Shit was trash!!!!!!
All this hype for nothing Arya went from closed room to Night King in couple of minutes. Just like that she jumped and killed him. Ughhh
 
I thought it was a great episode.
Arya is a bad ass.
What happened to Ghost?
What is Bran's purpose? What did the ravens do to help during the battle? Nothing! Bran is starting to annoy me.
Theon, Lyanna, Eddison, Beric, and Ser Jorah all died. Did Sam die also? It looked like it to me, looked like he got gobbled up by the dead.
Is dragon Rhaegal OK? I dont think they showed it again after it fell to the ground with Jon.
Doesnt look like there are any troops left for Jon and Dany to use to fight Cersie.
 
Last weeks episode was better than this one. Where did Arya come from? I get it. She’s sneaky, but come on. The battle scenes weren’t well done, sorry. I couldn’t see shit and I had every light in my place turned off.
 
I enjoyed the episode a lot, but I did have to suspend some belief because of a lack of internal self-consistency. However,
that happens a lot in the fantasy genre.
 
I think this episode showed the difference between "great television" and "compelling television."

To me, there were too many holes for this to be a great episode. For one thing, it was too dark to see what was happening. I get that it was a realistic medieval night battle (aside from dragons and zombies and witches and giants), but it's a problem when you can't see who the characters are when there is almost no dialogue. As happy as I am that most of my favorite characters (RIP Jorah and Beric and, oh yeah, Lyanna Mormont) and none of the major characters died, that wasn't going to happen ... that SHOULDN'T have happened. How the heck is it possible that Jaime, Breanne, Sam and Podrick survive? They were trapped against a wall for a half-hour. It made me happy. But great television isn't about making you happy.

I liked the music, but I didn't think it fit the last 15 minutes. Just felt off. Not a memorable melody, either. And Dany fighting with a sword? I mean, I loved watching her battle back to back with Jorah, but do we have any indication she can fight as well hand-to-hand as she did, especially after falling several stories off a dragon?

There were some phenomenal scenes, even some epic (the Dothraki slowly being snuffed out as their lights and calls disappear; Arya and the Night King at the end; Lyanna and the giant). I think acting is at its purest without words, and there were scenes with Dany and Jon and with Sansa and Tyrion that just rang so true. Those were spots, though.

The deaths of Jorah, the Little Bear, Beric, and Theon were so poetic. Probably couldn't have been more perfect.

So it had great moments and holes in it. It wasn't great. But it was watchable, exciting, intense, as much for the anticipation of what COULD happen as for actually did. The twist at the end, beautiful. Entertainment isn't always about being great.
 
I enjoyed it. I couldn't see what was happening very well and surprised there weren't that many deaths of the main characters, also surprised the Night King was snuffed out this episode. With all that said, I'm not a TV critic and just enjoy experiencing the show.

In the next episode sneak peak (18s mark) it appears you can see ghost standing there, so it seems he lived and is still around.

I'm pretty sure Sam lived, only due to plot armor, he was pretty worthless.
 
I was wondering about Rhaegal, too. I thought when we didn't see him again that he'd probably died. But, he wasn't reanimated with the rest of the those defending Winterfell, so ....

I think he is shown in the sneak peak for next week as well, damaged wings.

Dothraki are best fighters and killers. They were dead in 30 sec and Sam Tarvel kills 100 of white walkers. You gotta be kidding me

I don't think Sam killed anything, did he? Just ran and got his butt saved a ton.
 
Egregious misuse of dragons on both sides.

Living dragons shoulda burnt the army of the dead before the Dothraki were ever let loose. But no, they waited for the initial slaughter, then waited some more so that the army of the living and the army of the dead were intermingled in hand-to-hand combat before raining fire from above - assuring that there were plenty of "friendly fire" deaths. Did this again once the trenches were finally lit - army of the dead just standing there with nowhere to go and no dragon fire whatsoever. UNTIL the AOTD breach the walls, at which point the dragons rain fire down into the midst of Winterfell. Fucking idiots.

And then there's good ol' Night King flying his dragon over Winterfell, seeing his AOTD rampaging within the walls. All he has to do is point his dragon's head down and unleash a stream of blue fire and this game is over. But nah. Let's fly up into the clouds for some dragon-on-dragon violence.

This series turned into a steaming pile of garbage.

Why the heck is Sam not in the crypt?

Did you guys miss that whole scene in the last episode? Sam was told he should be in the crypt and he said he was one of the few people who had actually killed a white walker and deserved to be there.
 
It seems like a lot of fans are bitching about Arya killing the NK, but honestly I'm more annoyed at Jon's horrible battle plan.

George Patton would be sitting up on the hill - "helluva waste of fine infantry..."

Arya killing NK was the only part of the episode that was good! And by "good" I mean "not utter shit".

I remember that. But he's still pretty worthless during battles and is more of a distraction than he helps. Others are saving his ass all the time.

Yeah, I didn't mind that she was the one to do it but what the fuck was Bran's purpose then? The only other part of the Arya/Night King scene that was kind of lame was that Lyanna sort of killed the giant in the same fashion where they were being held and used their other arm to stab.
