She is, but sending her army north now is hardly a risk free option. She may well judge that the her army isnt going to make a huge difference either way given the state its in. From a purely selfish point of view, depending on what happens she always has the option of abandoning KL and finding herself an island, as well. Not sending her army buys time to see where the wind is blowing and act accordingly.
Because why the feck not. I would never set foot on ground if i had a dragon.
However, why didnt NK just stop controlling the wight jon caught. He saw how desperate they were to keep him alive. If NK just stopped controlling him, wouldnt he have just dropped dead?
As others have said, I dont think shes an idiot. I think shes deluded in her own mind, as she was when she had the religious cult take over to get back at Margaery (not even thinking about what could happen to her)
I think its somewhat the same now. Maybe she thinks its a threat, but not one that will overwhelm Dany/Jon and as a result her army can come in and pick up the pieces for victory.
We as viewers know thats stupid AF cos one army gets stronger through death.
Shes being selfish which imo is true to what weve seen for a lot of seasons now.
Well saidI don't think they are trying to make it fit the title. I think they named it the way they did because the Game of Thrones is what the show is actually about and yeah I think that 90% of the last 2 seasons is about right. After all the only episode that was about beyond the wall this season had large parts taking place south of the wall. I can't think of an episode taking place North of the wall in season 6.
Edit: Yeah the was the episode 'The Door.' To be fair most of the stuff that has come from Bran though has been about the Game. Little Finger's duplicity and Jon's right to the Throne.
At the end of the day most people who watch the show want to know who will be on the Iron Throne when the series ends or if the Iron Throne still exists.
I'd say that most people expect that the living will win the Great War. The only question is who will be around to sit on the throne when it's over(if there is one).
I think it would have been a better show if it didn't actually have a Zombie army just milling around the other side of the wall doing nothing for 7 seasons.

The Night King may be a silent cold hearted emotionless fecker, but he's never lost his sense of fun. The face may be still bit inside he's going "Whooooohooo!! this is fecking awesome you wildling cnuts!!"
I'd like a GoT future speculation thread, but it's a thin line between speculation and spoilers and I don't know how that would be policed. Actually this thread does OK, it says no future speculation in the title and doesn't actually mention the b word, but people speculate about the future all the time without anybody complaining, whereas any mention of reading is met with a firm response. I think it basically gets the balance right.
I dont think you can mod a Speculation thread. People will inevitably present the stuff they read online as their own speculation and there is nothing you can do about it. This thread has done a pretty job like you said of weeding out certain posters/posts.
I suppose you can try account for every scenario, but you'll always get sad cnuts like robin the microwave.
So what do we make of that.. the wights formation was that of a direwolf?
The Night King knows Bran is watching, and it was either that or a giant middle finger.

Looks like a penis to me.
I have a wild theory
the NK is an undead Targ. Maybe coming to claim (or reclaim?) his throne
What would everybody think about an origin type episode on the Night King (+ the WW and undead) next season? I was thinking about it, but basically an episode showing:
-More on NK being created (who he actually was and why he was chosen)
-How the wall was built up (which plays to it finally being brought down)
-How Craster managed to make a freakin deal with him regarding sons that were just born.
I know we only have 6 eps left, but given its basically a few plots left:
-Dead vs living
-War for Throne
and the side plot of trying to rescue Yara, details of who the successor is, etc, I think that could all be covered in long episodes of 5.
Or would people prefer the mystery around it keeping in tact?

I'd like it if there was more time but I wouldn't want to sacrifice one of the 6 episodes for it. That'd be good for a feature length spin off film, a bit like the Caprica film after Battlestar Galactica - tho of course they made a whole series out of that.
Out of interest, if they decided for a spinoff which arc you'd want them to make?
As much as there's many loveable character i dont think anyone interesting enough in their own. But if i have to choose im more curious bravos and the iron bank arc. Or perhaps a young tywin rose to power.

Someone else was talking about a series looking at the early Targaryens as well earlier, there's actually tons of material that would be interesting to develop in separate projects. Wouldn't bet against something or other happening a few years after GoT finishes.
My guess is a little backstory on their origin and that's it. We're too late in the show for an in depth backstory.
Considering even martin didn't explain much about the nk (haven't read the book) i think he simply just wrote them as the big bad boogey man just per se.
Robert's Rebellion.
So many. Aegon's 200 year rule, then the Mad King taking over bit, Rhaegar's past, Robert's Rebellion, the whole Night King and White Walkers history of over 8000 years ago.
There has been a glimpse of his creation, in episode 5 of season 6: https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gameofthrones/images/f/f7/Night's-king-creation-605.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170409161542
I'd like to see more of his origin but I don't think an episode of this series should be given to it. I wouldn't want to compress the main events any further and it would take us out of the build to the climax. A few more glimpses could be good, though, and a whole series on the war between the First Men and the Children of the Forest, on the other hand, could be very interesting.

The thing is once got finishes the arc is well closed. And as much as there's stories in the past we all know the future so it kinda ruins the whole premises.
I won't be looking forward for a rhaegar spinoff when i already know how he'll end up.
Probably a continuation spin off? Like what happens after the whole dust is settled, a nre enemy?
Really? Even though it's centuries ago? Plenty of scope for surprises. Isn't that a bit like saying I wouldn't watch a film about WW2 because I know who's going to win anyway?
Probably. But we know how it ends. Kinda ruins the expectation dont you think?
Yes but if someone came up to you 10 years ago and assuming GRRM finished all 7 books and told you about a series of books with this battle for the Iron Throne and who wins, will you not be curious to see how it plays out? Sure you know how it ends but it would still be nice to see battle scenes and important characters along the way.
I think it could be good. I enjoy waiting to see how the series turns out but I loved the LotR films even though I knew how they ended.
I don't know...'No Spoilers Bitches!' would work in the thread title as well...
The Doom of Valerya(sp). 100%.
Yeah, I'm with you on that. But people have different views on it, people don't like things being spoiled and that's fine and they should be catered for.
I think I'm not that bothered though now because the quality or writing for the show is terrible. However the episodes are brilliantly filmed and are captivating in their own new way, so although it's gone a bit dumb, I can't wait for the next season. I don't care about it being spoiled anymore though.
Agreed. I like the meme story line they had a few pages back about that story.
Robert's rebellion, although we already know how that ended it would be devoid of tension and probably lesser for it.
holy feck i just realised i've been in a house party with rhaegar targaryen

What a cnut this guy was.
I know most of season 7 was leaked before the season had aired but were the leaks really this detailed? Luckily I managed to stay away from it all.
What a cnut this guy was.
The "I'm going to guess at a timeline" part gets me every time.
Did he get outright banned?
#TeamNightKing
He should be, what an utter utter cnut.
Well considering Baelish has absolutely nothing to offer the endgame, which will be dealing with the White Walkers, I'd say season 7 episode 7 is when it'll get this nice and fluffy.
