I wonder if/when we will see more of the Red Priests or Priestesses, they seemed quite concerned about this upcoming war with the Night King. Are they just going to sit this out? Same with the Children of the Forest. Didn't they actually start this whole thing with the dragonglass? Surely they didn't all die at the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven. Cricket, I have no idea what will come in the series. With only six episodes they may not touch on the Children. I'm hoping they will have a little more info on the Red Priests and Priestesses. Maybe Mellie will bring some of them to help fight the war to come.
I really do believe in the books we will learn a great deal more about the Children and the Isle of Faces. I think we will get a much more detailed account on the making of the Others.
Problem is we have no earthly idea when we will be getting "The Winds of Winter".......Of late I have been wondering if GRRM is making changes to make sure his story is 100% his own and different than the Series. Just a thought.
GRRM has hinted that his last 2 books will be 1500 manuscript pages. If this is correct they would both be larger than A Storm of Swords.......

I kind of think of the shows as one of those books you read when you were younger where you select certain actions that gave a different outcome. LOL

WOW!!! There is so much that happened. I may need a day or two to marinate in all of it. Some of the mini highlights.
Mini Celgane bowl. Lyanna and Rhaegar's wedding. Boat Sex. Littlefinger on his knees begging. The look on Cersei's face when the Wight ran at her. The look on Jamie's face when Cersei said she never intended to help Jon and Dani. Jamie finally left. The Ice Dragon, not in a good way. The Wall breached.
I was disappointed we didn't get to see more of Lyanna and Rhaegar, I've waited many years to see them and it was so brief.
I'm feeling a little sorry for GRRM, he has spent 20 yrs writing this story and the series revealed the biggest secret. That must be a little hard. But, he did sell the TV rights, so he knew it was coming.
More later!

I was so happy the way the girls took LF down together. yippie! very satisfying to see him go out that way. justice for Kat and Lysa. he finally got taken into account for ALL his crimes and now the Stark Kids are stronger than ever! thought Jamie was gonna eat it for a minute there. Cersie must be getting soft lol! But..
Don't know why the are bothering with a season 8. We (the living) are sooooooo toast!

I may have to wait till tomorrow to do this justice, very long episode and I am doing re-watches to absorb it all, but one thing out of the first scene I thought. Bronn is overseeing defenses, a soldier tells him he has 500 barrels of Oil, Bronn says get another 500, now if you have two flame throwers that can fly and would be attacking you would you want a 1000 barrels of Oil waiting to be ignited inside the walls where all your troops are at on the wall defending you?
Was a great episode, not a lot of what we call action, but great drama and great closure on a lot of things.

Well look at it this way, if Cersie is not going to support Dani and Jon/Aegon/ Ae-Jon ( my name for him now) then you know The Hound survives to finish of The Mountain.

The scene with Tyrion lurking in the shadows watching/listening to the Dragons together was very creepy. Perhaps he is the one that ends up betraying her. That will be a huge bummer. He has always seemed honorable. And IF he is the third dragon??? My hope is season eight will show Bronn riding hell bent for leather to catch up with Jaime and they will get away from Cresei and her doom. Poor Jaime was a humble bumble riding out alone... The Warlocks showed Dany the Throne Room covered in snow. I think Bart King makes it to Kings Landing. My prayer is that Arya and The Hound have finished their hunt and are on their way to safety when Bart King arrives.
