Not everybody knew. I certainly didn't. As obsessed with the show as a I am, I avoided all talk, websites etc., when it came to the show. If you read the books, I didn't want to hear about it. If you had any guesses as to who his parents were or what was about to happen to this or that character, I wanted you to keep it to yourself. I wanted to learn everything on my own. So to me, that Jon Snow baby face transitioning to the current Jon Snow face was perfect.

I knew about this theory but I'm with crater, that transition was perfect. I was looking forward to the confirmation of his parents. Only because of this, I forgive the writers of the show. That flashback took way too long to end.

This is me. I have watched most of the first two seasons though...so maybe not quite as bad as the girl in the vid.

We know the Mad King stashed wildfire all around below King's Landing. In a very short interaction in the 8th or 9th episode of the past season, Qyburn confirms to a vengeful Cercei that it's still there, and in great quantities.

I just learned that Neil Fingleton who played Mag the Mighty died on the 25th.
He was a legit giant himself, standing 7'7".

I didn't watch it. You know how I am with spoilers
And to be honest with you, I also didn't read your comment just in case you talked about something in the trailer

The best bit of the trailer was when Danerys used Jamie's golden hand to punch Cerci's chest through her back and feed her heart to the dragon.
And Tyrion drinking Jon's blood from a white walker's hollowed out skull!

Though Season 7 episode lengths may, in the end, shift a little between now and their air date, HBO.com has revealed massively super-sized, record-breakingly long episodes on its schedule.
Here is the breakdown, via Watchers on the Wall, of the official runtimes on HBO.com:
Though you may be used to thinking of Game of Thrones as an hour-long show, the average running times over the course of seven seasons have actually stayed in the 54:25-56:08 range, Watchers reports. The site also points out that the previous record-holder for longest episode ever was last year’s action-packed finale, “The Winds of Winter,” which came in at 68 minutes. Those extra minutes last year allowed for the show to take its time with a stunning, mood-setting opener set to Ramin Djawadi’s haunting track “Light of the Seven.” But Season 7, Episode 6 will outpace even last year’s finale, and this year’s finale will have 13 more juicy minutes to play with. In the context of Game of Thrones, that’s a lifetime.
The total runtime of Season 7 is, Watchers tabulates, 7 hours 20 minutes. Compared with the usual 9 hours 15 minutes of a 10-episode season, that may still seem spare. But it’s essentially eight episodes worth of time stuffed into a seven-episode package.

Of course I loved the episode. Especially the giants marching with the White Walkers and the Arya/Frey scene. Her body count is growing rapidly
I've not watched any of the previews or read anything but I have a feeling that the same magic that allowed the Night King to enter the tree of the Three Eyed Raven due to him touching Bran, is the same magic that will allow the White Walkers and the dead to march right into the Walls tunnel for the same reason. Bran shouldn't have passed through the wall.
