    I think I'm missing a lot of what's going on, largely because I've never rewatched an episode and I've had no recap since the last season, but I have Alex right on this one.

    I got round to watching this tonight. I thought the episodes were meant to be longer this season?

    That was really good. Quite a few quotable moments that made you remember why you cared about these characters in the first place.

    I thought that was a very good episode. Despite not a lot progressing in terms of plot, there was so much wrapped up that meant literally anyone could die next week.

    But you were fine with her slitting peoples throats and serving a pie to a man made from the flesh of his children?

    I always find the sitting around dreading battle episodes a lot more interesting than the battles themselves. There have been a few really good ones, one way back when we first met Charles Dance, then another one in King's Landing, and this was another.

    Apparently there was a huge spike in people Googling how old Maisie Williams was last night, which is all that needs said about how awkward that whole interlude was.

    The Tormund actor is a genius.

    Pretty much an episode of giving everyone a 'one day from retirement' type speech so we can be sad when they die, but with much better writing than usual. The show is just better when the secondary characters get to meet up and shoot the shit.


    And yeah, that crypt got mentioned suspiciously often. Can Zombie King just raise any dead folks or do they have to be ones he's freshly killed?

    I googled both her age and the characters age.

    If it turns out they can just raise anyone and we wind up with Ned Bean pitching up to eat the children they'll have turned everyone on the show into complete divs for no one having thought of that.

    Tyrion protesting that he can fight too and reminding everyone of the fights he's been in then being told he's going in the Crypt suggests they're almost certainly heading that direction though, which will be hilarious. It'll also be funny if after having built him up so much the Night King is essentially dealt with in one episode, which he'll have to be for the Cersei shit to have any meaning at all.

    I bet they wish they didn't spin their wheels quite so much in the middle seasons now.

    He's not exactly been hurrying south has he, I'm sure there's time for another sit down and game of boggle for a couple of episodes while we watch Cersei be a bitch in King's Landing.

    That was pretty good, in a "let's let all the actors chew the scenery one last time before we kill half of them off" sort of way.

    The two best bits, by a distance, were Tormund telling everyone how he got his name and Lyanna Mormont mugging Jorah off for telling her to go wait in the crypt where it's (quite clearly not) going to be "safe". I had sort of forgotten they were from the same house, so the thought of the two of them meeting had never really occurred to me for some reason.

    Theory: Dany is now so desperate for power that when she sees that the living are losing the battle, she goes over and gets walkered with the promise that she can be the Night King's Night Queen.

    Jon ends up killing her.

    EDIT: Also I don't really see the big deal with the Maisie Williams' sex scene. It's just nudity; she was a kid when it started but she grew up.

    Surely the snow zombies are ultimately winning (though there will be escapees, obviously) the battle next week? Because as has been said, if they get defeated at this stage then what was the fucking point.

    Also am I right in saying that during that whole 'let's talk about this battle bit' nobody mentioned the dragons (either goodie dragons or ice dragon) even sodding once?

    Really good episode on the whole though. Dragonwoman continues to be absolutely insufferable but everybody else was good.

    Why does this 'she's a good woman' shit persist? She's been a vicious thundercunt for a series and a bit now, and Tyrion and Johnny 2 names are bright enough to see it.

    They were brought up at the tactics thing when someone asked Brann if the Night King is affected by fire and he said no one had ever tried.

    Yeah but I'd have thought "We could murder a load of cunts with dragon assaults" or "Holy shit what if their dragon murders a load of our cunts?" might have come up.

    She's a fucking nightmare. She's little better than Cersei and when she flips her lid she's got a couple of WMDs that think she's their mum.

    I’ve maintained for years, to the derision of all my friends, that Arya is the hottest one in the entire show.

    The actress is my age before anyone starts with that

    Also of all the people who may be in with a shout of carking it I've put Brienne at the top of my list given how happy she was in her knighthood scene.

    Theon and Brienne are certain goners for next episode. Tyrion and Arya are outside bets with a shot.

    That this has come three episodes in makes me think it will all proceed rather conventionally from here. They will just about beat the Jocks (probably lose a dragon doing so), but then the Golden Company will turn face to stop the knobheads finishing them off.

    It’s pretty obvious they’ll lose Winterfell next episode, the survivors retreat to King’s Landing, endure a reckoning with Cersei, and then stave them off there and eventually retake Winterfell

    By my measure, there's 6 left, 4 of which are double episodes(?) So, say 10 hours? In that time they need to sort out the Whites (don't we all?), have some kind of show down between 'John and Dany' and sort Cersei out. They really should get motoring.

    “Doubles” seemingly means 80 minutes as opposed to just under 60, but there are essentially 3 of those (78,80 and 80 for the last 3).

    It will be pretty lol if they polish the zombies off in an hour and they were just a means to an end - getting Team Boring together - all along.

    If it does then it presumably means that in the books that are now probably never getting written Big George had plans for them to spend even more time farting about doing fuck all.

    I don't know what Cersei is playing at. Does she just think the zombies are overrated or what? Bit of a gamble.

    Good episode that - loved the awkward side boob and all.

    Surely this battle can't end in one episode like every other and it spans a few with some secret weapon being unleashed (like Bran running over the white walkers in his Wheely).

    I like the Blond bore turning evil dead. That would be brilliant.

    What happened to the Melisandre by the way? I remember her turning into some old thing a while ago but nothing after that. I didn't remember any of the Gendry rape stuff either tbf.

    I can't understand why anyone would be googling it. Given they were allowed to do that scene she has to be over 18 which is surely all that's relevant.

    I'm having a nightmare remembering half of this shit. It took me a while to remember why Theon and Sansa were all cosy together. How I managed to forget Ramsay is beyond me.

    I saw a tweet the other week that said something like 'Isn't it weird that we've all dedicated 7 seasons to this show where we can only name half the characters in any one scene'

    It took me ages to realise that fat kid was Podrick from about 4 years ago.

    I'm slightly worried that they wouldn't be setting up the storylines of Moron, Boron and Hardon Greyjoy unless the Iron Islands/their ships don't have a crucial role to play at some point. We've got this far and I still don't know why any of them are in the plot.

    I think my main issue is that I've watched it all exactly once. If it doesn't 'Lost' me, I may start the thing from scratch when it all finishes. I will have missed so much of the main storyline, nevermind the subtext.

    She was banished by Jon and then had that talk with Varys that she'd return because they were both destined to "die in this land". So I'm sure she'll show up with the Riders of Rohan in the next episode, donning all white.

    The one scene that really puzzles me at the moment is Bronn getting the crossbow. Yeah, sure, the Iron Islands might get a pay-off, but that one really should get one, I just can't for the life of me figure out how it could play out. Is he pissed at either Tyrion or Jaime?
