Judging by George's comments, I think Bryan Cogman's show was going to be based on The Dance of the Dragons
I know George is staunchly against the idea of a Robert's Rebellion adaption
of all the time periods to cover in a prequel show, Roberts rebellion would be near the bottom

It's probably just a bit of stone wall that looks like a face in the shot. I don't think they'd telegraph the presence of someone being there in a promo shot.

Err, there is someone behind on the left, which seems normal to me.
On the right it's clearly not a face.
Wish he took over as showrunner when D&D expressed a desire to rush to an end.
To make a successful prequel/sequel you need people who were key, and I mean really key. Otherwise it will do like many other big properties: everyone wants to hop in to make their name, nobody wants to take ownership, everyone is just happy to have a job, everyone will end up as a yes-man and no one will want to take the difficult decisions for fear or being blamed when problems arise. I have little faith in any future series.
Here's my final take on the NK going to KL. It doesn't make any sense because multiple plot threads are open that they'll just dump. Euron, Cleganebow, Bronn, Cersei's pregnancy, Jaime or Tyrion have to have some final interaction with their sister, etc

I feel like the Valanqar prophecy is saved for the final episode
What is this?
Can you write a sentence summary
Thanks
Preston Jacob's Game of Thrones episode watches are basically satirical nitpicky overviews of Game of Thrones's episodes from a book-reader point of view, he's been doing since season 5 I believe and they can be pretty funny.
I'm guessing that's Theon's group inside the castle next to the God's Wood where Bran is. I don't know who's on the other side though, but it looks like a Lion insignia.

That's it, wonder if both Jorah and Lyanna are there?

Nope, Jorah is with the Dothraki
The whole "don't use the dragons" thing? Yeah...
His body is pretty fresh, but I imagine that's not what it is if it's a promo shot.
Where are the Dothraki? I thought their numbers would be hugeI'm guessing that's Theon's group inside the castle next to the God's Wood where Bran is. I don't know who's on the other side though, but it looks like a Lion insignia.
They kept raping everyone so Dany left them back in the Reach.

I imagine unsullied and dothraki are under the dragon banner, then again it could be too cold for them.
They seem to be best used on horseback raiding, not defending
Imagine if Aegon takes the throne, marries Sansa, and Sansa is like "I'd like to have ser Brienne as king's guard", and Aegon is like "Oh, sure dear, I'm ok with women being knights, I'm different. Ser Brienne, may I ask, who knighted you?"

Well damn, talk about wasting units. Danny is basically sending them all to their deaths before anyone else
The Dothraki do have huge numbers. Easily many 10s of thousands but the army of the dead is probably many hundreds of thousands.
Yeah but if you kill the leader, all the ice zombie people the leader arose will die. Seems easy enough for Arya to solid snake the shit out of Night King's army.
Not really. They're the best fighters and on horseback.
Ramsay's plan was to fire arrows at the enemy until he decimated their numbers.
Tyrion's plan was to burn Stannis' ships so that he decimated their numbers.
Jon rained flaming arrows and knocked climbers off the wall when the wildlings attacked Castle Black.
Our plan this time? Advance on the dead-raising zombie army with a full cavalry charge and burn them after we start losing, hope the Night King challenges Jon to a fight and he can kill him.

How many relentless monsters do you think they can take out with a cavalry charge? These things fight without limbs and you're giving them free horses.
I think the plan is to get to the WW commanders on horses and kill them first so the wights die.
You don't send your best fighters and calvary out first. They shouldn't even be outside the walls.
I dont think they even said their plan of defense/attack other than just to lure out the night king to bran. remember bran taking over the conversation and then everyone just nodding? correct me if im wrong.
They said they are trying to hold out as long as possible. They shouldn't be taking any sort of offensive posture.
yeah, i dont expect them to attack and all of the preparations showed us traps, blockades and etc for a defensive measure. commenting on the person i quoted because i dont remember them at all saying they will charge their army.. at all.
Any plan that isn't "AVOID FIGHTING THESE THINGS DIRECTLY FOR AS LONG AS WE POSSIBLY CAN" is one doomed to failure.
From the pictures, Dany and Jon are just watching the battle for a portion of, presumably letting part of their army become undead?
Not a fan of this one.
Feels like he's really stretching and ignoring things just to complain.
There shouldn't be men outside of Winterfell.
Every single dragonglass weapon should be a flaming spear and they should be hurled from under heavy cover, not giving a single soldier to the Night King until he either burns down Winterfell on Viserion or climbs the battlements.
The Lannister army does this in season 7, episode 7. They close the gates and plan to burn as much of Dany's army as they can. It's the right plan.
They appear to have the Dothraki out front but they could be moving out for some kind of attacks on the flanks. It's after 9 EST now so 4 days left to find out lol.

Why would you put the horses in front where they'd be extremely vulnerable to archers.
Footsoldiers that are well protected with armor/shields in front, archers behind them and the horses to the side for use of flanking around the enemy.
Right, classic tactics. I wonder what tactics the NK will employ if any. Dire bear shield wall?
What was the reasoning again for not using the Dragons? I mean they could literally fly over, burn the WW commanders and decimate the bulk of wights in one go?
