It certainly feels strange that the big baddie might lose next episode. Unless Dany will be the big baddie. Seems strange that the Night King might lose and Euron Greyjoy is still dicking around.

I'm way more interested in the Westeros crown stuff than ice zombies tbh. It would kick rear end if they devote the rest of the show to the throne stuff. The night king is a big fuckn nerd.

I want a spinoff where Tormund and Brienne adopt Lady Mormont and Jaime is the live-in tutor.

This seems incredibly nitpicky. I didn't think twice about them having a shot of the map

The weirdest part of this thread, and presumably of other threads, are when people get so upset with the show that they start coming up with predictions they hate for what the show will do next that will piss them off.

It's so weird to me. It's like the opposite of fan fiction. Hate fiction?

That's how every TVIV thread is after about season 4 of any show

welcome to page 69, like the sex move which may have been performed by gendry and arya during their sex, which happened in this most recent episode of Game of Thrones, a television adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin

Arya isn't going to kill the Night King. She'll have some "badass" scene with the staff, sure. But she ain't killing the big baddie.

If she has to fight a dead/wight Gendry in closed quarters in the crypt with that staff, I'll... just shrug.

I'm rewatching the episode and I really love both of the "if you'll have me" scenes with Jaime/Brienne and Theon/Sansa. Those moments feel so loving earned and it owns. They're such crazy rear end redemption arcs for two characters I absolutely hated at times, but I'm all :unsmith: over now.

sansa v dany scene was good by the way, especially because I had heard before the episode officially aired that they just ended their conflict in that scene which is pretty clearly not the case, so it was a nice surprise that it ended the way it did

Arya is a badass assassin, but her inventing a new weapon and fighting style out of nowhere and it being effective is just super cheesy.

It's her stick fighting style from her blind training days, but with dragon glass ends.

This also fascinates me. I'm sure plenty of people who complain about it complain because the show's gone in directions they don't like, which I get, because I felt that way about Hannibal season 3. It's for those people who seem to have not enjoyed the show for a long time that I don't get. I mean, I have enough of a problem finishing shows I actually like. And even when a show starts going in a direction I don't like (again, like Hannibal season 3), I just, you know, stop watching, because I don't have the time or inclination to watch a show that bores/upsets me. What attracts a person to watch a show that just makes them so angry all the time?

Well they're gonna do it again when the Night King burns down Kings Landing on the back of his frost wyrm, and then looks directly into the camera, says "go where they aren't," and then winks.

Jaime and Brienne have great chemistry, and Theon and Sansa actually get along pretty well.

Its stark contrast from Jon/Dany and Arya/Gendry which just don't really work at all.

Also more scenes with Ser Davos please. They've got nothing left for him to do but he's still gold in everything he's in.

I loved his soup kitchen scene. I love it in shows and movies where people are having conversations while doing other things, like that scene where Tywin's just gutting a deer while talking to Jaime in season 1. Always feels so much more expressive than when they're just standing and talking.
