I think we need a thread to talk about the end of this epic series!
One down, five more to go. Off to a good start. I've been talking smack for two years because I couldn't see how they wrap it all up in six episodes, yet maybe they can do just that.
Bran might now be the creepiest character on the show.
I can't wait for the ending, it's only taken eight years.

Cersei is the worst villain for the entire series. We may have thought it was Joffrey or Ramsey, but it's Cersei. I hope she never gets to have her baby.

I'm going to wait until the series is done to watch them, waiting a week drives me crazy. On the other hand it doesn't effect me to see spoilers.

I can certainly see why some would pick Cersei as the biggest villain. Especially after see orders her brothers dead if they survive. She has tons of people killed that's for sure. Yet for me it's still Ramsey. He kills a ton of people and he does it himself. He skins people alive, feeds people to his dogs, he just enjoys killing. It's sport to him, where Cersei kills for power and revenge, which frankly most people in that show do. She also has other people do her dirty work, Ramsey killed his own father after he made him a Bolton and his true heir and gave him a Stark wife so his rule would be legit. Like no way Cersei could kill her father or Jamie herself. Just my two cents.
Waiting a week isn't bad, been waiting two years for six episodes. Game of thrones might be the one show I really enjoy watching weekly. So much to digest, they don't drag out the series and skip weeks. You also can't go anywhere without people talking about it, Yahoo has 15 articles on it at all times and my brother won't stop texting me about it. In the US right now if you haven't watched it, it's like you missed the biggest event in a while. Heck this last season might be the biggest TV event in my lifetime.

Well that was a worthless episode.😭 I love the show so much it is hard for me to criticize it, but this episode was a lot of build up and not much action. The story didn't move all that much but it looks like next week should be filled with tons of action. |

It wasn't bad, just with so few episodes it was rather surprising. Nothing happened and no action, no finishing up story lines. We haven't seen an episode like this since season six.
The truth about Snow came out the last minute and Sansa all of a sudden seems mad in love with Theon which was a huge surprise. Next episode everything will change and I can't wait. I just hope they don't do anymore things like the Battle of High garden which they showed nothing, yet a full episode getting ready for the Battle of Winterfell.

What will Daenerys do with that information? We're going to see her true colors within the first 15 minutes of the next episode. I think it was a perfect build-up episode because the non-stop action and fighting will probably be most of what is left of the series.
Part of me thinks Daenerys would just take her dragons and leave, but that wouldn't make the show that interesting.

That's the million dollar question. She's in love with his Cousin and as she said she knows nothing but taking back what she sees as her birth right the iron throne. Yet that is now gone. It could go 15 different ways and almost nothing would surprise me at this point.
Also why the hell do they keep placing armies outside the walls of a castle and fighting battles that way? In that time period that is not what they did. You use the Castle to your advantage. Archers alone could kill thousands and thousands before they even reach the gates.
It's one thing that has drove me crazy all the way back to the blackwater bay battle. Where they just kept leaving the castle to fight them in the open. Then River run the Blackfish with a handful of men says he can last two years in his castle, yet High Garden seems to fall in one day. They got the gold in a fortnight for the iron bank. They build those massive castles so that can't happen.

one sequence I liked was in season 6, ep 4. The khals are discussing Iggo and Akho (killed by Daario and Jorah). Khal Moro closes it with "Aggo belonged to my khalasar. He served me well. He got his head smashed in by a rock. Fuck Aggo."
however it was meant, that's what life was up until recently.

Am I the only one that wants the King Slayer to put on some type of dagger where his hand used to be?
Bronn is awesome and he better not kill either brother because I don't want to hate him!
Going to say Ayra and Gentry survive, uniting the two house like the two father's always wanted. They then take Kings Landing, two great houses just like before. The Hound has to survive right? We have to get him battling his brother right?
It's going to be epic, but yeah a lot of great characters are going to die. Three straight days of the draft, then GOTs. It doesn't get much better!

It is intriguing to think who will survive and who will die in the war with the dead, GOT is always good for a surprise. The skeletons coming to life is a great call in that regard. |

The smartest thing I did was to watch all of the seasons over again this winter. So many little things that bring it all together after seeing it all once, the second time around it comes together. Binge watching 7 seasons helps also.
In regards to Daenerys and how she reacts to the news about Jon. She did admit to loving him and fighting this war for him when bonding with Sansa, but can she put aside her ambition?
Yup UMASS, the draft then GOT but don't forget the teams in the playoffs also. B's need to win this game 7. I really believe they can win a cup with the 2 top seeds already losing. Three championships in a year would be ridiculous!

And with each whitewalker you kill each of their dead die with them so.. |

That's how they lost one of them. edit- I also have decided that I think Daenerys is going to kill Jon. |

Not sure how to be careful with the dragons but if you have them don't you need to use them? I mean.... they could partially wipe out the enemy before they get to Winterfell.
This sundays episode could be the best yet.

I expected this episode to go about like it did. It tried to tie up as many loose ends as possible before next week's blood bath. I just hope next week doesn't disappoint.

She's been talking way too much sh*t to Sansa and we all know you can't beat stepsister action when it comes to incest shenanigans, so Jon is not going to take it. He's totally killing her. The one sure thing for this episode is the zombie dragon blowing frozen breath on Jon and him taking it like a gangster. Just like Dany can't burn, he can't freeze. It's going to be corny and stupid and I'll love it. |

Ok, my girlfriend said this one. What if Samwell Tarly is simply embellishing a story that he's telling his grandchildren? He's the first one to kill a white walker? Suuuure.

In the end, they will kill that tree of life thing to kill all magic, which will kill all of the dead, the dragons, and everyone who has been resurrected.
