How long would it take the zombie army to reach anywhere meaningful anyways? Obviously the show doesn't give a gently caress about that with all the teleporting going on but if you look at the pace those zombies move at I can't picture them marching anywhere with any speed, though they do have the advantage I guess of never having to stop to eat or rest.

The funny part is if the good guys hadn't brought a dragon to them, they may as well have just walked right back where they came from.

So how many episodes we at now with no Ghost

I think ...17? All of last season and all of this one. Maybe more, because the last I can recall seeing Ghost was the episode where Jon gets resurrected, I think.

The Bronn and Cersei poo poo seems really unprofessional. I've suffered loving horrible exes at work for a lot less money.

I guess they can be divas in their position, but still.

They have been in at least one scene together, for all of 30 seconds, back in S3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo793y10pMs

I think they might've been in a scene or two together during the Blackwater Bay episode, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe the tensions during those few interactions were so bad that the "no more shared sets" provision had to be written in for them.

I was really hoping for some night king/white walkers reveals this season. It seems like they are just going to be nameless villains without any motivation at this point. 6 episodes next season is not enough to establish them as anything other than "kill everything, make snow angels".

well they're about twice as fast as humans sprinting so 30 mph, so about 500 miles a day to account for obstacles. so they can be in winter fell in hours and King's landing in days

hmm what kind of obstacles are we talking? Large rock chunks perhaps?

If we're lucky we'll get an exposition dump from Bran in one episode for 2 minutes that fills in a tiny bit of backstory for them.

Bran will have a vision of a human dude loving the Night King's wife on a moonlit night, and then he'll see the NK seething off to one side, swearing vengeance against all mankind.

The timing would've been pretty bad for that considering the wall just came down. Surely ravens are going out from Eastwatch.

I guess you could say that level 20 assassin Arya was wise to LF's tricks and 'lurking in the shadows' BS from the get go, and quickly informed Sansa of this, meaning that the scenes where they were fighting were simply done to mislead him as they knew full well he'd be spying on them. I suppose the convoluted reasoning would be that Sansa knew if she had sent for LF to be brought before her in front of everyone, he would've realized something was up and fled. Whereas if he truly thought that he'd driven a wedge between her and her sister, then he'd stand in the hall with the the rest of them and give her the opportunity she needed.

More likely, though, the whole thing between Sansa and Arya was played completely straight, and Sansa only turned on LF after his dumb little "sometimes I like to play a game" moment.

I'd to think Sansa bought his bullshit and was planning on trying to kill Arya and Bran got a future-vision of this and went "OK, enough with the bullshit! It was Littlefinger, here's how he did it. I have to go back to psychic bird watching now, stop trying to kill each other you loving morons."

He got brain damage all season when he hung around doing absolutely nothing for no reason and was killed in, according to the cliff notes version of the scene (which was much better) "MAYBE" was killed. They had no idea what to do with him.
