re: GoT Middle Ground Thread - SN 7 - NO LEAK DISCUSSION ALLOWED - Book discussion okay

Bottom line I think is they wanted to have a group of popular characters go on a mission north of the wall and skirmish with the NK, WW and Army of the Dead. Something with a "fellowship of the ..." or "magnificent seven" or "suicide squad" vibe.

Sure they kind of shoe horned the rationale for it in, but I've decided just to accept some logic that might be slightly flawed as the show winds up.

I only hope they do it up right - and by that I mean do the dialogue right. I think the action stuff will be as impressive as always.
