That was seriously one bad ass GOT tonight.

[trumad]

Wow...Fing White Walkers... don't think I'd want to have a beer with them.

1. And their army just gets bigger

Interested to see who is going to die before the season wrap up.

[Silver Gaia]

2. Yes, it was!

I wasn't expecting any of that! Awesome battle scene!

[FarPoint]

8. Fantastic!!!!

Major epic battle! This show will go down in history as a classic. I heard rumors that Benjin Start was going to appear.... Could he of been the man in the boat with Jon and the Crows who was shrouded, wore a hoodie? The boat was departing and we were all freaked out watching the giant and the White Walker King..I went back and looked but didn't see a face.

That stare down between Jon and the Night King was frightening.

3. What's Ramsay going to do with his 20 man commando team?

Kidnap someone--Stannis? Melisandre?

4. My guess is that his theory is

that if you take enough key personnel and flay them and put them up on posts for all to see, you will get a pretty good chunk of people that will say "Fuck this; I'm out." Plus, as he alluded to, that also lets the rest of the North know that they need to put away any thoughts of rebellion.

5. How will the season end?

They need another big death.

My guess is Cersei is on trial by combat...enter the Mountain..,.but do viewers really care if .Cersei lives or dies at this point?

Just don't kill Jon or the Imp.

[Ilsa]

6. Or any more Stark offspring, not just Jon. nt

[FarPoint]

7. Tyrion is Martin's favorite character.

I don't see him dying anytime soon. I think the Mountain will be a shocking character to be seen by episode 10....I'm clueless as to what he will be...Westros Frankenstein. Cersei has been on my list ever since she demanded Lady be killed. Lady was Sansa's direwolf.

9. Choice

Trial by combat Tommen has to choose to spare his mother or his wife. He chooses his wife.

Just a prediction.

[FarPoint]

11. You could be in to something.

I think the Mountain will appear....as what, well who knows?

[whatthehey]

10. Well they are departing from the books more and more

But there is one high profile death, or at the very least probable death in a Julius Caesar sort of attack, of a major character to go if they follow that arc. And in the books they built up a possible path for (sort of) survival/resurrection but that is missing on TV too.

Personally, ever since Stannis unleashed his inner grammar nazi, a wonderful TV-only flash of personality for a famously grim and taciturn character, I'm rooting for him, but he's likely not cute enough to be the TV image-centric winner, which seems to be setting up a Jon-Danaerys collision course where he (and this is conspiracy theory stuff even for the book readers, but the clues are there) finds out he's really a Targaeryen bastard not a Stark bastard

13. I'm a fan of the Lynna and Rheygan love child.

I believe they were married too....Is Jon the Promised Prince?

I even speculate that the 3 dragon riders will be Danaerys, Tyrion and John....

[mainstreetonce]

14. Wasn't young Bran

Promised that he would fly?
I see him as a dragon rider.

[FarPoint]

17. Yes....

So, that adds to the mix ..he won't ride the dragon but, will he warg with one?

[FarPoint]

12. Some random thoughts....

Shire, Stannis's daughter was cured of greyscales....Jorah now has them.....maybe this was brought into the storyline as a lead in to Jorah not dying this season of greyscales....That said, he appears to want to go out with a hero battle kind of death for his Queen.

15. Questions

Is Arya's "needle" Valyrian steel?

Is Danaerys capable of mothering more dragons if she walks into fire?

I just read an interesting article that says don't think about the theme as a "Game of Thrones"
Martin's theme for the whole series is "a Song of Ice and Fire"

We should be taking careful note of what Sam is learning from reading the history of how survival happened in ancient times.

[Goblinmonger]

16. My take

I don't think it is, but I could be wrong. Jon gave it to her, so it could be.

She would need the eggs. She went into the fire with the eggs and they hatched in the fire.

I've always seen the "Game" and the overarching plot arc. Kind of like what Danaerys calls the wheel in the last episode.

I love Sam and I think you are right.
