Supposedly, it is going to be the longest battle scene ever put on film. They went through 4,000 gallons of fake blood.
There doesn’t seem to be much more to say, do or show anywhere else. Kings Landing? Citadel? Red Witch?
Otherwise, it is right to it at Winterfell.
Those outside the walls seem likely to go first (Brienne, Greyworm, maybe Jamie). Dragons might be engaged/exposed early on too. Night King can probably build a ramp of wight’s bodies, and get over the walls to go through Theon to get Bran. Maybe they will get pressed all the way back into the crypts.
They have had a history of relief columns coming to the rescue, just when the battle looks really grim (Tywin at Blackwater, Knights of the Vale at battle of the Bastards).
Who could come to rescue this time? Cersei with the Golden Company? The Red Witches with magic, or forces from Volantis? Iron Islanders? Howland Reed? Children of the Forest? Supernatural reinforcements from the Crypts beneath Winterfell? Blowing the Horn of Winter? Just a sudden lucky shot to the Night King?
My prediction: People are going to die!
