He's done more for winning the war than most. If not for him they'd all already be dead. Along with figuring out how to remove scales, and retaining all that knowledge. He might be my favorite character.

We learned about Brandon's wall in the show's pilot. Would be a pretty goofy asspull to be learning about a 1,000 mile tunnel from WF to KL in episode 70. Any tunnel running that distance would have to have multiple entry/exit points between WF and KL, or there wouldn't be enough breathable air down there. Somebody would have discovered such a thing by now.
Why would a bank give a loan to the north of that size when they have next to no chance of paying that loan back.
I mean if your the iron bank worst case scenario everyone's dead and you have no way of getting your money back . Best case scenario north wins and whoever sits on the iron throne pays u back. Problem here being the person on the throne is Cersei.
Also most sellswords would be worth fuck all in a fight like that.
Can't wait for the next episode and all the chaos it shall bring!
Who do we all think is going to die next episode? Considering what happened with Arya and Gendry last episode I think he's going to die.

Did you miss the part waayyyyyy back when Balon had Theon go to the stony shores? Also took a single episode, mate.
This is a TV show. Not a book.
I'm sure there's more to the Three-Eyed Raven/Night King rivalry than that.
There's too much "they can't get over water" and "Yara's taken back the Iron Islands" hints that they're definitely going to have to retreat there for safety at some point. And notice the march of the ice tiles is moving southward with each new episode. I doubt that stops after next week's episode. The battle at Winterfell is going to be a disaster.
Watch the NK be different from normal White Walkers, and just shrug her staff attacks, and we get a throwback (they seem to like doing these) to this scene:
He didn't just have his daughter killed, he had her burned alive and fucking watched it.
Nah bro, for me the series has gotten better and better over time. Best TV imaginable
Prediction for who dies in Episode 3:
Brienne - it was telegraphed unfortunately:-(
The 3 Eyed Raven (3ER) - I think he'll kill the Night's King, but won't survive the encounter. I just hope that Bran doesn't die with him.
Theon - this was also telegraphed
Beric - if Mellisandre doesn't return he will definitely be a sacrificial lamb
Jorah - He'll die to protect one of Dany, Sam, or Lyanna.
Drogon - the ice dragon won't go down without casualties, Drogo will take him down with some help, but die in the process.

"garbage as expected"
Some of these drive by takes man I swear lol
Bran is also likely the only person who actually knows how to kill the NK
It doesn't matter. It needs consistency. Him getting there BEFORE the white walkers makes this show worse.
All the dialogues from this episode feels like something from a telenovela from my country. I hate the direction this show is going, full of fanservice and everyone being friends and shit. And it's going like this since the end of the last season.
Good for you.
Well they don't have to tell them it's to fight the white walkers :) They could say they need 100,000 men to fight Cersi, then boom hey guess what you are fighting the dead!
it's a wight dragon not an ice dragon
It still breathes fire
ice drag9ns in grrm work like breath ice beam like the Pokemon move

I'm growing to hate the term "fanservice" and how it's mis-used.
Payoffs to character arcs/plot points is not fan service
I mean what sort of closure would we get? It's very heavily implied that the lord of light or god or whatever thinks Beric needs to be apart of this and thus keeps bringing him back to life and gave him the power of fire buffs. It would feel really weird to get further exposition about it.
Yep, he wants the NK to come after him for a reason. He knows it's bait he won't turn down and he wouldn't just offer himself up if he didn't know how to kill him.
It is when it feels forced by the directors. It feels artificial and the delivery by the actors is always boring, even though I'm certain it's not a problem with them, just the shitty script they have to use.
Someone should tell Jorah that if he kills enough White Walkers, Dany will finally date him.
Problem solved.
I think Beric's going to bite the dust. If they really want the Lord of Light to be a major part of the conclusion to the story, I think Melisandre will be the one to reveal it (or explain it after it happens). I don't think we've seen the last of her.
He didn't just burn his daughter alive and fucking watch it, but he led his wife to suicide and then led an army of men to their deaths for his own pride and honor.
Stannis is literally one of the worst characters in the show. He indirectly led to Ned Stark's death by making his own claim to the throne and killed Renly who was probably the best option for King in the history of the show. And Renly's death led directly to Robb's death as well. I don't care what anyone says. That fucker can rot. The only worthwhile thing he did in the history of the series is save Jon's ass. That's it.
There is support that the wall is actually a stone wall at the bottom, and that is what was built. It was imbued with magic, and as the "magic" of the NK flows south but is blocked by the magic it built up into this big ice wall.
definitely feels a bit like Doctor Strange in Infinity War. He knows there's one way to win and even if he dies (at least temporarily) they have to do it.
Night King has always been slow. Guy took 7 years north of the wall to really do anything.
Granted, he need a dragon to get out of the wall, but still. He always moved slowly.

Yup, Stannis is a piece of shit (at least in the show, idk about the books)
Yeah, this. The NK has been marching south since like Season 4 or something like that. Jon's been figuratively run laps around them.
The 3ER can only see the past/present, as far as we can tell, yeah?
I don't think Bran knows for sure how to kill the NK, as it has never happened before. He has some theories about things yet untried (his response to dragon's fire), but he's still taking a risk

I get what they're trying to do, but the episode is at least 25 minutes too long and again, nothing happens. Like 95% of the dialogue is stuff we already know and a lot of the conversations came across as filler. I'm sure a lot of this will pay off in the next episode but again, that's next episode. This episode was boring af.
Believe it or not he is just as big a piece of shit in the books as he is in the show. Stannis fucked the whole 7 kingdoms with his BS.
This may turn out to be completely different that I thought it would go down.. I was 90+% sure Jon would kill the NK, now maybe its some Bran-only level skill that can defeat him.. So we thinking there will be a battle at Winterfell next week where half the cast dies and then moves on KL, or will the NK go to KL first?
I have never seen so much truth laid out like this in awhile. Fuck Stannis. The only reason his scenes were any good was due completely to hype master Davos. The scene at Braavos just solidified how much of a loser Stannis was.
I feel like the whole "Yara going to retake the Iron Islands" thing has to be more than a way to write out Yara for the rest of the series. Part of me wouldn't be surprised if Tyrion convinces Jon to retreat from Winterfell and let the Night King march on Cersei and Kings Landing. Then maybe try to pincer-attack the army of the dead and trap the Night King somehow.
The fuck is going on with this Arya stuff all over the internet? Did i miss something? Why are people weird about it?
The show is full of sex scenes, the actress is 22. Is it just because we saw her "grow up" on the show that its weird or something? I really dont follow?

Episode 2 was amazing. So many great teary moments. The hell.
Nah
Show Stannis is a completely different character
There wouldn't be a Seven Kingdoms if he let the wildlings destroy the NW
OP

If their goal is to kill the NK and the NK alone, trapping him is probably the best option since his army is already broken-tier in terms of size.
I loved that episode. They're about to break a lot of peoples hearts, so they gave us a final farewell to so many character we've spent 8 years with. I thought it was terrific. Next week is going to be fucking depressing but amazing.
