Arya can't die because she hasn't completed her kill list right?

I think the dwarf dies, and Arya will take his face, and murder Cersei. (wasn't she supposed to die by the hand of his little brother?)

Good point.

I also think the iron islands still has some critical importance to have them play it like that.

Maybe the night king bypasses Winterfell, heads south, destroys KL and adds 20k soldiers to his troops and/or Jon and Dany's armies take a big hit in the first fight against the undead, head to Iron islands to regroup and launch a second assault that ends up being successful.
 
We're totally getting a 100% King's Landing episode next week.

Mellisandre to to rock up with fire breathing magic Elephants in order to convince Cersei to save Winterfell.

I really liked episode 2 but it seemed very much a goodbye to a few characters.
 
Fire is a weakness of the white walkers right, why has there been no mention (to my knowledge) whatsoever of using wildfire against them?

Wights, definitely are weak against fire but wasn't the Night King able to walk over dragon fire in episode 7 like it was nothing, same with the white walker Jon Snow killed at Hardhome which made him noticed in the eyes of the N.K ?

It's a weakness of wights. If you look back at 'The Door' episode Whitewalkers put of the Childrens' fires out and walked right through them.

Yes it could be used to kill wights though.
 
Gendry Arya scene was weird and unnecessary. Maybe I'm an old git.
Other han that it was a good episode although still too much let's get together and talk and remember the good old times. But as most will die I get it theyre recollecting.
I like Brienne becoming a Ser part.
Safe to say Dany didn't like getting know she isn't a queen.

Okay then their army, it kills them doesn't it?

Yes, hence why the one died that was held up on the wall in that weird shape that tortmund and the others found.

I imagine though dragon fire will hurt the walkers, hence why dragon glass can kill them too. It’s glass made by dragons fire.

Solely based in King's landing
Highly inflammable so probably not a wise idea carrying it all the way to Winterfell
Does anyone at Winterfell (apart from Jaime) even know that it exists in King's Landing?
Why bother with wildfire anyway when you have two dragons

I think they've been painting Arya as this ruthless killer / vengeance machine for so long that they needed this to remind us that there's still a girl inside her.
The whole Brienne part felt unnecessary to me though, it's not like this was respect for her at last. She's beaten the hound, won a turney, became a king's guard and she's commanding an army in the ultimate battle against the dead, the warriors of the story already saw her as an equal, Jaime even bowed to her and in some way it would've felt more authentic to me if she was fine the way she was.

I hope with Sapochnik doing a couple of episodes this season we'll have lots of battle stabby goodness and maybe a big wildfire explosion that leaves Yara as the last person standing.

And then after ten seconds of her just staring blankly, GRRM comes over behind her and slits her throat.

Tyrion used it in the battle of Blackwater and probably knows how to make it.
 
A friend of mine actually said he hopes that there will be a moment where;

Dany doesn't believe Jon until he gets ice dragoned or regular dragoned and comes out of the ashes unburnt.

But then I also expect;

Jaime to be Azor Ahai
so neither of us know what the feck we're talking about.

Yeah, but it's good that she's broken down that gender barrier and become a Knight. It also sucks though because she's totally going to die.

I liked both parts. I agree that the Arya scene showed that she was still a young woman event though she's a bad ass killer.

I thought that the Brienne knighting scene was good because it confirmed the respect that all the men around the fire hold her in. She's probably one of the two best fighters there along side Arya. One of the most honourable along side Aegon so why shouldn't she be a knight.
 
Terrible episode. There was zero point in 90% of the scenes, almost fell asleep. With 15mins left I made a joke that nothing's going to happen here, the white walkers horses will appear and then the credits will roll in.
The dialog is complete shite. Cringeworthy.

Are we still putting spoiler tags?

No. Don't. It's stupid.

There should be three levels:

1. Not watched since the episode aired in the US - these people should stay out
2. Watched the latest episdoe but want to avoid speculation/trailers - these people should be able to openly discuss
3. Watched and want to discuss speculation/spoilers - these people should be able to discuss in spoilers tags

For some moronic reason, this thread is now for:
  • Category 1 to enter but not read anything because it's all in spoiler tags
  • Category 2 to avoid beause EVERYTHING is in spoiler tags so you can't open anything
  • Category 3 to have a free-for-all
That leaves me fecked because I've always followed the rules and kept myself in category 2.

For the last 8 years, I've watched GoT but avoided spoilers/trailers/etc. But now, I can't participate in this thread anymore because it's impossible to know what I'm able to read or not.

The thread is ruined. It's almost impossible to discuss any episode without getting trailer/book speculation spoiling everything.

Can promise you it doesn’t happen. You’ll be pleasantly surprised I think.

So many exciting things to come. Next week is fecking incredible but this week was an excellent episode, reminding us all of the characters original traits and where they started.

Just PM your thoughts to me and I'll nod as if I'm paying attention every once in a while.

Clearly one for whores, brothels and battles then? The best parts of the entire show are the relationships and little additions.
