    Kesley found an episode break down and it showed the next 2 or 3 at 80 minutes. In either case it's better than what we've gotten so far.
    I suspect we're going to lose about half our main characters this week.
    :(

    Agreed... although there was something really great about 'The Lord of Light is going to wonder why he brought you back 19 times, when I chuck you over this ******* wall."

    I gotta go down to Florida to take care of a couple things so will miss the episode (I'm too cheap for HBO down there) but am recording it back home...so I'll be sure not to appear here to avoid spoilers. But right now there is so much discussion and speculation after every episode I may have to isolate myself from newspapers and internet altogether. o_O Not!

    haha Stu, if you are bringing a laptop, you can use HBOGo through your cable/satellite provider. You can watch it that night. Episodes go online either right on time, or the moment that it has finished.

    Yeah, that should work...a lot of stuff I can't watch online (local sports) because my Spectrum app won't work unless I'm logged in to my Spectrum wifi (so what could is it? If I'm at home where my wifi is I can watch it on my damn TV.) But Big10 to Go and HBOGo etc. work.

    Yeah I have Spectrum as well. As long as you're logged into your Spectrum account, you should be able to watch HBOGo and catch the episode before the spoilers hit the internet. :D

    RE: House Mormont...
    Can't raise the trophy, like the Dothraki they are extinct! :eek:

    Prediction: Jaime will try to kill Cercie, but Arya will have to finish the job as usual. :D

    20,000 gold cloaked men are about to meet their maker at the hands of the dragons who are more comfortable in the South and I agree, Arya for the walk off 3 to win it.

    Also, agreed about House Mormont, but their contributions can't be overlooked and they all died with their boots on and with honor.

    "Brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes"...doesn't Cerci have green eyes?

    Also don't forget the prophecy that she received as a child that she would die at the hands of her little brother.

    Some fans are speculating that Arya will kill Jaimie (who also has green eyes) then take his face and use that to get close to and kill Cerci.

    That's a sound theory, but I think she might be able to do this one without a facepass.
    Either way, damn, this was a good episode.
    I love the people fussing about the darkness. The battle took place at night long before the sun came up and there's no electricity....

    btw, has there been a prettier mid-air hand crossover since Michael Jordan than the stunt Arya pulled?

    So how did Arya pull off that coming out of nowhere to put the shiv in the Night King?

    i don't know, but I bet her training as a faceless man had something to do with it. We saw just a wisp of wind in that white walkers hair and then she came flying over the top.

    Excactly... she's been trained as the best assassin around.
    I loved watching all the reaction videos.
    HAPPY! (Arya will kill him!)
    OH CRAP! (He caught her and is choking her out!)
    ELATION! (She pulled "the Arya switch" and took him out!)

    Arya learned that trick from her very first instructor: the dancing master that her father hired for her.

    Entire Houses are gone: the Mormonts; the Karstarks etc...

    I miss the Dothraki already. Massed psycho flaming screamers go well with the dragons...

    Where is Bronn? Did Cerci off him?

    Bronn is on his way north to kill Tyrion and Jaime... question is: Will he actually trust Cersei not to off him if he does complete her orders?
    I'm thinking he's too smart for that. And... he's somewhat fond of the brothers.

    Bronn is on his way to assassinate Jamie Lannister. There aren't many left to fight, but those that are will be salty and totally untrusting of anyone who missed the Battle of Winterfell. Bronn may well get Jamie, or someone, but they are gonna Mussolini his ass if he does...

    Then again, there's always the chance that Bronn switches sides. He's a sell sword and he's no dipshit. The Queen is now headed South with 2 Dragons, a Dire Wolf, everyone who was bad ass enough to survive the Battle of Winterfell and Samuel Tarly :)

    He may see those odds and flip, double crossing the queen. She may have 20k of the Golden Company, but the will get wiped out real quick by Dragons in the open field. Same thing goes for the Captain of the Love Boat out there in the harbor. She's going to have time to heal her dragons and there's no more white walkers around
