Yup without the book guidance this season has been quite mediocre. Like you said the decision that people take make zero sense. Too much decision was made either to make it more dramatic or to force the story. Plus what with the pacing, I heard hbo wanted 10 episodes but the creator want only 7. Should have gone for 10 episodes and slow down. 

The pacing is terrible.  Look at the events even in the last 2 episodes.  Wherever those guys were, north of the wall, Gendry ran back to the wall in 1 night.  But, from the same spot, the white walkers make it there in the same amount of time that Jon and gang take the weight to King's Landing and have a meeting and head back again.

Also:  Shout out to Jon Snow for taking his own advice last episode:

Hey maybe the white walker is just that slow

They should have ride south. It will take the white walker decades or even centuries to reach them.

White walkers taking over the land and turning everybody into zombies would be my preferred ending. But the show has gone soap opera soft, so I think it will be King Jon and Queen Dany bringing peace and love for eternity. Whatever the case, I hope the grande finale isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

Then GOT will become some kind of prequel for Walking Dead 

I think one of them will die. Maybe jon. One thing for sure, Arya will kill the night king

I kinda figured that, since they said that targeryians married in house from the beginning. 

Knew this was going to happen.

Wasnt impressed much with the latest episode. The best thing was the reunion between Jaime and Bran!

I think it was a decent start. The horror-cliche-style umber boy scene gave me goosebumps albeit i expected it. Happy to see Tormund survived too (classic case of plot armour, no way he should have survived the breach of the wall). All Samwell scenes where excellently played. The scripting of the dialogues (esp the Dany-Jon ones) was not as poor as season 7 but obviously not as good as the seasons before.

btw my theory for how it all ends: Bran is the Night Kind obviously. Jamie kills Cersei. Cleganebowl is a draw, Arya finishes the mountain but spares the Hound. Danerys dies at childbirth, Kid is heir to throne but Tyrion, who gets resurrected by Melisandre at some point will rule for him. Jon dies too but no idea how. Bronn dies saving Jamie who dies saving Bran. Tormund and Brienne get their happy end, Grey Worm and Missandei not.

Wow, that could be some ending! 

2nd episode was great, lots of emotional scenes and a nice build up for the war that is on the way.

It's way too obvious if bran is the night king. Hope the writers don't go down that road.

Is not dany unable to have kids now?

That witch was ambiguous if she can have children or not but I'm pretty sure Jon and Dany will have a baby, fits perfectly with the story.

All I know is that alot of people are going to die in the next episode and we are going to see Jon going on a mad one as per.

I thought the episode was a bit anticlimatic. Too easy
