I don't think that he will ride up to winterfell alone. Bronn will follow him and perhaps he will first go to Edmure's castle were many lannister soldiers still are camping. I think he will come to winterfell at the right moment to turn the battle. He is not as stupid as Cersai thinks he is when it comes to war.

The best in Lord of the Rings books for me was when the hobbits came back home from the war and saw that everything had changed and they had changed too. But it was not enough of this stuff, it still had the classic happy end like so many other fairy tales and fantasy books. Game of Thrones will be something else. The big bad boss is dead, the big threat is over, but there is still this crazy stupid fight for the power, the Game of Thrones. Who will rule? Who will have the power? Is that important? Would it make a difference for the folk if Dany or Cersei wins? If they had put the battle with the Night King at the end of the show, we could have got a good or a bad ending, nothing else. So now I am way more excited how it will go on and end.

My prediction still is the same as before. Dany will die, because now that her army is almost not excistend she will try to conquer Kings Landing with her dragon. The dragon will be killed and she too by Cersei, this will be shockingly brutal. Jon and the rest will come to late and he can only try to avenge her. They will all die in the dragon pits in a big explosion. The Hound and the Mountain will get their battle. Someone will kill Cersei, don't know who, perhaps one of her brothers or Arya. Hmm, perhaps the kingslayer will become a queen slayer too and kill his sister, that would fit. Arya will survive all this and end on the throne with gendry or she will leave the game of thrones and the continent for a different life. That would leave Sansa on the throne. Sam will write all down.

What I still don't get is why the Night King was realy after Bran. I don't know what Bran did in the big battle, but I think sitting there and switching in crows was
not the only thing he did. Perhaps we will get the true story about the Night King, the Others and the Starks in the prequel.

If you don't have enough dragon glass, valyerian steel and time to forge it, you can't equip everyone. Would you have the dothraki hiding in the crypt? They were needed on their horses and I don't think that they thought they can defeat the dead. They should strike quick with their horses and then fall back again and.....the plan was to lure as many dead as possible chasing the dothrakis back in the fire trap.
The dothraki were not meant as a weapon, they were a decoy. It doesn't went well, okay, but it was a plan. How would you have used them? If they were equiped with dragon glass and valyerian steel they wouldn't used them upfront.

Very little time to do it? We will see more TV Shows in the Game of thrones universe! They have all the time they want. https://mashable.com/2018/06/08/game-of-thrones-prequel-hbo/?europe=true :
"The series will take place during the "Age of Heroes," thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones. HBO stated that the show will reveal "the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to [and] 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."

Thrones fans can officially get hype, because the Age of Heroes is when the Long Night, the first clash between humanity and the original White Walkers took place, meaning the show may finally answer how the humans beat them last time, as well as showing how they built the Wall to keep them out. "

You know nothing Jon Frolic!
There are so many books with the history of Westeros and the Thargaryans allready written, that have so cool plots.... I can‘t wait to see more!!!!

Bran can not see everything from the past. Only things not far away from the trees with faces.

This is a show in a fantasy world with dragons, magic and undead....but everybody is nitpicking about details. Is it perfect? No! But it's my favourite show on TV. If it's as bad as all the comments hear are making it, why do you all watch it? I still think it something we never have seen before on TV. It's one of the best TV Shows at the moment and I can't wait for the next episode.

Ok you don't get what I wanted to say so I give you one example:

So Bran can only see things around a certain area of weirwood trees and things related to his ancestors!
I made this up, cause I don't know why he can't see what has happened in Kings Landing. And I know nobody that can explain how Brans powers are realy working cause this is a TV show, a book and fantasy. It's not the real world, GoT is not a sience, or real history. It's like a fairy tale told to us before sleeping time and you can explain everything with your own fantasy, magic and imagination. They don't have to explain every little detail. Details are not making a story real or true. The only thing that matters is how important the story becomes for you as a listener, reader or watcher and how much you get involved in the story. And I don't know an other show that gets so many people involved in the characters.

No, I don't think "because GoT has magic simple logic shouldn't apply". I think cause it's fiction, a TV show and cause it's something that should be entertaining and fun to watch it doesn't need to focus extreme on details as you guys think it should. But I can speak only for myself, it is not important for me and my question just was why you all watch this show when you can't enjoy it cause of the details? It's a TV show nothing more and there are limitations with TV shows, but for me it's still the best TV show and I can live with all those flaws and still think it's great in what it does and what it wants to be.
George R Martin killed John Snow in the books the way he did cause he lost a football bet in real life. That's why a Giant died too by the hands of a knight with a star on his shield. (NY Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys). I remember
when I read this part of the book, that I got so angry about that this character died I threw the book through the air against a wall. And that is the thing that is important for me. It is not often that fiction get me emotional and caring about characters and what happens next. There is so much talk about logic and technical details here and I still think, those things are not important to get extremly right in the details for this show. All that is important is that you care for the characters and that you want to know what will happen next. It's entertainment and not news or a sience report. I don't need a building instruction how the ballistas work and I don't need to know how the ammunation is stored. Missandre got killed, and I hate Cersei! That's what important. The first three Star War movies were great, entertaining and fun, also they were sometimes stupid in details and unlogical. Sometimes other things are more important to make a story great.

