NK could have easily turned those armies, but instead was doing things like making blue eyed babies one at a time.

Presumably the Wall was keeping him from coming South. That's why he only attacked after he was able to destroy part of the Wall.

There is no reason to think that the Night King is the only one capable of throwing the magic spears that kill dragons. I'd think Dany would be a bit reluctant to expose her other dragons to a similar risk.

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....

I could also see a scenario like this:

Bronn spied Jamie across the yard, pulls out his crossbow...

Close up of Jamie as the bolt whizzes past his head and embeds in a tree trunk (or a wall)...

Jamie looks up confused... he sees Bronn staring at him.

Bronn "Your sister asked me to kill you... but I knew you'd pay me double what she offered..."

Smile. Hug. Cut to next scene.

It's unfortunate that a show which used to repeatedly defy tropes has now embraced them. Standard fantasy trope - stack the odds so heavily against the heroes that only a deus ex machina can save them.

The Red Woman and the Lord of Light. That’s the answer.

The Prince Who Was Promised was mentioned far too many times to not be relevant in the battle. Presumably we'll find out if its Jon or Dany (or a wild card) and somehow that will prove instrumental in defeating the Night King.

I do really like the quality of Beric Dondarrion’s voice.

I indeed would like I don't know what specifics or odds you're even interested in. Obviously I don't have spoilers here either. If they all get through this season can just get thrown into the garbage and we'll have to pretend it all never happened.

re: Arya and her spear, i dont think its a spear, i think its her staff she used in training in bravos, just with white walker killing dragon glass on the end. When Gendry gave it to her, she was twirling it around the same way she would a staff.

and she was also using a bow at the start of that scene. she is shown twice practicing using projectile weapons and then having a spear made, seems obvious what the writers want us to think, even if it doesn't play out like that.

i wonder if at times in the screenwriter's room GRRM told them major character X dies early in some stupid fashion, and they told him to get lost, as the producers don't like lighting money on fire.

Grey Worm dies in battle and Missandei, overcome with grief, commits suicide in the hopes that she will be raised to be by his side....

Come to think of it, the dothrakis dont really have any kind of leader of their own at all now. THey jsut folded them under daenerys i suppose.

Has a dothraki said a word at all in like 10 episodes?

Didn't they say the Dragons would be protecting Bran?

The NK doesn't know that though. They're talking about the NK's strategy.
