None of the relevant characters die

the battle itself was actually pretty cool though. the build up was legitimately tense and the scene of the dothraki getting btfo'd then the hordes of dead crashing down on the living was great. If it actually ended satisfyingly instead of some teleports behind u bullshit it would have at least partially redeemed this trainrwreck of a season

Oh really? Where was the payoff of that? Did we see her wearing another face? Or did she just run through the halls some more and then disappear, only to appear last minute, not wearing a wight face, and kill the NK?

She’s leap at him without any wight face

I think Sansa just had a dragonglass dagger

>Thinking that Tolkien Chads could actually be BTFO.
I keked.

She gave her a kunai

no

Then why introduce the NK and undead army at all?

Enough of this Westerosi bullshit. 5 forts/Bloodstone Emperor spin-off when?

WHERE THE FUCK DID SHE COME FROM. WHY DID NONE OF THE WIGHTS OR WHITE WALKERS STOP HER. HOW THE FUCKED DID SHE HAVE THE SPEED TO JUMP UP BEHIND HIM. WHERE'S WOLF. WHY DID THE WHOLE LIVING ARMY DIE EXCEPT THE MAIN CHACTERS? WHY DID THE GIANT NOT KILL LYNNA? WHAT WERE THE WIGHTS DOING IN THE GREAT HALL FOR TWENTY MINUTES WITH THE HOUND AND THE RED PREIST? WHY DID THE MAIN CHARACTERS GET PILED ON BUT NOT KILLED? WHY DID EVERYONE IN THE CRYPT LIVE FOR TEN MINUTES? WHY DID BRAN JUST WATCH THE BATTLE? WHY DID THEON CHARGE INTO THE NIGHT KING? WHY WAS THIS EPISODE MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

I was waiting to see who they killed because unlike pretty much every other major series like Marvel there are actually stakes in GoT. They killed the main character in S1, killed the favourites in S3, and pulled a bunch of other shock moments. Ever since they moved past the books every character got 3 inch steel plot armour. I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, they would purge the character list today. It’s the end of the series, most of them have finished their arcs or never even had an arc. But no, a dozen fake outs and like 3 second tier characters at most. At least avengers had the balls to kill off a few of the originals but this honestly makes me want to stop watching this fucking show.

Also, the defence plan was completely retarded and now the end game boss villain is *drum roll please* fucking Cersei. The supernatural, apocalyptic threat that was the first scene of the whole series gets killed by some fan fic character, our main villain is some dumb bitch, and they don’t have the balls to kill off useless cast members because it might upset some autistic fans. What’s the fucking point.

>dude it's like helms deep but if the entire battle was black and foggy because we blew the CGI budget already

Why even have the GOOD vs EVIL storyline in the first place then retard. Plus didn't GRRM make fun of this kind of writing in this episode with a big bad who is just evil...because evil and good guys win due to Deus Ex Machina and plot armor?

>all of the tension in the episode is completely fake because it never leads to anything
Even worse, it establishes that Arya has to be very careful around a few wights because they will easily notice her if shes not. This makes the ending all the more stupid and unreasonable - they literally set some up details & rules and then later just didn't follow them.

Weirdly I think back and all the other battles felt like they had higher stakes. But then I realise none of them had any character deaths.

Also, is it weird that the show was better when they couldn’t afford mega battles and actually had to use good writing and interesting storytelling?

>all of the "important" plot points could have been condensed to about 15 minutes
I was with you until this. This is a retarded criticism.

I was literally fine with it until *telports behind u*

This kills all the tension of re-watching it.

The fake outs in this have completely destroyed GoT’s reputation for actually having real stakes.

Why didn't the NK just

I did find it underwhelming. Battle of the Bastards was better.

Or better yet. Why didn’t he lay a siege. >His army doesn’t need to eat or sleep.
>He is in no rush.
>No army between Winterfell and King’s Landing, so a few whitewalkers could easily rack up a few hundred thousand extra bodies.
>Army in Winterfell will starve in a month, run out of firewood and freeze sooner.

If there was good writing there’d be a reason for the villain to launch a risky assault beyond wanting an epic battle.

His mana pool would have been empty

That is without a doubt, the most incredible thing I've ever witnessed in film or television. The entire episode. The music. The cinematography. The suspense. I am seriously speechless. This is on the same level as LoTR. The beginning with the flame swords and the charge...the slow dim of the flame in the distance, that set the tone for the rest of the episode.

episode is 30 minutes stretched out to 1hr 30 minutes. Watching the slow-mo guys on youtube is more exciting then this

>Or better yet. Why didn’t he lay a siege.
...because he'd win and the writers don't want that?

