but no you see they told you how he hated wildlings. he hates foreigners!

it's like scenes don't take place in the logical order. jaime's argument would've worked after the dothraki attacked or started ravaging the countryside. it doesn't make sense for the guy to break a probably centuries old pact because the dothraki are sitting on some island. plus why would anyone come to cersei's side she's gonna blow you up the first chance she gets.

If Tarley was going to switch sides to be LORD of the Reach, it would have made sense to backstab the Lannisters, keep the gold and pledge to Dany. But no, better to lash himself to a sinking Jaimeship.

Edit: also shouldn't cajoling minor lords be Trion and Varyes' actual jobs right now?

Because it's not relevant to the plot and someone is going to need a Valyrian Sword in the final battle (he also could have send someone to Old Town to get the sword, given that he is now the Lord Paramount of the Reach)

Looking at the region around King's Landing just 3 seasons ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlKdIOQVP9U) and what it looks like today, they have a serious global warming problem. Maybe the White Walkers are just coming to solve it?

Yeah it seemed like they wanted to make him the Walder Frey of the Reach but he didn't have any scenes with Olenna so that didn't work too well

How the gently caress are they going to fit all of the rest of the leaked info into just 3 episodes? Yes I know the answer is "poorly" but think about it, next episode we need to see Jon plead his case to Cersei and then the very next episode he's ranging beyond the wall with the A-team when the Night King gets his Blue Eyes Wright Dragon. How is this going to work?

The leaks have been 100% on the money so far. Just like for all of last season. (The only discrepancy was whether Ramsey survived episode 9 or not)

Not all right. Leaks said Sam went to Westeros with Jorah and that's been wrong. I think they're mostly right but there could be some ways the plot could change a bit so Jon isn't zig zagging so much between KL & the Wall.

don't they only resurrect when acted on by a white walker or the night king? So the plan would be kill some random dude, put him in a cage, wait for a white walker to ressurect him, kill the white walker, get the now-wight back into a cage?

I want their expedition to immediately find White Walkers because holy poo poo they're just past the treeline or something

From the full list, we still have:
- Jon realizes he needs proof, resolves to capture a live wight for show and tell
- Gendry returns at last, joins the wight hunting party
- Sam cures Jorah's greyscale with his maester powers and they go North together
- Reunions throughout the season: Jorah + Dany, Sam + Bran, Jamie + Tyrion + Bronn
- The wight hunting party grows to includes Jorah, Tormund, Beric, Thoros, and the Hound. They run into trouble beyond the Wall and most are ultimately saved by Dany and her dragons
- Viserion (the white dragon) dies and the Night's King raises him as a blue eyes wight dragon
- Littlefinger tries to turn Sansa against her family, is sentenced to death and executed by Arya
- In King's Landing, Jon, Dany and their allies show a live wight to Cersei to win her aid as well. Cersei agrees to help but secretly plots to allow the White Walkers to kill her enemies first
- Sam and Bran figure out Jon's heritage
- Jon and Dany gently caress
- The Wall falls

If Sam, Jorah and Danny arrive in Dragonstone at roughly the same time and they immediately set out to capture a white walker, it could fit.

ahahah so the only reason that the Night King is able to get through the wall is because he, through sheer dumb luck, had a dragon fall into his lap and he burned it down. What the gently caress was he planning to do if Dany never showed up? Did he read the script too?

There was no threat from the Walkers at all!
