After a shot of Drogon ready to breathe fire, we're into the main event. The battle lines have been drawn, with Brienne and Pod (yes, Pod!) standing at the front of the line, backed by Knights of the Vale. This is it, the moment they've all been dreading and unable to avoid.

And there it is. The conclusion that won't so much send chills down your spine as it will freeze it solid. As Jorah and co look on, and undead horse plants its hooves down in sight of Winterfell, with a White Walker almost certainly on its back. This is it. The Battle of Winterfell. The Battle for the Dawn. Living vs Dead. It is on. Holy s**t!
