> [@Lantern](#): > > The plot armor and deus ex machina are ridiculous now. Clearly we are far away from the show where Eddard Stark was executed and the Red Wedding happened. It’s a still a fun show though and I am looking forward to dragon v dragon action next season. I believe someone here called it in the last thread. > > BTW did anyone else feel that the army of the dead aren’t much of a threat on the evidence of this episode? Podrick Payne could probably beat a quarter of the army on his own. Yes, the wights were being dismantled quite easily. As for plot developments in episode 6 that were called in last episode’s thread: the death of Thoros was also predicted (in addition to the death of a dragon/gain of a dragon for the Night King). Someone mentioned the possibility of Cersei being killed next episode. That would be extremely surprising, as it would change the war-on-two-fronts facing Daenerys to a war on one front. (No one who might take Cersei’s place in King’s Landing is as satisfying a villain as Cersei, or as likely to present a real threat to Jon and Daenerys.) IF Cersei were to die next episode, though, I’d certainly have to take back my claim that the show’s overall plot is predictable! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-of-thrones-7-06-beyond-the-wall-8-20-17/794223)._
