Tyrion doesn't die

This episode built him up dying so hard. If he doesn't then I have no idea what the show even does with him. The writers clearly don't know how to write him smart any more, to the point where they realized they hosed up so bad they had to have several scenes this episode where characters go "Look Tyrion you've hosed up a ton but we know you're still SO SMART."

Honestly same here. Like he's not trying to destroy the world he's just trying to stop Bran from warging back in time and getting turned into the night king in the first place.

This is a cool theory.

C'mon, there is no more reference material and we're on the last leg of a series that started in 2011. You can cry about it being hamfisted, but most people want to see these character interactions happens. Yes it's exposition, but we're at the end. If it didn't happen, then there'd be no character driven sequences. You're looking at the wide plot. Look at the individuals they brought together. So many of them were crucial to the plot and development of the show. If we don't have a few minutes of exposition, then we as the audience will never get a satisfactory resolution.

Imo if they don't like it there's no way to explain it to them. The joy is simply gone from their hearts

He’s the only one who knows Bran’s story, which means it will have to matter at some point that he has that knowledge. Then he can die.

It's actually good that she has something she's into aside from murder.

But, come on GoT, it's OK to cut away from a sex scene without any nudity. Lots of shows and movies do it.

He was going to be the white orc, which I always found funny because he lost that role to Manu Bennett, who fought the same actor on Spartacus (the original mountian played one of the German slaves in the second season, the one that got his face cut off).

I know, but he's the author's insert character and he can't die until at least the very end if he does die. I would bet you actual money he will survive until the last episode

Yeah the dead are gonna rise up. Remember when Bran and Jalen Reed or whatever was attacked and it was just some skeletons. It's gonna be that again I bet.

Also what ever happened to Howland Reed. I guess he never will turn up in the show! Unless he did and that's another thing I forgot.

Alright, let's do this
I just remembered, when Bran first got to the other 3-eyed raven they were attacked by skeletons that didn't have much if any meat left on them, so really a crypt full of skeletons is still doable. That might have just been the three-eyed raven's home defense system though.
