Arya takes Jamie’s face and kills Cersei.
Arya takes Qyburns face and kills Cersei immediately after Jamie can't do it and Cersei kills Jamie.
The Mountain tries to kill Arya but she legs it and he chases her.
They fight and just as the Mountain is about to kill her, the Hound intervenes.
BOOM! ....Cleganebowl....but not because the Hound wants revenge, he's past that now.
It's to save Arya. He's her dog now.
Varys seems to have been just about written out of the show now- wondering whether he has any part to play in what's to come- considering the impact of his manipulation in the early days.
We've still three shows to go, I reckon there's going to be a few deaths by assassination and a fair bit of politics and skullduggery. Would be disappointed if a battle for Kings Landing is the highlight of what's to come.
I’m sure it’ll be good & I’ll watch it obviously, it does sound like more of the same tho tbh with a very similar plot.Have you seen that there is to be a Jane Goldman written spin-off to GoT?
The better/braver choice IMO would’ve been to tell a much bigger range of stories; they could’ve had each season telling a different story with different characters like in American Horror Stories. Even better, every episode is self-contained, with a couple of characters travelling around, meeting people who’ve been mentioned in the books but not seen, righting wrongs etc like a medieval A-team. [i]No-one[/i] makes telly like this anymore, it’s all got to be massive story arcs now etc. (GRRM has written a series of novellas where this happens so there’s both precedent and source material!)

Warning nerd content...
In the books, Ayra is all about wolves. she dreams about them, howls at them and they respond, she's a warg and can enter their minds, is linked with Nymeria...In an epilogue of one of the books (don't ask, can't remember) there's this strange stuff about how when wargs die, their souls enter their connected animals, In Ayra case that's running with her pack...
plus, y'know, Valar Morghulis
Varys seems to have been just about written out of the show now- wondering whether he has any part to play in what’s to come- considering the impact of his manipulation in the early days.
Was thinking that. I imagine he'll hotfoot it to the overseas bank and get them to switch sides so the Golden Company army is no longer available to Cersei. So it will come down to the Lannister forces and Euron (who will run away and be killed by Yara) vs the rest.

Don't hold your breath...
One episode of getting to KL, maybe some actual plot if lucky.
One episode of Eliminate Cersei.
One episode of snooze fest wrap up.
No-one makes telly like this anymore
Ben & Holly is exactly like that.
Arya takes Qyburns face
Question is, does the zombie mountain remain animated after Qyburn croaks?
Ben & Holly is exactly like that.
True, planning on a Ben & Holly binge to help get over the lack of GoT
like a medieval A-team. No-one makes telly like this anymore, it’s all got to be massive story arcs now etc.
I agree - I like 'monster of the week' shows too. I'm hoping that the new Judge Dredd Megacity show can do it, but I bet the big money men always insist on cliffhangers and big story arcs.
I preferred Fringe when it was monster of the week, same with X-Files.
Just rewatched this weeks episode for the 3rd time, in the scene were the NK is looking down on Bran, it switches to Jon hiding from the ice dragon and then to Wight who's hair moves like its blown in the wind, any thoughts on what moves his hair? the next clip is Ayra jumping and being caught, is it Ayra speeding past or a throw away clip?
Guy at work has an interesting theory that when Bran popped off to fly about a bit, he actually went off to make a deal with the NK. So that when they actually faced off, there was some sort of transference or handing over, hence the NK didn't mind being offed so easily by Arya. Means there's more NK antics to come.
is it Ayra speeding past or a throw away clip?
It’s Arya doing her ninja death leap.
First sign that she was even there because of, like, stealth and that as previously established in the library creeping scene
Yup Arya that's how I knew she was there.
It's details like that I spot in films and TV which is why you'll see me comment on a film being predictable.
I liked that the zombies stayed quiet because they were in the library
that is not a prediction, that is you noticing something which you are intended to see. I bet you're great at "predicting" the lottery too after you've seen what the numbers are 😂😂😂It’s details like that I spot in films and TV which is why you’ll see me comment on a film being predictable.
The real question is, why didn’t she just throw the Catspaw Dagger from her place of concealment.
She’d already demonstrated her super accurate blade throwing skills to Gendry using unbalanced dragonglass knives.

Errrrr! Exactly films and TV are full of them which allows you to predict what is going to happen. I'm not sure you've grasped what prediction means.
Night Kings reflexes too quick. Knew chucking the dagger wouldnt work

Makes you sound proper awesome innit
Wow ,Drac is a see everything three eyed raven 😉 🙂

No not really I can only speak for myself but I'm sure I won't be the only one.

3 eyed bat.
Well done to Drac for seeing it coming a second before it happened.
Meanwhile, on page 3 of this thread, a week ago, someone said this.....😉
she’s setting herself up for a stealth suicide mission to off the Night King.
A girl would like to kill the walking embodiment of a god of death.

If Arya takes a face, does she also take the body. Because Cersei might see through the jamie disguise given it's his body as much as his face that she's interested in.
Theon she might manage as long as word's not out yet?
How come the NK didn't crisp up when burnt by the dragon? Is he a Targaryen?
I thought that Aryra could only take the faces of those she killed? If so it would be great if she could turn up at Kings Landing as the NK.
How come the NK didn’t crisp up when burnt by the dragon? Is he a Targaryen?
The theory that Targaryens are immune to fire is somewhat undermined by the Tragedy at Summerhall during which King Aegon V Targaryen and Prince Duncan Targaryen both died.
In a fire.
Because he’s magic or something well was.
Arya will need a set of stilts to impersonate most other characters.
How come the NK didn’t crisp up when burnt by the dragon?
because; magic. See also: Battle of hardholme.

<p class="p1">Granny: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons?</p>
<p class="p1">George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE! The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle. She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.</p>
I'm going to have to watch this epic fight thingy. After the comments about Endgame's battle I'll be pleased to see how the pros do it.
Disclosure: I've only seen the first 2o minutes of the first episode of GoT Season 1. I was promised tits and dragons and got neither.
Fire ImmunityJust as with the White Walkers under his control, the Night King was immune to fire due to the extreme cold he radiated. During the Wight Hunt, he was seen walking through a wall of dragon fire unharmed, his mere presence causing it to flicker and go out. He was also completely unharmed by direct dragon fire, as he showed no signs of damage or weakness after being completely engulfed in Drogon's flames during the Battle of Ice and Fire.
Well thanks for mentioning End Game I'll cancel my tickets for later now. 😂
I'm hoping it'll be Ed Sheeran the Shyte King on the throne at the end - especially if the iron throne has it's swords sharpened.
Just watched it again and what they’ve done with the score, particularly in the final scenes, is utter genius!

Shoulda stuck it out for another 9 minutes and 44 seconds Eddie.
Drac. For being a non fan your very well versed in all things G.o.t 😉

It's that lack of commitment my exes always talk about. Or lack of staying power. They get conflated...
Anyway I am still waiting for Catelyn Stark to re-appear and also Arya's dire wolf to come along with its adopted pack.
Any other character due to re-appear?
Dragon fire doesn't work, reckon I would have told my dragon to eat him. Doubt he was teethproof.

Worst brain-freeze ever.
He'd have stuck the Dragon with his magic spear and then they'd have been really ****ed!!

Well in the books she is staggering around a bit worst for the wear John Snow style!
Not a super fan Plus One I enjoy it and recall some info. I had now idea why he was fireproof.
I've just watched episode 3, thought Vin Diesel might appear at the end and do some donuts. The hair wind was obviously from his exhaust.
