He should fire his agent.
Oooh I have a great chance to do what you like to do! In the end of the episode there are talks with the show runners and they confirmed that she has feeling for Jaime, but has never loved a man before, so she can't quite figure out what these feelings mean.
I turned out all the lights in the room and that helped with the night scenes.
And I disagree with them.
Which is usually rare, but has happened 3 times already this season and we've only had two episodes.
I disagree with how they wrote Sansa in the season premiere, I disagree with how they wrote Jon in this episode, and I disagree with how they characterized the "Jaime knights Brienne" scene and what was going through Brienne's mind during it.
No, that doesn't make strategic sense at all. If the White Walkers just head on south towards Kings Landing, they'll have a large force attacking them from the rear the entire way south. Not a good scenario.
However, if the Night King split his forces and put enough troops into pinning the forces in Winterfell while rest went down to King Landing . . .
But my sense is that the Night King has enough forces to swamp Winterfell. Might as well defeat the forces in Winterfell for good and increase their own forces in the process before rolling south.
So, why are you complaining about them wasting time then? It seems like it's all according to plan.
Oh well, it's their story not yours/ours.
I think their plan for the Night King is ridiculous and doomed for failure! One theme of this episode was underestimating an opponent (i.e., Cersei).
How likely is it that the Night King would fall for such an obvious trap? Not very! He'll sense Bran there and simply command thousands of troops to take him. Attempting to isolate the Night King given their situation is a fools errand. He's surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops. We have to assume he has some intelligence.
No, I think the good guys will pay dearly for the gambit of risking a top asset. I'm guessing that Bran survives, but at great cost. The Night King will also survive, and I think the battle heads south.
I'd agree. I think episode 3 ends in disaster. Some characters will be able to flee, but mostly a disaster. That's when the real sense of desperation, and hey, we're fighting for our survival sinks in. Maybe even Cersei will get it?
I sincerely doubt Cersei will get it (at least not until close to the very, very end). She's a back biting, power hungry type person who wants things to herself.
I want it to be next week already, but at the same time I'm not quite ready to say bye to people. It's going to get very messy. 
There were lots of wonderful scenes this week about people possibly spending their last hours doing things. It was quite melancholy, but also funny in place.

If she hears that Winterfell was taken with ease and the dead have increased in numbers and heading towards her, it might prompt a rethink. Even if it doesn't, she'll be on the receiving end soon enough!
Maybe, but she's damn stubborn. That's one of her biggest flaws right there. Her own stubbornness and ego could spell the end of her.
That's definitely possible. However, her sense of survival might win out. I guess we'll see! Ultimately, I think she's a survivor and will be one of the last ones standing.
Beric Dondarrion has better credentials, and Jon is a poor second in the resurrection sweepstakes.
Sansa just declared the North would be in rebellion as soon as possible, then Jon made the claim to the throne to Daenerys' face. And Jon conspicuously forgot about ever having made love to her. Look at his body language when she's in the crypt, trying to cuddle. He rejected her. Daenerys would have to be a fool to misread all this. As Sansa said to her, me will do stupid things for a woman. Jon attacked Winterfell for Sansa, Jon will murder Daenerys for her. Jon has no duty to take the throne, but Sansa (and Sam too) wants Daenerys dead. As Cersei said, when you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. The thing is, Cersei and Tyrion and Varys and Davos and, yes, Sansa, signed up to play. Daenerys was drafted at birth. And of course, Daenerys has already done more good than anybody else in the series. Nobody, especially not the producers, have ever forgiven Daenerys for freeing the slaves (hence the preposterous storylines about how she was wrong.) No good deed goes unpunished, indeed. Hence the foolishness about her tyranny. Sansa, who has literally never done anything for anybody else that I can recall, is held up as a model of decency? Jon had to admit that Sansa didn't like him growing up, and I had to wonder why he thought she liked him now, as opposed to his army? When Jon asked her if she had any faith in him at all, she could barely bring herself to lie to him. Cersei sits on the throne, Cersei who has probably killed more people in cold blood than the Mad King, without the excuse of being mad, but the show is BSing about Daenerys potentially being a tyrant? Sansa prefers a weak Cersei on the throne to a strong Daenerys, especially one she thinks Jon loves. (Jon's love, and Daernerys' love for Jon, don't matter to her.)
Jon has turned on Daenerys without any explanation other than he's the true heir. If he has any desire for peace, it is incumbent upon him to either retract his threats, or ask to negotiate. Then and only then is it Daenerys' turn.
Most of all, of course, the whole notion that Daenerys' wanting to keep her birthright of the Iron Throne is wrong, ignores how the Starks wanting to keep their independent crown somehow isn't, is preposterous.
