Also im afraid they will end the series in a predictable way in season 8 with Jon and Dany both dying and the NK defeated, and the rest of the survivors rebuilding a better world. YYAAAWWNN. 👇

Is it a wight? Or a "Other"?

Zombies typically don't have the blue eyes either, that's a trait of White Walkers. And I believe the infants weren't turned into wights, but "Others".

The infants were also still alive. Viserion was dead, and perhaps importantly not an infant, though that might not be a prerequisite.

blue overly cgi'd diamond-like eyes = white walker.
vicerion has white walker eyes. good thing since he'll probably have some unique ability now (ice-breathing?)

Yeah, the rules could be different for dragons then for humans (Humans probably decay a lot faster after death, for one.)

Not to mention, it was downed by a White Walker to begin with. Could as easily have begun transforming him as he took it down/preserved the corpse.

The undead bear also had blue eyes. Edit; The zombie Giants also had blue eyes. So it seems not humans get the special blue eyes of the Walkers.

Still, I said to my friends who were watching with me that the dragon's now going to have ice/frost breath and it will retain the ability to fly. Not sure it makes sense, but it's happening. That dragon has to be capable of competing with its brothers, if it's just a flightless biting machine, it'd get its ass kicked quick.

It's not just the color, but the shape.

Regardless, we're dealing with supernatural creatures, so maybe they can create Super Wights when it pleases them.

i think they made wight eyes more glowey as the seasons progressed, but the giant and bear (from what i saw) had regular eyes. light blue and cloudy as opposed to deeply saturated blue cgi diamonds.

Wow, the picture I linked of the first wight in the series is incredibly small for literally no reason.

Thoros likely died of a combo of his wounds and the cold.

I think they there only out on the frozen lake less than a day. Gendry ran like Usain Bolt, the raven flew at mach 10 as did the dragons. As I said, just have to look past the teleporting, it's really nothing new.

IMO, the truly unforgivable part was Jon's rescue, that was fanfic levels of writing. They should have just had him get on the dragon or die, would have been better than the perfectly timed Uncle B's miraculous save.

Agreed here. Comic book levels of speed for ravens and such is A-Okay if Benioff and Weiss use it to serve a good plot, but...

...Cold Hands coming back for a dramatic effect-only death was a low point.

Also, why did Sansa not question Arya further about where she got the scroll from Season 1? The two sisters would probably easily piece together Littlefinger is trying to play them as he always does, especially after Brienne suggested as much to Sansa. Classic case of Stark Stupidity.

This whole season has been paced way too high. I don't really understand why they decided to cut episodes this season when it feels like the amount of events is higher than in past seasons. If anything this season should have been longer, or at least stayed the same as seasons past.

This episode was just emblematic of the season's problems as a whole. Tried to pack way too much into it to the point that it started to impact the narrative sense of everything that was happening.

This episode wasn't very good, and despite some very fun and memorable episodes, this season has fallen in quality quite a bit.

If all the stuff with the Sand Snakes, Arya's faceless training, taking down Ramsey and winning back Winterfell, etc. should have been settled by the end of Season 5. That gives Season 6, 7, and 8 - three seasons - to finish fleshing out characters and having them meet each other, North/Dany and Jon vs South/Cersei, and hyping up the final war with the dead.

While I'm enjoying the season, the pacing shift is jarring and way too rushed. The show took a whole season on Arya getting the tar beat out of her and watching plays. The invasion of a new dragon and Dothraki got one third of one episode.

Why in the world would Sansa even brush off Brienne's suspicians? She should know better then anyone how manipulative Littlefinger could be.

Yep yep. Good question.

Every season has a garbage storyline. Just took awhile to find out which one it was this season, and it's the Winterfell one, which I figured would be the best.

hopefully sansa wises up and realizes the weapon she has. arya could avenge her by killing littlefinger (i think she wants to after the whole ramsay thing) and they can retain his influence with arya wearing littlefinger's face. however that bit with her sending brienne away was kind of a soft villain turn imho, like theon burning the letter to robb

the way i saw it, it was Sansa (perhaps, foolishly) sending Brienne away to keep her from possibly killing Arya.

it was Sansa being manipulated by Littlefinger; he put it in her head that Brienne could be used as a weapon against Arya, counting on Sansa to get rid of Brienne so Sansa would be left with no one else at her side but him.

pretty sure Littlefinger didn't forget about this:

i think littlefinger was telling sansa that she should lose her because brienne is sworn to protect arya as well. seemed like he was telling her to send arya's support away and she obliged.

That doesn't make sense.

1. Sansa knows Arya could kill her without any support for Brienne.
2. LittleFinger was clearly trying to suggest that Brienne would protect HER from Arya.

Littlefinger: "She's sworn to protect both of Catelyn's Starks girls... is she not"

Sansa: "She is"

Littlefinger: "And if one of you were planning to harm the other in any, wouldn't she be honor bound to intercede?"

Sansa: "She Would"

Everything points to Sansa sending Brienne away because she doesn't want Brienne and Arya to fight and kill each other.

Sansa thinks she has outsmarted Littlefinger by sending Brienne away. Littlefinger in no way suggested that he wanted Sansa to send Brienne away.

I've got a feeling that Sansa and Arya are setting Petyr up. Arya's not completely stupid, and falling for Baelish's little stunt seems way too far below Arya's demonstrated ability.

But the only way to prove it would actually be Bran. Bran's greenseer ability could bring Petyr right undone when blurted out at the wrong time. Like the "chaos is a ladder" comment, or hows about "I told you not to trust me."

Zombie bear was the best part of the show so far, hands down...

littlefinger sent away the only person who would protect arya in order to protect arya? i think my interpretation is the accurate one tbh, and that the mistake you're making is conflating "intercede" with "kill one of them" when it could just as easily mean "get between them and stop them from hurting eachother".
