Edd wasn't alone when he bumped into Tormund at Last Hearth, there were at least 3 others. Plus he said "they have horses" and could "double up". I took "we are the last 3" of Edd, Sam, Jon as the last of the group that they name while talking, not the last 3 (current / former) members of the watch. | |||

Couldn't Dany also do a strafing run at night? I bet she and the dragon could take out an entire wall of scorpions before anyone knew what happened. Same with Euron's fleet of ships that have to be docked somewhere. Not like they have spotlights or radar... | |||

I inadvertently read some of the spoilers for the next episodes...and if they prove true I'm going to need some things to break. I hope they are wrong Edit:  "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||

Same here  I only hope they are not legit I cannot remember but a handful of series over the years that I have so much time invested in that I was truly happy with how it ended - and I think for most all that is the likely case. No series ends exactly the way you want it. Some, like the Lost series left nearly everyone universally unhappy with how it ended if my perception of it was anywhere close to the truth. | |||

Not going to go searching for it, but hope the above two are wrong... Dexter was another good example of a series that was running well & turned into a trainwreck at the end. Breaking Bad ended well. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Yeah, not going to look for spoilers and I'll watch it to the end. Breaking Bad is definitely the "Gold Standard" for how a show can stay and end consistently great. SOA / Lost / Dexter are examples of early glimpses of greatness, then varying degrees of derailment from about halfway on. I laughed my way through the last 2-3 season of Dexter about how shitty it had become but still put watched it to the bitter end. GOT has been a solid show, with some slow seasons but still it has been very very good overall. I hope they can tie it all together decently at the end and personally when I watch the episodes a second time, some of the 'bad' episodes don't seem bad. The biggest thing is they didn't leave themselves that extra episode or three to allow the final season(s) to flesh out a bit more with the slow development of threads that it has been known for. | |||

Breaking Bad got better as it went, and ended strong. This season of GOT just seems rushed. They should have made it a normal 10 episode season. Where before the drama and intrigue and soap opera-ness was done well and interesting, it all just seems forced and weak this season. I think they messed up bad doing the NK battle first. You spent 10 years building him up as the ultimate problem, then take him out in one episode, and just Oh well, on to Cersie now. The battle with the undead should have been two episodes, and it should be the end. The battle for kings landing has nowhere to go but be anti-climactic after 10 years of NK build up. Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||

I went diving for spoilers. There are a lot of interesting ones out there, none of which I'd dare bring into this fun conversation. One thing is for sure though. The people that make this show have a large disinformation campaign going on and it's driving folks into a fit. From what I've heard, multiple scenes and endings were shot to throw off the leakers. And probably no one will be completely happy no matter how this thing ends. Me personally would just want to see Ghost get a pat on the head and a cookie for getting his face tore up and ear removed. ___________________________________Sigforum - port in the fake news storm.____________Be kind to the Homeless.

Fuck that. I wanna see Tyrion ride Ghost into the final battle. He's already got the plans for the saddle. They just need to be scaled down slightly. | |||

That's 100% guaranteed. | |||

I agree. Needed at least 10 episodes to wrap this all up in any convincing way. Probably two 8 episode seasons really. Strive to live your life so when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the floor, the devil says "Oh crap, he's up." | |||

 With Ghost being able to come out of the attack that decimated an entire horde and their horses, Tyrion may be the only one left alive at the end of the show. Well him and Hotpie.___________________________________Sigforum - port in the fake news storm.____________Be kind to the Homeless. A lot of us are one bad decision away from there. | |||

I think that they believed the longer final 4 episodes would alleviate it, but honestly sometimes you need the week to let things simmer a bit. The whole Sansa tells Tyrion about Jon would be a lot more convincing leading off a week later, instead of 2 mins (on screen) after she was told, for example (of which there are many). A man's gotta know his limitations and thus far, he's been the most well off character. Just baking bread, getting fat, baking more bread...  | |||

You know what would be cool to see? The Nights Watch rebuilt, but re purposed as a neutral entity. We know that what was left of the Free Folk went back north of the wall. And let's just say for sake of argument that the 7 Kingdoms manage to survive the current cluster. There will probably always be tension between those that want to rule (the south) and those that refuse to be ruled (the true north). And there will always be a need for a place to send criminals and bastards (Knights Watch). Plug the hole in the wall, man the castles, and keep the peace on both sides. Plus you never know if there is another big bad lurking out there waiting to strike. Bran could probably use the work. Plant him in a little shack on top of the wall and let him fly recon missions with his ravens all day. ___________________________________Sigforum - port in the fake news storm.____________Be kind to the Homeless.

Everyone assumes Arya is enroute to kill Cersei. Way too obvious. I think she kills Greyjoy and disband his fleet. Perhaps sabotage all the Scorpions at Kings Landing? Hopefully HBO surprises us ! | |||

Euron's not on her list. Cersei is. | |||

Ghost was probably mostly useless in the fight against the dead army. Unless they retipped his teeth with obsidian or Valyrian steel, he wasn't killing any of the dead. They'd have been better off putting him in the crypts to keep him safe. | |||

So why aren't they pumping Bran for information? "Bran, check out Kings Landing an hour ago and tell me what the fuck they are doing!!!" "They have dragon killing crossbows all around Kings Landing and the Iron Fleet has 20 ships outfitted with them, lying in wait at Dragonstone, which you left unoccupied" | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ He seems pretty useless. I was hoping he would be eliminated. Maybe next episode. Hoping for a non Hollywood ending. I think that is a possibility as HBO apparently has spinoffs in the works. | |||
