I'm looking to bran warging into a dragon. They keep saying he'll never walk again but he'll fly. If it's anything other than as a dragon that's a huge let down.

---

Has he warged into anything on the show? I can't recall.

His visions could be considered flying.

---

Hodor and Summer so far.

Why do you think I said Sharknado 6.

If the series ends in any other way than The Night King sitting on the iron throne I will be disappointed.

If I don't get to hear the punchline to Tyrion's joke I'm gonna be disappointed.

???
Why do I not know what you are talking about? What joke?

A measter, a red priest and someone else walk into a bar... or something along those lines.

Two lords walk into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass...

The Tyrion joke: (not actually, but someone wrote a good finish on the internet)

[sp]
Tyrion walks into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass.
Madame: What can we do for you?
Tyrion: I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me.
Madame: Whatever for? And what's with the honeycomb and the mule?
Tyrion: My woman found a genie in a bottle, and he granted her three wishes. The first was for a house fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb. The second wish was that she have the nicest ass in all the land, so he gave her this damn donkey...
Madame: And what about the third wish?
Tyrion: Well... she asked the genie to make my cock hang down past my knee.
Madame: Well that one's not so bad eh?
Tyrion: Not so bad!? I used to be six foot three!

Welp, not really a spoiler, so I don't care, but I guess there's a character limit on the spoiler tag.

This, except Arya peels back the Night King's face.

Not going to happen, Arya is a stark, stark' s die. Martin is a wolfphobic.

Wall prevents them from crossing. The wrights were carried into Castle Black. The question I think is why they even appeared dead. Although those at the TER cave were obviously set there to guard - maybe they are given directions/programming.

I do not think the magic for the cave and the wall are the same - I don't buy that Bran opened the wall by passing. It seems Coldhands/Benjin would warn him if that was true.

---

If Bran causes the Wall to fall, it'll mean he is far and away the stupidest person in Westeros and completely unfit to be the three-eyed Raven.

---

If that happens, Bran will have caused the civil war by climbing that tower and brought down Westeros.

Kind of impressive

While very interesting, the show has not portrayed this story at all. The show illustrated the beginning of the white walkers to have been to done by the children of the forest to protect the children from men. I am not sure how the books jive with that vs what that video indicates.

Waif, it will be The Waif.

I really really hope not

I haven't watched the video, but the books haven't provided any insight to the origin of the walkers or what they want.

I could buy that

Prepare to be disappointed. Towards the end of the series the dead are going to sweep through the kingdom. Only Bran will be left. Through some weird time travel stuff bran will alter the past (my theory is he WON'T take over King Aerys head that causes him to go mad). This will cause a catalyst of events that prevents past wars which has divided the kingdom. At the end you will see a united army making a stand at the wall against the white walkers with characters that didn't die (ned, robert, bunch of targaryens,etc.). Roll credits.

What if everything is one big time loop and Bran is the key to setting things straight which never happens

New trailer for episodes 2 & 3:

Bran is the night king.

Couple of things:
1) The slow march of the WW army was "current" and north of the wall. It wasn't Won Won, but a couple of other giants that the WWs had collected over the years. Also, if you notice, the "cold" was rolling with them. Obviously, we know the Night King can turn things cold (like he did in the burning house at Hardhome) but, in general, I think the Night King has been patiently waiting for the real "Winter" to arrive. That's why the army is going so slowly, because they are pacing themselves to attach when it is the coldest. This scene to me was signifying "Winter is officially here" and the WW army that Bran saw (when the NK touched his arm) was finally beginning to move south.

2) The way I piece together the number of White Walkers is by counting the women in Cruster's Keep. He kept the girls, but gave the boys to the NK, which we know were turned into WW, so statistically, there should be approximately as many WWs as there were women in his camp (putting aside how a WW baby grows up to a WW old man). The reason this make sense to me is also the explanation why no one has seen a WW for a thousand years: The NK has been in hiding, looking for a way to rebuild his army. Cruster's odd treaty finally gave him a way to build his army. It is a bit iffy, but at least I can use that to rationalize why no one has seen a WW in so long (assuming wildlings don't make a habit of leaving their babies out in the cold to die).

3) Littlefinger definitely wants to be with Sansa on the throne, but he also knows he can't challenge Jon right now. I actually think he is impressed by Jon, which means he needs to show even more patience. He's always been extremely calculated and patient. He's made it this far and outlived a number of other kings above him. He's in no rush to do anything brash that will get him killed. I honestly think his plan is to just outlast everyone else.

4) I'm perfectly fine with the leftover Baratheon battalion retreating when they saw Dani's ships pulling up. There looked to be quite a mess left in the throne room so someone definitely left in a hurry (I doubt Stannis trashed the place on his way out the door). Still, the castle currently belongs to the Baratheons and the Lannister army doesn't have a navy to have been able to scare the remaining Barathons out of it. Heck, maybe the lords who were in charge had gone to Kings Landing to watch Cersi's trial and been killed.

5) I think there is some real merit to the idea that dragonglass can cure greyscale. Valerya was the last place that had functioning manufacturing of valerian steel which I presume is just some form of infused steel and dragonglass. It makes sense that all the stonemen would travel there looking for a cure and then eventually overrun the city. Also, I like the idea that Stannis's daughter was partially cured just by being locked up inside a prison cell deep in the castle and accidentally surrounded by dragonglass. Who knows if it plays out this way, but that would be cool. Dragonglass itself was beautiful, but never really useful until now, so it makes sense why the Targeryans were fine not mining it all these years.

6) Arya is awesome now. So glad all those inception theories about her and the waif didn't come true.

7) The horn is dumb. It took multiple seasons to build up Arya to the type of person that can now challenge Cersi. It took multiple seasons to build the Mountain into the weapon he is. It took multiple seasons for what's his name at the wall to convince enough people to betray Jon. Same with the BWOB and the flaming sword dude, and same for Ramsey building up to the BoB. They even took multiple seasons growing the dragons. There's no way Euron pulls out a magical horn to control them in the span of 3-4 episodes. Besides, my understanding from what I've heard about the books is that the horn is used by Euron's brother to attack Mereen and basically give Dani a fleet. Well this purpose was served by the slave masters instead, which makes more logical sense, and has less "magic". The horn's purpose has already been served. All that to say, I have no clue what Euron's gift will be and that makes it all the more exciting!

Your approach undercounts POSSIBLE WW.

There were wildlings north of the wall. Why could they not be WW.

Sure, it certainly could me much more, but so far we have only seen the dead reanimated into wights and we have only seen live young babies turned into WWs. Wildlings would fight to the death but I suppose there is a little wiggle room for a baby wildling being found here or there from the WWs. If for no other reason than simplicity's sake though, Cruster's Keep was such a disturbingly awful situation that it makes sense to me that this is the evil deed that led to the rise of the WWs.
