That was definitely one of the most hype next episode promos this show has ever done. Maybe the most hype.

So did John outfit the hunting team with dragon glass weaponry? At least daggers or something?
The preview shows Gendy with the Warhammer and Beric with his flaming sword.

She was already thinking Sansa would betray Jon, literally told that to her face. She could in fact be this stupid. Nobody knows with this show.

A cage will probably be too hard to carry in a weather condition like this by only 10 or so men. I think they plan on trying it up with a rope or something. and drag it back to the wall using that sled.
Sneaking around an unsuspecting castle with a different face is much different than her current situation. She got cocky and Littlefinger made her the moment he met her. He knows what hes up against

Season ends with Jon and Dany in bed after sex.
Sam barges in, pushing bran's chair, waving the anulment book.
Bran: "SHE'S YOUR AUNT!"
They share an awkward look.
Jon: "Bend the knee"

Like when the world's most powerful assassins are out to get her and Arya walks around in broad daylight in their city with no disguise? Yah she's top level.
Writers lol
Why bother? Dragonglass doesn't kill wights. :lol

YEP. We are all powerless against the #SQUAD. I can't believe the fan service is working so well.

So what's the fellowship's goal here? Wade into an army of the white walkers, grab a zombie, and leave? Doesn't seem too bright.
Well, what were the no names behind the Eastwatch Squad '17 hauling out? I figured it was a cage.
He'll save them at the last moment before they think they're all gonna die.
Oh I'm in for next week. I think it's safe to say the final two episodes are going to be lit. This is television and in some ways, I'm glad they're embracing it.
Remember that note Sansa was forced to write 5 seasons ago? It's now the focal point in pitting the Stark sisters in a weak plot. Great writing!
Now I need this. The elite 8!

They should just change the name of this show to Game Of Foreshadow. Jon petting Drogon, finding out the bit about Rhaegar
It really was a who's who of characters, wasn't it? Didn't take long for Gendry and Jorah to saddle up with Jon.
And maybe I'm late to the party but in the trailer for episode 6.... is Beric wielding Arthur Dayne's sword, Dawn???
Tune in next week to find out!
I personally am a fan of major story points coming right out of the blue.

I don't think they'd go to the trouble of bringing back Gendry just to have him die in the next episode. I think the most likely to die are Thoros, Berric, Jorah and possibly The Hound. With the imminent White Walker invasion I'm not sure there would be a chance for Cleganebowl to happen. Maybe Tormund'll bite it too?
I'm not expecting many survivors though, we need to see the Others wreck some shit.
Edit: If Benjen shows up, he'll have a sweet reunion with Jon before he's toast.

Gendry turned out ok after all those rowings
Bran wargs into something and other stuff and dragons!!!
Yes, I know. But if she isn't extremely suspicious of the evidence so easily falling into her lap like that then she's an idiot.

Nah it's his same sword from when he fought the Hound with the flame trick, and it's going to be AWESOME.
Oh didn't notice.
Well we'll see how many are left to drag a cage after all the redshirts eat it.
Sure, but this is after
She's presumably learned her lesson after getting gutted by the Waif
Killed the Waif
Snuck into House of Black and White to deliver the Waif's face
Come back to Westeros and done all that Frey shit
Beat All-Mother Brienne in a fight
Surreptitiously tailed Littlefinger
And probably did one or two other things along the way that I can't think of
So, I mean, there's growth written in there between last season and this one. They've said "This is Arya now". Even if they didn't justify her becoming a little assassin goddess and she didn't earn it in any way, that's what they've been writing her as, and if you're going to write her as that, you have to write her as that.
So yeah, writers lol

Show redeemed!
What if next week only focuses on Winterfell drama and leaves the beyond the wall stuff for the finale? Also it's gonna be bullshit no matter what. haha
Of course you didn't, you were posting during the show instead of paying attention to it.

Who you think is going to survive among the magnificent seven? I think Jon and Hound are the only guaranteed ones.
It sure is a plot contrivance that Jon has not sent any ravens to Winterfell to, ya know, update his people on what is going on.
And it's even dumber that he apparently didn't send a raven to his kingdom to at the very least let Sansa know that he is going beyond the wall.
What if he dies? Does he not care to prepare them for that potential outcome?
Maybe next episode it will be revealed that they actually do know what he is doing, but I have a feeling they won't because him being gone strokes more of the Sansa vs Arya flames.

You know what? I'm ok with this!
The show has clearly gone full on fan fiction / fanservice at this point, so screw it, go all out I guess. Basically everything past season 4 has been all style over substance really with fantastic production values but often times ho-hum plotting and writing.
This whole plot of "Let's just grab a Wight and that'll convince everyone this is a real problem!" is just kind of stupid though. I mean, didn't they do this exact same thing way back in season 1? Or was it only in the book? And basically the Wight rotted away by the time they got it down to King's Landing? I guess with the teleporters they have on the show they'll get the Wight down to King's Landing Next Day Express via dragons or something? Otherwise this just seems like the showrunners doing something the books already tried except it'll work this time because... well, because there are only 8 episodes left and they need to wrap this thing up, I guess.
Hmmm... Jon is probably a lock. If it were the books, I might worry about Jon but the show isn't killing anyone off Red Wedding style this close to the end of the series. I don't think you bother bringing back Gendry just to kill him off the next episode. Sort of the same deal with the Hound- if they're going full on fanservice now, the Hound needs to live to participate in Clegane Bowl next season. Jorah... maybe? But again, why bother going to the trouble of curing him of Grayscale only to kill him off so quickly? If he was going to die in this fight anyway, why not just have him go up there while still afflicted with Grayscale, so he's got nothing to lose? Tormund is probably safe, if only because he's basically the only Wildling character of note left on the show. That leaves Beric and Thoros. Between those 2 I could see Thoros dying, which would leave Beric with only one life left. Then again, Beric is basically long dead anyway at this point in the books, so he could just as easily die up beyond the Wall as any time now.
Well, it's 71 minutes long so I sure hope it's not all Winterfell drama. Yikes.

I don't think Dany is gonna make it by the end of the series. Jon will be the king. Also I think all the 3 dragons are going to fall in the battle vs the white walkers ultimately by the end of the series.
I think it will just be them. Jon for obvious reasons. And the Hound since we still need the Clegane bowl (especially while the show is in fan service mode).
They are not there to fight them all.

Only thing missing is one of the seven use some kind of pistol of GoT universe to do some quickdraw action on zombies.
