Winter is here, heralded by ravens and a boatload of leaks - including the brief, accidental release of Episode Six by HBO in Europe. If you have already seen bits (or all) of E6, beyond official trailers and stills, please respect the wishes of those who want to remain spoiler-free.
So the A-Team embarks from Eastwatch on a fateful hunting expedition. Zombie mayhem ensues, with the Night's King in command. Who returns alive, and do they achieve their goal?
Meanwhile, on the near side of the Wall, the preview offers...
... Tyrion and Daenerys exchanging another round of baleful glances. Why so glum?
... Arya noting Sansa's fear. Is that a trace of sisterly empathy from our favorite assassin, or contempt?
... No sign of Bran or Baelish, though they doubtless figure in whatever's up with the Stark girls.
... Nothing at all from King's Landing. Maybe the Lannisters take a week off to plan a baby shower while the Army of the Dead thins Dany's ranks.
This should be an epic episode - feel like the book readers in first few seasons - don't care I already know the plot, looking forward to the execution
My money is on Beric, Thoros and Torin biting the dust. Torin will be tough to see go, but he has already done his purpose as a character. Same thing with Thoros and Beric, that is unless Beric Dondarion can whip up a impassioned speech to make the Walkers reconsider their war against the living.
Jon and the Hound have to be locks to live. We aint through with these guys yet. I doubt they kill Gendry after just bringing him back , but maybe. Also it would be a waist of his greyscale plot if Jorah dies so soon and so far away from Dany.
I think Beric and Thoros both die.
It would make Arya's list closer to completion if nothing else and I feel like there's a good chance Jorah or Davos die too.

they can't all face the army of white walkers and come back alive. My pick is the flaming sword guy. Lesser character, he's died already.

Sorry Torin = Tormund

I could be wrong but I thought Davos was staying behind at Eastwatch
That was the letter Cersei made Sansa write while Robb's army was still active.
Robb immediately knew the letter was forced, but Arya has no idea (probably), and she could just view Sansa as weak or worse a traitor.

I really hope that Jorah, Davos, Jon Snow, and Tormund survive this episode. I don't think Tormund is going to make it and I have a feeling that at least one of Baric and Thoros will perish as well. Bringing Gendry back to kill him off the next episode sounds highly unlikely to me.
I have been predicting for a while now that Bran will find a way to warg into a wight, possibly wight Hodor (who Bran was able to control while alive). I couldn't figure out how that would realy help unles he could control them all at once. If he could do it with ravens could Bran possibly control, or stop, all the wights at once, leaving the Walkers on a level playing field against dragonglass weilding soldiers?
Not sure how exactly, the identity of the the Night's King from what I've read is sketchy, but Old Nan would tell Bran that the Night's King was a Stark from Winterfell and his name was Brandon.

Recon with the Ravens, strike with the Dragons!
Gonna sit this thread out because I saw it too, but
Same here great episode
I am trying to figure out if the mission failed, could they off Beric north of the wall, tie him up and then bring him south after he "turns?" It seems nobody south of the wall turns when they die, so it must need to happen north of the wall. Then they could eventually have Thoros bring him back.
I'm still not sure how they're going to bring evidence of a wight. burlap sack? shackles? no go-pros or youtube.
Speak for yourself, fella
Since several BBIers have already seen it, they can discuss it there if they wanted to.

I accidently clicked on that thread thinking it was this one at first. But I quickly saw all the **Spoilers** warning before seeing anything else, so thank you for labeling it like that.

My thought wa if he could warg into all of them at once and "shut them down" back to corpses, then only the Walkers would be left and the heroes can do the rest. I admit it is a very far fetched theory.
Warging into the Night King is interesting though
I opened it... started to read, yelled Ahhhh and closed the browser
Lmao!

There's an interesting theory that leads to Bran being the night king
So the theory states he goes back to the moment the night king was created, wargs into the man.... tries to explain what will happen and why they shouldn't do this... they call bull shit and do it anyways leaving bran as the night king...
Pretty long shot but interesting nonetheless

I clearly marked it as Spoilers in both the title and original post on the thread.

Anytime, last thing I want to do is ruin an awesome episode like that and put several "Spoiler" warnings before we started the discussion to give people who accidentally open it a chance to leave without reading anything.
With the leaked 7x04, that was released on Friday and it was easier to wait just two days to avoid spoilers and watch on Sunday.
But with 7x06, damn HBO's affiliate in Spain leaked it out on Monday. There are a TON of spoilers everywhere from the net, youtube and facebook......and it's only Wednesday. Which is why I gave in and watched the episode now. No way I'd last to Sunday without accidentally running into any more plot spoilers.

That would also make a lot of sense. It's seems like the Night King has always been one step ahead of Bran in their visions. So this theory would help prove that since the Night King would always know what to expect since he first lived those experiences as Bran and always know a counter for all of Bran's moves.
Plus also explain how in episode 6x05 Meera was able to drag Bran away without getting caught by all the Night Kings wrights. I know that Hodor and Uncle Benjen helped but if this theory is correct, the Night King would want Meera to get away and help Bran cross the Wall or he'd never exist.

Not to even mention why the Night King has always looked at Jon with a special interest. If it is Bran, then of course he'd look with interest with what Jon is doing since it is his brother.

Actually first cousin, Bran knows Jon's true identity.
Right?
Surprised Bran hasn't done more to communicate that.
Sansa on the other hand would look at Jon differently as a cousin and use that information to become the rightful heir to Winterfell.
Dave, that news is nothing to Sam at this point in time. From what Sam knows, Jon is still Ned Stark's bastard son. If when Sam gets back to Winterfell and finds out the truth about Jon, hopefully he can recall Gillie's comments and have to proof to back it up from all those books he stole from the Citadel.
Sansa on the other hand would look at Jon differently as a cousin and use that information to become the rightful heir to Winterfell.
I guess I agree from an emotional standpoint.
I think Sansa feels differently about him anyway because he's a bastard.
He may not have to, maybe Littlefinger kills him and unwittingly saves the realm.
No one likes to see the disabled get attacked but it would show just how low Littlefinger would stoop to achieve more.
I don't think Bran kills himself.
The fact Old Nan told him the Night's King name is Brandon Stark can't be merely coincidental. Or could it?
