Man, how crazy is this? And guess who he said it to...Theon!

The wait is killing me. I've been reading theories during all my free time since the episode ended, lol. I've barely even thought about the draft in anticipation for this episode.

What do you guys think about the theory that the little girl who reminded Davos of Shireen is actually Melisandre with a glamour?

This article on Dwayne Haskins and his father is rather bizarre. https://www.nj.com/giants/2019/04/heres-the-strange-conversation-i-had-with-dawyne-haskins-father-before-he-hung-up-on-me.html

Thanks. Thought I had copied the original tweet. Added it.

Lol. That was one of the best scenes of the entire series, imo.

I agree with @Starkiller that we aren't going to get much more regarding the NK's motivations/culture/etc. They're saving it for the prequel HBO is doing: A logline from the network teases the plot without divulging any specifics: "Only one thing is for sure: From the horrifying secrets of Westeros' history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend — it's not the story we think we know." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/game-thrones-all-details-prequel-series-far-1163290

Sadly, those Dothraki numbers are going to get shredded this week. Jaime even said that Cersei would have enough to swoop in and take out any survivors from the Winterfell battle. Unless the NK goes to King's Landing, this is probably what they're setting up for.

It is fascinating to me that we’ve seen almost nothing in the original trailer of what happens after episode 3. Tells me the people/locations/attire would give too much away.

They have to be super cautious with the dragons. That shot of the walkers at the end shows almost every single one of them holding an ice spear like the one that brought down Viserion.

I think we have to let it play out first. I think it would be quite a struggle to put the politics on the backburner for an entire season. Pretty sure that's been GRRM's plan from the beginning though...to have many of the characters brought back together at the end for a major battle. Of course his plans have evolved and changed along the way, but in his original query letter for ASOIAF, he wrote "The final battle will also draw together characters and plot threads left from the first two books and resolve all in one huge climax." Also, LOL at his original plan being for 3 books.

Two episodes in and all of these characters are still in play. Don't think that will be the case after next week.
