We need a GoT prediction thread. Winner gets a million TZ-UK dollars. Heres mine: Dany gets wiped out by the Night King in an epic dragon battle. Jon retreats south only to be killed in battle against Cersei's forces. Bronn kills Tyrion. Jaime kills Bronn then heads home. Cersei defeats the Night King somehow and wins the day. However, in the very last episode she is subsequently murdered by her brother who is now the Kingslayer AND the Queenslayer. Samwell becomes king as he's the last person left.
I would think there needs to be two major battles this season. The living v the Night King, then anybody left v Queen Cersei. So there should be plenty of opportunities for main characters to get killed off, which has always been one of Game of Thrones strongest elements, well in the first 4 or 5 seasons at least. I expect plenty of red shirts to buy the farm but it will feel like a cop out if the producers dont kill off a fair number of major characters as well.

Jon and Dany get in on the family way, whilst Jamie winks his approval
The upstarts form Gin Alley realise that their brew has a has a night anti dead people potency …. Win the day and take the the thrown as a suppressed people’s commune…. Queen Marjory (god rest her soul) is the their fallen idol
Good shout
She’s already with child before doin the dirty with Euron
That is what 'she says' - it could be all an act with our current Throne occupant.
Or a dragon.
Sod the Great War, there had better be Cleganebowl.

Another Jamie kid?
Great episode 2 nicely sets the scene for next week’s carnage.
Not sure a crypt is such a great hidey hole for the Women and children though not when your enemy can reanimate corpses.

it was an ok episode, just frustrating that the series has only 6 episodes and 1 is wasted as a filler with little added to the story that could not have been done in half the time
Felt the same to me.
I was expecting Daenerys to throw a fit and start killing random people then flounce off on her dragon when Jon told her who he actually was.
Mind you, I'm still expecting her to do something along those lines - she's too power hungry to just 'bend the knee'
Snorefest…. Way too sentimental and schmoltzy
On to the blood and gore please (assuming it kicks off in the next episode)
I feel episode 2 was a bit of a missed opportunity. There are only 4 episodes left and so much they could have covered. I think this episode was a good show of the limitations of tv versus book - the lack of exploring and ability to close out little bits and pieces of the story eloquently. Remember, the Night King has not even been introduced into the books. Interesting to think that the books may go in a different direction.
The most important point of the episode - I think we got the first indication about what the Night King's aims are. To erase human history by killing the three eyed raven. An interesting goal - until we find out the Night King is Bran and that the war is a perpetual battle against himself (my grand prediction).
Arya didn't seem that delighted after her 'adventure'...
I'm actually really enjoying the season so far. The first episode did a great job of bringing all of the characters together and the second has set the scene for the fight of their lives to come, with a little bit of humour thrown in for good measure.
My guess is Samwell will eat them all, just like on Lost, where Hugo ate them all, right?
Certainly how I viewed it, no need to rush ragnarok and next episodes going to see the end of a fair number of these characters so quite interesting/amusing to see how they choose to spend their final hours.

I think something along these lines will happen too.
I also expect there will be some face swapping antics from Arya.
And surely there has to be some involvement with the Red Witch...
I predict that Pam just dreamed the entire season of Bobby Ewing being dead!
I just had a look on IMDB to see how long the remaining episodes are (there are a few long episodes, not just the next one) but what surprised me is the complete blackout of episode info for the unaired episodes.
They really are keeping the lid on this, for which I’m grateful.
Maisie Williams (Arya) has a fantastic arse :lol:

Bran Stark will sit on the Iron throne
I record the 0200hrs simultaneous US showing.
It would seem that even SKY are being kept in the dark.
The 2nd episode was billed as 84 minutes but only lasted just over an hour.
After a few adverts it then went to nearly 20 minutes of the SKY logo.
Doesn't look like I'll be winning the million TZ-UK dollars any time soon. Still good for Jamie to murder Cersei though!
So damn dark it was tough to follow the action at times, hail Arya for her badass ninja skills.
100% agree, very frustrating at first but I got used to it by the end, and WOW...what an ending it was!
My thoughts exactly. As someone who does CGI for a living (albeit nowhere near that level), I think it was a cost cutting measure: the darker it is, the less detail you need to model/animate/render, meaning you save loads both on man hours and render time. With the huge armies that supposedly took part in the fight, it makes sense to try and cut render times, but I think they went a bit too far: I genuinely struggled to see who was fighting who for most of the episode.
Very unlike GoT for someone to just show up and save the day whenever one of the main characters was in trouble. There were loads of times when I thought 'they're definitely dying now' only for the next frame to be the wight's head being chopped off. Most of the people that actually died may have been quite central at some point in the show (Theon, the Red Witch, the Night Watch guy that saved Sam - can't actually remember his name) but were only returning characters in the last couple of seasons. I'm struggling to think of anyone notable that has died in the episode (one of the dragons, maybe Jorah Mormont?) I thought Arya would die when he was strangling her, but apparently not...
Also, who thought that hiding in a crypt, surrounded by dead bodies, was a good idea when the guy you're fighting is literally known for raising his army from the dead?
I think Arya must be safe now that Gendry tupped her. There will probably be another potential heir to the iron throne lurking in her womb.
Thought it was really really bland.
No main guys killed off and just all a bit Hollywood ending.
What was the point in the NK ???
It's gone downhill massively in my opinion, lost the spark that made it.
Just watched it, and really enjoyed that one- edge of the seat stuff. Having so many well drawn characters means I’m willing them to live! Arya was the stand out this episode
Can't believe it. Best TV I've ever seen. So intense and an ending I wanted.
Agreed! Best thing I have ever seen on TV. Just stunning.

