The Long Night is one of the greatest episodes I've seen in any TV show. The entire sequence, starting when that piano hits... from Sansa taking out a dragonglass and Tyrion looking so helpless then kisses her hand... to the Night King arriving in the godswood and staring at Bran...
And in those moments, I have forgotten about Arya, thinking her scene was done... so when she appeared out of nowhere (I mean, Jaqen, the faceless man, appeared out of nowhere like that in "Valar Morghulis"), I was in awe with anticipation, every emotion I have ever felt was there, ranging from "Yesss" to "Oh nooo," until she finally stabbed him and the character shattered. I was beyond relieved, just like how Arya felt at the end. It was one of the most breathtaking moments I've ever seen. You have no idea how intense and then bleak, and then hopeful again watching that whole episode. It was simply perfect.

Edit/Update: I have a new theory why the Night King never saw Arya at all from the future—if he can indeed see bits and fragments, at least, like Bran—solely because she was meant to go to King's Landing. But changed course when Hot Pie told her about Jon Snow.
Remember when Bran reunited with Arya at the godswood (S7E4), he mentioned, "I thought you'd go to King's Landing." The new Three-Eyed Raven was totally convinced she was heading there, but now that she's in Winterfell, this must be how he "manipulated" the events and "controlled" the future outcome without the Night King ever knowing she would be the one to kill him.
Who do you think is the Lord of Light? I once had an idea that it might be the Night King, but thinking about it now and after re-watching all the episodes for the umpteenth time, I am a bit certain it was... let's see shall we.
I always thought the gods in Westeros/Essos don't exist. Only magic from the Children of the Forest and impeccable bloodlines (like the Starks, Faceless Men, etc.) that were descendants from the Children and the First Men/Andals. The people who possessed warg, necromancy, and the sight have abilities that can enter and see from the eyes of the animals (humans if it's very powerful like Bran) and weirwood tree, and also can witness the past, present, and fragments of the future. The only candidates were the Night King and the Three-Eyed Raven. Therefore, I conclude, with little certainty, that the Lord of Light (which the worshipers thought he is real and the one true god, but not really) is Bran the Broken/Three-Eyed Raven.
But to quote Beric Dondarrion, I don't think it's our purpose to understand, maybe that's enough. #gameofthrones #lordoflight #arya #nightking

![Talisa As A Spy, Or The Day Robb Stark Lost the War (Game of Thrones Theory)
One of the famous theories from book readers is that Jeyne Westerling was one of the spies for the Lannisters, or was it her mother the actual spy? Im not sure. She was changed, however, as Talisa Maegyr in the show, but there were still hidden clues or, inadvertently, key pieces for the theory to be real.
Arya spying Tywin was somewhat a mirror to Talisa spying Robb. The writers may have changed this subplot, but its still cool to see the parallels. The specifics here are that Talisa was once a Lannister spy, but later fell in love. Early on, she wrote and gave them info like troop movements, nothing more. Of course Talisa stopped after they had bonded and got married.
Nobody knew she was part of the Lannisters intel, except maybe Tywin. As soon as he discovered Robb got married, he orchestrated the most gruesome massacre in the Seven Kingdoms. Talisa had no idea she would be murdered, as Walder and Roose didnt know about her, and Tywins plan was to eliminate every Stark and army on that wedding. The killing of her baby (and herself) was definitely the Freys doing, as they didnt want any heir or rightful successor for King Robb.
As for Roose Bolton, he already despised Robbs plans and thought the Lannisters, with the Freys backing and Karstarks mutiny, would win this war. He was probably the last guy to join the alliance. But once the Boltons re-captured Jaime, that was maybe the right opportunity to side with the enemy. The finishing blow to Robb as Roose uttered, The Lannisters send their regards, was a perfect and evil sendoff knowing Jaime had requested this earlier. Theres an interesting take regarding Jaime knowing the Red Wedding all along, but thats for another video.
Whether that entire theory be true or not, it was tragic to see the complete journey of Robb and how he f*cked it up and lost the war. Ive tried to find all the clues of the Red Wedding, but its hard to gather every clip with the highest quality, so these scenes were all I could stitch together. Also, I may have started a wrong interpretation about the first seed of Tywins plan on how to defeat Robb Stark. It was his interaction with Arya that planted the idea, but its merely a silly theory of mine. Anyone can be killed is the line, in case you missed it or have no idea what Im talking about.
Nevertheless, the scene with Robb and Jaime on Season 2, Episode 1 (The North Remembers), is one of my favorites in Game of Thrones, and perhaps my absolute favorite season premiere. The dialogue and interaction here was riveting, impressive back-and-forth, and then culminated it with a jaw-dropping and first appearance of Grey Wind as a grown dire-wolf.
[My original description from the old video]
If the sound is not in sync, then I blame my headphones. It sounded right while editing it.
The character of Talisa was a show-invention only, not very similar to the book counterpart. Its widely known or theorized in the books (according to book-readers) that Jeyne Westerling was a Lannister spy... But what if Talisa was indeed a spy that accidentally fell in love with Robb Stark. Her non-existent accent was one of the many peculiar things about her, as well as the constant butting in or trying to catch Robbs attention.
So when Roose Bolton and Walder Frey betrayed the Starks with the support and backing of Lannisters, they had no idea about this mysterious foreign beauty (only Tywin and his council). Yeah, it doesnt matter at the end, but its still fun theorizing all the motivations of the characters, especially the minor/supporting ones. #gameofthrones Talisa As A Spy, Or The Day Robb Stark Lost the War (Game of Thrones Theory)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oAYai1UrZGE/mqdefault.jpg)
