It's interesting that the zombie showdown is coming in episode 3... I was kind of expecting it closer to the end of the series...
The zombie battle will take up most of the next episode or two...
Then what...
Show down with Circe prolly... will the zombies be entirely defeated? Or will they continue to be part of the narrative...
Will Circe arrive to "save the day"... once the rest are sufficiently weakened so as not to contest her...
This seems like a possibility.
I think something along those lines. There's an after story once the dead are dead-dead and the leader of the world is chosen. We also need a chunk of the last episode for all the feel-good/after care stuff that the audience needs. (What's the end story for all the characters still living. Married? Pregnant? Moving to Hawaii?)
I read a theory that Mr. Night King won't fall for Bran's trap, because he's taking dead-dragon on a ride to King's Landing, or to go South of Winterfell at least, to hit Winterfell where it's not prepared to battle. Seems entirely plausible.
I don't see Dany nor Jon alive by the end. If I had to choose one to live, my money is on Jon. Dany's a goner.
