I don't think Jon takes on the ColdHands arc..

No, I think he invented it a few years back when he met Shae.

I think the Night's King can resurrect&control the dead but it's a package deal… I don't think he has power over the already resurrected. I do suspect that he (NK) can see and perhaps confine (Drown) Bran Stark in his visions

Shhhh… you're spoiling next week's main plot thread.

dead doesn't mean dead and all that… Bran's reaction would be priceless… He doesn't know about resurrection yet, right?

That's what I mean. Even Thorne never had an election… he was like I'm in charge… Some liked it some didn't. I think order and tradition died with jon… now it's just a Banana Republic

Can Jon really just "give" the title of Lord Commander to whoever he wants now? Like is it official that way?

Wasn't Olly the one who came to get him for the set up?

Olly was the guy… the true betrayal… the Frienemy… his hate was deep and bitter… he had to go.

UberMitch - "Hanged"

It has to be intentional right? I was thinking that it's possible all of this is about removing the "personal nature" of death and suffering from (vengeful) Arya's mindset… as opposed to actually become a permanent disciple of the many faced god… I mean… She can't resolve her story lines for us by "not caring…

They made it look like Sansa thought she was doing that when we knew she was still deferring her agency to Littlefinger. It seems that while he was selling his BS to her, much of the audience also bought it and when she played along they forgot that it was not her idea… she dreaded it, and wanted to run away when…

ask Jon? He knows she's dead he asked when Melesandra showed up…

They have had the same conversation previously with the guy that Dany executed… it's an on going theme in slavers bay and a glaring miss here.

Prequel…

I feel like if they were tricking him they would bend the knee… they seem pretty openly defiant and state out right that a common enemy is all that brings them here… also, we know what you did… I don't see why everyone saw this as Ramsay winning?

I like this… Perhaps this is where we see him meet the knights king. In the past before the wall… It's intriguing. the whole looping time thing

IDK… I think it makes the wars coming that much more important. live here, live now… because the "other side" is nothing but a story we tell to help normalize death. I think this very much motivates the returned Jon Snow.

Truth can only be told based on what one knows… Jon might be a cousin. But Arya knows him as a Half Brother. She's not Lying… she's incorrect.

Flashbacks like Cersie's are different because they are Point of View scenes being remembered by people. Brann is an unknowing third party which gives the audience a completely unbiased look at what happened. This also adds context to and insight into the Characters we've "heard" the stories from. It's not semantics,…
