Someone who has seen the episode says it is in the 3 episodes. I guess it will depend on your favorites. They are not really fighting for anything in this battle, it is more of a random battle. But the scale and the logistics are better than the Battle of the Bastards. But the Battle of the Bastards was a fight for Winterfell you don't get much higher stakes than that, in bigger scheme of things this battle is not important so I guess it depends on how much you like action.

Well that is such a subjective thing.It will be cool visually for sure but stakes wise BoB still takes the cake for me.

Is this going to be another short battle? The battles this season have left a lot to be desired.

My guess is that it will be slightly longer than the one from episode 2, but not by much. The next episode is supposed to be the shortest ever.

Didn't WOTW report that the battle would take up around 1/3rd of the episode? That would mean around 17 to 20 minutes for the battle.

I honestly don't remember. The battle doesn't interest me as much. I'm just hoping Jon and Bran get some decent screentime .

Yeah I am not too emotionally invested in the battle, since the outcome doesn't really change anything. Cersei is still on the IT, Dany is still queen of Dragonstone lol, nothing changes. Still, the battle scenes themselves should be quite spectacular I guess, especially with dragons involved.

As far as we know, Jon has just 2 scenes, in the caves with Dany and the reunion with Theon. Bran also has a couple of scenes I think, one of them obviously the reunion with Arya. The Arya-Brienne sparring should be really good as well. But mostly, the episode will be about Dany I think.

Is Gendry in this episode?

I think Gendry is in episode 5 en 6.