I think:
Jamie will kill Euron and dies killing Cersei. Daenerys will kill Varis and many people in Kingslanding.
Jon or Tyrion, I think Tyrion, will kill mad Daenerys. Mountain and Hound will kill each other. Sansa will betray Tyrion and he will get executed.

Varys tried to poison her, she knew this and that's why she didn't eat. And what many don't understand, she is not the "Mad Queen" driven by her rage. The whole time her main goal was to become ruler of westeros. She helped to kill the night king and almost lost her dragons and army. But her goal was, that after she helped the people would accept her. But the people didn't love her, she saw that everybody wants to put Jon on the throne. Even people close to her like Varys. So if she still wants to become the supreme Queen of this land and if she can't rule because of love, there is still fear!!! The people have to fear her to accept her as their queen. She had to kill him and everybody in her way without mercy. She thinks, the only way to become the Queen is to rule with terror. Her way is terrorism, that's why the destroying of Kings Landing looks like 9/11. That is not a twist and it isn't bad writing and out of character. She believes what she does is the right thing, like every other dictator did, like Hitler did. We have enough examples in history and real life that could be used for what's happening in this tale.

Now after the last episode I think that Bran will be King and that the theory that Game of Thrones is George RR Martins answer to Tolkiens Lord of the Ring is true. It would explain everything:

That makes him the best choice for the job. ;P

Perhaps the night king was not so evil as we think, his only
goal was to kill Bran. But perhaps not cause he wanted to wipe out
every memory of mankind. I had problems with this story arc too,
but what if Bran becomes the new almighty king with a database like
a super K.I. And he changed the past with all his powers to get
there. Big Bran is watching you! What if the game of thrones was
his game and the night king was the only force that could have
prevent this future? Perhaps "it's not the story we think we
know".

HBO about the Prequel Show:
"Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of
Thrones, the series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden
Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. From the horrifying secrets of
Westeros’s history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the
mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is
for sure: It’s not the story we think we know."

Perfect ending! it was even better than I thought it would be. I think when more people will think about everything and watch it again and when more people will start to understand what happened they will start to appreciate it. Bad writing???? It's a masterpiece!!!

And you think it would be the right choice for the new king to betray now peaceful allies and to overrule justice? That would not break the wheel.

That are no writing flaws. It's a message and a story, perhaps you don't like what the artists and the writers wanted to say. That's ok. But I am sure that the ending was like they wanted it to be from the beginning.

They are not going out of character. Watch it again. It's a very complex show and it plays with expectations. I think a Bertolt Brecht would have realy liked this show, it's "Epic theatre" like the way he did.

I was totaly sure that Bran will be the new king. Won a big bet!!!. Why do you think the Night king was so fixed to kill him? Everything makes sense, but you have to think about it alot, give it a chance.

And you would have a new war with Asha. The game of thrones would go on.

Watch the scene between Jon and Tyrion in jail again. Tyrion explained to Jon, that he was blind about Dany. But her actions in kingslanding are rooted in her doings before. Just we, like Tyrion, couldn't see the bad she did, cause she did it to bad people. Watch again her expression and words at the end of the scene when they killed her brother. She was mad from the beginning. The only thing different is, that we didn't like her enemys before.
If we watch this scene again with the things we now know, we see her totaly different:

Even Tyrion is unsure about the future, he said to Jon he should ask him again in 10 years if their plan will have worked out. Who knows, perhaps you are right and it can't go the right way. But they want to break the wheel and end the fight and the game of thrones. And the only way to start this is to give justice to Jon and send him to the wall. And that is the question were we started: It's not a writing flaw that they send Jon to the wall only because you think that their plan won't work. I think after all they are gone through it's very believable that they want to start something new.

Bran is the rightful king. He holds the mind and memorys of the Three Eyed Raven. And was choosen by him to become the next. The Three eyed Raven, before Bran became the new one, was Brynden Rivers, called Lord Bloodraven and the bastard son of Aegon IV Targaryen, he was "A thousand eyes, and one". Brynden Rivers called a Great Council to discuss the disputed of succssion, long ago. And now they did the same, the Bloddravens plan had worked out and was fullfilled. Bran is rightfully the new king choosen by a council. This is all way to complex to capture it in a TV Show so it makes sense for everyone. But it makes this show so great.

The council in the end, when they choose Bran as the new king and mark Jon as a Kingslayer sending him to the wall has to be seen in context with the council that happened years ago. They marked Brynden Rivers as a kingslayer and he had to go to the wall. Like it or not. But the more you will read the more you will understand it.

We will see in the prequel the creation of the Night King and the truth about the starks. Perhaps Bran or Bloodraven had something to do with this.
And yes, they always said, that the night king wants to end all life, and that he is bad. But his only goal we can be certain of was to kill Bran. Perhaps he just wanted to protect and save his folk? Perhaps he knew, that Bran will become King. I have no clue about his motives.