There's no real reason why he wouldn't siege any place he comes across in a place where winter lasts for years.

Archers were totally irrelevant in this.

you didn't really get the idea that they had the whole weight of the world on their shoulders; like they'd go to their death with the idea that "hey, at least they'll name a school after me after I'm dead (and we somehow win)"

instead it just looks like they're fighting another house for some land and titles.

I'd love for the series to return to political intrigue now, but that has been so completely dumbed down and replaced with filler dialogue about cocks and cunts I don't know how they're going to wrap it up now except with more action scenes.

tyrion and varys please be fucking useful again

Because the dead army could easily get BTFO by the two dragons, someone had to ride the dead dragon and it seems only him is capable of that.

t. clinically retarded person

>lol no cock
>lmao smol
You realize even of they are, the change won't be natural because they were derailed before.

user mentions the NK should've done strategic air raids.

It would be too dangerous to be always retreating, he had only one dragon while they had two. His strategy was the best, he had to get the dragons out of the way (and he did, he would've pwned everybody if it wasn't that meddling kid).

what the fuck was the point of the other 3 horsemen did they ever even do anything

Best episode so far 10/10 from me.

NK was letting her in just like he did with Theon, why can't people see this?

I bet you pee sitting down too

>danny riding a dragon saves john
>they space out for a solid 30 seconds
>get swarmed by white walkers

BRAVO
BRAVO

Lmao why can't you faggots just have fun

>GoT
>real stakes

This only applies to anything before they ran out of books to copy from.

To deny the battle was cool is being a contrarian mong. The initial zombie zerg rush and the dragon fire lighting up the storm and the horde was amazing. The episode failed because the amount of retarded shit outweighed those fantastically filmed 10 minutes of action between the dumb cavalry charge and the dumb library scene.

>implying the whites didnt have a profound effect on the political landscape in westeros

I genuinely can't believe they did it. It doesn't feel real, it's just a meme right?

I wouldnt necessarily mind her killing him but how the fuck did she teleport behind him? they were in an open garde, surrounded by all his generals and cannon fodder zombies...

why didnt they actually do this...

The episode makes sense.

I mean, really, it does. Season 1 started with Ned being "the main character". Everyone though he was gonna be the main character, gonna solve all the problems. And what happens to him? He dies. He's not the main character. He never was. That's not that kind of story.

Cut to season 8. Night King. The main villain. The big bad guy. The Great War. Well guess what? He's not a main villain. He dies. Cersei is the main villain and Euron with his big cock.

This show has REPEATEDLY trying to tell everyone it's not LOTR. This whole show, the whole theme is subverting your expectations.

"There's only one war that matters. The Great War, and it is here"

Said by a guy that was supposed to be the chosen one. Azor Ahai. But there was never Azor Ahai. He was never the chosen one, and there was never the great war. Just a big ass battle between Cersei that is just gonna sort of happen now.

The show begun with subversion and ended with subversion. That's what they always wanted to do. The only people that are fools are people who got baited.

There's a reason why David Benioff and DB Weiss were hired by Kathleen Kennedy. They operate on the same kind of thinking Rian Johnson does. Having your expectation subverted. Snoke never mattered just like Night Knight never mattered.

And now it begins. No, now it ends.

cringe

it's called "plot armor" bro. oldest trick in the book.

Bravo.
Someone who gets it.

The Night King was killed by third wave feminism

All bullshit aside, I'm just glad they got the Night King saga over with. Would have driven me crazy if we had to deal with this shit for two more episodes.

this is masterful bait

Special assassin powers, silent step.

I mean, I get that. And I agree, it does subvert expectations, but I still think its underwhelming.

Subverting expectations that the hero has plot armor is one thing, but delivering an underwhelming ending is another.

The show was better because it wasn't a glorfied fanfic and had the source material to draw from. Wait for the books if you want the real ending.

>Wait for the books
Thicc boi Martin won't live long enough to finish them. You're getting fan fic either way.

So I'm not a big fan of the whole "kill Dracula and everything will be okay" angle but I feel like they got away with it because they did such a good job of selling the entire situation as utterly hopeless and dreadful.

The episodes would have been better if they had killed off afew characters that I actually cared about which they have plenty of anyway. It feels like fan service, too Walking Dead.

I'm sold on the idea of Arya just being a fucking triple badass assassin and completely ninja fucking the nightking, but i thought it would have been more complicated than that.

I'm not all that bothered about Jon not having his "purpose" fulfilled. I'm not even sold he has one, not a nonsecular one anyway. Just because this cult of ass holes can get their wishes granted in moments of desperation by some blood magic demo doesn't mean their dogma is completely accurate.

