GOT: who let the dawgs out!

Next week is going to be a bloodbath...
The Starks are going to send their regards...
I see the Freys are celebrating their "victory", but honestly have no idea how they get their comeuppance next week. I'd love a reverse Red Wedding, but unless Blackfish isn't really dead, I don't see it.
The ONLY thing I didn't like is not seeing the Greyjoys in action for the battle of Meeren. I kept waiting for the black sails to come out of no where and tear UP some slavers.
But that being said seriously best episode this season right in front of Hodor.

I hope Jamie makes it out of there. I don't think there's any chance of him dying, but I think at least one of Margery, Tommen or Cersei is gone. You know the Mountain is going to get at least 1 person out of Lancel, SHAME! or HS. I'm convinced Cersei is turning KL in the Blackwater so there may not be a single person left in KL after next week. The title is Winds of Winter. It would be something if KL is burning down and the last shot we see is some snow falling on the flames.
Rickon died so another Stark bites the dust. Cersi vs High Sparrow, Jamie at the Freys, Ironborn, and do they show anything else at Winterfell.
I will be surprised if they show Dany or Arya again this year. I think Dorne is pretty much done unless they recruit them to fight the White Walkers.
I really hope Jamie has some semblance of the person Brienne thinks he could be and pays back the Freys for being douchebags. I wonder if Jamie kills Cersi to prevent her from finishing what the Mad King tried to do. The fortune said she would be killed by the younger brother and she is the older twin. She always assumed it meant Tyrion.
My brain just exploded. I think you're right. Would be great if Nymeria's wolfpack interrupted dinner.
That was awesome
Great rebound from last week. That was one of the episodes of the series.

Sansa actively held that knowledge from Jon Snow. I am not 100% sure why. Perhaps strategy to make sure Winterfel was taken even if it meant sacrificing Jon and his army. She did warn him not to take the bait. Would have been a pretty easy victory for them if they held to their plan.
I'm worried about what Littlefinger wants from Sansa, or rather, I know WHAT he wants from Sansa but will she accept him willingly as the price for his help. In the Game of Thrones, Littlefinger thinks he'll come out on top. Being married to the Wardeness of the North would certainly help his claim. Of course, Dany will surely have something to say about it.
I had the same thought last night. It would certainly appear that she's about to go completely postal. With the confirmation last night of wildfire under KL in mass quantities (what's the shelf life on that stuff, anyway?) and the fact that Jamie kill the mad king over it one would start to think the window is open for Cersei's death. The question becomes whose hand wields the blade.
For once I was happy not to see him.
Had he been there, he would have been dead.
However, I would've loved to see him bolt out of the woods at the end of the battle as Jon and the wildlings storm the castle.
Also the scene where Jon was being crushed under the stampede and bodies was terrifying. That would have been hands down the ugliest death on the show - they even had the slow sad music they used for Hodor's death going. They had me convinced that Jon could die right there, kudos to them. Masterfully shot all around. Possibly the best episode yet.

The way this show long plays the character arcs is amazing..
It takes the story lines you hated watching and makes the payoff huge. I'll bet Arya's story goes the same way. She's about to do something epic. Maybe she'll team up with the Hound again.. they're the best adult/child combo since Indy and Short Round.
Tyrion is about to be pitted against Jamie in the final episodes next year (or 2018 if they split the season like Breaking Bad). I bet he's ultimately going to have to choose between his brother and Dany. Oh.. and he always wanted a dragon... even if it was a little one, like him. Would Dany gift him the little green dragon?
Is Dany ultimately the only player seeking the iron throne? Sansa and Jon just want Winterfell. Baelish has the Vale. Yara wants the Iron Isles.
Are we ever going to finish Bran's vision of the tower of joy?
After he gave his father a five finger discount on that sword, where are Sam and Gilly headed?

Theres been two things this entire series that have made me uncomfortable. The Red Viper's scream when the Mountain was crushing his head and Jon getting trampled.
I'm curious to see what storyline they payoff and which one they blue ball you with for the next 9 months.
Supposedly the actor that plays young Ned hinted at "that scene" finally taking place next episode. Amazingly that huge storyline has taken a backseat to everything else.

From what I've read -- if you remove the existence of Dany and the WW -- this episode will tie up the vast majority of the loose ends in the series. Going to by 70 minutes long, the longest in the history of the show -- and it's going to be just as insane as last season's finale -- with seemingly fewer loose ends.
I don't see what they can do for 60 mins that will solely focus on KL. I'm a little worried. Tommen, the trial, high sphincter, Loras, etc. None of that really excites me. I think Bran will get 5-10 mins with the Tower. I guess Jamie and the Frays might do something.
Not that it will happen this season, but I'm convinced Euron is simply a mechanism to push Yarra to Meereen. No horn will come into play. That storyline will be just like Dorne (which was simply inserted to kill the lannister girl and to kill the mountain).
I assume KL getting burned won't happen without the dragons, hence Tyrion bringing it up.
Thoughts?

Baelish wants the Iron Throne, he, more than Cersei, will be who stands in Dany's way. But I think Varys kills him, in the end.
I think we see Oldtown, Dorne -- from Meereen, Pyke, Winterfell, King's Landing, The Twins, and The Wall(assuming Bran comes back thru at CB and not at the Nightfort as he went through initially) all in this episode.
I think we mostly have the table set for the war to come at the end of this 70 minutes, so obviously a whole lot has to happen. I'd love to talk about the nuance of the things I'd like to actually see -- but the show has lost most of the nuance IMO since they started really going off-book last year.
I think Bran will cross the Wall and the final scene of next week will be the Night's King putting his hand on the Wall and it crumbling.
I think LF is either currently or soon will be smart enough to know that there is no such thing. He doesn't realize it yet, but he's caught between the two real armies -- the WW and Dany. What happened at Winterfell was awesome, but in the big scheme of things basically amounts to a skirmish. Over something that may be important(the castle itself "winterfell" -- and the likelihood that it was originally designed by Bran the Builder around the time of the last Long Night(Designed to withstand the WW/wights is my guess). There were ~ 9000 total present at that battle prior to the Vale arriving. Dany is bringing~100k and 3 dragons I believe(the show is inconsistent on numbers so who really knows). She will likely have Dorne and the Reach by the end of this episode without any fighting. If the total numbers from the books can be believed(the power in the Reach), she'll be nearing 200k before she finds real resistence either in the Stormlands or Westerlands. LF -- even if "controlling" 3 constituent regions -- probably controls 50k max. And Winter officially arrives across all of westeros in this episode(the white ravens going out in the preview are from the Citadel and this is what they signify).
I think Arya is about to blow up a lot of things and become everyone's favorite no one again.
