The Brotherhood Without Banners Is Going North of the Wall

Published July 20, 2017 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hey guys, my names Logan Zap. BIG fan of the show.

So a couple things that maybe might been helpful for your deep dive. So last episode you ended saying the you were excited for the next 14 episodes, this season only has 7(6 left) and next year has 6. So before the premiere we only had 13 hours left (now 12 ep left), very sad.

So a couple tid bits, i think the season will end will the wall dropping and fading to black. So next season is a war pretty much every episode. Like you all mentioned, heavy forshadowing to how pivotal the wall is. It will be the chekhovs gun of the season.

I also agree, i thought those dragons on the wall of the war room were new. Also small interesting bit, dannys hair clip is a small metal dragon head if you look close when she walks by table. Not important, just like you guys said, the go into the finest detail.

The group that goes north definitely includes the BWB, you see Berric light his sword on fire and i think hes wearing heavy furs, maybe wildling gear. Jon snow is there as well for that though because you see him wearing the wildling furs north of wall in preview with them and Tormund.

Theres heavy forshadowing with the hound asking Berric why he keeps getting brought back. Hes probably gonna have to use his last bit of light left to revive someone, then he wont come back.

With the Arya scene, i dont think its finished. The singing thing can be thrown out i believe. You can see her sitting and she looks to see the location of all of the weapons, theyre far away in a pile. Only one soldier is close to sword. I believe she will kill them. They were youngs soldiers, so theyre not angry and bitter yet. They talk about how shit kings landing is. They talk about family. It humanises them, then makes it more interesting when they get The Needle.

Episode 3 is called something like cersei returns a gift. Euron might bring her some sand snakes that she sends to Illaria like when she was sent the necklace in a snake mouth.

Sam is looking through the ristricted books and just before he finds the page with the map showing the cave of dragon glass. You see a page with a curved dagger, The Catspaw Dagger. Coincidently the same one used to try to kill Bran season one. Also coincidently fallen into the hands of Ned Stark, then to Littlefinger who has it now. The magazine cover that came out a while ago with all the starks on it in their house garb, Arya has that same dagger on her waist. At the moment she obviously just has needle. How does she get it? Pry it from his cold dead hands? Dont know.

Something you guys might want to ponder. George RR martin recently talked in detail about Berric. He said hes basically a Wite revived by fire. The wites fite for the Night King, theyre raised by Ice. He said Berric is not of the living. His blood doesnt pump anymore. Hes essentially dead, and because of the amount of times hes witherin away but still has his mind. Does this shed light on Jon? Is he also dead? Blood no longer pumping? A Wite revived by Fire? Could he sit on the throne, would the land follow a dead king? Could he even father a child with the mother of dragons? Maybe he becomes new Night King on purpose to control them and save the people? Just spitballing.

Just some little brain snacks for you guys.

Once again, love the show. Cant wait for westworld to come back specifically to listen to your breakdowns again. If i got a shoutout, my watch could finally end.
