Theres no way the NK dies in the 3rd episode, I can see her dying for sure.
But Im pretty sure Jamie comes full circle and pulls a Kingslayer, and hes the one who defeats the NK
I think they'll have the NK story line wrapped up by episode 4's end. They still have to deal with Cersei and the Golden Company.
They could someone combine the two battles/story lines, in that case you'd be right. I just think they'll segment the two. Either way, should be a fantastic ending!

No way they could have mashed E1 and E2 together. The pacing of E1 was already way too fast. I'm real happy that E2 had some decent pacing, having some breathing room for characters to react and interact instead of just 1-2 lines and scene. It makes the dialogue a lot more natural.
And definitely some of those are going to fall. I can definitely see Theon dying too, his story has now come full circle. Jaime hasn't had his major redemption moment yet, which I do feel is coming. Either by sacrificing himself for Brienne (or someone else) or by killing NK.
Also thrilled to see so many callbacks and a lot of foreshadowing concluded. Remember Robert Baratheon in S1? "I have a son, you have a daughter. We'll join our houses." Or the Jenny of Oldstones song, so haunting. Beautiful singing by Pod too!
All in all a lot better episode than E1. Really looking forward to what happens now.
I don't think episode 1 had a ton of filler for a regular episode. I'm basing that more off we have a lot of stories to conclude with 6 episodes this season. In that constranct, i felt it was puffed up.
I really enjoyed EP2. The song was awesome, with the cuts to the various characters waiting for their demise. The hero's by the fire getting drunk cut was awesome. Jamie knighting Breanne, Tormund's added comedy, Sir Davos hangin round ( I did like his callback to Shireen with the scarred little girl - you could see he was caught off guard with her at the soup line). I like the episode more and more as I think about it.
