The Stark are predicting it since the first season and finally it happened: came winter. The army of the night is on the doorstep of Winterfell, after razing the Millennium wall and northernmost castles of Westeros. The struggle between the living and the dead, comes the further advance of the entire series, that is also probably the most devastating. The third episode of the season will be dedicated to the battle of Winterfell and have no time for goodbyes. Why the second episode it took moments to reflect the road travelled by each of the characters, how they got to where they are and why it is important that they are there. He was one of the best episodes of Game of Thrones until now, an episode of characters, accurate dialogue and human relations. It will be the last time that they are all alive and all on the same side. Now comes the war with white walkers and we finally know what is your goal. Apart from the death of all humans, want really the King of the night is to remove your memory. And that memory is Bran Stark, or rather the eyes three Crow, who has the wisdom of the entire history of Westeros.
Bran Stark says that the King of the night will come looking for him
The strategy will be to use the young Stark as bait to attract the King of night, since defeating it may be the only way of ending his innumerable army without losing all the forces in the attempt. At the suggestion of the footballer Bran Stark, he’s going to wait for it under the Arciano in the forest of the gods of the Castle. And who accompany him shall be Theon Greyjoy, who also volunteered to amend their mistakes of the past. But the funny thing is that the King of the night did not appear at the head of his army in the last scene of the previous episode, nor his now Viserion ice dragon. Some theories say that their tactic might be to send his Army North to sow as much destruction as possible, as it heads South through the skies to attack King’s landing by surprise. If this were the case, the company Golden and Euron Greyjoy army also would suffer significant casualties before the grand final, leaving level forces where defeated white walkers and face for the throne.
Everyone bring your look to outline the strategy battle
Meanwhile, in Winterfell are already given the strategic formations to confront the army of the night, as we saw in the previous episode. Sir Davos Seaworth will be responsible to the signal from the towers on the trenches, when the Inmaculados may not already contain the advance of the walkers white towards the walls of Winterfell.Sir Brienne of Tarth will be in charge of the left flank, commanding Jamie Lannister, Podrick Payne and the army of the Arryn and other loyal to the Stark homes. We know that between them they have two swords of steel valyrio, which gives them great chances to survive: Brienne is armed with “Oathkeeper”, the sword that Jaime gave him when they arrived at King’s landing (which she mentioned in this episode, to defend it). It was forged with the molten sword of Ned Stark, “Ice”, as well as the weapon that Jaime came wielding to Winterfell and was returned to him after his trial: “Widow’s lament”. It was named by the hateful Joffrey and dying Tommen inherited it. Or that it somehow, is as if the sword of Ned Stark was defending Winterfell. Very poetic whole.
Jaime said that he would “die in the arms of the woman who loves”
For his part, Sir Jorah Mormont now wields “Heartsbane”, the sword of steel valyrio belonging to the Samwell Tarly family stole from his father before leaving Hill Horn to go to study to Antigua, where he met and healed psoriagris Jorah. In the last episode we saw Sam giving the sword, before saying that they would return to see when it all ended. Then we see it along with Edd and Jon Snow on the battlements, the last three survivors of the guard of the night, recalling his old friends. But when suggest you to Samwell that he should hide in the crypt next to Gilly and little Sam, shows offended and reminded that it was one of the first to defeat a white Walker and survived in the fist of the first men. Another who refuses to take shelter in the crypts is the small Lyanna Mormont, having a discussion with his cousin Jorah leaving clear his position and his desire to fight at the front of the battle with his men.

According to the plan of battle which was shown in the last episode, the army of House Mormont will be the last line of defense in Winterfell, probably guarding the gates of the Crypts. The vanguard outside the Castle will be the Cavalry (with two Dragons?) and all the army of the Inmaculados. While the right flank by Jon command the army of the Stark, defending Bran and the garden of the Dioses.Como we could see, Arya Stark already has his spear forged by Gendry and is ready with his new weapon, the “Needle” sword and the dagger of vidriagon belonging to the treacherous pinkie. Meanwhile, the Inmaculados army prepares stakes and trenches of vidriagon to halt the advance of the white walkers, and worm gray says goodbye to Missandei to command his army, in what probably will be his last battle.
It is not a good omen to these characters to talk about what they will do next
The Crypts of Winterfell are the place where the weak take refuge while the Warriors fought the battle to defend the city. The strategy is to prevent white walkers coming up to there and thus safeguard the future of the houses. But if there is anything we know about the army of the night that they can revive the dead to his will… and the Crypts, are precisely filled with dead. Hopefully they aren’t. Among the refugees in the crypts is Tyrion Lannister, by order of Daenerys. While the hand of the Queen was about to fight, she ordered that it is safe to preserve his mind, since it will be needed to survive and go to claim the throne. Tyrion is the only one smart enough to go to speak with Bran and ask him what above all knows, and moment later can see it optimistic in the makeshift stove will hear what gives you hope?
What the production team asked this year really never has been done before on television or in film.
This is one of the more anticipated by the creators of the series, which ensure both fans will be an unprecedented event. We expect that not only the battle is epic, but also the interactions between the characters and the narrative within this war episode.

It was also compared with the battle of the helm’s in “The Lord of the Rings: the two towers”, taking it as reference to overcome in terms of level of production and duration refers. The battle of Winterfell was filmed at night in conditions icy for eleven weeks and promises to be the most epic thing we’ve seen so far. The head of this madness is Miguel Sapochnik, who already was in charge of the episodes of “Hardhome” and the “battle of the bastards”. This will have a duration of one hour and 22 minutes, the longest of the season. In this note:
