Oh I forgot another in universe reason will be dorne hating dany for blaming her for quentyn

I think the ease of Yara's rescue make sense. Euron was preoccupied with Cersie and no one would expect Theon to step up and try a rescue attempt. Plus, she isn't really a major target outside the Ironborn world.Aside from needlessly long dragon riding scene and Theon's super easy rescue of Asha, it was a solid episode.
The earned reunions outwayed the more fan-fictiony parts.
Oh boy, GoT was gone for too long and I'm too damn tired after work. lol
No worries gotta little book memory rush, I was like. Asha - now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time obiwan.gifOh boy, GoT was gone for too long and I'm too damn tired after work. lol
Yeah the whole sansa is now a genius super brain is a bit hard to swallow given all the Arya/LF nonsense from last season.
It probable that Bran didn't have a complete assessment of LF for a good while. He explained in that season that he needed to "get better at seeing" and that things were still fragmented.
In the books got 10 plotlines locations
dany
Young griff
Dorne
Kings landing
The riverlands
The vale
The iron islands
The north
And the wall and beyond
And arya
Now 5 of those I think will converge
Young griff will kill cersia and tommonlen and defeat lannister rule of kings landing
Dorne will support
S ansa will marry him and little finger will become hand to think king after Jon conington dies.
Brienne will die in the river lands, to save Jaime, Jaime will return to kings landing, kill Cersei, then go to the wall and become the 1000th and final lord commander
Stannis beats the boltons will either die to the other or to dany
Dany will have 2 villians before the other, young griff and euron
No idea how arya will factor besides killing lady stone heart.
Didn't the last season end with a truce/peace between Cersei and the rest? They aren't going to hurt Jaime
The direwolves are literally siblings.
I think little finger and varys in-fighting under him will be what takes him downNo. Some of there are good theories with lots evidence but some of these are just things you want to happen rather than anything with substantial backing like Sansa marrying "Aegon" or Brienne dying in the Riverlands or Jaime becoming LC.
(Also Martin isn't even subtle about Arianne and "Aegon" hooking up. People just want Littlefinger to team up with Varys)
Jamie will do it to complete the Kingslayer, Kinslayer, Queenslayer title set.
I don't like wolves that start civil wars and burn people with dragonfire thank you.
never stopped anyone in Westeros before!
...............Enjoy.

Remember, Lyanna is the only female crypt in the Tombs of Winterfell.
She went East to prepare to die when the time comesCan someone remind me what happened to Mellisandre in the show because I can't remember where she is.
She got exiled after Jon finds out she burned Stannis' daughterCan someone remind me what happened to Mellisandre in the show because I can't remember where she is.

She brought Jon and Dany together last season. She kept her distance though, watching Jon from a cliff. Then she went back... across the sea? I think? She said she'd return to "die in this strange land."She got exiled after Jon finds out she burned Stannis' daughter

Season 4she went to Volantis
she will be back next episode or the following probably
Newsflash: all of the Starks are dumb (Bran in his 3ER form being the sole exception). I have 7 seasons of TV and 5 books to use as references if need be. They're dumb asses: Ned, Cat, Robb, Jon, Arya, Sansa- they are/were literally walking mistake factories.
Did Jorah and Lyanna Mormont ever talk in the series? I expected at least some acknowledgement to happen this episode.
Having them march past Winterfell and completely wreck King's Landing and Cersei before turning around for the finale would actually make it a lot more satisfying I feel.

