I have a billion thoughts but here's 3:
1) Like everyone else I'm sad at the prospect of so many fave characters dying, but I'm so happy I've only read the first 3 books. As soon as the show ends I will read books 4 and 5. Then there's 6 and 7 ... some day, perhaps. When I'm in a rocking chair. I'm 32 now.
2) No way the NK is defeated in ep 3. Not a chance. Just think about all the teasers, all the promo material. Heck, I had become convinced the entire season would revolve around the living vs the dead and nothing about the Throne. I've adjusted that a little. Currently I think it might go: ep 3 battle, things looking BAD for the living; ep 4 some aftermath/story clean-up, ep 5 battle and the magic happens, the living wins, ep 6 the throne and final story payoff.
3) I get that a lot happened, but I'm surprised how little discussion/speculation has come from Dany's reaction to Jon's news. At least on Reddit, I haven't read every page of this thread.
