I think someone major will die in a shocking moment and he'll kiss them back to life.
That girl already figured out how to kill everyone at that table and how much poison she needs to stuff into a sheep to kill a dragon.
I love how casual it is when he does it now.
He's by far the most fantasy-ass character in the show with that, his overall look and even his way of speaking. Just a total badass.
He has even come back from death multiple times like the damn chosen undead
Keeping the episode titles a secret until after the episode airs is dumb. Like, tonight's episode was titled "Winterfell" - what would have changed if we knew that 2 months ago? Literally nothing.
This rivalry between Dany and Sansa is shaping to be a real wildcard. They really do look like they detest each other. Littlefinger's political scheming has well and truly rubbed off on Sansa, whether she knows it or not. Cersei bribing Bronn to kill Tyrion and Jaime is also interesting, though I doubt he's gonna go through with it.
Speaking of Cersei, her prostituting herself to Euron is probably not gonna sit well with some, although it totally fits into her characters mould. I suspect Yara taking off to the Iron Isles is the last we'll see of her. It seems like a decent enough way to tie off that string. This is just a prediction but Theon is totally dying a heroic death in the North as a sort of massive redemption story for his whole arc.
I'm interested to see if knowledge of his true lineage is going to fire up Jon's personal ambitions. It would be out of character, but if Sansa and Arya find out, they'll definitely be pushing him to challenge Dany's claim. If Dany pushes back, which is likely, I think the in-fighting of the "living" side strongly hints at the Night King winning the whole thing. Again, just a prediction though.
Overall a pretty good opening episode.

other titles might be more "spoilery" so they maybe just don't want anyone to get their hands on them early.
Oh yeah Sansa is a fucking idiot and all that bullshit in the episode was tiring. Mate there's fucking ancient zombies descending on you and all you care about is KING IN DA NORF
Yeah, at first i was like "whoa, nothing's really happened, and we're 1/6 into the season already".
Though, then again, pretty much most of last season's revelations and secrets have been communicated among the characters. Like:
* The Northerners kinda know that Cersei is not coming to help
* Jon knows about his past
* Sam knows about his family
* They know the wall's gone down
Like, i'm with Bran being all like "Ain't nobody got time for this..."
Now if only they can quickly get rid of all that infighting amongst the Northerners ...

He's gonna go with it after the war when everyone is kneeling before him.
Like what happened when he became Lord Commander, then King in the North
Ned was preparing for battle and needed all the help he could get too. So he asked Littlefinger....
It didn't work out so well for him
He's going to realize when Dany throws a tantrum next episode and leaves Winterfell with her dragons that she isn't a good ruler. That he must do what is required of him.
"I wanted elephants"
"Sorry m'lady, CGI budget came too short"
That goat in the end of the episode was definitely CGI right ?
Jaime Lannister with a beard is what I want to be most in life.
Did this episode pull 4 separate, sudden pan/focus to mysterious bran states? It felt so ridiculous

Right like why can't bran be cool. Dude just stares and says some creepy shit!! I'd like the kid if he could like control animals in battle and is some dope ass beast master!
Another thing I'm purely speculating about, Cersei is clearly barely hanging on to her already precarious mental state. She sees the Undead invasion as a good thing for her when it definitely isn't, and she has ratified Bronn knocking off her brothers including Jaime who she loves/loved. Her miscarrying her baby might be the catalyst for her finally going right off the edge.
Cersei bribing Bronn was just silly. What is his response? "First off, you already owe me at least one castle. Second off, they're the only Lannisters I like." I could not think of a worse possible assassin then someone who is not only a friend, but someone who owes their fortune and success, to the people you've asked them to kill. That's a stupid fucking plan any way you look at it.
Probably, but I can see the logic from her perspective. She assumes that since both Tyrion and Jaime trust Bronn, that allows him to get in real close to knock them off. But yeah I'm with you, I can't see him doing it. He has the gold already, he can just head north and wait out the war, because in his shoes you would have to be thinking that Cersei is done for anyway.
I mean, Jon's entire arc has been him being forced into being a leader when he doesn't want to be.
Kept her dog on it's leash for the time being and gave her a king to point to as the father of her child.
The lack of dire wolves makes me wish they just kept them as dogs instead of making them giant CGI wolves. I get it, they're dire wolves and are supposed to be massive, but I miss them
I don't think we'll get another Jon/ Dany sex scene. I thought for sure there would be one after they make up. You know, to "shock" the audience and gross them out again. But now I'm not so sure. This season just gives off the vibe that they don't want to do sex scenes. I'm mean they didn't even show cersei/ euruon. Actors are probably done with nudity and sex
That's a damn good match!
Who takes the title for dirtiest, greediest, anti-swashbuckling mofo?

