IMO, all of episode 3. 2 will end with the army of the dead outside Winterfell about to attack
I hate when the queen interrupts my 4some.
I would ride dragons with Daenerys anytime.
Snow is the true King!
The Night King is a bad man!
The final scene. Jaime and.....

I don’t know if was the intent but my first thought was it was the Targ sigil too.
Not a bad episode but I expected a lot more to happen with not much time left. All the reunions were great though.

Not sure why Jamie is there? Kind of threw me there at the end. I assume that ***** Cersei was just going to stay held up in the castle .unless Jamie went on his own?
Also, my memory of Sam's situation isn't good, but didn't his father kind of **** on him? Treated him poorly? That's what I was thinking and I was a little confused when he got upset...

Closer than I thought. Thanks.
In the final episode of Season 7, Jaime had it out with Cersei because she promised to send her armies north to help the Starks/Targaryeans, but told him she lied to Jon/Dani. His final scene with him riding north as snow started to fall (it was not snowing in KL, so he had traveled a fair distance). Basically, he has abandoned her and chosen to side with the armies of Jon/Dani.
Sam's father hated him and loved Sam's younger brother (Dickon). Sam was a little sad to find out that his father was dead, but really upset when he found out Dickon was also killed. He loved his little brother and they had a good relationship.
Thanks for the clarification. I remembered him loving his brother, but took the "your brother sided with your father, therefore was an extension of him. So why you cry?" approach.
After thinking more about the last scene with Jaime, I couldn't tell if his reaction was an "oh **** you're still alive?!" or "Oh ****, you in my brain?!" Kinda deal.
Also, I don't think that symbol was anything House Targ sigil related. Similar in shape, but am just not seeing the connection with where it was placed, etc. It could be targeting that sigil, but the correlation, for me, is blurred.
I really liked that episode. I just wish some of the reunions were a bit... more. Especially the Arya ones. Her and the hound and her and Gendry should have been better. Same with Sansa and Tyrion. Sansa kinda got the better of him in that one. But could have been a bit better.
I mean Tyrion didn't force himself on her like Ramsey did. That should mean a lot to Sansa in hindsight. She has to think he's somewhat honorable.
It would be cool if Jamie gets put on trial and then Brienne tells the story of why he killed the mad king. And then Bran wheels up and says that Jamie pushing him out of the window was destined to happen because that put him on his journey to be the 3 eyed raven. Then he and Brienne hook up. Then Tormund gets jealous and kills Jamie... (kidding)
Maybe Sansa takes a liking to Tormund and they start having redheaded babies?

Without googling or cheating...
Anyone guess who the UK sport books have as the favorite to end up on the Iron Throne?

Agree on the Hound. I kind of liked the Gendry one. I thought it was about what was expected. I was wondering if she would hug either one of them. Had she done so, either/both would have been very uncomfortable, which would be funny to watch. But, that would have detracted from her new badass persona and from her hug with Jon, which was a reenactment of their hug in Season 1, when Jon said goodbye to her before heading north.
Agree. Especially when Sansa pointed out, in Season 7, that Littlefinger was responsible for pitting Targs against Starks and getting Ned beheaded. However, HBO has turned Sansa into a tough cold-hearted leader, and they probably didn't want to soften that by having her be nicer to Tyrion.
I'm interested in seeing the reunion between Brienne and the Hound.
Sansa (I'm assuming that it isn't one of the obvious choices, or you wouldn't have brought it up)
Edit: Seems strange that they would offer bets on this. There have to be a lot of people who know the answer (people who have worked on the show).
Decent write up below on the spiral. Seems like the show has put some clues in there that spirals are linked to the Children of the Forrest.

Podrick and the Hound met and talked about Brienne. But I don't remember Brienne being there.
Actually, they were both there. I had forgotten. I don't remember if they interacted.
One thing I thought was weird was how nonchalant the whole Jon Snow can ride a dragon thing was. Shouldn't than have been a bigger deal to all involved?
I sometimes get the books and HBO version confused, but I don't think HBO has made as big a deal of the concept that only Targs can ride dragons.
That was my thought too. There was nothing wrong with it but I guess knowing we have only six left I expected each one to be a major event. That didn't do much to advance the story. It felt like they just wanted to give everyone five minutes of screen time. I expect episode two to be major.

I'm there with you on that. Even still, I thought it was odd. Dany has been so protective of her dragons. It just felt weird that she was like hop on, see what happens. There has never been much of a hint that just anyone can ride one. Not a huge deal. Just felt weird to me.
They talked while walking to the dragon pit. She told the hound Arya was alive.
As the oldest son Sam's birthright was to inherit the land and become Lord Tarly. His father found him unworthy and forced him to join the Knights Watch and renounce his birthright so Dickon whom fit his image of a man would become the heir. Sam still seem to seek his father's approval when he took Gilly there but his father rejected him and Sam finally stood up to him and seemed to come to terms with his rejection. He was still upset to learn of his father and more so it seemed his brothers death.
The spirals mimic the one from the creation of the Night King
This is part of the reason I have set myself up for disappointment (though I will still be entertained) with this final season. Too many details, too many loose ends, too much character development. There could be 10 more seasons worth of just wrapping things up.
