The arya scene shouldve been cut like a poster earlier said. In the show she's made to look younger than real life, so that part was uncool for obvious reasons.
For an episode with virtually no action it was actually quite good

I don’t think the dead Starks in the crypts are a concern. Weren’t they able to keep the one they trapped and brought to Cersei in a wooden box? If so then I don’t think ones trapped inside coffins are a danger.
I don’t either. I do wonder how tore up a corpse can be before the NK is like “ehhhh not worth it”.
Night King could be going to Kings Landing. Remember when Dany got there it was already destroyed and there was snow. Also in Brans image there was a dragon shadow over the city, but only 1 dragon shadow.
Just read a very interesting theory on Facebook: the little girl that Davos talked to who reminded him of Shireen was actually Melisandre.
There had to be some reason for it to ave been shown on screen. Seems like a good enough reason. She can’t be walking around looking all Melisandre-y or she gets her head chopped off. And she’s not dead yet, so she, along with damn near everyone else, must be at Winterfell somewhere.
That’s why I thought it made a lot of sense. She’s been the one from the very beginning who’s warned everyone of the threat of the WW’s, so naturally she’d want to be there for the battle. And she has no choice but to disguise herself until the battle actually begins. Plus she told Varys that she had to die in Westeros.
Here’s my theory: Davos insisted that the little girl be sent to the crypts. We saw in the trailer that Arya looked like she was running for her life in the crypts. Melisandre promised Arya they’d meet again. Boom.
She said she wanted to fight. Gilly says “I’d feel a lot safer if you were down there to protect me and my son”. So the little girls says ok she’ll go down and defend the crypt.
oh, the girl with the stone face stuff. forgot about her. she did seem a bit weird and strangely unencumbered.
What’s so stupid about it?
We know for a fact that:
1. she’s coming back
2. that she’ll die
3. She’ll cross paths with Arya before she dies
4. Arya looks like she’s in big trouble in the crypts
5. There’s dead bodies in the crypts
6. The Night King could bring those dead bodies back to life
any chance Arya has invited the "many face" killers to the castle? i know she did not leave them on the best of terms, but this is a fight for humanity. maybe some of them infiltrated the walkers???
probably a stupid line of thought but there are many of them!

I don't know anything other than the dead bodies in the crypt are not coming back to life. Those things have long rotted, if they could come back so could every single person that's ever died and the NK would already have a army of millions.
Game of Thrones works because there is just a sprinkling of supernatural in an otherwise hard knuckle chronicle of politics in the real world.
Melissandre has an established character. She has some magical powers like her longevity and ability to be smoking hot despite her age (WISH MY WIFE HAD THAT! RIMSHOT!) but she is ultimately a screw-up. If she is now able to morph into child form, that just changes the established rules of show for no apparent purpose.
Again: stupid if true.

If one magic necklace can change you from a 300 year old hag to the red head hottie, then another magic necklace should be able to make you look like a little girl. This is a world where someone can wear someone else's face.
So the NK takes KL and they all join his army in the north. In a display of unexpected humor the NK has seated Cersei on his stolen dragon and is doing pelvic thrusts as he does a flyby to throw Jaime off his game.
Cersei and Jaimes unborn child emerges as ice ice baby plays.

She has the power of glamour which makes people see her differently as long as she’s wearing the pendant. Pretty sure she can be seen by everyone else however she chooses. She chooses to be seen as a smoking hot red head but I assume that can change.
And yeah shes a screw up, but it seems like most of the “good screw ups” are getting redemption in the tv adaptation (Theon, Jorah, probably Tyrion)
I think the easiest way to kill the Night King would be for Arya to disguise herself as Bran.
He’s set out in the middle of the Gods wood as bait, like they discussed. The NK has his guard down because he thinks it’s a cripple that can run away or defend himself. “Bran” jumps out of the wheelchair and stabs NK with dragon glass.
Unfortunately she’d have to kill him to get his face.

Then why wasn't that kid Jaquen H'ghar? Arya? The poor girl who blows Tyrion when he's 80?
If true: stupid.
My guess, Davos is the one who is the most pissed off at her so when this little gal becomes some sort of hero (or else that scene wouldn't have been shown) he won't be as super pissed off as he normally would have been. He's probably gonna die anyway.
Perhaps a convoluted storyline, and it's all hypothetical, but well within the realm of capabilities in the show. Agree to disagree.
Fair enough and I will drop it here, but if Ol' Mel spellbinds herself into a little girl who is the spitting image of Shireen to win Davos' heart for her big introduction back to Winterfell -- the showrunners can gargle these nuts. That is awful storytelling. But since I saw a nonsensical quest and a dragon raised with chains, Arya's bewbs, and other numbskullery, I won't dismiss this as out of the realm of possibility.
RIP GRRM.

Only ones left standing (or sitting) in the end will be the midget, the cripple, the gay, and the big woman.
She birthed a magic shadow that killed renly. And brought the dead to life.
So I'd say even when only discussing her character, there was plenty of supernatural already on display
One of the things that I like best bout the show is all the stories of redemption. people you started out hating now kind of have a soft spot in your heart. Just cause you start your life as a miserable sob, doesn't mean you have to finish your life as one. It's not to late to turn your life around and make up for your past transgressions.
Theon Grayjoy can eat **** though. In a show with dragons and wearing people's faces, him storming a boat to kill Mac and rescue his sister was the most far fetched thing I've seen.
It did seem alil too easy didn't it. Gotta shake my head that he was chosen to guard bran.
Too much going on this weekend, so I already know I can't watch episode 3 until Monday night. I'll have to wear a blindfold and ear plugs to avoid just about everything... it'll be non-stop who lived/who died coverage on all media.
I keep thinking the faceless men should play a role in the outcome of the war, as it'd seem alil goofy if their only part in the story is the training of arya.
