    The Wight Walkers destroy the Wall, penetrated Winterfell like it was surrounded by wet cardboard, took out some 26000 people in a single night. But they were nothing? Okay then.

      And yet Sam fought them off for like 3 hours on the ground lmao, as did Jaime/Brienne pinned against a wall by like 400 of them, that's kinda my point.

        The dead weren't gifted fighters, they simply overwhelmed. Sam should have died, I think that was a mistake. But I also think that he'll show up again despite having been given a farewell this week.

          Sam should not have died. Sam is the one who lives and writes the history down. Those who live get to document what happened.

            If that was THE farewell, then I would take issue with him surviving. But again, I wouldn’t get hung up on it. So I tend to agree.

              I don't think Sam should've died either but the way those scenes were shot and how they just magically kept getting out of sticky situations was like the final scene of Space Jam or something.

                I wouldn't mind seeing Sam's fertile wife bite it. Give a nice tragic seasoning to his Thucydides bit.

                    Bran explained how the NK wanted to essentially erase history and have a permanent night basically. And to do that he needed to kill Bran.

                    As far as the NK's plot to kill him or Bran's involvement in that episode... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

                      Don't forget Podrick. The entire Dothraki horde wiped out in less than a minute, but one-handed Jaime, Brienne, and Podrick(!!!) are stacking up wight walkers like cordwood

                        By this point, Podrick has been training with Brienne for a couple of years. And Brienne is the only person to have bested the Hound in combat (Assassin Arya has yet to face him). While Pod may not be of Brienne's caliber, he must be pretty competent with a weapon after 2 years of her 1:1 tutelage.

                          So if you kill Magic Transtemporal Man the effect bounces back and forth through time and wipes them all out and changes all of history?

                            Bran was a walking history book, per the discussion Bran, Sam, Jon, etc. had when drawing up the battle plan. It was a bit thin, but it was the MacGuffin used.

                              its not about changing history its about denying history. If you kill Bran and destroy the citadel, there fails to be any record of history and if there is no record, there is no good way to determine the events of the past beyond archaeology.

                                Why would the NK care about erasing history? Possession is 9/10th of the law and he'd control all of Westeros.

                                I thought it was some mystical stuff, like uncreating all of reality throughout time or somesuch Heinleinian Eschatology.