Looking really forward to Sapcohniks episodes, especially the batle episode (I assume episode 3?). His directing is just bangers. Battle of the Bastards may not be the best written episode in the show, but the directing is a masterpiece.
Fun fact: The shield wall (when they were trapped) was Sapochniks idea, D&D had another idea, but Sapochnik didn't have enough time, so they trusted him and he went with the shield wall, not sure if Jon being trampled was also his idea. Can't wait to see what he has come up with this time with many more weeks of shooting compared to BotB.

Sam's relationship with his brother was fine. Also, Dany told them to bend the knee or die. She's kinda murdering prisoners of war.
Really? That scene with Bronn and the prostitutes was pretty full on
Also side note, massive respect to Dany for being upfront with Samwell about his father and brother. She could have just kept her mouth shut and noone would have batted an eye, but she told him straight to his face, probably to her own detriment in the long run.
Yup. He's her "beard" King. Once the Iron Fleet isn't needed anymore because the Golden company is stationed on Westeros, she can have him killed any time she wants. From a strategic point of view, he's kind of a glorified Uber driver, basically.
Yeah, i'm not a fan of this Chekhov's Crossbow ... Also, Bronn mostly looks out for himself - and i believe he's smart enough to know that a castle won't do no good on a continent overrun by the dead.
The money, on the other hand, would be really helpful when moving to Essos for retirement.
This. She didn't kill them in battle. She brutally executed them because they didn't want to bend the knee.
Jon didn't bend the knee initially, and he gets to ride freaking Dragons with her.
She is killing people who were trying to kill her and her dragons just second before.
Bending the knee would still make them prisoners - they refusing means that they are still opposing her...of course they are gonna get killed. We have been in a non-stop war for most of this show and people wanna paint Dany as some kind of crazy savage after events like the Red Wedding. Ramsey and co. ?
Sams relationship with his brother means its okay for him to be sad, pissed and all - but blaming Dany and trying to to mess up the Jon x Dany alliance that will likely save the day for it seems weird. His brother/father dont survive the encounter against 99% of rulers after that battle if they dont bend the knee. They just betrayed their liege lords...do people really think anyone would trust them if they didnt bend the knee ? Doesnt make any sense.
They chose death.
And so am I. They used nudity to hold peoples attentions during exposition so often that nudity became boring in this show. We are living in a world where porn is always one click away, I never understood why nude actors were such a big deal in the first place.
Nudity for the sake of nudity is getting a bit tiresome. If it makes sense to the story or is a key plot component, sure but I don't need tits and asses to keep me interested in a show about dragons, political intrigue, magic, battles etc
what if Jon gets flamed by the ice dragon but at the last minute wargs into Rhaegal and lives on by Dany's side as her dragon son/nephew/lover
I think its more like, Bronn no longer has any allies and Cersei isn't someone you just cross
Is anyone else slighty dissapointed with NK's 'message'? When leaks came out the night king will leave a message for the living I was thinking more along lines of an literal message explaining his motivation (even if it just a name scribbeled on a wall) not this display of 'art' as it turned out to be.
