So when he told Littlefinger that "chaos is a ladder," that wasnt in connection with a past grievances? I love that you're just making stuff up like it was written in an appendix from GRRM.

I mean, I can understand total focus being required to defeat the Night King, and Bran aided in Littlefinger's trial because LF was stirring shite up and had to go. Cold, hard, heartless, sacrifice of one life for the needs of the many.

Titles and claims are pointless. If there is anyone in Winterfell besides Jon who truly knows what is about to hit the fan, it is Bran and Sam.
So why are they the ones stirring shite up?

What Jon said of the Hound and the Brotherhood is true and needs to be repeated to these fools- we're on the same side, because we're living.

The lion in the north is my episode title guess

Episode will be titled The Enemies to the East.

There’s a solid theory on Reddit about Qyburn and him giving Bronn the crossbow. I don’t believe it, but it is a good theory nonetheless (read it below)...










Qyburn will save the world!
– How?
– Well, we only have his word that it was Cersei who ordered Bronn to kill two Lannister brothers. Why would she trust Bronn with such a mission? She knows Bronn likes Jaimie and Tyrion and even saved their lives on a few occasions. Plus, Bronn is a sellsword, so nothing is stopping T&J Lannister to outbid C Lannister offer, considering the brothers are bargaining for their own precious lives.
My theory is: Cersei knows nothing about that crossbow mission. She did not give the order. She did not even have the time to give that order since she went to bed with Euron straight after the news of the Wall breach.
Qyburn is her Hand but he does not share her delight about the breach of the Wall, march of the Dead and the End of the World in general. He supported her through thick and thin but he does not support the destruction of the whole civilisation. He is not an evil man. Yes, he blew to smithereens the Sept of Baelor with all those religious fanatics and the gawking nobles, but that was because it was the only way to get rid of the zealot plague.
Qyburn is a scientist. He heels the sick and builds weapons to defend people against firebreathing dragons. We do not see him doing evil for the pleasure of it. He even apologised to his colleague the Grand Maester Pycelle before eliminating him.
So, how will it go in the next episodes?
I reckon Bronn will walk out of the gate of the Redkeep and find not several chests of gold but two beautiful Dornish women, the mother and daughter. The poison which Cersei delivered to the daughter vie a kiss was not a "Long farewell" but a homeopathic ointment. The girl and her bloodthirsty mother survived the Redkeep dungeons and now are ready to go back to Dorne, rally their people and attack Cersei's forces so she doesn't have the strength to attack the North.
As for Bronn... Well, he will get his favourite girl and the most splendid castle in all of Westeros :)
Who can outbid "Bad pussy + Watergardens" offer? Aye?

How about hopping on top of a dragon and riding it, which only Targs can do? Will that suffice?

Yep, everyone at Winterfell already saw Jon ride Rhaegal, which was pretty anticlimactic in the episode given the gravity of the situation

The altshiftx video of the last episode is up. They guy goes into amazing detail

Qyburn told Bronn about the mission because it's in Lena Hadley's contract that she won't be in any scenes with him.

This was a theory I mentioned in a previous thread. But if they did this I think there will still be the "battle of wintefell," however, the NK and a portion of his forces will continue south to amass more soldiers. The battle at winterfell will happen and a ton of characters will be killed only to discover that its not close to being over. In this scenario though I imagine that defeating the NK will revolve around them going to some origin location to destroy something or perform some ritual to destroy (or replace) the NK.

They think only his father is a Stark but they don’t know who his mother is. For all they know, his mother (again they don’t know she’s the real Stark parent of his) could have had some Valyrian blood.

I just think his real parentage will be confirmed another way. Seeing him riding the dragon might help the argument but there’s going to be more supporting it.

Especially for someone like Dany. Using this logic of dragon riding=100% Targaryen blood, why wasn’t she surprised he was actually able to ride the dragon? She thinks he can ride the dragon because she give him permission, not that he’s an actual Targaryen.
