i really hope that we don't see a battle with the white walkers on a traditional battlefield with humans and the white walkers and their armies on separate sides to decide things. but it looks like it may be building up to that, with the shot of jorah at the end. it would seem too orthodox.

The lack of Others is also interesting. Everyone is expecting a big battle between WW, wights, and an undead dragon vs. humans and their two dragons (and Ghost, maybe). In a show known for swerves, it'd be one of the biggest swerves of all if that battle did not take place as expected. There are shots of the Unsullied arriving at and leaving Winterfell, and there are no shots of Dany or her dragons at the presumed Winterfell battle--are they someplace else? What if those dead-horse feet aren't an approaching army, but an emissary from the Others? (Think: Mouth of Sauron.) Maybe they're going to try and convince them to join the dead instead of opposing them? I'd be down for that.
I've thought for a long, long time that the White Walker battle won't be the "big battle" of the final season. My wife thinks I'm nuts, and maybe I am, but I think the White Walker battle will be early. They'll be destroyed and the "Final Battle" will between whomever lives and Kings Landing.

maybe that is what Arya was running from in the castle, though. That could be cool, some close combat with them.

But Arya's a badass. And she knows what to expect. And she's got Dragon Glass. Would the White Walkers really scare her that much? Or is it that she thought she could handle it but when she sees it up close, for real, it's too much?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS THIS TO START!

I doubt it is Jaime with the sword being on his left side. Usually you draw your sword opposite from you sword hand. After his hand cutting he wears it on his right hip

Wrong. Rules of legitimacy matter in this society.
As the war for the iron throne shows.
Even after the rebellion it was Robert who became king because the Baratheons are distant cousins of the Targaryens.
Orys Baratheon was Aegon the Conqueror’s bastard brother. Even with Robert’s claim being “backed-up” by a Targaryen grandmother, they still have the blood of the dragon in them.
I've been waiting for you.
Go on; do your duty

And the armor. I'm pretty sure that's the leader of the Golden Company, not Jamie.

Hair isn’t red/blue/grey enough to be Jon Connington and not silver enough to be Young Griff. Nor portly and balding enough to be Harry Strickland

Nope, sorry Anders. You are wrong. Mecca already said he's not bald enough. So, it's not him. Try again.

Goddamnit, also Melissandre. She's not there either. Which, makes sense... but also, she has that line to Arya about seeing her again. SO..... what's up with that?
