Arya is running from the Starks that have risen in the Crypts they are hiding.

Of course my perfect ending will be a happy one, but given that GRRM stated that the ending will be bittersweet i'll go with this: One of Dany or Jon will perish, or even both, Dany's baby will be the Heir and will be raised and trained to rule by Davos and Tyrion. Jaime will be Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. The Night's Watch will be no more (without the Wall and the WW it won't be needed anymore). Cersei will be offed by Arya, and Arya will leave to travel and see the World. Gendry will be legitimised and will inherit Storm's End and continue the Baratheon line. Sansa will be Lady of Winterfell and Warden of the North. Bran will have a hero's death in the fight against the Others (will be a great help in defeating them). Samwell Tarly will be the ruler of Highgarden. Sandor, Tormund and Brienne will also die heroically in the fight against the Others.

Incredible episode, i enjoyed it a lot and gave it a 9, the montage of Rhaegar and Jon was perfect.

EmergencyAwesome made a great analysis of the episode and said that they were sitting there for more than 1 day if you pay atenttion to the landscape/weather. So that explains in a way how the raven and Gendry arrived in time.

As i said in the rant thread : GRRM must share part of the blame, when they started adapting the books to tv-screen i'm sure that they never thought he won't finish Winds of Winter until now. You can't expect D&D to write a good script in 1 year, when it takes GRRM more than 7 to write it down. At first they began by adapting a book to tv-screen, know they have to create from scratch, even though Martin told them how the books and the main storylines will end. Thankfully the quality of the CGI, the acting, the cast and so on keeps the emotion there for me, not so much for others though. They also have to fast-track everything, i don't think many people will have loved seeing Gendry spend like 2 episodes in getting to Davos.

Gave it a 10, best episode of the season so far, and time flied so quickly, fast paced and full of action. I loved it.

I gave it an 8, i liked Dany's interaction with Jon, i know they both lack diplomacy so that's why maybe the exchange felt awkward. Didn't like Bran's 3eyed raven rant.

A strong 8, the scene between Missandei and Greyworm wasn't needed but i guess they need to show some nudity, and also maybe it's the last time they see eachother. I don't think Greyworm will survive this season. I enjoyed the rest, loved Samwell's bit about Jeor and also Randyll saying "we don't stab kings in the back or cut the throats of our rivals at weddings"

Gave it a 7. Arya and Hound bits were the best, also Jon's speech to House Umber and Karstark.

In my opinion they made a big mistake with how they handled Ragnar in season 3 and in this one, i think that his death would have been even more impactful if he was in his full force and captured as a result of treachery or something like that. But now he was just a shadow of his former self, maybe they wanted to keep his legacy intact by ensuring he wasn't captured as a result of a lost battle. Anyway with all its ups and downs i still enjoy the show.

Great episode, rated it 9 because i wanted to see Ghost by Jon's side, everything else was perfect.

8/10 .

I agree it is poor writing, but it's not entirely impossible to survive those kind of injuries. I always wondered why they made the stabbing look so graphic ...

Really let down by this week's episode ...

Do you see also dragons and white walkers roaming around ?
