Hmmm interesting. They did establish she has great aim in the scene with Gendry where she throws the dragonglass at the wall.

Yeah lol

Pinnacle has odds for lots of things, most interestingly IMO for who will die in the next episode. Currently looks something like this:



Thoughts?

Also worth mentioning since it was just brought up here: the odds of Hodor coming back as a wight at some point are 1.833 for YES and 1.909 for NO.

I don't touch markets for that kind of stuff where outcomes are already known to some people, but Grey Worm and Theon should be like 1.1. Also Brienne is surprisingly long (no jokes, please). Davos worth a punt too.

The lowering of expectations has been essential preparation for watching GoT eps for a couple seasons now.

I doubt Tyrion will die, otherwise the scene they showed us where Bran told him what he's been up to for the past 8 seasons would have been meaningless. He will at least live until that plot point plays a role

It's an example of a strong, concise narrative that is neatly buried in a seemingly mechanical excuse for Gendry and Arya to get together.

Provided Arya actually brings the Ice Dragon down, it will be a fine piece of storytelling. If she doesn't, it's a missed opportunity.

After that scene, I'm going for the NK killing Arya 1-on-1 before Jon can get to her (i.e., Phantom Menace where Qui-Gon dies), then Jon taking it down just when it looks like several heros are about to bite the dust (Frodo destroys The Ring).

Surely Arya would need one hell of a throwing arm to puncture the dragon? Unless dragonglass goes through Walkers like a knife through hot butter.

Put odds for events in a scripted tv show in a spoiler you moron

You're a treasure

The Hound will definitly survive because there will be the endfight with his brother.
Jamie will survive until he kills either Danny or Cersei...
+I have a feeling Danny ****s everybody over and leaves for the Iron Islands before the battle begins.

One thing I still wonder about is the dream Dany had in the early seasons where she was walking in the Iron Throne room and it was covered in snow with the building being a ruin. It seemed like foreshadowing, but it could just have been a dream.

Bran also had a similar vision with the Iron Throne covered in snow and the building being half destroyed.

Although I guess those visions could still come true if the Night King is defeated and Dany/Jon/Cersei fight each other in King's Landing afterwards.

I've seen some speculation that the Night King actually bypasses Winterfell and takes his dragon to King's Landing, which I think would fit the prophecy pretty well

Wouldn’t Dany’s dragons annihilate the Walkers if the Night King and his dragon aren’t around? His army would need to have something we haven’t seen if he’s not going to be at Winterfell.

not that i necessarily think he will, but Jaime could die next ep

*Tyrion re-retelling the old joke about how he'd like to die if given the choice*
*Jaime wanders off without replying in kind and stares at Brienne*
(he previously said he'd like to die in the arms of the woman that he loves, at the time it wasn't clear who he meant, probably Cersei, but not definitely, anyway i think it's pretty clear what he thinks on the matter now)


also, Brienne to Pod earlier (in s6?):
"i can't make you a knight, but i can teach you how to fight"
"i suppose that's more important"

now he knows how to fight, and sing!
and now she CAN make him a knight ... if they survive

She has enough of a history with Gendry that the weapon wasn’t needed for them to interact. My guess is that Arya May be the one to kill the night king or the dragon with that thing.

but yeah, i don't quite get what Jaime's big service to the cause is supposed to be if he just dies fighting zombies in Winterfell, so he probably needs to have a final showdown with Cersei

Seems like either Jaime or Brienne is going to get it after that great scene last week, but I come back to an interview with the actor who played Bronn....I don't remember his exact quote, but it was something to the effect of "Thrones fans won't like me very much after this season"....Now that we've seen the mission he has been sent on, I believe he is going to end up killing Jaime

I think it's plausible that Jaime survives the Winterfell battle, sees breinne fall, and now here comes an old friend to kill him

A buddy told me he thinks it would be out of character for Bronn, but I don't think it's too far out there -- there have been a few times where he has shown his love of gold and castles

Bronn kills Jaime and disappears from the show....

It’s highly predictable, and pisses me off.

Agreed. Another issue I had with the NK skipping Winterfell is that (as far as I know) he is the only one with the power to raise the dead

I don't see how they do this episode without them giving us some undead Starks lol

Do we know why it’s taken the NK so long to make his move on the wall following his prior defeat? Seems like he’s been incredibly inefficient. Mance Rayder and prior kings beyond the wall were able to amass huge living armies in a generation even without the NK’s supernatural abilities. NK could have easily turned those armies, but instead was doing things like making blue eyed babies one at a time.

i could see it, but ... it's felt like Bronn has had far greater conscience than he's let on, post-Blackwater maybe, the cracks in his mercenary facade have been there for a while now anyway (similar to the Hound)

passing on the opportunity to kill Jaime or Tyrion for gold would be a satisfying conclusion to his arc

I know, I actually think that's what will happen, I just find that a super unsatisfying ending to Arya's arc is my point. All that time spent becoming a ninja to just go be the Lady of Storm's End? pfffft

Yeah, he's one of my favorite characters, but somehow I have gotten to where I like all the characters, but he has on a few occasions demanded more gold for his services

I think it would be very Thronsey for them to kill off Brienne and to show Jamie's heartbreak, and he let's his guard down

This scene tilted the hell out of me.

"Oh cool, we're about to get some great forward plot momentum here with this convo between Bran & Tyrion!"

/CUT! SCENE! GREAT JOB GUYS IS TORMUND'S MILK READY?
