The little twat can't see the future. Only past and present.

Hmm. I shall Google.

The show hasn't explicitly stated whether or not Bran can actively see into the future, but we do know that he's had visions of it before. In season one, he has a dream that predicts his father's death. Then, in season six when he becomes the Three-Eyed Raven, he sees the explosion of the Sept of Baelor before Cersei even sets her plan in motion. That proves that he can see future events, but neither instance verifies whether or not he can harness this ability in the same way he's become a master at warging and visiting the past. Remember, the former Three-Eyed Raven dies before he can fully prepare Bran to use his abilities. That could explain why the Lord Stark is so odd these days. For quite some time now, Bran hasn't quite been Bran.

So ... kinda?

Yeah I think at least a handful of our characters are goners.     You can probably bank on Beric.    I think Hound is safe for plot armor for Mountain time but who knows.    I don't feel like Brienne will die or Jaime.    Tormund I'm feeling like he will die.    I think another dragon may die.   I think Lyanna may actually die and Jorah will be safe.   

I'm still getting the feeling Dany is going to be a villain in the end but not sure, the show is trying to throw us through loops.  

Dany gonna turn her back when she could save Jon. That’s how she will be the villain. She loves Jon but she knows he is a threat to throne and she has made it clear that is what she cares about most. Jon gonna die which is now in her best interest. 

Late to the party here but just got done watching the latest episode and absolutely loved it.

Exactly my theory but I think it goes further. Somebody will see Dany's betrayal. They will kill her for it. This sets up an interesting set of events all centering around Gendry being the heir to the throne and the show returning (almost) to where it was to start.

I think the thing is that the Night King has similar abilities so it's a chess game between the two.    He was able to mark Bran in one of his visions for instance.    The future probably keeps getting changed between the two of them and they also need to know WHERE to look, etc.

another thing that confuses... when Bran spoke about luring the Night King out to get him.  He made a comment about how the Night King had done it before with many prior 3 eyed ravens.  makes me think the conclusion will just essentially be a reset where the whole thing plays over again with different folks

alright, I know I am really late to the party this week, but here goes...

I got legit teary-eyed with the Theon/Sansa scene and Brienne's knighting. So good. So many feels.

This episode was one of the best ones ever imho. They've pretty much tied up every reunion loose end, and got most of the redemption arcs set up/completed.

The Ghost scene was lame AF. At least we got to see he's still alive, I guess.

I haven't read many concrete spoilers for anything else left in the season, other than the Tyrion betrayal and trial (which I am still not 100% sure is legit.) But, moving forward, here are my thoughts:

I don't think the Night King is going to be at the battle Winterfell. I could be wrong here, but I read a pretty interesting theory that maybe he's sent the bulk of his army to Winterfell to attempt to take out Bran while he flies down to Kings Landing and makes his presence known. We've seen the White Walkers on horses, but you'd think we'd have seen the Night King in those closing moments last episode if he indeed was going to be present.

I think Bran can only see the past and present, and he has to know where to look. I think his future sight is more unreliable, much like Melisandre's visions in the flames. He can see pieces of a puzzle, but he has to assemble them correctly or his interpretation might be flawed.

I'm still not sure what to think about the crypts. The dead there are pretty much all decayed, as has been mentioned. I'm not even sure if Ned's bones are there, as I seem to remember them never making it there. There could be a dragon down there, I suppose, but I doubt that. I think the roots of the Godswood Wierwood tree are way down in there, and I think that is important in the books, but not so much on the show. I really think maybe the dead just make their way into the crypts. Either that, or some barrier actually prevents them from doing so, although it does appear from the trailer that Arya is running from SOMETHING in a place that looks like the crypts.

Only 4 episodes to go. I think Jon doesn't want the throne, so I don't think he'll be at odds with Dany about it.

If I had to guess who is going to die, I'd bet on these people dying the next episode:

Grey Worm
Tormund
Edd
Beric

Others I think will die later in the season:
Tyrion
Cersei
Jaime
Theon

As for Azor Ahai, my candidates in order are:
Jon
The Hound
Sam
Jaime
Jorah
 

[Arroz con Panther]

I think Jaimie kills Cersei after those who escape the battle make it back to King's landing. Jaimie, seeing the horror coming their way, trys to convince Cersei to join their fight. She refuses, he sees her for what she is, and kills her.

That, or during their conversation, Euron hops out and stabs Jaimie in the back.

@Bronn

 

The Hound being Azor Ahai would be so poetic with him wielding Lightbringer unafraid.

[Moorgan]

Agree with Bronn with almost everything he wrote. People I think will die in 5 days:

Theon

Jorah

Berric

Grey Worm

Brienne

Tormund

Ghost/Nymeria

And I want to say Arya but I think that's how Nymeria dies. I think if the Night King is at the battle, the super weapon that Arya had made will....miss. You definitely spend episode after episode portraying her as a bad ass to set up the killing stroke and you definitely throw that moment for a twist by having her miss.

About the whole "repeating itself" purgatory theory. What if the end of the series does show the Walkers wiping out humanity (on Westeros at least) and it cuts to the future and shows a Septa telling a bed time story to a young lord about "The Long Night". Similar to the scene with Bran in season 1. Just an interesting thought I haven't fully put together. I just want the ending to be MORE than just the typical ending of a medieval fantasy show.

I'm going to be so sad if/when Ghost dies. I'm totally team Ghost. Lol.
