I've heard the whole 1.5 hours next week is nothing but the battle. You'll forget all about these last two episodes after all the deaths next week.

How are they overlooking all the dead bodies in the crypt, knowing full well the power the Night King has to raise the dead? Is it just because there is no other place?

Ah...the return of Ned Stark?
 
Spoiler alert: Everybody’s dead and it was all just a fever dream, and the sky really is blue because we all live in the eye of a blue-eyed giant named “Macomber.”

The thing is, Sansa has really grown up. She looks like a full grown woman. Arya is tiny. She still looks child-like.

Has Sansa had a sex scene? Plus when we were first introduced to Arya she was a little kid. Made the whole thing weird.

I know that's going to play a part, but how in the world ... I mean, most of those bodies have to be completely decomposed by now, and they are entombed in stone. It shouldn't be the issue that I think it is going to turn out to be.

Then life's weird. Time moves on. People grow. Things change. In a world of the walking dead and dragons, seemed to me pretty realistic portrayal of what might happen in a situation like that. I mean, this is what people do. And heck, in medieval times, a girl's first sexual experiences probably usually came much earlier than Arya's.

If we keep looking at things through the lens of what it was when we first saw it, life's pretty boring and unrealistic. And kind of unfair to the people we expect never to grow and change.

Sansa had that pretty horrific rape scene in Season 5(?) while Theon was forced to watch.

This episode was a chance to say goodbye to everyone, because there’s going to be a lot of character deaths next episode.

I agree. I thought last night's episode was pretty good. A good set up for craziness that's gonna happen next week.

That's a good point. I didnt think about that.

But the first episode wasn’t an epic one either. Two slow episodes in a row.

Last episode was the set-up for the season. This episode was the calm before the storm of the massive battle episode next week. I mean, a lot of GoT (and, even more so, the books) is political maneuvering and character development. I used to say that LotR was an example of "walky" fantasy (having an epic journey and quest) whereas A Song of Ice and Fire was an example of a "talky" fantasy (palace intrigue, plans, verbal confrontations). Last episode was Sam dropping the Targaryen revelation on Jon, this episode was Jon dropping the same revelation on Dany. Other things happened, just not physically oriented things mostly.

Just a rape scene with theon and ramsay
 
My question, will the iron swords keep the northern Kings/wardens down?!

This was an extremely boring episode that was basically just filler.

Better than the first ep - that was a total throw-away piece of garbage episode. Brienne at least gave ep 2 some feels. So far I'm shocked at how disappointing the final season is. I had already lost most of my interest in the show, but I thought once it started airing again I'd be right back in it. But...yawn. Hope they all die and the Night King takes the Iron Throne.

I've enjoyed it, but I'm on board with your last line. Go team Night King! The way the people conduct life in that world, maybe all memory of it should be erased...ha

I though the two episode's were filmed in to much darkness.
I here that the Knight King is JS's real pop.

I'm thinking just the opposite: Eps 1 and 2 are way too compressed, as is season 8, as was season 7.

Consider this:
In the next 4 episodes, our heroes need to
1) fight the night king's army
2) defeat the night king's army
3) kill the night king
4) fight the Lannister army
5) defeat the Lannister army
6) take over the throne
7) have some sort of resolution to the series.

That's WAY too much for 4 episodes - should be more like 10 episodes.

Unless the Night King wins and eternal winter comes then they can just end the show with a black screen :) I'm guessing the Night King wins the Battle of Winterfell and then the ones left will have to regroup and defeat the Night King, so yeah, a lot left to cover.
 
Episode 2 was great imo. A goodbye of sort to many characters. Briennes story for example, is complete. The whole vibe was a nice set up for the impending bloodbath.

I miss two characters though; Ramsay and Littlefinger. They brought so much to the show.
