I actually think it will be Bronn who kills her. Didn't know they hate each other in real life, that's funny.

They used to be a couple. It’s in her contract, that they will not have any scenes together. Also Bronn is not nearly as important in the books, which I think makes it less likely that he will kill her.

Bronn is in the books, it's just his story plays out differently. He gets elevated to a minor lord and when the books left off, he was causing some trouble for the Lannister faction in the background.

Very intense episode, with all the fighting, the dark light, the score. I really liked the scenes with Theon and Bran, and the first scene with the dothraki. The ending was predictable, but that’s not always a bad thing. I do think that if GRRM was writing this, it would have been a little more shocking/surprising.

I’m looking forward to what’s next now. Expect a lot of Cersei next episode.

Man, the Lyanna validation and Theon redemption just from what Bran said to him were my two favorite parts of the episode.

Yes, that’s true. It was poorly written on my part. It’s just that he feels almost like a different character here.

100% atonement by Theon. Even though Bran was like ‘nothing to forgive’.

The most brave thing he could have done. Reclaimed his manhood if you will. (Eh? ;) )

I hope all future deaths are handled so well and given that moment to land.

The supernatural aspect of the books/show has never been as interesting to me as the human drama. I'm glad the white walkers are done.

Very convenient that nearly all our heroes survived...
The Night King has mad spear throwing skills.
He’s missed the biggest dragon twice now actually.

I thought for sure that Drogon was a goner, that he was going to throw the spear out while the fire still burned around him. Then I thought he was going to be done again when the wights were all over him. Still surprised he's still standing/flying.

Theon was the best thing about this episode.

I was surprised too. But the plot needs him against Cersei.

They could maybe have started on it earlier, but I’m really glad we have three episodes after the Night King is dead.
