2 spots, 4 teams, here is what everyone has left (home games bold)
3. Spurs 67: City, Brighton, West Ham, Bournemouth, Everton
4. Arsenal 66: Palace, Wolves, Leicester City, Brighton, Burnley
5. Chelsea 66: Burnley, ManU, Watford, Leicester City
6. ManU 64: Everton. City, Chelsea, Huddersfield, CardiffThoughts on this finish per team:
Spurs - City is their toughest game, after that finish 3 of 4 at home.
Arsenal - Pretty light schedule, but they shouldn't overlook Leicester City
Chelsea - only having 4 games doesn't help and the ManU-Chelsea could be an elimination game
ManU - rough finish with 2 of the last 5 against top 6 clubs, even if they are at home.Nobody has it super easy. Because of the ManU-Chelsea game, I have to give Spurs and Arsenal the advantage for the top 4.

Spurs 2nd best chance(hoping they get some kind of points against city)
Chelsea/manu cant draw if one of them want a top 4 spot imo....will be fun
Spurs have the easiest path. They will probably not get any points at City, but they will likely get the other 12, even without Kane.
ManU have to play two top 6 teams, but get both at home. They no longer have to juggle lineups for CL, and will be focused the rest of the way.
Arsenal should get 9 points from Palace, Brighton, and Burnley, but they are the most likely to drop points that they shouldn't. At Wolves and Leicester will likely yield 0-2 points.
Chelsea have the hardest path, facing 3 top 8 teams, and having one fewer remaining match.I expect Spurs to finish in third, and Chelsea 6th. The battle for fourth between ManU and Arsenal is closer than it appears on paper. It will likely come down to the last week, but we'll have a pretty good idea after both have played their next 3 EPL matches.

Marks on her neck could have been from anything, including consensual erotic asphyxiation with the ex.

She could explode once she learns that Cersei isn’t sending many troops.
She could, but I don't think that would do it. I think if anything does, it will be because she can't handle the truth about Jon.

Yeah, I mean I get that, that's sort of her entire character. But this last episode, and for most of last season, she's drifted over to the "ambition/power" side of things from the "good intentions" side. My point was that this has to be intentional and that she's going to slip almost fully to the "dark side" this season. If not, it's probably poor writing.
I think it would be a break of character for her to go to the dark side, and would be disappointed it it goes that way for her. The only way I could see it happening is if she stops listening to reason and loses all ability to read people and to trust those who have been loyal to her. In other words, she will have to become the Mad Queen. I could see that happening, but I would not be happy about it...knowing full well that a happy ending isn't likely.

Dany's attitude and general everything this episode have to be foreshadowing a heel turn, right? To me this is the least likable she's been since the beginning. It's either intentional or really poor writing, and you have to figure they've screen tested it and reviewed it. I don't see any way they let this get to air in the form it was in if they want Dany to be the main protagonist. Unless the "bittersweet" ending is that she kills Cersei, saves everyone from the zombies, then turns into another asshole ruler.
I think you aren't giving her past deeds enough credit. She has been very hard to like on numerous occasions. Her internal struggle between wanting to leave the world a better place versus her ambition for ruling Westeros is what makes her such a great character. Sometimes those two things are in alignment, sometimes they aren't.

I’m predicting Arya disguises herself as Littlefinger and kills Cersei.
I rewatched last season’s finale and saw how Arya slit Littlefinger’s throat, leaving the face intact.
Cersei is still on Arya’s list. Cersei would speak with Littlefinger since he’s a conniving bitch who could claim to have insight into what’s happening in the north. Presumably nobody in King’s Landing knows Littlefinger is dead. And Aidan Gillen is too good of an actor not to have come back.
Arya has to be the one to kill Cersei. And I think that’s how she’ll do it.
I would find it hard to believe that word of Littlefinger's death hasn't made it to King's Landing, but it's not the most unbelievable scenario. Another possibility would be to use Jamie's face. I think that would be more fitting.

where is melisandre?
She was at Dragon Stone last time she appeared. She has to stick around to resurrect Jon the next time he gets killed. Too much of that gets old, but they have made it a point that that One-eyed Willie has been brought back several times, and she explicitly told Jon that she would have to try, even though he asked her to not do so. Of course that was before the Battle of the Bastards and her being told to leave Winterfell and never come back.

Anyone else think that the whole thing with the White Walkers will be resolved by the middle of the season?
If the living win, then yes...if the dead are going to win or it is going to be a lose/lose situation, then no. They will need time to resolve who sits on the Iron Throne, or they wont.

I haven't had a chance to rewatch but when Jon and Bran first saw each other Jon said "you're a man", and Bran said "not yet". What did Bran mean? He hasn't got any pussy yet? Jon looked at him all crazy...
9 minutes ago, bolverk said:I think he said "not quite" but I'd have to rewatch it.
It was either "not quite" or "almost" or something in that vein. What I took it to mean is that Bran no longer sees himself as human, and that Jon's look was one of not knowing what the fuck he meant by that.

