Something I just heard in a podcast that I feel like I should've noticed last night: where was Yohn Royce?

I don't think I saw him at all.

Would be epic.

It’ll be Tyrion. Valonquar prophecy comes true.

It explains why Cersei has attempted to kill Tyrion several times, she knows the prophecy. The other thing is that Tyrion’s mistakes in his plans were because he doesn’t go for the kill. He’s mentioned several times that everything he’s done was to protect the Lannister family. After the long chat with Bran and once he finds out there was another hit on him/Jaime any loyalty to the family name will go out the window.

Again, I don't particularly care and am doing this for pure amusement, but what does that have to do with cavalry tactics?

Hell, charging them into a horde of unscouted zombies in the black of night while carrying fire? Horses are spooked by ALL of those things! Darkness, smell of death, AND fire.

To reiterate, I don't really care.. but don't do that. Don't justify it for that reason. There's only one justification for it.

Battles on TV are done in a cinematic way for drama. The great scene with the lights going out one by one kinda requires stupid non-strategy. That's the only real reason it played out that way. Was it worth it? The strategy was bad, but the image of those lights going out was pretty damn unnerving. That's the battle a filmmaker has. Accuracy doesn't mean more interesting.

It does to ME because I'm a nerd about that shit, but most people don't read the books I do or give the slightest **** about such things.

How the last three episodes are going to play out...

"Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?”

Man I don't care what anyone says. I'm pissed as ****. I feel like I got cheated out of a badass one on one between the Night King and Jon.

The ending for the NK just feels so damn anticlimactic. I have no idea how I'm supposed to muster any care for who wins the throne. The Night King should have been the main event not Cersei's dumbass.

So annoyed right now.

It’s called Game of Thrones. Not Game of Zombies.

Given what the show did to the AA prophecy, does anyone expect the Valonqar theory to hold?

The army of the dead can be a threat without the main characters holding the idiot ball.

Yeah, for me, which is why I bring it up.

The average person doesn't know or care about that and won't notice him holding the idiot ball.

Just watch it for what it is and accept tHe story.

That was awesome. I was on the edge of my chair for an hour and a half and woke up exhausted from dreaming all night about fighting those bastards with a broken round shovel and a corn knife.

I'm surprised more characters aren't dead....but I'm assuming there isn't enough of any army left to put up a good fight.

Also....that many dead bodies is gonna stink like a mother.

Prediction:

The golden company will betray Cercei.

Agreed. Likely on orders from the Iron Bank.