You were clearly watching something else fella, it was a fantastic episode.
Just wow!
How on earth do you top that?

Wanted - Damasko DC57
3 more to go, and I genuinely have no idea how you top that! Cersei is still there, and only one person can sit on the throne so a fight is still to come...

They’re coming for Cersei now....remove her “root and stem”

Loved it! Really gripping stuff, I followed some on line recommendations and turned up the brightness on my tv, don’t know if it helped but I expect it did a bit.
Cheers..

It's been panned as an episdoe so I can't be the only one.
It just just seemed very predictable and that's not what GOT has ever been.
No main characters lost
NK went out with a whimper
Dragons spent the episode bothered by hail stones
And again what exactly was the whole point in the NK. This was meant to be the Apocalypse and yet everyone survived and a little girl appears from nowhere as hoards have been raised and stabs him and that's it.
They've ran out of ideas there with the NK and bottled it.
Enjoyed the piano music with slow mo the last 10 mis though.
All seemed very safe and as if Disney has bought the franchise.
The programme was great. The picture quality was abysmal. I have a properly calibrated OLED and was using the Expert Dark Room option and the banding made it almost unwatchable.
Panned by who? Everyone I know who watched it thought it was amazing.

Panned as an episode? IMDB have it rated at 9.4
My only criticism is as others have said. It was simply too dark.
Eh?
You have got to be kidding. It was superb tv and I was absolutely riveted. Bit dark? Maybe,but I didn't actually mind as I thought it added to the whole feeling of confusion surrounding the battle.
God knows how they top that for the rest of the series.
Go Arya!
I'm pretty sure Jon will die. The red woman said something along the lines of those revived by fire god or whatsitcalled die once they fulfill the reason to be brought back to life. Sounds like Jon falls into this category. Also Daenerys and the dragons will disappear, as they're part of the old world, too mad and dangerous. Arya and Gendry will be the new rulers imo.
I was a bit disappointed, next time you're defending a castle John get your lads inside or even just behind the defences and try and stop half your army charging to their deaths. And it was all a bit convenient how the main guys were snatched from the jaws of death or just managed to fight their way to the end. The hoards seemed to get a bit one at a time... after you Mr zombie towards the end too. And it was very dark....that said it was impressive and i did enjoy it. Think I just hoped for more.
Didn't feel thrones like, more lord of the rings or similar.
I fully agree, it was so blurred it was like watching a 3D movie without 3D glasses on. I checked a couple of times to make sure I hadn't recorded it in Standard Definition by mistake. By the end I thought it must be time to replace my TV until I read similar comments on here about the picture quality!
And no main characters died. The problem with most TV series is that they are too character focused. GOT was different, the characters fitted into the plot not the other way round and any character could die at any time. That's changed since they went beyond the books after season 4. The main characters have become untouchable to the detriment to the plot.
Overall it's been a disappointing season so far.

No, he's right. The Night King was hyped for years as the worst villain ever, and he dies in a sneak attack by Arya? Shut the front door.
I must say that the last episode was probably the worst GOT episode I’ve seen.
The Night Kings death wasn’t exactly without cost though was it? Everyone died, the biggest baddest army ever put together gone in a matter of hours. Now they face Cerci with nothing. I get the point that none of the main characters died but I guarantee that’s in the post and I’m sure it will fit the GOT story better more appropriately/satisfyingly than all being killed by zombies.

Well it is supposed to be a battle for the ‘game of thrones’ and that’s still to come. Difference now is it looks like it Cersai and her 20,000 soldiers against the good guys which are probably about 27 including women* and children!
*Arya though would take down any man - and probably will take out the mountain.
