...that plucked a heart string or ten.
Talk about a trullllllllllllly sympathetic character's gutting demise.

And BRA-VO @David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.
They really should have written more than just the last two episodes.

.....................................

and it looks like the Dragon Queen has her fleet!
Plus 2 armies now, right? This is quite the easterly force, is it not?
Classical infantry a-n-d cavalry and a Dragon air force and now a fleet!
(Unsullied + the Dothraki + Iron Fleet)

Plus Jon Snow sorta raising a Norther army of his own.

...............you can just see the 3 armies + Bran having to combine... ...
with maybe Ramsay Bolton playing the 5th columnist spoiler for the humans?

.........................................................

Q. who/what exactly were those strange olive drab elf she-folk thingys under the Red Tree?

What happened to the Red Tree? Does that matter pro/con?
(did the Starks not have a similar tree thingy on their lands?)

"Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven enter a vision to transfer the Three-Eyed Raven's knowledge to Bran."

Okay, so what abilities does Bran now have per the transference of Tree think?

Speculation:.........does Bran now mind-Spock the chief White Walker?
(he has the Ice-Scar, is this a conduit of sorts?)

Who is the new Fire priestess with the dwarf?
She is the head of the Fire guild per se?
(i.e. higher ranking more powerful than the old one leftover at the Wall?)


from wiki:
"While Meera escapes carrying Bran, Hodor is presumably killed by the wights. In the vision, Bran becomes overwhelmed by the split consciousness and unintentionally wargs into the young Hodor (then named Wylis), forging a connection between the past and present, and causing him to suffer a seizure. With Bran's consciousness inside his head, Wylis hears the echoes of Meera's orders, and begins to slur the words "hold the door" over and over again until "Hodor" is all that he can say."

wow!!!

Yah; that one actually did merit the perfect 100 on rotten tomatoes.
