will work his way in and will at some point have a decision to make - take his gold from Cersei, or save his friends.

Bronn better eventually be loyal to Tyrion

And Jamie, now that they're together.

i hear Kit wasn't impressed that Arya got the kill job .... for that alone it was worth it

Oh really? hahahaha Arya is way more badass than him, also, that surely would have been GRRM decision from what he had planned for the books anyway

Bronn literally jumped in front of dragon fire to save Jaime last season, it'll make no sense at all if he now suddenly kills him for cash .

Though I don't understand why she made the decision to scream like "REEEEEEEeeEEEeeEEE!!!" as she leapt through the air... unless the grab-n-hand-switch move was part of the plan .

[bots]

another fun fact, Arya trained for 3 years for that episode and performed most of the fight scenes herself .... thats dedication

Can Ramin Djawadi get some love?

Without fail he manages to give us chills with his score every time. He’s honestly done such a phenomenal job with the music since day 1.

Also, I kinda misjudged how bad the losses were just because there weren’t as many big names as expected.

The “good guys” have basically lost the Entire Dothrakis, most if not all of the unsullied(bar Greyworm) and the Dragons are both hurt. I imagine the Northern houses will be fully loyal to Dany now though considering the fight she showed for them. Army wise it’s probably advantage Cersei now tbh, but 2 Dragons is the big X Factor.

The first 10 mins of music before the battle started was insane, the drumbeat mirroring nervous and adrenaline fuelled heartbeats put me right there emotionally without realising, it was only the second watch that helped me understand it was the music.

I agree how it will end. If he was en extended written character by GRRM, I wouldn't have known which way it would have gone, but as he's D+D's now, then he's pretty much guaranteed to save them.

it's all very thematic too, it mirrors the various houses and themes are taken from them. The interesting thing is that much of the music was derivative of when Cersei blew up the temple. So, its all very cleverly done, even if you don't notice it, it creates subliminal association

His music is ****ing amazing

I’ve been listening to ‘the night king’ literally every chance I get since the ep finished

Yeah, there’s always a point where you can hear a little part of the theme song

Light of the Seven is also amazing. I want to rewatch the whole show just to listen to the music now
