About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...

Hey, there's a new crazy idea. Maybe Bran warged into the ice Dragon to keep Jon from confronting the Night King in some suicidal head to head attack.
It would at least show that Bran was doing fucking something at that time. [Reply]

:-) Hasn't it been 8 years since a new main series book came out? He ain't ever finishing. [Reply]

Turned to my wife last night and said "Ultimate twist; Bran wargs into Rick Grimes and somehow brings him to Winterfell." [Reply]

Yep. Eight years.
One of two possibilities here, IMO.
1. He's got them both finished, and will release them after the show has concluded.
2. Fuck you, fuck me, and fuck everybody else, because he's a filthy rich procrastinating prick who doesn't give a shit about what anybody wants and is tired of being pestered.
Personally, my money's on 2. But I hope it's 1. [Reply]
Not super spoilery, but I'll put tags on, just in case.
Spoiler!
You just have to accept the fact that Arya is good at stealth/sneaking up on people. They've gone out of their way to note a few times before last night.
Dave and Dan said in the after the episode update that basically the Dothraki were wiped from existence, and tons of the Unsullied are gone. I don't think Dany has the upper hand like she once did.

I thought Bran warging was to draw the Night King to him, where they were supposed to trap him with the dragons. They improvised and it all went to shit... but in the end, Arya saved the day.
Every single tactic the living used failed. The Dothraki charge to hit and run, drawing them out. The initial stand to then pull back and then use fire. The use of walls, the trap with the dragons, the hiding of the folks in the crypt, the dragon breath failing to do the damange on the NK, etc. EVERYTHING failed to the point it was meant to feel hopeless until the single stroke from lil ms. Stark. [Reply]
In the first episode of the season when Jon is in the godswood, he’s asks Arya, “How did you sneak up on me?” They’ve subtly dropped those hints that she’s pretty much gone full assasin. And in this episode she comes out of nowhere in the godswood to get to the NK. Not a coincidence. [Reply]

I would love for that to be the case. I gave up all hope after he cruelly teased fans on a new release (before Season 6) and it turned out to be another encyclopedia on the Targaryen dynasty. [Reply]
