I am all the sudden starting to get this fear in regards to Cersei. I am REALLY rooting for Jaime to kill Cersei in the end. Imo he should probably do so while dying himself and they "die together" type of situation. I just don't see Jaime living past the finale. However he simply needs to be the one to kill Cersei as it will have the most emotional impact imo. Tyrion wants it too much for my liking. However I am getting this fear that Jaime will kill her in the sense that she dies in child birth giving birth to Jaime's child in a comparable way to how her mother died and how she blamed Tyrion for her death. It wasn't until this episode that I thought maybe Cersei really is pregnant. When she first mentioned it I was sure she was lying and using it to manipulate Jaime and then later Tyrion. Then last week we saw her drinking wine after banging the pirate when she refused around Tyrion to try and "sell being pregnant". However just the way that Jaime talked to Tyrion last night about how the pregnancy was real and how she uses the truth get what she wants or what not got me thinking, fuck...is she actually pregnant? Now another thing crossed my mind as well if she is indeed pregnant. The Night King has been taking children for a long time and Gilly's child was meant to be sacrificed to him and such. If the battle of Winterfell isn't won by the living and the Night King isn't dead then what are the possibilities of the Night King and Cersei teaming up and Cersei sacrificing her child to him as "payment"? I mean she basically sacrificed her last living child in Tommen after murdering his wife and leading him to kill himself. Cersei basically isn't even a human being anymore so it wouldn't be out of the question.Thoughts on these? Hadn't thought of this one. Cersei's motivation in the show has always been to protect her children at all costs. She's made shortsighted decisions that blew up in her face (because that's just what she does), but it was always to protect her children. On the surface I'd say it's hard to imagine her giving up her child that way; but if she saw becoming an ice queen and turning her child into an immortal white walker as the only way out...I think she'd do it. Not a bad theory.

But nonetheless, I am waiting eagerly for what would be the biggest funeral of the show. I have got some exotic tender coconut icecream to enjoy this mayhem.

I’m in the camp that thinks this will be the end of the Night Kings story. It won’t be easy but he will be defeated and we will those some big character names. The remaining 3 episodes will continue the battle for the iron throne. I’m not even expecting to see Cersei in this next episode, the focus needs to be the battle of Winterfell

The more and more I see people building this episode up as going to "emotionally wreck them" the more and more I think I'm just going to laugh at all of their tears. Sure, I'll miss some of the characters that die but given the fact that we'll only have 3 more episodes left afterwards it's not like there will be much time left anyways. If Jaime died I'd be upset but I feel pretty confident that he's at least surviving this episode.

Dandorian, Podrick, Thormund, Gilly...the second tier will be thrown under the bus in this battle, while most if not all major (maybe save for one or two...the Bastard of Winterfell, Bran, Theon, Tyrion) will make it for the second half.

The script definitely feels less clever since they went off the books, and I was getting a sense of that in these first 2 episodes again. Nobody is saying anything particularly poetic or thought-provoking anymore. It's all a bit banal these days.
As far as predictions, I don't know. I always thought the whole race to sit on the Iron Throne thing was overplayed among fans, like it's something very special and unobtainable, yet already Cersei has been sitting on it for the past season and it hardly feels like she is any more powerful than Dany or Jon Snow. That side of it doesn't interest me all that much. I'm more interested in how the White Walker side of it plays out.
I just hope that there's a good balance of emotion and spectacle and it's all reasonably well written with not too many plot holes or dire dialogue. Pretty sure they'll get the spectacle part right.

Okay so....a disappointment? yes or no? The Night King's death was definitely shocking, but I can't help but feel they made it like that just for the sake of it. Also was hoping for the deaths of more central characters than only Jorah and Melisandre .

I can only sympathize with the feelings of fans of Jon, Dany and Sansa. The great feeling when you know you found the main hero the first time you saw the show.

It was a good overall episode yet disappointing as well. Nobody of real importance died despite the heavy hype this episode got built up to be. Doesn't seem like any main character really suffered any big loss outside of Dany with Jorah. Nobody is missing an eye, arm, hand nothing. Just ya know, some scrapes here and there. The NK and his captains do nothing. No fighting or anything. They just walk up into an area and let themselves die. That was pretty weak.

Was I the only one who couldn’t see shit for long stretches of this? I have 4K and even with the lights off I was looking at a black screen.
