Bran's already deactivated the magic in the wall, so it's just a case of the actual physical boundary holding up now.

Ghost is still at Winterfell with Jon. And Ellaria murdered Cersei and Jamie's daughter. And in answer to your no. 6… it's very much a case of 'he was poisoned by his enemies'.

I wonder how long all those Lords will stick around at Winterfell for.

It's a rule in storytelling that if you have a prophecy, then it must either (1) Be the thing that causes the events to unfold that fulfil it (works best with the tragic ones), or (2) Be subject to an ironic twist when we find out that the devil is in the details.

I did think that the line he delivers to her "I'm not letting good wine go to waste on a bloody woman." was a little too Walder-y for Arya to come up with on the spot.

"The Wall has to come down, but I don’t think the show has really set up a method of doing this. Has it?"

I really doubt he's ever going to finish them. The show overtaking him has probably taken a lot of the wind out of his sails as has his increased mainstream fame (bringing new opportunities rather than locking himself in a room to do the same thing he's been doing since 1991).

Mel's gonna have some memories in that place … of course those memories become much more disturbing when you replay them without her glamour spell.

It's a valid point. We have pretty good reason to suspect that the wall will be broken through based on the fact that Bran has carried the Night King's mark through it, breaking the spell… but no one else (including Jon) have any reason to suspect otherwise.

Because we already saw what the Hounds sees in the vision in the scene after the opening credits.

This show – I believe – has never done a flashback, unless it's told from Bran's POV.

If he does know/suspect anything, that's pretty much the biggest truth bomb in Westerosi history. He ain't gonna waste it by hinting at it in small talk.

He can't expect the northern houses to be fine making peace with the Free Folk if he's not willing to at least attempt the same with the Lannisters. It'll probably be pointless (especially while Cersei's on the throne), but he might be able to reach Jamie.

That's not his real name… although that's not much better: Bryan Ray Trout. Skeet was a nickname given him by a coach that kinda stuck and Ulrich was a stepfather's surname. I assume he used that combo because the Screen Actors Guild doesn't let you register unless you have a unique name.

You know that scene wasn't supposed to be a twist. We saw Arya kill Walder Frey at the end of last season, so it was instantly apparent that it was Arya.

Maybe they could, but I would assume that it's pretty vital that they be able to bring the wights with them. The White Walkers have – at best – around 100 to their number and an army with dragonglass arrows would be enough to take them down alone. We've seen from that scene in the cave that the magic makes the wights…

Symbolism: I'm not here to rule; I'm here to conquer.

I do love moments like that… and Misandrei, Grey Worm and Tyrion trying to tell jokes to each other.

From that scene, I can tell for sure that he didn't believe that Lyanna had been taken against her will.

A valid flaw in my theory. Unless his thought that he could easily undermine the northern alliance once it had defeated House Bolton.
