Yeah but does Rheagal answer to her or to Jon now? That won't matter as long as Jon stays on her side, but I don't think that's necessarily a given.

---

They're gonna make Jon lustful for power and then Sansa, Dany, Arya and Cersei will have to band together to kill him and destroy this patriarchal society and they'll all become besties drinking wine and ruling the the 7 Kingdoms. Thats why all the women are now in control and badass #feminism

Again...at this point in the books, there is not a Night King.

Yes, there is. There must be, even if we haven't met him. Unless you think the Others are a technologically-advanced, organized race of beings without a leader.

Well that settles it. RIP Arya

I haven't kept up with the discussion on the lighting problems, so forgive me if this has already been posted, but this is a good discussion in what went wrong
https://amp.cheezburger.com/8285445/game-of-thrones-very-dark-episode-explained-in-factual-twitter-thread?__twitter_impression=true

Not sure if this was asked or suggested (and on this long a thread don't wana go back too much) but on the "Arya jumped outa nowhere" maybe she masked herself as one of the dead bodies laying around or one of the WW in close proximity? That seems like the only plausible solution to that. But if thats indeed the case there shoulda been some implication of that just prior to the kill scene.

FWIW I'm predicting (and I have no inside knowledge):

I think Yara Greyjoy comes in and plays a pivotal role in the final battles or conflicts.

Anything else? Oh, what the f- can Bran offer now?

---

Bran is like having a satellite in a world where everyone else is using ground-bases line-of-sight reconnaissance and communication and some of y'all can't think of any uses for him?

---

What use is all seeing if you refuse to communicate?

I don't get the Jon didn't fight a WW criticism. If you know that the death of one of your officers would result in the death of thousands of soldiers, why in the hell would you risk that? I'd sit those WW dudes on top of a hill far away from the fighting and have them watch just like in the show.

With the exception of waiting too long to bring the storm and getting too personal with Bran, I think the NK's tactics were pretty damned good. Way better than the living side.

Am I imagining this or did they already discuss bringing in the armies of Dorne and Highgarden? Though I have no idea what's left of those or who commands them.

---

What about the Knights of the Vale, did they sit this one out after Littlefinger was killed?

---

They were all around Brienne so, you know, they're probably allright!

Speaking of the Vale. Where the eff was Bronze Yohn Royce?! Taking Ghost for a walk after the initial charge?

I'm not sure they'll address it, but they should definitely kill that guy. He didn't defend the North, so he shouldn't live in it any longer.

And then a sequel series...I can see it now.....

Sex in the Citadel

Ironically, no one eye-rolled harder than Cersei at this joke. She would pull a Tommen before being trapped in that version of hell.

I can't shake the feeling that Jaime is going to betray the good guys to help Cersei in the end. I hope not. I love his redemption and I've loved watching him try to rise above the weight of his past choices. I think he's genuinely an honorable man now. But Tyrion said it well: "You've always known what she is and you loved her anyway." And it would be such a shock to the viewers since we've all completely bought into his arc.

He came north to fight for the living. That fight is done. He loves Cersei, no matter how flawed she is, and she's pregnant with his child. I don't see him leaving Winterfell now to go back to her, more of a situation where Cersei is in acute danger and he chooses to protects her. Kind of like Frodo at the last moment - "I choose not to do this."

It's not a prediction, more of a worry. He loves Brienne because she inspires him to be a better man and I hope that holds him to the ground, and depending on how the encounter with Bronn goes he may finally put Cersei behind him. But if any character in this show has a Precious, it's Jaime. She was his whole world for most of his life. The idea that he would betray his allies for love isn't far fetched to me. Sad, but not out of character for him. And say one thing for GRRM, say he can break your heart.

Cersei will definitely need to do something more for Jaime to go against her. Going to Winterfell was easy, but fighting against Cersei is another story altogether. I guess killing Brienne or Tyrion could send him over the edge, but it's tough to say what will happen at this point.

Social Media Influencer said:

---

Don't forget the Bronn factor.

---

Haha I love that gif. The Bronn factor is huge. The Brienne factor is huge. And he loves and trusts Tyrion. And yet...

Hell, I could see him saving Cersei somehow, betraying the others, and THEN finally coming to grips with what she really is and then killing her in total despair.

Hey the dragons gotta eat..... food is in short supply. Let them take a flight up to Deepwood Motte and torch the castle and make a meal of whatever is left.

Were the Glover's one of the families that betrayed Rickon or was that just the Umbers and Karstarks? I can't remember. Either way I hope they pay some price. Maybe give Deepwood Motte to the 10 remaining Unsullied. Or Ser Brienne.
