Some number crunching, as opposed to skull crunching, on the Battle of Winterfell. Spoilers, of course!

Too bad we don't have this for Agincourt or Cannae.

Great minds think alike (but so do not-so-great ones).
Jaime will be the one to kill Cersei. Unless she does a Cleopatra.
The Hound and the Mountain will kill each other.
The trailer for next week shows 2 dragons...one is enough to win a war.
IMHO - Bronn is going to kill Jamie. Arya is going to take Jamie's face. Arya is going to kill Cersei while wearing Jamie's face.
Two birds killed with one stone... The birds being the prophecy that Cersei will die by her younger brother, and the other bird is that Arya strikes Cersei off her kill list.
The BIGGEST mystery I want resolve - What did the "voice" say to Varys when he got his nuggets snipped?
You know, if Varys, Theon, and Grey Worm were a superhero group, they'd be called the Ex-Men.

The big secret is going to be the return of Dario Naarharis. I'll bet money that he shows up as second in command of the Golden Company, offs the Captain at an opportune time, and gives the soldiers to Dany.
Poof there goes Cersei's army.
The Hound and Mtn will fight, and the Hound will die. When that happens, Arya loses it, stabs the Mtn in the back with her dagger and kills the Mtn.

Wot? No jokes here about the downfall of the "Wight supremist" movement in the last episode? [:D]
LOLOLOL
And I think they have a service rating of 4.

OK. I'll take that bet.
Shall we solidify specifics and amount of the wager offline? [8D]

Started watching
The Handmaid's Tale on the off chance. I have to say this is very well done and well worth watching if you want to see a nightmare vision of the future......

John Snow just walked away from Ghost. That (to me) was just so wrong, on so many levels.
And they killed Rhaegal! That guy took on an undead brother and survived, only to be killed by spears flying around with absolutely uncanny volume and precision from ships bobbing about on the open ocean that they did not see from 2000ft. Do you have any idea how hard it was to load and aim a Scorpion on land? Let alone water.
I was (and still am) SO bummed [:(]

I think the Ghost thing makes sense (not that I know much about Direwolves! [;)]). Where YKNJS is going is much warmer than ooop north, so would it have been cruel to take Ghost south? Mind you, having said that, he didn't exactly seem concerned - and he couldn't even be bothered to say goodbye!! It all seemed a bit rushed - but then that is a consequence of everything been compressed this series.
I liked that the whispering behind doors and the politics is back though [:)] I don't want to speak too soon but my prediction about MoD/her advisors could well be coming true.

Let him go north, sure. But to just look at him in passing as he ran out the gate? I guess I'm just getting sentimental in my old age [:(]

In the best tradition of GoT, Ghost is going to get it on with Arya's direwolf.

Something is rotten in the state of Westeros. [:D]
This is like after the Battle of Bosworth, when many of the nobles, who backed Henry Tudor to get rid of Richard III, decided they'd rather not have Henry as king.

While Daenerys and the North were busy fighting the undead, Euron wisely put his ships into King's Landing for AAA upgrades. And it appears that Scorpions are DP. At this point, Cersei's forces seriously outgun their opponents, have parity in numbers, and are protected by strong fortifications that feature even more Scorpions. Notice how none ventured out in front of the wall?
What's more, Cersei is allowing all civilians into the Red Keep, so that any attempt by Daenerys to burn Cersei out will result in thousands of civilian deaths. Even if Daenerys succeeds in killing Cersei, she will be hated as a foreign conquerer who killed Westerosi in order to "save" them. And even before Missandei was killed, Daenerys was willing to pay this cost (per her testy exchange with Varys). Now, no one is around who can counsel temperance.
Only the Arya/Hound hit squad can prevent a political/public relations catastrophe ... if they reach King's Landing before Aegon's Northern force.

Yeah, I think the Arya/Hound/Jamie hit squad will deal with Cersei. Perhaps Arya disguised as Tyrion? That would fulfill several aspects of the prophecy. Jamie is a wild card to cap off his sister/lover/mother of dead children too.

Can I suggest a thread dedicated to GoT? It is getting difficult to dodge the spoilers.