The scene between Sansa and Tyrion hiding behind the sarcophagus was pointless. Like what did he even go to do? Shit?

Over all though I'm happy
I'm a happy fan. It was by no means a perfect scenario but fuck it

I'm going to learn to CGI just so I can edit this episode, instead of Arya shanking the NK, have Bran back stab him when he's choking Arya, would've been refreshing to see him actually do something instead of sitting around like an Oblivion NPC monologing about the rapes.

Right but who fucking cares what happens in Westeros now? No matter what happens humanity is saved, we can't keep acting like everything serves a greater purpose if the point was just to stop the undead

>I'm a happy fan
Congrats drone, your dopamine has been successfully hijacked. Now fuck off back to plebbit and leave us alone. The episode was shit, if you weren't watching it as a comedy and for cultural/social context you were fundamentally wrong from the start.

>>all of the tension in the episode is completely fake because it never leads to anything
>>some scenes were literally fucking pointless, particularly the library one

its a new style of writing modeled after the last jedi

That ending legitimately ruined the entire show. I know it was bad these last few seasons, but the battles were still cool and if they ended it well, it would make the series as a whole held to a higher regard than it deserved. But no, all the side quests and character arcs besides a few characters were rendered completely pointless.

If Bran died when he fell from the tower, the show could have ended exactly how I'd did with very little changing.

I had no expectations and I'm still disappointed

I was watching it for entertainment purposes. Just like why I'm posting here. Entertainment purposes.

Would you prefer it if I stopped liking things that you don't like? Relax.

Jaimie: I am the kingslayer.
Arya: Hold my beer

Lmao except you just KNOW jon and Dany marry and share the throne.

10000% guaranteed

I think this reality should subvert my expectations by having Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson and D&D choking on and dying to a BBC in their respective throats.

Killcount:

Wights: 1000+
Zombie Dragon: 0
White Walkers: 0
Night King: 1

Why was he an ultimate baddie again?

Seasons worth of tension about the White Walkers gone in a matter of a thirty second scene.
Arya magically escapes a chapel overrun with the dead, past leagues of white walkers around the tree, and manages to kill the big bad with a "toy magician" tier slight of hand.

and it took an hour and a half to get there, and theres still 3 episodes left wtf.

my boner is flacid.

But they've done it all better before at hardhome and the ice lake. And you could actually see what was happening.

this makes hardhome and battle of bastards soooo much better.

Shut the fuck up. That scene was cool. Seeing all those lights slowly disappear into pure blackness followed by one of the best zerg rushes ever was sick. Plus Ghost leading the herd for some reason. Wonder what happened to that fucker besides getting btfo.

Agreed, now that the white Walker rubbish is taken care of, we can get back to winterfell's tax policy

This literally the only place I post. Where would I go? I don't like posting spoilers on Facebook.

so now it's our problem that you're an unrepentent idiot?

ignoring armchair battle tactics, the first rush imagery with the flaming catapult overhead was fucking sick.
the literal wall of undead slamming into the line was actually frightening. you were not expecting a 15 ft wave of walkers crashing into the line like that.
the crypt scene sucked ass, the library scene was gay
seeing jon just sit on the wall with his dragon for 20 minutes was fucking retarded. he basically wasn't in the episode. main issue was the humans fought unrealistically bad versus what are pretty much still regular opponents armed or not. there were so many scenes where defenders just straight up didn't fight and got bulldozed by 1 or 2 walkers. not seeing a dragon dogfight was fucking lame too, if we are going to stare at dany and jon play twister with night king at least make use of the space

Your argument is what? I should be in a pissy mood about it like you are? That's dumb.

Cool but badly done. They should have had phalanxes to hold off the undead and the hammer and anvil with cavalry.

But the night king was holding most of his army in reserve, and traps the cav in between and their lights go out. Still cool but now it makes sense.

If Danny doesn’t die by the end of the series, I will be very disgusted.

After they killed little finger because they wanted that cool fist bump girl power scene between 2 sisters who know better than to trust white men, i should have known it would take a hard split from any interesting politics and straight into capeshit tier territory
...
Except Marvel actually had more balls this time around.

there are 3 more episodes so don't expect a lot, the first boss is euron who will get some small buildup and "unexpectedly" get killed by theon, the final boss will by cersei who will get killed by arya after an episode long anime buildup. then jon and dany will get married. final shot will be of a dragon flying over kings landing and no other plot will ever be addressed.

