    Not been able to come on to react

    Finale was exactly the script that I read last week but still enjoyed it

    Think there have been flaws in this season but loads of badassery and cool **** too

    He's supposed to be a Stark in the books. The 13th Lord Commander of the Nights Watch.

    Either way, he's somehow related/connected to Jon.

    I thought that one of the WW looked like Viserys at one point.

    Twas ok... the best of the series was the unspoiled battle where bron was main man. Brilliant work with camera.

    Little finger was telegraphed. I would rather have had him leaving for the big meet suggesting he was still involved then salsa having him hauled off his horse and killed.... it was actually weak for the scene it could have been.

    The Dragon death was good but someone on here spoiled the bear... I also think reading scripts spoils it for you as well.

    The wall falling actually somehow didn't have the desired impact. I don't know why... it just didn't.

    The best part of the whole First part was the dead lad with cercei. The mountain and hound stuff was stupid, felt wrong where it occurred.

    Over all.. first Dragon battle was epic, the over the wall stuff was a bit of aping the battle of bastards for where it was oh look at Jon... but the Dragon dying was ace.... the series was good, lots of fun stuff but it really just advanced the story a certain distance to set up the final season.

    I felt little fingers execution could have been far more..... well... built into the overall. It felt a minor thing of little consequence yet they piling the fault for everything that happened over 7 series at his feet.

    Also jamie leaving cercei wasn't well done either. It missed something. He jogs off in his own?nahhhhh

    That only stands to reason as the children stuck the thing in his heart.

    HOWEVER it makes little sense to have a wall to protect for the night watch and the 13th one becoming the threat thry are protecting from.

    It's some northern lad and the guy was around in the time of the first men.... if the wall art part is to be believed.....the first Dragon glass found in the show was left by first men.

    The Night King in the series and in the books (actually called the Night's King) are different. In the books the leader of the WW is yet to be mentioned.
    The Night's king (the 13th) fell in love with a woman who is described as have White Skin and blue eyes and is sometimes called a Corpse queen, suggesting she was a WW. He was also making sacrifices to the WW. So same name, different characters.

    I agree that he was just some guy, possibly a lord or a Stark descendent, that was grabbed by the Children. The Wall and the Nights Watch come afterwards.

    I know it keeps the story going but Cerseis plan makes no sense...the "we'll deal with whoever is left"...except if if the WW win there will be more left than there is now..the entire population of the North and every dead of the Dani army minus those burnt or Dragon glassed on each side....fair enough she doesn't know they have turned one Dragon and if they win would have 3 ice dragons at their disposal

    Not really, typical military tactics, shes thinking either white walkers will be weakened (presumably she doesnt know more dead people add to the white walker army) or that the north will be weakened and lose many men (and dragons). Then she will have the biggest army

    Except it was explained to her about the dead rising at the meeting by Jon. As she was also told the army of the dead was 100k strong. In her conversation with Jamie she accepts it's all truth but doesn't care. Instead thinks adding a mere 20k of golden troops to her already outnumbered army will somehow turn the tide. While this might be tactically sound if certain Dani & Co prevail ...the whole point of the summit was that neither would prevail if not allied temporarily to meet the threat.

    Typical military tactics are already accepted as inapplicable in those two conversations...which is pretty much what her brother the actual military man tells her even if his reason for leaving is honour.

    So far a calculating character this seems particularly stupid.

    Would it not have been better to go along, holding the golden company secretly in reserve.. and at the moment of victory against the WW...set upon the rear of her "allies"?
