Big night tonight on Game of Thrones. If you just have to have something to tide you over until 8:04 PM, here are a couple of items.
ShatonTV has been producing some quality podcasts on GOT and other shows for quite some time (It was indispensable for Westworld). STV produces an instant take podcast after an episode then will take a deeper dive two days later. Tuesday's podcast produced some rather penetrating observations and theories.
One such observation was something missed in the actual script for the Season 7 finale:
Then there is the matter of the crypts. D&D are doing everything possible to tell everyone that something will happen in the crypts. Will the Starks arise from the dead to attack the living, will the risen Starks defend the living, or will Tyrion and Varys get drunk and tell more cock jokes? The podcasts are on Iheartradio app as well.
Emerging from the frozen coastal forest, the ARMY OF THE DEAD comes in force. All of them, 100,000 strong, with hundreds of WHITE WALKER officer corps on their dead horses.
Then there is the master of the Youtube review, Alt Shift X. He dropped a new one yesterday that lives up to his usual high standards.
Tonight should be fun to watch. Longest battle scene in movie or tv history.
Who will die? Hmmm...... time to take a stab at that one:
Eddard: It's just time for him.
Sansa: just a premonition
Brienne: Arc is over unless she and Jaime hook up.
Gendry? Hmmm..... Nope. Surprise ending could be Cersaid and Targeryan's kill each other off. Leaves him as only Baratheon plus he and Arya are the union of Baratheon and Stark, almost poetic.
Hound? Nope. We still have Cleganebowl.
Jaime? No, I think he and Arya still have dealings with Cersai.
Varys? Yup.
Tyrion? His chances are probably 50/50
Ser Jorah? Yup. He's going down.
Aegon VI? Probably survives but I think Dany will go mad queen on him. She won't believe his claim til she orders a dragon to burn him and the dragon refuses.
Sam? He has to be around to write the history.
Greyworm? He dead.
Tormund? Yup. He should've died last year when they made their excursion to the Great White North but he was protected by plot armor. Time for him to die bravely.
Another thought, do the Lannister army and Golden Company move up to the Twins to meet whoever wins the Northern war? What's interesting is how much smaller the armies in Westerors are when all this started. There were over 100,000 Wildings, now they are almost extinct. The Lannisters were over 40,000 men, much smaller force now. The North fielded an army of 20,000 men when Robb Stark rode South, now they can't even reach 10,000. The Tully army is no more. These people have literally killed each other off while the AOD has merely grown.
Armies not accounted for: Dorne, Freys, Second Sons.

OMG so gay
AOD is Fonzie on water skis. Tonight is Brady Bunch in Hawaii.
GoT is greatest epic show of all time. Hate that it is ending after this season!
@3:40 PM.. Dang, if you think GOT is gay then you have either led a very sheltered life or you are just plain ignorant! Either way, tune in at 8 PM CST and be enlightened.
Looks like the show is going to go out with a powerful Womyn Strong! theme. Leftists were tweeting that the current POTUS is like the Night King and Arya is like despite the fact that the Night King toppled a border wall during his invasion.
Another reason why real history is better than this entry-level Hollyweird garbage that is intended to replace European history. Leftists can't separate TV from reality.
Well, fan predictions online, here and in your other thread pretty much sum up fandom. A little right, a little wrong... rinse and repeat. Great episode last night!
Very few major character deaths last night. Perhaps the augurers have forgotten that we have another big battle coming.
We all seemed to know that Arya would take down the Night King. Bran certainly knew it. Great moment: Hand moves for sword, sprint and leap, block choke, money shot. And semi-sweet Lyanna Mormont was granted a hero's death. For some reason, I objected to Dany's weeping over Jorah. The scene was more about her than about the death of a great man.
Against all odds--all odds!--it looked like Brienne and Jaime were still standing against the wall at the end. I'm sorry, but I still like the first encounter of Jon and the Night King more, and the Battle of the Bastards took place in the daytime: not as much opportunity for cheating our eyes.
Three words: Carice Van Houten.
Night King never been about fighting people one on one. He wasn't going to fight Jon.
For the love of God, will someone who is still sane kill this damn show and every stupid, breathless article and post and whatever about it? Jeez.