I've been saying this all night, but HES NOT DEAD. HE HAS AN HEIR. JESUS FUCK YOU PEOPLE ARE DUMB. He only needed to get close to Bran. He needs the weirwood net.

Imagine if at the end of the Battle of Helm's Deep, the eagles just swoop in and grab the ring and drop it in the pit. All that build up just to have the entire massive threat removed in one simple motion.

Stopped watching after season 6, anyone want to give me the quick green text of the episode. Did the rest of the white walkers/wights really die when Quasimodo stabbed him?

>good vs evil
No, it's just that GRRM/D&D are not creative and missed the opportunity for SURPRISE WHITE WALKERS ARE INTELLIGENT AND IS FORMING AN UNDEAD KINGDOM with NK approaching the mortals for a parley after showing they mean business.
That would be a REAL game of thrones, making deals with something so alien that you don't even know if it's for real or if it's just a long term ploy to make killing everyone easier later on.

So fucking disappointing this episode. This whole season has been garbage so far.

nerd butthurt over fiction is just another reason why normies are happier

Yeah I don't like how they made the dragons seem so useless. They didn't even need more scenes with Jon and Dani, if you could just see the dragons in the background raining fire in more battle scenes it would have been better and would have pushed the hopeless factor further.

The crypt scene was miserably pointless. I thought home boy was sneaking off to fight but then they don't show him do anything. And they don't put any focus on their aunt coming back from the dead? Odd. At least show her sarcophagus.

Good vs evil is far from the only point of lord of the rings though

Helms Deep wasn't just "epic". It made complete sense. There was good reason for every development throughout the siege.

Here, the Dothraki charge for some reason.

Hell why are any of the forces outside? Isn't the purpose of a castle for an army to use it for holding out against their attackers?

Take the Battle of Antioch (1098) when the Crusaders sally out. They only did so because it was either death from starvation or death by the sword. The fact it worked was due to their divinely-inspired zeal along with their superior discipline and the Arabs' inability to capitalize on the Crusaders exposing themselves.

As for "unexpected" plot developments, they have to make sense and still contribute to a good theme.

Eddard Stark's death comes across as unexpected until you think for a moment about how it was laid out. He was a fish out of water, the honorable relic dropped in THE nest of backstabbing-filled political intrigue.

Arya killing the Night King had no such reasonable groundwork. It was just shoved in to be "shocking" for retarded normies.

is there anything more ridiculous than Sam not being dead?

The white walkers should have just surrounded them and waited for them to starve.

Literally zero reason not to, and it provides a great reason for a suicidal charge.

No one can get hype after this shit show

well they sure aren't coming now.

Not to mention some BULLSHIT cinematography

Arya kills the mountain too lmao

This is pretty much like Rey dropping her lightsaber and the Praetorian Guard's weapon disappearing so she can pull off the move.

Except it's the Night King becoming stupid and not thinking the obvious: that she would catch the dagger with her free hand after dropping it. Literally the only thing Arya could do and despite catching her when she had the drop he didn't think of something THAT obvious.

Don't forget

It all felt artificial because no one used their fucking brain despite no less than a dozen military commanders on their side with tools and resources at their disposal.

Ok we have light cavalry with fire swords that dont instantly kill and no obsidian spears or javelins.
FULL FRONTAL CHARGE INTO AN ENEMY THERE THAT WONT WORK!

Cant have tension when i can't see a fucking think for 1hr and 20 minutes.

Waste of an episode, and because of these bad decisions and contrivances we didnt have a pay off to all this build up that would be satisfying. Its all down to the worst possible direction and writing one can make.

Considering the living had two dragons I don't think a siege is feasible. Logically Dany would send her dragons to torch wights, forcing NK to either retreat or go on offensive

Oh I think Dany will be pretty pissed at Johnny boy because he abandoned her to save his retarded brother in a wheel chair. Marriage is definitely canceled, no more puss puss for Jon I'll tell ya.

yeah need links everyone is stingy tonight

Bruh - Ever thought about what the NK was actually doing? What if he was trying to tell them to honor the pact by letting people live when they were ambushed and leaving the spiral literally everywhere they went? They left Crastor alone since he was the only man left actually keeping to the pact. Maybe the whole point of the pact was that the dead were running rampant and thats what the Children of the Forest unleashed - and so to control the dead they HAD to create the White Walkers but used Men since they were the only ones capable to receive that magic. The NK was just after Gilly's baby the whole time and was just super pissed at Bran for letting the North forget about him and the Pact despite that "the North Remembers."

