Looking forward to discussing everything here after the episode! Please be mindful of SPOILERS in early posts.

If they survive this, things about to get real interesting. Apparently love doesn't last.

So it was little Tully put on display by the Night King in the last episode.

For the first time, I think, we learn what the Night King wants.

And by the way, I guess Bran's story wasn't really all that long.

The urgency most sought arrived. Compelling to watch, I really felt like you could have fleshed out both of the first two episodes another 20 minutes and still been left wanting more. Sure, it's not like any great advancement of the story took place, but the interactions are wonderful and set the stage for what (presumably, a lot of death) is to come.

After all, how many of these characters will survive the great battle? How many major deaths occur? I have some guesses. I think they tried to foreshadow some of them, or faux-foreshadow them to get us leaning one direction and swerve us.

Next week, the battle for mankind...
 
Beric and his firesword have to be a piece to this. Perhaps related to the legend of Azor Ahai who defeated The Others in the past. But will it be Beric, Jon, or maybe Jaime? Or even Jorah? Azor Ahai stabbed his wife with the sword that eventually became the fire sword.

Does Dany hold back the dragons in the upcoming battle knowing now she is not the first heir to the iron throne? Seems like the equation changed tonight.
Jon couldn't you have waited until afterward? Seriously, some of these characters are just stoopid.

She certainly didn't seem to be upset that she has been shagging her nephew.

What happened to breaking the wheel? And gee, right when you were beginning to bond with Sansa. Couldn't you have made up something, even if we will discuss that later.

Clearly, Arya is making a push for the Night King. Something tells me she will not succeed in the next episode, but maybe they will learn something in the battle. After all, no one has tried dragon fire before so I wonder what else hasn't been tried. Bran doesn't seem to helping very much.
 
Aside from all the 'this is why we love these guys!' stuff from Jorah, Jaime, Brienne, Podrick, Davos, Tyrion, and Tormund, the whole, 'This is the end of the world as we know it, and I'm gonna do me,' vibe was really fun and nostalgic to watch. We got the Lannister brothers reunited, the last of the Night's Watch (and FU*CKING GHOST!), Arya with Hound and Beric, Arya banging Gendry, BRIENNE GETTING KNIGHTED, and Jon telling Dany what's what. I too will lose my sh*t if Dany can't handle being second in line for the throne. The whole politics of 'post end of the world' Westeros is really a drag.

Other highlights:

- Sansa and Dany getting chummy, then not.
- Mormont reunion! Okay - they're cousins, good to know.
- Finally, Bran decides to tell everyone what the F is up with him. It seems more and more than Bran is the memory of the world, and he hinted a few times that he's not sure about the future 'Are you sure there will be one?' and 'I don't know - no one's ever tried.'
- Sansa and Theon.....swoon!
- I won't even get into all the awesome that was Tormund tonight. He had the best story, the best drinking 'glass', and was not shy about wanting to shag the big girl. Makes me sad we lost Ygritte so soon - she would have been awesome to have around.

So, mostly this was the calm before the storm. What did everyone think? No Cersei, no Euron, and no dragons. Guess sh*t hits the fan next week.

I thought Lightbringer (Jon's sword) was the mythical sword, not the fire sword Beric uses?

What was surprising was how funny this episode was. I literally was laughing throughout the whole episode. So many good and funny lines. Great writing.

Same! I’ll give Tormund credit - dude is laser focused. Have a feeling laughs will be few and far between next week.
 
Perhaps she is a little bird?

Makes way more sense than what I was thinking. Reminded me of the little assassin girl that rolled the ball to Dany, which unfurled into a scorpion and tried to kill her, which Baristan Selmy killed. Season 2, I think.

Speaking of Dany, I like her even less than last week. She sucks and isn't fit to rule. I hope she dies first, gets turned and is immediately stabbed with dragon glass and shatters.

Reminded Davos of Shireen, that's all.
 
Everyone talking about impending death tonight seems to make it clear that not too many are going to die. Just a hunch.

I agree with Canuckhal...these people are dumber than wirewolf poop.
The last thing you want is dissension of any kind in your ranks right before the battle.
That sure wasnt much of a battle planning discussion.
The better to surprise the viewers, I guess.
But I think I may root for the white walkers.
Of course I kinda root for the villain in the Avengers movie too...too many people on the planet...the galaxy...whatever.

did that little girl have the scaly disease on her rt cheek.
I think there is definitely something sneaky up with her.

Someone remind me again..exactly how did Tyrion get this reputation as a great intellect...sheesh.
 
Seems like they are definitely setting up Dany to turn bitch. Maybe not completely "bad" or "villain", but seems like her character is definitely leaning towards "the bitch is crazy to be queen" (along the lines of power crazy Cersei). Seems like every scene now has her doing some sort of bitchy move or bitchy comments about "her rightful spot on the throne".

It's almost too obvious to predict Dany to be doing something real dastardly or downright creepy. Does she take her dragons and bail? Does she turn a dragon and fire on Jon Snow to eliminate him from her beloved throne?
 
Stannis Baratheon had Lightbringer at Dragonstone, but Davos took it with him, so the sword of Azor Ahai is hanging around somewhere.

It looked like a burn scar. Most likely from wildfire, which would fit WPB lion's theory that she is one of Qyburn's little birds. She didn't say who her brothers fought for, just that they were soldiers and died fighting.

Separately, when Bran revealed the Night King was coming for him specifically, did he say "He (Night King) has sent many three eyed ravens to find me.", or did I just hear him wrong?

That last part would be awesome because Jon wouldn’t burn and it would solidify him as the true king

Turn? She's the reason Khal Drogo died, her arrogance would have gotten her and her followers killed if not for Xaro Xohan Daxo's greed, she held John Snow prisoner on Dragonstone simply because he wouldn't bend the knee and has had to be reigned back in countless times by her advisors. All the while making bad moves right and left. The only good decisions she made have been when she killed the Masters to get the Unsullied and when she rode her Dragon north to rescue John and the gang. She's been a villain for a long time and has had her arrogance on display since her brother got his crown.
