During the Sansa/Tyrion sequence in the crypt there was supposed to be a sudden reveal of her being mortally wounded and Tyrion holds her hand as she dies but D&D are cuckmasters.
Expect a PG rated ending based on the lack of big GoT moments in Episode 3.
The preview for next week is all "Let's kick some ass!!" Marvel comics type stuff.
"How much ass we gonna kick?!"
"A lotta ass!!"
"Hell yeah lets kick some ass!"
"We'll kick ass together!!"
Literally the finale storyline is so bad I don't know what could save it. Its an "ass kicker" show now which is the furthest thing from the GoT brand.

I wouldn't mind that, honestly.
First choice was everyone dies. Since that's not going to happen, lets go with Sansa/Tyrion having some practical arrangement. It helps that over time the characters are shown to be decent to one another in a story about indecency.
I took the melsiandre thing as the obvious "she was kept alive, like Boros, for this specific night. And now that the NK is dead there's no need for them to continue living." I think Melisandre had one scene a few seasons ago where she even longed for death. But I might be making that up or severely over-emphasizing it.

What’s possibly worse is that Dany is looking oh so smug in the preview, suggesting there’s still no real acknowledgement of the whole Jon is the real heir. Maybe I’m wrong, I hope I’m wrong , but three episodes left and the biggest swerve in the entire story is still almost completely ignored and inconsequential. I’m at a loss as to the purpose of not just making him Neds bastard who overachieves. He wasn’t the ice and fire who ends the threat of the NK and unless he sits the iron throne at the end of it all then who fucking cares that he’s Aegon Targaryen, it hasn’t mattered at all.

I do have a big problem with Beric & Melisandre's "this is what they were brought back for" situations.
If the Lord of Light keeps you alive for a purpose, then discards you... what's Jon been brought back for if not to kill the NK? And will Jon die once his purpose is fulfilled?
It's an idea brewing that leads me to believe after they win, Jon will "die" and it'll be that bittersweet victory GRRM was shooting for.

LOL. I had to look up if anyone named their child Cersei. Found this:
American parents invented 1,100 new baby names last year
11 babies in 2017 named Cersei. 0 Arya or Sansa on that list.

'Game of Thrones': Maisie Williams on that Winterfell battle's shock ending
Exclusive: Maisie Williams, Kit Harington and director Miguel Sapochnik discuss that Night King twist.
Life pro-tip: If it feels like a bad idea right away, it's a bad idea. Don't sit around and convince each other it's really a good idea after all.

Tormund might be a fun name to give your kid if he's ginger.

the biggest problem is that, it wasn't the plan all along, in the context of the characters.'Game of Thrones': Maisie Williams on that Winterfell battle's shock ending

Like the obvious, Lord of the Rings. Gandolf, Aragon, etc, all go out and distract Sauron, while Frodo takes the ring up Mount Doom.
The Starks working together as a FAMILY to take down the Nightking would have been fantastic. A wolf pack. But they muddied that up badly. Bran being weird, not actually planning anything with anyone. Arya being secretive, needing a pep talk from Melisandra.
A simple talk with Bran and Jon or Sansa, with him saying, "i will be the bait, waiting here. He will come for me, and we'll be ready. we need you out there fighting the army. Sansa we need you in the crypts.. for some reason."
The wolves should have been in the grove with Bran. Ghost shows up, Nymeria and her pack show up, surrounding the NK and his Others. Then, Arya shows up.
Instead of Arya just being a magical super ninja.

I think my biggest problem with this is how incredibly localized this "apocalypse" was.
No one in Essos knows this even happened, no one south of Winterfell in Westeros would believe it was anything more than a silly story made up by drunk northerners to explain why part of the Wall fell down.
Hell Old Towne, the largest city by far in Westeros, is completely untouched by any of these things. Robert's Rebellion didn't change anything in Old Towne, nor did anything since Robert died or the whole White Walker business. From their point of view its just a normal year heading into a Winter period.

Yea I was thinking something along those lines would have been a lot better. Maybe after the Dothraki got wiped out they had an emergency meeting where they discuss how they cannot hope to win on the battlefield and their only remaining option is a surgical strike to take out the Night King (who is behind his armies like he should be). The Dragons could fly out a bunch of the main characters toward him, but crash somewhere near him. Then the group of heroes then has to fight their way towards the Night King, always rushing forward in a frantic way so they don't get overrun (providing good action scenes and chances for meaningful deaths) until they eventually make it to the Night King for the last battle. Maybe he's protected by that blue flame he does and Melisandre has some self-sacrificing way to get the heroes past of it. Arya would initially be left in the castle but Bran goes "Jon needs you, I see it" and she uses her face magic to sneak right through the middle of the undead army (creates some tense moments to see if her illusion holds, replacing the library scene)
Tense final battle between Jon and Night King (surrounded by Others) where Arya can eventually use her dagger throwing skills to off the NK.

Have you been reading this thread or watching this show? Bran served to verify Jon's heritage.
