Hodor brings up another possibility. Bran isn't just the Three-Eyed Raven, he has the ability to warg. Could be important in this battle.
I just hope it's good and we don't have some b.s. time traveling stuff to escape the whitewalkers.
You have to say that the show has done a really good job of filming the big battles, the big moments. However, every big fight seems to end with one side losing and the cavalry arriving to save the day. You had Tywin arriving to win the Battle of the Blackwater; the Knights of the Vale in Battle of the Bastards. Dany shows up with her dragons to save the expedition north of the Wall.
It'd be nice if we got something different.
I’d really like there to be some greater explanation for the world other than just secret weapon gone awry. I doubt that the show can give us that though.
It’s been a huge letdown to just see the Others losing all mystery only to become cliche zombies that happen to be really cold.
It's really difficult in fantasy/sci-fi to create an interesting world with interesting villains. For instance, in LOTR and Harry Potter you just have big bads who are bad for the sake of being bad. (I realize the story of Sauron is much deeper than what is shown in the movies, but for the most part, it's a pretty black and white world.
GOT has had terrific human monsters but the NK and white walkers are boring AF.
Like the Night King killing everyone...

EDIT: It's going to be Skeleton Ned to save the day at the end this time though.
I’d honestly be really happy to see them overcome the WW/Others only to find that they’ve been holding some cosmic horror at bay for millennia.
Legit?
I will just wait an hourYeah but it’s basically just 500 screen caps strung together. There is serious info to be gleaned but it’s really unsatisfying to watch because the images are also super low res.
