1.
What happened between the time Jaime arrived at Winterfell and this council meeting?
HBO
Like, did Jaime just stand around and wait for them to setup the tables and gather EVERYONE important to come and listen to him?
2.
Did Bran question if there was an afterwards for JAIME or for ANYONE?
HBO
If he’s the Three-Eyed Raven, can’t he see? Doesn’t he at least have a vague idea? Was he just being SHADY???
3.
What’s the plan with this collapsing bridge — will they dump fire onto the wights that get stuck in it?
HBO
Seems like this lil’ bridge and the small spear moat they’re making isn’t enough? Although, I like a good trap.
4.
Where do they keep the Great Hall’s tables and chairs when they’re not in use?
HBO
Isn’t Winterfell at OVER capacity? There are so many different armies and people, and food storage…certainly they don’t have a chair and table storage space available still?
5.
Who’s taking care of baby Sam while Gilly is guiding women and children below the crypt and Sam is with the council/off being Sam?
HBO
Is there a Winterfell daycare I don’t know about?
6.
If they cut off Bran’s marked arm, would the Night King still be able to see him?
HBO
Seems like an easy fix, no? (You: “Crystal, that’s TOO convenient!”)
7.
The Mormont Sigil was placed in the middle of Winterfell during battle plan talks — I guess symbolizing Lyanna being in the Crypt — is THIS what sparked that argument between Jorah and Lyanna later? LOL.
HBO
I mean, he’s just trying to protect her. Awww.
8.
And why wouldn’t Lyanna Mormont say something while they were discussing battle plans, then? She was there!
HBO
Seems like it’d be more in character for her to be like, “Nah,” right then and there.
9.
How come Tyrion is the only person curious about hearing Bran’s story of how/why he became the Three-Eyed Raven?
HBO
If I knew Bran, PARTICULARLY if I were his sibling, I’d be like, “TELL ME EVERYTHING!”
10.
Where’s Ghost been hiding out up until now?
HBO
I know, I know…budget constraints and all that. But, seriously, is their explanation that Ghost has been like napping in a kennel somewhere or what?
11.
Also…is he standing on some kind of apple box here?
HBO
He looks like he’s floating. Is this bad CG or….?
12.
What exactly are these huge scars on Arya’s body from?
HBO
I know the Waif stabbed Arya back in Season 6, but she STABBED her. Not sliced.
13.
Did Arya and Gendry get burlap sack burn?
HBO
Doing it on a sack of potatoes or rice, or whatever is in there can’t POSSIBLY feel good.
14.
Is this maybe why Arya looks so unimpressed afterwards?
HBO
Or was it just…bad sex? (LOL, JK, she’s prob worried about the impending battle.)
15.
Will someone tell a Maester, or at least someone who can make a historical record, about Brienne becoming the first woman knight in Westeros????
HBO
I do not want her to die, only to have everyone FORGET about this historic event!
16.
Why the fuck hasn’t Pod sung before? He’s great!
HBO
King of sex? Check. King of singing? Check. He’s too humble!!!
17.
Are the candles in Wintefell’s Crypt ALWAYS lit — whose job is it to maintain them?
HBO
That’s like a good hour or two out of someone’s day. Every day.
18.
Shouldn’t Jon be more upset about finding out he’s banging his aunt?
HBO
I understand this isn’t shocking to Daenerys (since Targaryens are known to historically be incestuous), but certainly Jon would be like, “Oh, yucky.”
19.
And finally, won’t a lot of people (i.e. Tormund, Davos, Tyrion, Pod, Jaime…) be kinda drunk once the battle starts?
HBO
Although, at this point I guess, FUCK IT, right???
