    Ramsey Bolton series for me. Epic from top to bottom. Still enjoying it, but it has gone a little 'please everyone' like.

    most of them should be dead. Arya was a good choice but the whole 8 series of build up to an anticlimactic demise before even making it past winterfell was just disappointing. I guess it lived up to its expectation to be completely unexpected. Nobody expected every single major character to make it out alive and for the night king and his wight army to go down so easily. It would have been a much more intense finish to the story to have everyone battling it out for the throne whilst the night king is bearing down on them all. That whole plot line has just fizzled out like a damp squib. So much was put into building all that up, the mystique, hardly seeing anything of them for ages, the urgency once they appeared just to be swatted away like an annoying fly. I think they will make a return.

    and beric hardly saved Arya from those two walkers. He just got absolutely manhandled by two of them whilst the hound held off an entire corridor of them. Beric’s final role was more befitting of Sam, who should have been chopped into more pieces than a KFC chicken. The whole thing in the crypt was a shambles too. Everyone knew what was going to happen, it appeared none of the characters had even considered it. Caught totally unprepared, some pointless scenes and saved by the bell. I just don’t feel it loved anywhere up to game of thrones extremely brutal and well thought out standards.

    Possibly, but from the first season Arya has been taught and trained as an assassin or fighter. Syrio, her Hound road trip and the faceless men. Not least if all her first meeting with the red woman who told her eyes you will close forever. Including blue eyes. Lot of foreshadowing, in hindsight.

    Return? I have considered that, as a balance. For life there must be death? The demise of the night king so soon, hopefully sets the show up for the plotting and scheming that I really prefer. Season 7 was not as enjoyable for me as the previous ones, perhaps shown by my best recollection is they set a world record for setting stunt men on fire. I hope this season has more than the record for a battle scene.

    Sam is the one character who won't die, as he's the GRRM equivalent in this world, who will end up writing a book about the whole thing.

    He should've been down in the crypts though.

    I don't think it was that they never considered the crypts, but that it was still technically the safest place during the battle that the innocents could be placed - and when you look back, it kinda was, even after the dead rose.

    They absolutely won't return. Though the prequel series they're making is set during the first Long Night, so you should be able to get a decent bit of White Walker action there.

    There was buzz that Mr is not your bitch Martin was to play an aged Sam in the last scene. His, too busy writing to make a cameo, statement had me pissing myself. Yes, the crypts, one place Bran hadn't been since he got marked. And therefore the ancient spells supposedly woven into Winterfell would hold out. I o rethought that theory !!

    Especially as I'm avoiding clicking on spoiler buttons just in case episodes 4, 5 &6 have been leaked online.

    Well we should all make an agreement that anyone who spills about unreleased episodes will be hunted down and castrated.

    Was watching the cricket today (Yorkshire) and Mark Butcher basically said what happened! Got to be one of the hardest to avoid spoilers this one as it's everywhere on the internet too.

    Just watched Vice on a plane
    Story of Dick Cheney (played by Christian Bale, but you wouldn’t believe it) becoming Vice President of USA

    Absolutely brilliant
