RBG was written and storyboarded by Graham Falk.

And then the Walkers turned on them because goddamn Ice Demons can't be trusted.

It's already been confirmed that Jaime is leading the Siege of Riverrun this season, so my thinking is that the conflict will be more them crossing paths again and being on opposing sides.

There was narrative progress. Bran's learned the real consequences and gravity of his vision powers, and we got the big revelation of how all this shit started in the first place, where the Walkers came from.

I'm thinking hoping that part of the idea is that Bran needed to get enough experience in to be able to have the visions without help, after having it instilled in him that he can't stay too long.

Could probably transfer that over to Hela? And then that would hopefully fit into her being a composite with Death and serving Death's role in the Infinity War/Thanos story.

I get that, and I think they're doing a solid job on laying the groundwork, structuring and pacing, etc. The Battle of the Bastards will be a very satisfying climax for the season and payoff to everything in Ramsay we've put up with, but I think his tenure on the show has outlasted the run it should've had. He's just…

Hardhome probably took a fair amount too.

I know you never fucked a bear, they know you never fucked a bear, you know you never fucked a bear, so shut the fuck up about the fucking bear.

I think it's more likely he's going to lash out in some fashion and cause further escalation of the Faith Militant/Cersei tensions.

I very much love the thought and effort put into this, especially the nature of death completely specific to this series and its universe, and I agree with almost all of it too, I just feel the need to respond to one thing: I absolutely did not say that Normal Man's arc here goes against the ending of Floaties or its…

I'm super torn. I love Normal Man's arc being completely finished in such a positivistic and satisfying way, I love having such a great and thematically perfect sendoff for JMoyn, and I love the episode in general for everything. But I have two things that hold me back a little in my enthusiasm.

He'd be more likely called by the Wakandan name M'Baka.

Pride was a lot of fun!

It's not strictly the experience of all queer folk though, and that's okay too!

Yeah, him popping up somewhere would be fun but has no real narrative place at this point, in TWS, Civil War or likely going forward. I remember when there were people who thought Thanos in the first Avengers stinger was Red Skull.

I assume Natasha was referring to the story she recounted in TWS of having an opposing-sides, near-fatal run-in with the Winter Soldier during an old mission.

As much as I enjoyed Weaving as Red Skull, that would do way too much to actually undercut what TWS does in the way people claim that the Hydra reveal does. It's vital that Pierce, Sitwell and many others are Americans from far after Hydra's initial form who equally embrace its ideals as further conveyance of what…

The final conversation in Winter Soldier is going directly off Bucky escaping and everything immediately preceding that in regards to their interactions, it's not about an unrelated mission at all. "I'm going to be looking for him, it's going to be difficult and could take ages. You don't have to help me."
