Game of Thrones, Season 7 episiode 5: Eastwatch. What do you think of the Quest Beyond the Wall...and how do you think it will play out

“We’re all breathing.”

—King Jon Snow the Astute

I think it was pretty bad-ass moment even though I think the idea (to capture a wight and bring it to Cersei) is totally…totally…totally…stupid.

Let me get this straight: they are going to run through a blizzard, one Valyrian steel sword, one flaming sword, four regular swords and a hammer — up against a huge, rapacious horde of thousands of ice demons and zombies and grisly looking skelatons — the same guys who tore it up in Hardhome — stealthily throw a net over one of the zombies, sling it over their shoulder and run back to the Wall with it squirming in the net or the sack or whatever?

Gee. What could go wrong with that brilliant plan?

Yeah. That’s not going to happen. It is stupid.

And this is not even Jon’s idea. It’s Tyrion’s. And the Hound is just like, “yep, sounds like a good idea. Let’s get goin’ boys. ”

Please.

As to my prediction of the Quest: 

Beric and Thoros get killed, like immediately.

 Jon kills a few monsters, as do Sandor, Gendry and Jorah. 

Then , they all realize what a ridiculously bad idea this was (The Hound says “Whose fucking idea was this? Yours? Because this was a stupid idea”) turn around and high tail it back to the wall as fast as their feet can carry them, pursued by the others. It ends on a cliffhanger. 

They pray on their feet for a deux ex machina.
