I am pulling for the Nights King to win out over all, the people of the 7 are douches, long unlive the undead! (full disclosure, I am a vampire count and tomb king fan)

**Asherian Command**

I am excited for tonight....

Mostly because we get to see Sandor....

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

I don't really want Cleganebowl to happen this season, but chances are it will be

**Alpharius**

Why would it matter what season it happens in?

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

I've got my fingers crossed for lady stone heart.

For pacing reasons. Delaying till next season would give other storylines time to catch up. There's still a fair few thing that need to happen first.

Spoiler:

Theres too much that still needs to happen this season and cleganebowl will hog too much screen time.

Yeah, I totally don't want to see that one thing that everyone is totally stoked about either. How dare they show me what I want!

But the problem is, what will they cut out this Season to fit it in? How messed up will the pacing be? Theres already too many earthshaking things to come. I'd rather they open the first episode of Season 7 with the Cleganebowl than cram it in at the tail end of this Season at the cost of other events, like the Riverlands.

Siege and fall of river run. Blackfish escapes.
Brienne and podrick run into the Brotherhood without banners and brienne is coerced into bringing them Jaime.
Siege of Meeren by the slavers.
The Iron fleet arrives and attacks the slavers flanks.
The other two dragons escape.

At least one of those events are unlikely to happen in the series.

**Alpharius**

Yes, well, that's certainly one opinion.

And I suppose it could still end up happening that way.

We'll know more after tonight.

That's working with the assumption that the producers/writers/directors have to "cut" something else out to put Cleganebowl in.

**Dr. What**

I never really wanted Cleganebowl. I found it really satisfying to read that he had finally found some peace in life.

However, I am beyond excited for Meribald's broken man speech. If that is well done and the Blackfish calls Jaime a cripple, I will forgive the awfulness of the Kingsmoot.

Lady Stone Heart was ignored in the books by GRM - so why bring in yet another character now - we have more than enough..........

...maybe?

And, how have you not broken the "." key on your phone yet?!?

I am sorry I don't understand ?

I don't have or indeed want a phone that has internet access.

**Alpharius**

Well, that doesn't explain a lot, but the point still stands, how have you not broken the "." key on your keyboard of choice already?!?

What time does GoT air in the UK?

2am. Monday morning (simulcast with the USA)

And again at 10pm.

**Mr Morden**

Yep 2am which is pretty early so we watch it at 10pm.

Still no ideaa what the "." thing is about. Is it relevant to anything to do with Game of Thrones?

**Alpharius**

Damn!

You guys are staying up until 3AM - on a 'school night'?!?

That's dedication!

**Mr Morden**

No - even though I have the day off. My friend does however work at a school so she can't watch it at that time anyway.

It's on 'Sky TV' which tends to, nowadays, have a box with a recording feature on it. - It's alternatively "On demand" as well, after 2am.

So it's not uncommon for the more sensible / organised folk to get up an hour early and watch the recording with their breakfast.

**Alpharius**

Ah, so not as dedicated as I originally thought then.

Anyway, hard to believe that there's only 4 episodes left this season - but I've been loving it so far, as I've been waiting almost 5 years to find out some of this stuff!

**Compel**

I do still find it funny that if you were to watch like, all the bits for a single plotline consecutively, most of them would last like... an hour at most.

Which is why it's really weird I find them talking about only going for another 7 episodes or so in the next season, then doing the same for the final season too.

Surely most characters have more than 2 hours worth of plot in them left.

**Alpharius**

I hadn't heard that - are they really thinking of going down to 7 episodes for the final 2 seasons?

**Asherian Command**

Well that was a bloody episode, had dogs and everything.

Hey, Arya. Haven't you been training with the people, for the past year or so, that can LITERALLY CHANGE THEIR FACES AT ANY TIME?!

WHY THE FETH AREN'T YOU PREPARED FOR THIS?!

So, so disappointed.

Awesome to see a certain dogged individual return, even if it's at the cost of cool preacher guy.

**Asherian Command**

Anyone see the lines from the book when black fish and jamie talked?

Its literally right out of the book, and it is the most scariest scene and most badass scene.

Every north scene, and jamie scene was incredible.

I didn't see anything that would point to her being there.
