Yes. There was only one - Jon snow. That was the whole reason he was brought back from the dead
Maybe, maybe not.
As it turns out, it looks like Beric was brought back several times to help keep Arya alive.
He was born amidst smoke and salt? He was the one to "wake dragons out of stone"?
Okay, pardon my ignorance... but shouldn't something have happened to Arya from the NK merely touching her? The NK touched the (live) baby and it turned, and touched the (dead) dragon and it turned... Bran was touched and did not turn, but that was during one of his vision periods. I don't recall any other NK touches. Am I missing something?
This post will be the last I'll spend on it, but if it WAS someone else they should've at least explained that. Instead we get the lazy but rewarding moment of Arya jumping out of the shadows.
No lightbringer etc etc
He was a targaryen. That was the real key to the whole r+l=j reveal. The throne was just a side portion of that
He was and that's why she didn't bring him back again.
Like I said above if there was some other explanation - that's one thing. But to just shred it all without mention is just disappointing

Ok but nowhere in your answer does it state how Jon Snow fits all the criteria to the prophecy. I’m willing to listen, but you won’t back it up with any evidence. And if you bring up evidence then I’ll probably be like “ok good point”.
Also, give it time. Still 3 episodes left and it could turn out that it is Jon. One thing that I can guarantee you is that the prophecy will not be exactly what you expect. Give them time to explain.
arya Is going to sneak in as Euron and rip his face off and be all like haha time to die Cersei but then Cersei will rip her face off and be the night king
He is a targaryen which means he would be one of the dragon riders. He was brought back by the Lord of light (the entire reason melisendre existed in the book). He has kings blood. I'm sure there are others I forget.
Maybe it was supposed to be someone else. But if so, they should've fleshed that out instead of just scrapping it. It was almost certainly Jon though as that was the key significance of rl=j to begin with.
I just don't see that storyline ever getting closure. Would just be wildly out of place at this point, since his entire existence was to defeat the wights.
Even if it was supposed
I have read the books twice.
I think you (bigblueinsanity) have read the ASOIAF reddit way too much.
Maybe Azor Ahai or the Prince that was Promised just isn't **** but red herrings?
There are a **** ton of prophecies in the book from Quaithe to Patchface and on and on.
The army of the dead is OP. You could never win a real battle against them except by killing the NightKing and then poof, they are all gone.
So last night it was either going to be a slaughter of all characters or the NK was going to die.
Sit back and just enjoy the show and stay off the tinfoil.

I visited Reddit about three times in my life. None of which for got.
I agree maybe it WAS an incorrect prophecy or something else. They should've just explained it rather than ignoring it.
And then the Night King will rip his face off and it will be Scratch.
Excellent post. I think too many GOT fans try to put too many theories within the show that it just becomes dull.
Well give them a chance. Arya killed the NK and the episode ended. Maybe it will be addressed next week.
I really don't think the Night King / White Walker arc is complete yet.
Bran warging with no real explanation for the entire end of the battle, the extended stare down between him and the NK before Arya jumps him. We got one sentence from Bran regarding the NK's intentions in the last episode and a shiv from Arya that supposedly ends the threat that has been the foundation of the entire story from the opening scene of the show. It just feels hollow to me.
I think they're also setting this up for a serious conflict between Jon and Dany as to how to deal with Cersei or a disagreement on something that has to happen during the battle at or near KL.
Thought the episode was really well done, but I'll withhold any judgment on the writing until we see how this all ends.

The Night King reacted oddly to Bran, as if he didn't understand something.
Probably wrong but wasn't Renly already dead by the time she got Gendry? I thought his blood was going to be used for the battle of black water??
Yes he was. The shadow that killed renly was conceived by Stannis and Melisandre banging
Yes. Couldn't tell if that was just his MO or what. He took his time killing the old 3 eyed Raven too.
After the thrones brought up a good point - the night king had at least two chances to kill Jon but didn't. Is that significant? Who knows
Had to be awkward between Arya and Melisandre after last week with Gendry
Next week's cold opening shot of the Tormund/Brianne/Jaime sandwich is going to riveting television.
I thought that was because she was having trouble focusing on her spell with a million Rick Pitinos bearing down on her.
The charge with the lit swords was cool and I knew what would happen but what a waste of fighters.
You are correct. I don't remember why they were going to use Gendry's blood, though. Were they just testing to see if it was King's blood, to make sure he really was Robert's bastard before killing him? I can't remember.
I took it that the WhiteWalker's magic was preventing it from lighting. He was actively putting out the arrows and other means of lighting it.
She knew it was kings blood. She used it for dark magic to aid in the deaths of the usurpers. Every leech she burned represented a purported ruler.
Like a GoT voodo doll
Wonder GRRM has a different ending to the NK for the books and the show writers went with a SJW ending.
Just like Akbar should been the hero.

Exactly. She threw the leeches in the fire afterwards right? I think one was for Rob Stark, another Joffrey maybe? Cant remember the third.
Theres a theory floating around that Bran was warging back in time during the battle to change things to ensure the best outcome in the battle. Giving Arya the dagger, bringing beric back to life, Telling the red witch to learn how to conjure fire, etc
Well considering the fact that the Night King doesn’t even exist in the books, I think you might be on to something.
Soo..did arya shift into a walker?
Also..brown, blue, green... Cersei has green eyes.. will she fall to aryA

The episode was good, yes. But I just can’t get over the NK and the walkers all dying without ever really knowing what they truly wanted. We really know no more about the Night King now than we did years ago. Not only that, not a single Walker fought in the episode. It was all wights. This should have been the final war. The NK is way more interesting than Cersei and her pissing match over the throne. It just doesn’t feel right that the scariest, baddest motherfer who has lived and killed with magic for hundreds of years is killed by a single danger poke from a young girl who just popped her cherry. I’m fine with Arya being the killer but how it was done was ********. Just lazy *** writing and it seems like they just want to wrap this show up in the most vanilla way possible. There were zero twists.
I’ll only be satisfied if we seeing ice slowly start forming back into the NK and the walkers as the heroes are making their way south. The NK and the walkers only for a surprise attack on the remaining living in the finally episode. But since that’s too awesome it won’t happen.
