GoT pop-up exhibit in San Francisco. Right now it's an Iron Throne, a few props and an interactive map, but apparently 'VR is coming'....

All caught up! The place we are staying has a deck that looks out over a beautiful glacial valley,  so I had this grand vision of sitting out there with some good beer and watching GoT. Unfortunately the sun never really sets this time of year and parts of the last episode were so dark that I had to retreat into a room where I could close all of the drapes.

And yes, the battle was epic. I love that Dany was involved directly, and that Tyrion was watching from afar, helpless to do anything to change the course of the battle, or to help his brother. And the big scene at the end.... Bron helped Jamie... or did he? It's not easy to swim while wearing armor.

That battle scene was epic. It was like that epic battle scene from last season. I'm surprised it came so soon in the season. They usually cap a season with something that good. If they set the bar so high so early, I wonder what they have planned for the end.

That looks epic. It's a GoT offsite without the 8 hour line. I'll be in San Francisco next month. I'll have to see if I can swing by. Does anyone know how long it runs? I guess for a decent amount of time since they aren't even done building it out.

What's the HBO connection to AT&T? Is it DirectTV?

AT&T has been offering HBO related promotions recently, but also AT&T is also in the process of trying to acquire Time Warner and HBO is part of Time Warner.

Definitely an awesome episode! Spoilers in my comments, but I'm not going to tag them since it says 'spoilers' in the thread title.

They hit on an interesting point about the attempted murder of Bran in season 1. In the books, it was eventually revealed who was behind it, but they have never cleared it up in the show. I'm wondering if this will come back into play and if Littlefinger was somehow involved. Regardless, Littlefinger was directly responsible for Ned's imprisonment (and resulting death) so he *really* needs to be on Arya's list. Please?

Loved Sansa's reaction to seeing what Arya has become!

Arya's fight with Brienne was awesome! I love that they were both grinning at the end!

Jon and Dany seemed to be warming up to each other... I know, bad pun, given what Dany was doing later in the episode! The white walker drawings were creepy and awesome.

And yes, the battle was epic. I love that Dany was involved directly, and that Tyrion was watching from afar, helpless to do anything to change the course of the battle, or to help his brother. And the big scene at the end.... Bron helped Jamie... or did he? It's not easy to swim while wearing armor.

So, my predictions for the endgame of the series (just guesses, no inside info):

- Jamie will kill Cersei, after finally admitting to himself what she has become. This will result in a late-in-the-game switch of allegiance to Dany (just as his father had a late-in-the-game switch to Robert).
- Jon and Dany will get married to ally the North and South (solving both of their problems of her needing to rule everything, but him needing to not 'bend the knee').
- Arya will kill Littlefinger (really just hoping on this... no 'evidence' to suggest that this might happen)
- There will be an awesome battle with the Night King and the dragons.
- One or two of the dragons will die. But not all 3.

Pretty sure Arya kills Cersei ... especially since both times they talked about Arya's list last night, Cersei was the only name mentioned.

Yes, Arya must kill Cersei.  :)

Arya already killed Walder Frey. She's had her fun... ;)

But I wouldn't be upset if she did kill Cersei. ;)

Jaime needs to be the one to kill Cersei.  He loves her so it makes the biggest impact.

Agreed.

It's also a big leap forward in character development for Jamie, while it would be 'more of the same' for Arya. Even more, it brings his story arc full circle, since he has always been known as the Kingslayer.

We agree that Cersei must die.  Our friendly common ground :)

I need to find Arya's list and see who is left on it.  Can't wait to see her reunion with Jon!

Right now my big concern is for the dragons.  I REALLY don't want any of them to die!!
