Samwell would be a great hand. So is Tyrian. I think they should let those two battle to the death. Winner gets to pick the King/Queen.

Great episode and loved how Arya finished it. My wife called it when the red woman said she would kill blue eyes. I guess the TV show is just throwing all of the prophecy stuff out the window.
Holy Shit! That was a great episode. Arya coming in to kill the Night King was epic. For a moment there I thought Bran was gonna pull of some kinda Professor X psychic warfare stuff and hinder the Night King enough for Jon to level the killing blow. Nope. Bran just sits there like bait. But, of course he knew this would come to pass...yawn.
The characters that died were expected. I'm not surprised except for young Lady Mormount. I think she should have survived.
They did give her one of the best deaths in the entire show. She died like a BOSS. I did like that Arya basically was trained for the last several years for that instant. If she isn't like a ninja then she doesn't get close to him like that. I was wondering what Bran was going to actually do. I thought the 3 eyed raven would do something other than worg into a raven to fly around. I thought he was going to take over the dragon but nope, just being boring.
They kind of turned it on its head with Jon getting trapped by the dragon. I will say that GRRM definitely has the ability to change things in the books. The Children of the Forest have basically been nonexistent except for getting Bran to the 3 eyed raven. All of the prophecy stuff didn't apply. No real mention of why the Red Priestess just accepted death after either. I figured she used most of her power to light the swords and trench but still would have liked some type of resolution. I just hope Bran maybe gives more information at some point.
Right now, the theories about Bran becoming Bran the Builder and then maybe the Night King is actually more interesting than the show ended up being.
Now there will be an episode building to Episode 5 battle. I bet the Battle for the Iron Throne will be pretty cool also. Then Episode 6 will be the conclusion of the Battle and the final ending or maybe the battle will be over in Episode 5.
I honestly wonder how many people are left after the Battle at Winterfell. The Golden Company + Lannister army + Euron Greyjoy fleet should be more than enough even with 2 dragons on Dany's side. The opening credits also show the big scorpion that almost took out a Dragon with Bronn firing it from the wagon. You would think that they have had time to have plenty built to defend Kings Landing.
That's true. I think Yara kills Euron. I kinda wish Euron was a little like the book version. I haven't read all the books but from what I gather Euron is a dabbler of black magic and has been educated by the warlocks with the night shade blue lips to show for it.
Y'all are confusing me with all this reading nonsense...
I expected Arya to make a huge kill at some point, but I thought she'd be sneaking into King's Landing for that job. Hope she's not done. She's become one of my favorite characters.
Are the dragons ok? I know at least one was, but not sure both were. Was that clear by the ending?
I expected a few more minor character deaths this past week, but I knew all the "big" characters (Sansa, Jon, Arya, Bran, Tyrion, Jaime, Dany, Brienne) would live. They've got to be around for the battle for the Iron Throne. Looks like they've definitely thrown out the prophecies relating to the Night King in the show. Now I'm more convinced than ever that the show & the books will be significantly different. I originally thought they were heading to the same ending but would get there different ways. Now that the prophecies are out the window for the show, I think they're heading somewhere different. They're making changes for surprise value now. GRRM isn't going to toss it out.
I just kinda want to see this happen. During the fight at Kings landing, Jon and danys army is getting smashed, but at the end Dario Naharis comes in to save the day with those dang elephants that Cersei didn?t get. To make it even better, have Jaqen Hagar have taken the face of a higher up in essos to take command of the elephants. That exact situation seems implausible, but I definitely think the elephants come into play in the battle.
The battle with the dead was what I looked forward to the most so I'm pretty disappointed it ended in 1 episode without the night king even using his sword
