quote:I think Jon is our biggest hope for a shocking end even if it's just the stabbing. Cersei's scene will be a memorable moment but many may not see it is a game changer. It could be a bit better if Robert Strong makes his appearance though. I'm guessing Dany meets the khalasar? Most won't really care if so. Her big moment will be riding Drogon which may be the episode before or something. It doesn't seem like the battle for Winterfell will happen in this season, especially if it's just part of the episode. That will let a lot of people down.
Episode 10 (Mothers Mercy) description is: Stannis marches. Dany is surrounded by strangers. Cersei see eks forgiveness. Jon is challenged.
So obviously WoS for Queen Mother. Jon likely gets FtW'd but I think not resurrected (I just don't think they'll go that far past the books). War at Winterfell though?! The letter from Ramsey referred to it, but I think that part of his letter was BS in the book.
At this point, the big battle we were promised may be at Hardhome against some Others in the upcoming episode. You could also maybe count the fight in the pits as "big" because it includes a dragon.
