also, fricking up Dorne made a huge dent in it, too


Speaking of Dorne, where are they? Where is the Dornish army? Did they get fried in Season 7 by Euron or something?

The last big twist I could see happening is Tyrion working with Cersei all along.

D/D just seemed to literally have no idea how to include Dorne and we're just ignoring their existence (see: my sig)

this is just like the Azor Ahai prophecy. persona non grata (unless the NK isn't really dead somehow)

I don’t see it. Why would he want to risk being on the battlements of WF

In my head that’s the only way you give redemption/purpose to Tyrion being such a shitty character these last few seasons

You autistic bastards spent 60 pages in here twat waffling over the angle that Arya came at the Night King? Come on now, do y’all need Sports Science to break out the Gigapixel of the Battle of Winterfell and break it all down to the Matrix speed for you?

Buncha winging in this thread. She hit the John Wick on Ice Maul and his crew got dusted Infinity Gauntlet style. The show is called Game of Thrones. It was never just about the Iron Throne. It was never just about the Night King and his squad. If you just want entertainment about who gets a throne/kingdom then watch Black Panther/The Crown. If you just want to see a show about wrecking the undead, go watch The Walking Dead and it’s CSI/NCIS/Law & Order Universe.

I remember when we didn’t have well-written and acted high budget fantasy shows on cable television. Now that we do, people can’t wait to bitch and complain after every moment in each episode. Must be fricking nice.

There’s theories that he goes on trial for it, but I don’t see how it could work

She’s always hated him, he presumably hates her

Would have to lean extremely hard on the him loving his family theme

The way I have rationalized the “Arya sneaking up” issue is that the NK got cocky and let his guard down. The NK controlled the WWs and the wights like chess pieces. They emphasized this during the battle when the NK stops and uses some hand motion to get the wight to start sacrificing themselves to build a wall of bodies so other wights can advance beyond the trench’s that were on fire. Also, why would the wights and WWs just stop advancing on Bran unless the NK held them back. Whether the NK needed to physically be the one to kill Bran, or take power from him, or whatever other reason, the WWs and wights had become stationary figures and were no longer on the offensive ... they had met their objective and had no further orders from the NK. In that regard, Arya could have moved through the wights without being noticed since the NK was focused on Bran. Or better yet, she showed earlier that she used the mass of wights in an escape where she rolled over the top of them in a stairwell, so maybe her 6’5” vertical can be explained by her running on the shoulders of wights to make her flying attack on the NK. Thus, all the argument over the sneak attack is the NK’s fault . . . he pulled the “Leon Lett” move in The Battle of

Looking back if the NK would’ve caught the knife with his other hand while choking Arya and then stabbing her...

Not in the D&D world though

You’re going to be giddy as a school girl when Cersei goes to Dorne next episode to recruit them by offering to give back Ellaria.


J/k...Dorne’s done.

What if Jon goes to Greywater Watch and Howland Reed shows up with an army of children of the forest?
