      You mean like God? I can't help but feel that the show is making a statement about the role, functions and limitations of deities here. Bran can potentially see everything but that does not mean he knows everything. He, for instance, had initially thought Jon was a Sand instead of a Snow, not a Targaryen. He's not omniscient so much as potentially omniscient. He also can see what's in the past and present but I doubt he has the gift of foresight. I also don't think he's still human enough to care whether the humans around him know what he knows.

    When you notice the whole series was about Arya and her training to become princess who was promised - from series one, she was being trained to be able to do exactly what she was supposed to do. By her dance master - What do we say to the god of death?, through tough times, training in Braavos. Jon was just fighter, but it was necessary to be able to be stealthy, know all ways of fighting. Bran saw it and that is why he gave her Valaryian dagger to kill Night King with.

    Arya killing the Night King gives new meaning to Jaqen H'ghar being in her life. Jaqen can change faces. If you were unaware of that, you would never be able to catch him. Or he could easily have killed anyone chasing him. Yet, there he was, in the prisoner cart heading to the Wall with Arya, begging the question: Did he allow himself to be caught, knowing he would encounter (someone like) Arya on the trip? Additionally, when Arya was training, there were several episodes and events that transcended simple use of faces. When the waif becomes Jaqen, and when Jaqen becomes Arya just as she went blind; this all implied (to me) that Jaqen was actually way more than he seemed. Perhaps he was even the Many Faced God's avatar, or even the god themself! This notion is paid off when you see that slight smile on his face when Arya tells him that "A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell, and I am going home." One could be forgiven if they thought this was the plan all along, so she could go and kill the Night King, who was stealing lives from the Many Faced God!

    Obviously this isn't over yet. Jon kept the dead dragon busy while Melisandre pointed Arya to her new target....

      It’s not about prediction it’s about all the prophecies & magic around it. Now we are watching the “house the dragon” & realising how important the night king theme was (which the show runner completely messed it up) This was not a story about a freaking throne (which the show runners made out of it) this was about “the song of ice & fir” which was aegon’s dream & every prophecies around the night king was related to either a targeryn (which is jon) or the prince\princess promised which can be either jon or deny not arya. So arya killing the night king doesn’t make sense at all.

      Arya killing the night king made a little sense, but not as much as Aegon having done it. In hindsight it was built up for Aegon to kill him. Everything he went through, it was personal and the writers felt it was better to subvert our expectations without earning it the GOT way.

    Beautiful,
    You are the *FIRST* youtuber that i have watched that realized the first time that this is why bran gave arya the valyrian knife.
    Bran was always able to see the future. He is a warg *and* a greenseer.
    You need those 2 on your cv to become the 3 eye raven.
    Bran was always able to see the future. Look at season 2, he saw the sea attacking winterfell and the next episode, the ironborn and theon attacked winterfell.
    Excellent writing indeed

      And Dany says “who manipulated whom” even though she manipulated the conversation right in that moment by saying she’s fighting “Jon’s war.” That’s not Jon’s war. Battle of the Bastards is Jon’s war, the White Walkers are not. The army of the dead threatens Dany’s reign, so of course she’s going to help.

    As promised with the last episode, here comes the battle stupidity. First and foremost, the onager (catapult) and trebuchet placement was horrifyingly bad. You NEVER place them outside the wall because they're too easy to overrun. 2nd, the only reason you use a cavalry charge is to hurt an enemy's morale but since they're undead they have no morale or life to lose. 3. You REALLY don't use a cavalry charge with light cavalry because they are skirmishing troops meant for light hit and run tactics and to get them bunched up in a bunch of infantry is just begging for them to get pulled off their horses and killed. 4th, there should have been SEVERAL ditches and stake lines with archers between each line and considering the wolfs wood was right on their doorstep it should have been simple to do. 5. There should have been a moat around Winterfell. They had several thousand able bodied men and women to dig it and several weeks if we're to believe Sansa being in charge of the castle prep. MINIMUM there should have been a moat around the immediate area of the gatehouses. You didn't even have to fill it in because the white walkers would have been able to freeze the water but they wouldn't have been able to stack on top of each other nearly as easily and breach the wall like that. 6. You don't have the bulk of your army outside the castle like that with the exception of your archers (who would have been protected by the ditches and stake pits and would withdraw behind the next line of stakes when 1 portion is overrun and finally into the castle when the last ditch is overrun). You'd possibly have your cavalry in reserve along the edges of the castle to perform a flanking/pincer maneuver from outside of the side sally ports. 7. If your enemy is standing within arrow range and not shooting stuff at you, you would definitely fire at them. 8. Wooden hoardings should have been constructed along the towers and bridges (again the fact that a forest is within close range and there were thousands of people to do so who were apparently twiddling their thumbs for weeks) 9. It was stupid of them to put the weakest within the crypts. Jon KNEW the night king could raise corpses but put the weakest in danger. There is more, but you probably didn't read the entire thing anyway. lol Love ya darlin

      If George R.R Martin ever gets around to writing the battle I'm pretty sure it will be very different if for no other reason than Winterfell being a much bigger castle in the books. The battle of the Blackwater bay for instance was very different in the books,and GRRM has read enough history to know some of the battle strategies used in medieval warfare even though they are facing undead monstrosities.

    ''That night she dreamt that she was Rhaegar, riding to the Trident. but she was mounted on a dragon, not a horse. When she saw the Usuper’s rebel host across the river they were armored all in ice, but she bathed them in dragonfire and they melted away like dew, and turned the Trident into a torrent. Some small part of her knew that she was dreaming, but another part exulted. This is how it was meant to be.'' - Daenerys, ASOS
    ''The red door was so far ahead of her, and she could feel the icy breath behind, sweeping
    up on her. If it caught her she would die a death that was more than death, howling
    forever alone in the darkness. She began to run.
    The door loomed before her, the red door, so close, so close, the hall was a blur around
    her, the cold receding behind... She could smell home, she could
    see it, there, just beyond that door, green fields and great stone houses and arms to keep
    her warm, there. She threw open the door.
    And saw her brother Rhaegar, mounted on a stallion as black as his armor. Fire
    glimmered red through the narrow eye slit of his helm. “The last dragon,” Ser Jorah’s
    voice whispered faintly. “The last, the last.” Dany lifted his polished black visor. The face
    within was her own.'' - Daenerys, AGOT

    The show leads you to believe there will be some Jon and Night King showdown, but really it wouldn't make sense for the Night King to face Jon in single combat after what he saw at Hardhome, knowing that if Jon does win he loses an army of 100k+ in one fell swoop.

    Bran gave her that dagger for that reason. You can see a very faint smile from Bran at the Night King right before Arya appears. All of her training has led to this moment. From balancing, to chasing cats, to water dancing. And the switch of the hands Serio taught her. Jon was the catalyst in her killing him, by giving her needle and encouraging Arya to be Arya. I think he yells at Viserion because he is frustrated because Viserion is doing all he can do to block Jon from getting to the Night King. Hope you are OK.

    I think my issue is more that each half of this season could or should have been a short season in itself because the enormity of each was kind of… stunted, the way it happened?

      The Night King never was the series ultimate baddie. Much of the hate on the last episodes us because ppl didn't see the ultimate villain AS a villain before... you know.

    John didn't light the trench because he didn't see it, and he didn't see the signal either. It became visible only after it was set on fire. Think about it.
