HBO's "Game of Thrones"

[Aesius]

Did Bran lose his warging ability once he fully became the Three-Eyed Raven?

I feel like that could still have massive implications.

I think that comes into play very soon.

Speaking of that, a lot of people criticized the scene where Uncle Benjan just appears out of nowhere and saves Jon. Me and my buddy just say that Brann warged into Uncle Benjan (that’s not what the show implies but it makes sense)

They’re definitely beating the Night King. There is too much other unresolved tension and story to just bury it all with a bunch of deaths in vain at Winterfell. Dany doesn’t believe Jon and his claim, but she’s also already jealous, in the event that it is true. Will she somehow plot against him?

Oh she believes him! Her focus is the Iron Throne.

It is kind of interesting that anyone that has seen the white walkers basically has turned their entire attention to fighting them) while Dany still cares most about the Iron Throne.

Mad King Daddy thing showing. If she lets it get it’s conclusion, I expect Jon to relinquish any claim to the throne...not his thing. But when she jerked her hand away from Sansa when asked about the North, your point looked accurate.

 

[Paper_Towel]

White Walkers can summon skeletons from the ground that they did not kill. The Giants he has are from the assault on the wall maybe, if Mance didn't burn them. They looked fairly "fresh".

 

[RikidyBones]

My problem with Dany has been said in parts. Shes obsessed with the iron throne like all bad kings and queens before her. She is not interested in GAINING respect from the other houses but demands it immediately. And then shes obsessed with it with the WW walkers right outside the castle. Its not a good look. Its petty. Though she is young, I am not sure she is as "just" as shes made out to be by her advisors.

And to think Dany was one of the more popular characters... I think shes losing that and fast.

I just don’t see the WW and army of the dead losing this battle. The end game will be survival.

Still thinking most of the army blows by. Didnt see the night king when they showed the WW ...walk up.

I can see a retreat to the iron islands after a massive defeat at winterfell. I don’t know really. Just spit balling. But I do think something bad will go down in the crypt. It was mentioned 8 times last night and 5 of them talking about how safe it is. Could be classic misdirection by the writers based of fan theory, would never rule that out. I know one thing, it will be hard not to watch next episode early if it leaks.

Night King wouldn't let the Great Jon Umber lead the vanguard so he took his zambinoes and marched them home

Anyone else find it interesting jorah was given a sword called "heartsbane"? He also loves dany..Azor ahai prophecy candidate?

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Whole episode reminded me of a high school reunion. They haven't told us anything new and nobody's dead. With 5 episodes to go, I'm starting to think it's going to be a mad dash to end story lines and character arcs without tying up loose ends.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I think the NK is headed to King's Landing. There aren't enough dead in the Stark crypt to make much of a difference in that battle, and wights in small numbers aren't particularly dangerous against armed foes. Plus, seeing Ned and the rest of the fam's reanimated bones would just be unsettling and almost comical.

Spoiler: They were buried with swords

Maybe Bran reanimates the dead Kings in the North and they fight the Night King's dead army? I think something will happen with the dead Kings in the books, probably not in the show.

I feel you. Remember, though: with the length of the last 4 episodes, there's still almost run time as 2 long/3 average movies.

I was thinking that after he said the name. Gonna be a wild ride

I haven’t read the books (intention after the series ends), but I don’t recall on the show anyone other the Night King creating wights or White Walkers.

 

[UTK]

Brienne being knighted by Jamie may be my favorite moment of the entire series.

I wish it had been a Westerosi’s idea rather than a person who puts no stock in knighthood and what it means. Tormund is super dead next week though.

 

[jakez4ut]

i think this episode was just a reminder of all the dynamics and tensions, new and old, still in play as they're supposed to have a united front against the WW. it's basically amazing Jamie could ride in to winterfell and still be walking around. in any other season, he'd of been executed on sight....of course, he wouldn't have gone up there in any other season lol.

you have the added tension of Jon having Sam and Danny on opposite sides from one another.....a sister who's as worried about what happens after, as Danny is......and Cerci is. the only difference being i think Danny and Sansa at least understand, to some degree, that something at least need to be put on hold. Cerci ain't doing nothin' about ww utnil they're at the gates.........

there are but a select few that really "get it" as far as being able to put aside everything else and focus only on the most imporant thing.....that there is an "after". Jamie is one of them, Jon sees that.

i get why people are miffed about it being a slow start. i've liked it. we haven't had hardly any scenes since season 1 with as many characters all together at the same time, w/unresolved issues.....so it's been cool to see that. i'm glad they didn't gloss over any of it.

 

[mrorange211]

Pretty sure we saw the dragon in the preview for next week. Something is gonna happen in the crypt methinks, but there is really no telling atp.

Okay, so Tyrion, Samwell women and children in the crypt. If it's next week, there was talk that this was the longest battle ever filmed. Should be intense.

 

[Aesius]

Also, where the bloody hell is Melisandre?

IMO she won't show up until the show is ready to reveal the true hero/Azor Ahai/The Prince That Was Promised

And I'm starting to think more and more that it will be Jaime Lannister. He's fully "redeemed," making him a good candidate for being a flawed hero, but his character arc isn't finished. He can't die without a true resolution with Cersei, and I think that will come with him plunging a sword into her heart and creating the true Lightbringer. Then, as "Kingslayer," he will kill the Night King. Or he will severely weaken the Night King, die while fighting him, and someone else (perhaps Tyrion) will save the day, but allow Jaime to get the credit.

 

[IPleadInsanity]

The 2 opening episodes were very slow and not much added to the story line. I guess that will change next week but I was expecting some shockers week by week and the battle later toward the end. I hope they don't just tread water then wrap it all up in an hour.