I've been saying it since season 7: they're setting Dany up to fall. The comments she makes during this episode really brought that home for me. Whining about how she's the queen, hinting she might punish Sansa... With Sam's revelations to Jon, we see a big fissure forming there. Once the threats of the dead and Cersei are dealt with, that rift will widen.Interviewer: Outside of Jon's status as the heir to the Iron Throne, and outside of the fact that Sam does not believe in Daenerys' worthiness as a leader, why do you feel Sam believes Jon is the right person to govern Westeros?
John Bradley(Sam's actor):Aside from those two things, which are very important, I think you can look at it from a purely romantic point of view, if you like. Sam knows Jon really well. He knows his heart is in the right place. He knows he does things for the right reasons. He has a very strict moral code that he adheres to as much as he can. Sometimes he makes hard decisions. He never takes any decision lightly. He tries to do everything for the right reasons. That's the romantic view. If you want a more cynical version, of what's under the surface? Sam always has had a habit of manipulating Jon. He's manipulated him on so many other occasions. The reason he manipulates him in the past is to keep Gilly and Baby Sam safe. He manipulated him to be the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch because that was the best chance of getting Gilly and Baby Sam out of Castle Black and into the Citadel. If Jon is in a position of power, he thinks he can work on Jon to make as safe a life as possible for the people he cares the most about in the world. It's a little cynical, but I do think Sam is so hyper-intelligent and calculated that any plot he can scheme and any route he can take to keep Gilly and Baby Sam safe, he's going to do it. If Jon is in a position of power, then he can grease those wheels more easily. Those are two ways of looking at it. Take your pick!
Sam believes in Jon Snow. Jon Snow believes in Daenerys. Can Sam ever get on board with Jon's vision, or in his mind, has Daenerys crossed a line she can never come back from?
In terms of Sam telling Jon about his true claim to the throne, I think it was hurried along by what Daenerys told him. I think he definitely sees Daenerys as unstable, as a volatile character, as somebody who is determined to succeed without a real moral compass. She'll kill people for a minor act of disobedience. I think Sam is very wary of her now and sees how dangerous she can be — not just for Jon Snow, but also in terms of the entire Seven Kingdoms. We could have a Mad Queen here. Sam knows enough about history to know what people who are slightly unhinged and slightly unbalanced are like when they're in charge, and the damage they can cause. Sam has learned from the mistakes of history. He's never going to come around to Daenerys. He's too wise for that. He's too wary and suspicious of her now. If she's going to be incredibly destructive and volatile, then she could get the Seven Kingdoms into a worse position if she continues to be unyielding, impulsive and so violent. If she's going to continue dealing with things in such a violent way, then he can only see dark days ahead if she's on the throne. His desire to tell Jon about his claim to the Iron Throne is all but informed by his desire to make sure some of those dark days of the Mad King and the past reigns of imbalance never continue into the future. Sam has an agenda now. He definitely has an agenda.

Daaaaamn. These are some harsh words.
They're gonna get the shit kicked out of them at Winterfell. They're not ready, they're fighting with each other, they're not gonna be able to handle that ice dragon. Expect most of the ancillary characters, the ones that don't really have large story components left, to die. Tormund, Jorah, Berric, Edd, Varys, possibly one of the Lannister brothers, maybe even Sansa would be a candidate, although that'd be fucked at this point — not that I'd put it past them. And if they take Davos from us, ugh. Hound's safe because DnD are 100% in on Cleganebowl.I feel like this is going to feel so rushed with just 5 episodes left.
Like are they just going to have the army of the dead resolved within 2-3 episodes?

But yeah, expect extreme thread trimming and Bran to pull a rabbit out of a hat when he learns something super important during the battle of Winterfell so that they can get to the Night King and end it in a single stroke. The Cersei and Kings Landing stuff will get resolved during the retreat south and before the final showdown. Maybe they hold on Cersei herself getting done in until afterwards for a clean epilogue
That would be hilarious, but I'm expecting him to go one step too far with Cersei in some way and get a gruesome death at the hands of the Mountain. Yara's scene felt like a wrap for her so I'm not expecting any direct resolution to that family squabble, and giving a faction leader a sudden, impactful death and then writing out the entire faction is right in the late-show's wheelhouse. See: Dorne, Highgarden.Watch Euron oust Cersei from power before any of them get there and then Euron turns into the final villain. Saruman to the Night King's Sauron.
Best thing Jamie has ever done and you wanna take it away from him.
No. Lyanna Mormont wasn't even cast until season 6 and Jorah was in Essos in season 6 and on Dragonstone in season 7.
No?
She was probably born while Jorah was in exile, so this should be the first time they meet
