Thoughts:

-Jaime and Bronn getting away was a total cop-out. Even if they are going to swim that distance everyone saw them.

-The looks Jorah was giving Jon lol

-Warming up to the idea the White Walkers won't be the last challenge, Daenarys keeps saying she wants to break the wheel but may continue it and would be a fitting ending

-The Gendry row joke we've all been waiting for! Awesome to see the hammer.

-While going north of the wall to get proof (not sure how the timeline will work considering how far they have to travel) is kind of dumb, next week's episode looks like it will be nothing short of amazing

Only 2 more

What a play by Littlefinger, this is what we've been waiting for from him. We expected it to be the Lysa letter or something but instead one Littlefinger wanted Arya to find.

Robb, I write to you with a heavy heart. Our good king Robert is dead, killed from wounds he took in a boar hunt. Father has been charged with treason. He conspired with Robert’s brothers against my beloved Joffrey and tried to steal his throne. The Lannisters are treating me very well and provide me with every comfort. I beg you: come to King’s Landing, swear fealty to King Joffrey and prevent any strife between the great houses of Lannister and Stark.

The one Sansa had to write. Will it work? Doubtful but good move.

I'm guessing they did. He gave it to little Sam just before they took off

I want to say Jon's true name, given by his birth parents (Rhaegar & Lyanna Targaryen) will either be Jaehaerys Targaryen or Aegon Targaryen.

Expect the next 2 episodes to be effing epic!

I guess I was a week early with my big white walker battle prediction. I should have known since it's always the second to last episode that has the huge fight in almost every season.

I loved the scene with Drogon and Jon. That was really cool.

Cersei is pregnant?! Didn't see that coming.

Bye bye Sam's relatives.

I knew we were about to see Gendry when Davos was walking around the city. That was a pretty good scene with the two guards at the boat.

I watched Ballers after GOT and it said Ballers was not on until 10:15 next weekend which reminded me of how long next week's episode is. Gonna be awesome I'm sure. I expect a few characters to die though.

But is Cersei actually pregnant? Scared her brother is betraying her, previously said they should consider giving in. A lie about that seems like a good way to manipulate Jaime.

Probably the most important line of the episode, in my opinion.

That group that went outside of the wall is literally the GoT version of Suicide Squad lol

Such a strange mix, Jon, Jorrah, Tormund, The Hound, Gendry, Barrick, Thoros lol

Brienne and Bronn would make it perfect.

I concur but that's what happens I guess when GRRM takes an eternity to finish his books. This show could have probably gone on for ten seasons had he finished the books. It feels so odd too. The seasons based on the books seemed to just beat you down over and over again. These past two though, the people you want to see die, die. The people you want to see win, win. Wonder if this is really how GRRM saw it going? I imagine he has a ton of input into where the show goes story wise.

I thought that was the coolest scene of the episode, all those characters finally coming together, don't necessarily like each other at all, but have to come together against a common thread. Really cool scene as you've watched the different journey of all of them individually and to see them come together.

Now that you say it, I agree. I don't like how travel of people in this season seems to be SO rushed, to an unrealistic standard. Maybe it has always been this bad, but it seems it would take 1 1/2 to 2 episodes for a character to arrive somewhere, maybe I'm wrong, just seems more noticeable this season.

Exactly what I was thinking to myself last night. So many reunions and moving parts in such a short amount of time. I'm also not a fan of the pregnancy angle. I guess the writers thought Jaime killing his sister wasn't tragic enough already. Let's throw an unborn child into the mix for good measure. It feels cheap.

I think that's what we're going to get since they have to wrap this thing up in just 13 total episodes between season 7 and 8. If it took 2 episodes for Jon to get to Dragonstone then another 2 to get up to Eastwatch they would never get this thing finished.

Brother in law and I were talking last night, he thinks they're going to find Lady Stoneheart while out there. Now I didn't read the books and I thought Martin said she wouldn't make an appearance, but does anyone else think this is possible at all?

Not even a slim chance. There's way too much going on to throw her in the mix at this point. If it didn't happen last season, it's not happening at all.

The only thing that doesn't seem rushed is the white walkers. They've been marching forever at this point, and now Jon and crew will hage time to go north and find them, get one and bring it back all the way to King's landing and I guess the white walkers will wait for them?

A lot of people think a dragon will help Jon next week, that might help it work.

My wife was wondering since that night king made those ravens fall out o the sky or something, if he could do that with a Dragon. Also, if a Dragon was killed, could he turn it into a undead dragon?

I do concur that the white walkers were NEVER rushed in this series, I enjoyed how infrequently they were referenced.

They've already confirmed they took her out of the TV storyline. It's one way they're keeping the books separate from the show. They might run into Benjen though
