Jaime has come to far to turn back I think. I'd guess that Brienne dies in Jamie's arms, he loses Widow's Wail in battle, and somewhere along the line uses Oathkeeper to live up to "Kingslayer"

I think the theory that the WW army being split into two at this point is a good one. The Night King, with his dragon and a massive army are headed to King's Landing, with a smaller army in the north. I suspect poor Tyrion is going to be killed by an undead Cersei in the end, but who knows. For me it's all about just enjoying the ride for the last four episodes.
They know about the Dragon...Bran told them....I believe...
Bran definitely mentioned Wight-Viserion

Jamie is my favorite character but his story has come full circle, I think he dies. I did think Tyrion would as well but I change my vote he lives on and kills Cersei in the end.

I honestly expected more deaths. We all knew that Theon was going to go out in a similar fashion to what he did. I like that Arya is the one who killed the Night King. She did have some bad ass moments in this episode. I think most would have expected Jon to kill the Night King.

Honestly, the way the Night King died was ridiculous. It was cheesy as hell and a huge let down. I was expecting some kind of enormous revelation - some weird connection to Bran - and perhaps we learn a bit more about his mysterious past.
The way they built him up - it should have taken something extremely creative and unexpected to destroy him... but instead we got Arya flying out of nowhere and stabbing him with ease in a scene you'd expect from a cheesy action flick...
The most badass scene of the episode - when all those flaming swords went out.
Also - that episode was WAY TOO DARK. I get what they are trying to depict, but they didn't really find a practical balance there... there were times when I thought my TV was malfunctioning. And the action was too blurry with too many close-ups. I couldn't even tell who was who during the dragon scenes.
That episode was terrible. The wife and I spent more time trying to adjust our television so we could see something then we did enjoying the show. I always thought that GRRM hated the fact that the orcs in the Lord of the Rings were just evil. GRRM has said a number of times that ASOIAF was about the fact that there is no good vs evil and that everyone is a combination of both of them. That was not the case in GOT at all.
This episode was another dose in the reality that the shows creative team have no idea how to write. There is no depth to the show anymore. Having a character repeat what they said or did in an earlier episode (ie: "not today", "brown eyes, green eyes, blue eyes", drop the dagger into the other hand and stab) is not depth, it's laziness.
I just to look forward to watching the show every Sunday to see what was going to happen, now I feel like I have to watch it because I have come this far. The enjoyment I get out of it has decreased dramatically. For me, the show "jumped the shark" in the episode after Arya was stabbed by the waif. The show writers had an opportunity to show us why that happened or how she survived multiple stab wounds in her stomach and then jumping into a cesspool of a river with something great but instead they chose to say she just survived because we said so.
