That said, I am pumped to see what Dany becomes with Tyrion's cynical, yet brilliant understanding of Westeros and people in general.
Modified your post a bit. He is going to be an awesome advisor. Being an advisor to a leader who is willing to listen to him and doesn't look down on him (figuratively speaking) and is charismatic/dynamic, but unskilled in the art of politics, is freaking perfect for him.
Everyone else in his life either ignored him, hated him, thought they could do it better, or simply gave him little/no respect. Really only Varys saw the potential. [Reply]
Oh, and in the discussions about the lack of victories for the characters, this episode was extremely satisfying. Tyrion's storyline definitely felt like a victory for him (and has fully surpassed the book now, thankfully). Arya is also progressing, and Cersei's punishment also feels like a victory.
Plus, the awesome battle (albeit an overall loss) at Hardhome was like the icing on the cake that is twice as good as the cake. [Reply]

In other words, the Night King is a Stark... [Reply]

The battle at hardhome is an addition, correct?
My recollection is that the ships made it to hardhome and back with no issues. If so, nice add. [Reply]
Amazing episode. Loved watching that battle. The addition of that battle and Tyrion with the Queen was a great change from the books. Although Tyrion with the Queen will probably happen eventually in the books as well. [Reply]
Another really interesting twist I've read: The Night's King was the 13th in command. Coincidence that there are 12 men behind him in this picture? I think not.

But yes, the battle is an add.
That's right; this is something of a merged plot point, isn't it? The wildlings that were settling the gift were just out there in the woods; the ones at Hardhomme were a different lot that Jon sent the boats out to pick up.
So I guess there could still be a massive battle at hardhomme, we just haven't seen it yet. [Reply]

I am interested to see where Sansa goes now that she knows that her brothers aren't dead.
Briene will have a new mission. I also hope to see the Bolton/Baratheon battle go a bit further this season. Could be asking a lot with 2 episodes left.
At least we won't have to wait 6+ years for it to continue. [Reply]

I'm interested to see what Ramsay has planned with his 20 troops. [Reply]
Who else was hoping to hear about the Zombie Mountain when Qyburn went to Cersei? I think that was his hint when he said "the work continues." That would be an excellent end to the season, though I think Jon's death will be the actual ending. [Reply]

That's exactly what I was hoping when he walked in.
Can she go with trial by combat at this type of trial? Does it work that way with trials run by the church? [Reply]
