jon snow just murdered sam and bran with that reveal to daenerys. the arya sex seen freaked me out b/c i thought that actress was only like 16 or 17. glad to know she was 21 when they filmed that!
I'm so girded against disappointment by now I cannot imagine being upset at anything that happens. Like, they're all already dead in my eyes. Anyone living at this point is a bonus.
I said to myself, "oh, they're not gonna have her get nude on camera, right?" Wrong. That wasn't even a body double. It is definitely a strange feeling to see someone whom you first met as a child (she was what, 14 when they started filming?) end up buck naked. But hey, everybody grows up. It was on-brand for the show for sure.
He took over Hodor more than once. And I recall Meera encouraging/ordering him to the first time, and her warg brother being surprised at the feat. I'm not expecting warging of any humans in the battle (but maybe a later episode??), and warging the dead dragon would just piss me off. Just wondering what people think he might do? Is he just going to sit there next episode as bait, or will he Warg into something to actually help, if for nothing else than recon to locate the dead dragon or Night King? anyhoot: just a side question of mine.
I mean "dead animals or dead people." As for Warging candidates... maybe Ghost? Isn't Nymiria still out there somewhere? Also, 1) All the talk about how the crypts are the safest place for the women and children make me worried for everyone down there. 2) Is the Night King at Winterfell? We don't see him in the final shot with the othee White Walkers on horses. (Why aren't the White Walkers walking? You are the White Walkers, not the White Riders.) 3) Will there be an outside force to save the day or at least help a little bit when things get inevitably dire? Melisandre is still out there. Bronn?
Nerd talk time It's not telekinesis because he isn't just controlling their body with his mind, he is taking them over. It's an extreme form of telepathy. Telekinesis would allow him to move their body but he wouldn't see through their eyes, think as them, etc.
Same, but I'm not sure how they would justify some dusty old skeleton pushing a thousand pound slab of crypt lid off when a whole herd of them couldn't move Hodor out of the way.
Banter is the best part of the show. I am worried that all the fighting in episode 3 would leave us with insufficient banter.
It's also dumb. If the battle goes badly you can't get anyone out of the crypts to retreat. They are truly treating it as a last stand at Winterfell. Either win or everyone dies.
I think they are treating it like a "welp, if we lose, our only hope is hiding" situation. Not entirely bad. Evacuating has its own problems (especially given its women/children in the middle of the winter). If the crypts are a relatively hidden place, it may be their best chance. I'd just say eff it and go to Essos at this point.
Not sure why I didn't notice at the time...I thought the whites couldn't swim? How did they hook up to the dragon to pull it out?
I mean, what else? I actually think he will have some sort of surprise for the Night King when the NK comes for him.
[Premium Post] No matter how many Westerosi knights, fire-breathing dragons, or skilled fighters there are at Winterfell swinging Valyrian steel swords or brandishing dragonglass weapons, it will not be possible to repel the army of the dead without magic. The dead's sheer numbers are overwhelming. So as we wait for the huge battle, I look to two things to give the army of the living a chance. Both of these items are linked to people with knowledge - Bran and Sam. 1. Horn of Winter (a.k.a. Horn of Joramun) - held by Sam Tarley, given to him by Jon Snow after Ghost found it buried with dragonglass North of the Wall. Two signs from Episode 2 may point to this Horn coming into play: Ghost just returned to Winterfell and there was a very important dialogue where Sam was trying to persuade others to let him fight. This Horn has magical powers that *may* be capable of defeating the White Walkers. 2. Children of the Forest - Are there missing/surviving Children of the Forest who will return to use magic to repel the army of the dead? Bran holds the key here given the Three Eyed Raven's connection to the Children of the Forest. As we know, the Children of the Forest created the Night King so they know the most about him. Again, magic will be required here, and well as knowledge of how to use it effectively against the Night King. GOOD DAY
It's not that hard folks - Put Bran on a Dragon, fly him back over the wall, white walkers follow, patch up the wall, next
