So like, what's literally anyone's plan for breaking this news to Danerys, and how do they plan on backing up such a claim?

Theon and Jaime are both characters I can't see surviving meeting if they're captured by the wrong people, so I wonder how they will make it so he's just not outright dragon food.

I almost thought Euron asking how the King was in bed was going to be an excuse for them to put in Cersei's monologue from the books.

Winterfell should put up signs that say "Winterfell - This way" that actually lead to Kings Landing instead, making the WW army go past them.

Tormund and Beric are going to low key save the whole world and it's going to be loving badass.

There should be a scene where it looks like Brienne is running towards Jaime to kiss him, only for the camera to pan to reveal she's running towards Tormund instead.

Surprised we didn't get any in the first episode. Really thought Beric and Tormund were gonna bite it for a moment there because I assumed someone had to die.

Yeah I was expecting something like that as a "Final Season no one is safe" thing, but I hope they don't just put all that stuff in the final 2 episodes.

Arya is the only character I think will not die. I have a feeling Sansa also has a pretty good chance to survive.

I used to think Tyrion was the safest character but with this season is probably the best bet for a surprising big death. Not right away but definitely before a final battle

I think it's pretty obvious what's gonna happen. Things will look real bad for Jaime, then Bran is gonna roll up and deliver a stirring defense.

In conclusion, if Bronn tries to kill Tyrion, people will bitch about how it's bad writing, and if Bronn doesn't try to kill Tyrion, people will bitch about how it's bad writing.

Bronn gets killed by White Walkers on the way North, meaning people can complain about that forever.

I'll be interested to see the book take on the whole "Ned not actually killing Arthur Dayne in fair combat". I never quite understood why he kept that under wraps.

Since one of the guys there used a net I like to think he just threw it over Dayne and Ned stabbed him

dude who plays tormund is way too good for this show tbh it not like his lines are any less dumb or cheesy than anyone elses but somehow I 100% buy his character and I barely even remember his character from the books

A lot of that is Mance’s plot given to him some after Mance’s actor kind of did nothing.

Not that Tormund is bad, because he’s one of the best things with the show.

Looks like both dragons are alive in the previews. I guess it kinda makes sense: Jon getting two of Dany's dragons killed would probably be a :sever: moment.

Did Ghost get a dragonglass grill or something because otherwise there's no way he should have even been there.

He’s better at stealth than even Ayra. The enemy never saw him because he’s just out of frame all the time
