Just horrible tactics all aroundDoogCourics said:Gladstone said:Spectacle: incredible. Dothraki charge of the light brigade lol.
Super disappointed with the resolution. What the fuck is Bran’s story? What are the NKs motivations? Azor Ahai? Anything?
Arya is an anime character at this point.
I feel like the first 7 seasons meant nothing and lent nothing to this resolution.
Dothraki swords going out: chilling.
Unsullied closing the ranks so everyone could retreat and Grey Worm giving the order to cut them off: gut wrenching.
Everything after? A fucking superhero movie.
Every scene around a main character fighting against overwhelming odds inside Winterfell cut away as a horde of wights ran at them, then when we see them later they’re standing on a pile of bodies.
Jon and Dany were the most worthless warriors in the battle.
The prince that was promised who sings a song of ice and fire? I know Missandei said previously that the translation was wrong and it doesn’t mean a boy or a girl, but come on.
Honestly that was just disappointing as fuck.
Like the fucking Huskies in a NY6 bowl.
Bum rush all the living, get them on the ground with mass and momentum, and eat their faces off while they're trying to stand up
Dragons disappear until the story calls for them to show up
Neither side deserved to wiin
That said, I hope Brienne andTormundJamie have some awesome loud sweaty victory coitus -
I liked the series because its a fucking fantasy book series. There's backstory and hidden revelations and whatnot. Absolutely none of the things I wanted to keep reading for have anything to do with this. LOL what teh fuckGladstone said:who is Azor Ahai? dunno
what's so mysterious about the WF crypts and why do characters often dream of them? dunno
why must there always be a stark in winterfell? dunno
why was Bran doing nothing other than being a literal raven, i guess? what's the point of this massive, 8 season long story arc? dunno
why was the VERY FIRST SCENE in the show about white walkers when they weren't the final enemy? dunno
is there any reason that the NK does what he does other than that he wants to kill Bran? dunno

Tyrion or Jamie will strangle Cersei (it's prophecy)Edwin_Bambino said:I really wanted the Night King to kneel to Bran at the end. Overall I liked the episode even though as others have pointed out the ending was just prototypical super hero bs.
Should be chintersting to see how Dany, Jon, two dragons, and about 100 survivors try to defeat Cersei, the Golden Company, and the Iron Fleet, who look pretty tan ready and rested. Hopefully there are one or two more major twists to come.
CleganeBowl is still in play.
Arya is a fucking super hero so she's got superhero skillz. Able to be in library full of wights undetected. Years of assassin training so of course she can go undetected until the last second.

Yeah, of the things that bugged me about the episode Arya wasn't one of them. Most of her arc falls right in line with what happened.BennyBeaver said:

The biggest let down is that you've built up the White Walkers for a decade, they finally make it south of the Wall, and you merc them in a manner that's really only painful for a faceless segment of "army men" from your various allies. The Boltons required more sacrifice to end it feels like. -
I had no problem with Arya running around murdering fools, but when fat Sam is basically attempting to body surf zombies for ten minutes straight eventually he has to die, right?BennyBeaver said:

Also in regards to the prophecy the red women told Arya she would kill people with Brown (Walder Frey), Blue (Night King), and Green eyes (Cersei?), so look for her to sneak in with Jamie or Tyrion’s face after Bronn crossbows them and merc Cersei. -
Lol at Beric being raised from the dead 20 tims for one final grand gesture as a human doorstop.Edwin_Bambino said:

I read the first 3 (or was it 4) while in college and was so excited for 5.
