it's strange. radiohead fans seem to think only the stuff they like is important and relevant. the foos are fun, entertaining and prolific and don't take themselves seriously like radiohead fans whose opinions are garbage opinions.

just watch. he's going to play a big role in this week's ep.

ok, that's some good speculation, but I still say that north of the wall has been really fucking cold for centuries. I'm betting that it was just sloppy writing and not a metaphor for mankind's impact on the environment.

so, why isn't anyone talking about how Varys is going to betray Dany? the back of his bald head was prominent in the previews. He's losing faith in the mother of dragons - but who is the alternative? he can't be turning back to Cersei, unless his whole Essos adventure was just a ruse to get back to Kings Landing…

yeah! why?!?

yeah, I guess. all the more stupid.

that could be the twisty part. maybe Sam is Azor.

that, or he and gilligan wanted to live out their life in paradise (the early 60s weren't a good time for closeted gays)

you can build a radio out of a coconut, but you can't repair a boat with all the lumber on the island.

so, white walkers appear to be immune to fire… we've seen several instances of them walking through fire, right?

answer: Yes. that is how the army of the dead will be defeated. in some plot twisty way. bank it.

6 episodes left after this season.

If she was at eastwatch, there'd have been no reason to capture a wight. she could have just flown over and seen the entire dead army.

sure, I'm a whiner, but your method is still flawed. that lake has been in sub-zero weather for centuries - if it was too weak to hold wights at first, it will always be too weak to hold them.

"straining plausibility" I don't think that phrase means what he thinks it means.

I think we can safely predict that there will be an existential battle between the dead and the living, things will look hopeless for a bit and then somehow, someone - probably whoever is Agar (sp) reincarnated - will shiv the night king and it'll be all over. why else would they introduce that point this episode?

I think it was pretty much implied it was only overnight - but even if it were a week, the ice would not have frozen as or more solid than it had been before they got there.

as I said elsewhere, I'm starting to think the dany/tyrion/jon braintrust isn't deserving of the iron throne. they're pretty dumb.

true enough. I imagine he's going to be pissed when they make the announcement. timelines are hazy, but considering all the time jumps, she's probably showing by now. maybe he hasn't seen her since he brought in Yara and the sands.

I'm not an 'expert', but I hadn't heard that.