Am I the only one who thinks Dany survives and Jon dies?
Why? Dany is pregnant with Jon's baby, an heir to the throne. She can't give birth if she is dead. How do I know she is pregnant? She mentioned she can't have kids and The dragons were here kids in the scene on the boat. She again mentioned the kids thing at King's Landing to Jon,. who said maybe the witch wasn't reliable information. So that's two scenes they have metioned the kid thing. And then we saw them have sex. They are definitley laying the groundwork for her being pregnant with Jon's baby.
Which is kind of cool if you think about right now, the two main female protoganists are pregnant with a child, impregnanted by someone they are blood related to.
Yes...you are the only one.

Everyone looks at bran like he knows that they pick their nose when no one is looking.
im still uncertain why it took Sam to inform Bran that Jon’s parents were actually married. Was it just to allow it to be explained to the audience or does bran really have gaps in his knowledge? Why didn’t bran see that scene before Sam told him.
Based on what we have seen, my understanding is that Bran is not omniscient. He can go back and look at events that have happened, but until he does, he does not know of the details or is even aware of them. That takes time, and there are only so many hours in a day, so he has to be selective about it. Also, I don't know how the indexing works, but he's obviously able to look in on past events if he knows when/where they were. He was able to get all the dirt on Littlefinger, but that may have taken him weeks. I doubt the ability has a search feature..."show me all events where Littlefinger did bad shit."

Possibly because Bran=Night King and wants division.
I'm sure that's a popular theory in some special corner of the internet, but nothing at all points to that. Even if it were possible to to reconcile all the inconsistencies with it, there are a million other things Bran would be doing to ensure that the Army of the Dead wins if this were the case.

There really is no need for Dany now that Jon has his connections with the dragons. I think she get knocked off pretty early, Jon's heritage is revealed to the world, and he becomes the reluctant king. He pulls a George Washington, helps set up a representative republic and the Seven United States of Westeros are formed.
I disagree. I think there has been too many hints that Dany will have Jon's baby for it to not be true. I think Jon is more likely to get killed than Dany. Their baby will be the true heir to the Iron Throne.

As cheesy as it was, my only real complaint about the dragon riding scene was the timing of it. Bran had already noted the urgency of the situation when Jon and Dany arrived. Who the fuck is planning the defense? I can excuse a little romance using the Spies Like Us "let's go out with a bang" defense, but the activities and mood at Winterfell make it seem as though the army of the dead is months away instead of days.
If you are melting obsidian and reforging it into weapons, why are you making the pieces look like they were knapped by hand? Dumb.
Dany has always oscillated between lovably noble and annoyingly arrogant and entitled. Her first instinct is to play the "I have to be a total cunt to get respect" card. It makes it difficult to like her at times, but it completely fits her character, and is a reminder that the apple may not have fallen very far from the tree. It will be interesting, and likely unenjoyable to see how she responds to the big reveal. I agree that her initial instinct will be to assume that Sam is merely being vengeful. I also expect Jon to say that he does not care about the Iron Throne, which won't really help much. It will likely take some convincing by Bran, though he will first have to demonstrate his powers to her by telling her something personal that only she knows.
Dany's reaction to the big news isn't the only one that matters. Sansa and Arya will have to come to terms with it, as will all the house leaders of the North. Bran was adamant that Jon needed to know right now. Why? How does it help in the Great War? It could conceivably unite all of the armies at their disposal, but they pretty much already are, or they wouldn't all be in WInterfell to fight the common foe. It adds unnecessary friction at a time when it could do more harm than good.

I did not really enjoy that one so much. We had already done the "Moclans are evil sexists" thing. I get that they wanted a different take on the female planet scenario, but There was no need to revisit Moclan culture to do it. I like that Bortus is Worf with a lot of ridiculous twists, but he has been getting too much focus. They need to explore some of the other characters, races, and species a bit more. Seth tends to get too enamored with something, and then beats it to death. Still a fan, but that was a meh episode.

Holzhauer is still crushing it. Very knowledgeable, quick on the buzzer, effortlessly pulls answers under pressure, and not afraid to risk big bucks. It may bite him in the ass eventually, but so far, his big wagers have only added to his total. He did miss a Final Jeopardy question the other day, but it was a runaway, and so far, he has not risked enough to lose in those situations.

That’s asking a lot for a player to be able to sift through chaos to figure out they’re 100% safe. I feel like you may be still looking at it with hindsight and feeling like it was an easy decision. Easy for us on the couch without a stack of cash riding on it, But not so easy for the guy who is in the game, underfed and getting shitty sleep and going through the mental warfare of this game. Actually, it wasn’t easy for me. I had no idea which way the vote was going. Ron and Julie were still giving me the heebie jeebies.
That's what makes Wentworth not playing hers so impressive. I would have played it a long time ago.