He's spent his entire existence keeping the realms of men safe and the dead at bay, but now he can't even keep up with the number of dead entering his domain because the living are constantly killing eachother and he's not getting anymore WW because no one remembers why they made the pact in the first place. He needs more babies to become WW so that they can help him control the dead.

Him being just a boogie-man is the worst decision D&D made rather than continuing the theme that no one is truly pure good or evil.

Bonus: The kill the NK - dead go apeshit - Bran realizes wtf they did and someone needs to become the new Lich King: Arya becomes the Queen of the Dead, making her not just a servent of the God of Death, but it's master.

Your subversion of expectations fetish is really just a servant of feminism and nothing more

Better question< why arent they making a shield wall as tight as possible outside with everyone else inside reigning down a shit fuck ton of arrows and javelins supporting the phalanx?

Ideally they should have kept their cavalry hidden, waited for the dead to attack the walls, and then send the cavalry around the army to attack the relatively undefended walkers.
They knew that they had to target the walkers but did nothing to accomplish it.
And they wasted all their infantry on the field instead of properly manning the walls where they could just keep chopping skeleton heads forever.
Instead of being fucked the first time a skellington killed a wall defender they could have a reserve of units to move in and fill the gaps.

*sigh*
I actually agree with some autistic fan theory all of a sudden.

What did he mean by this?

The Dothraki needed to die so they wouldn't mutt up Westeros by raping all the white women.

Did Kit Harrington fuck the directors wife?

Jon is a side character now at best.

Those kinds of tactics don't really work well when the enemy outnumbers you by an order of magnitude and is completely fine with zerg rushing anything in range.
Cavalry charges are used to break up formations but these zombies have no formation and don't really care what side you're coming from.

On top of that whoever they kill join their ranks anyway.

quips and mary sues

Please read better. I said that the cavalry should attack the walkers not the army of the dead to break formations.
Killing the walkers would have significantly reduced the enemy force. Only the dead that the night king turned would remain since he was on a dragon.

When Jon tried to attack the walkers it revealed that the walkers were completely undefended. Just hanging out in a line way at the back very far from their army. A flanking attack by cavalry that can out maneuver the army could have killed the walkers before they could bring the army back to defend them. Even killing one walker would have been infinitely better than a blind cavalry charge straight into the undead army.

>On top of that whoever they kill join their ranks anyway.
This.
The only "winning chance" conditions for the battle were the following:
1: DON'T HAVE ANYONE DIE EARLY. Less pointless early deaths = more horde you have to hold back. Play it as safe as possible.
2: Slow enemy down, segment them. If this is a horde of near-mindless formationless zombies, create some attempt at stalling them in a killzone.
3: Concerted effort on tracking key figures of the enemy. They KNEW he was going to show up in the grove, but they only had Theon and no names within earshot of Bran.

Holy shit this was bad. I had low expectations but this was just too fucking shit. Just kill one guy the whole army disappears. Fuck off!! I’m not watching the ending of this show.

To be fair you need to have a pretty high IQ to appreciate GoT

>Just kill one guy the whole army disappears.
You chose the absolute worst part to criticize.

Inside Arya

No I don’t think so. Consider a real struggle for power. Entire armies don’t vanish when one person gets necked. Behind him are generals, lords are advisors who will take up his mantle and resume the fight. To think you can just kill a big bad and fix all your problems is the height of juvenile fantasy.

You are just too mentally prepared for this awful deus ex. It’s the worst transgression if the whole NK arc.

Can you explain why they werent just sent to the south? What was the point of keeping all the women and children in the castle in the first place.
GoT has turned into utter shit on every possible level.

I mean Bran has the mark because he's the last greenseer. The NK needs control of their weirwood net to truly bring on the long night. The whole attacking winterfell doesn't make sense if all he has to do is travel south. He could've just ignored the really pathetic army that dany had at winterfell and let them starve. He obviously went to winterfell looking for Bran, not to kill him because his minions could've done that just fine without him being there, but to use him. He wants the weirwood net.

See you next week

HES NOT DEAD, YOU MASSIVE RETARD.

I’m only gunna be coming back to this thread to call you an idiot for watching the episode. It’s just going to get worse.

why Jon such useless shit

He is.

Good point. Should have switched the battles

They're magic. There's nothing weird about someone's magic ceasing when they die. That's completely normal vanilla shit.
The problem isn't that killing the night king kills the entire army.
The problem is that they killed the night king in such a mundane way.
It was a super anti-climactic way to win.
They should have killed some of the other walkers first to weaken the army and demonstrate how it works and then kill the night king later.

He literally had no reason to even attack winterfell if marching south alone brings on the long night. He had no reason to make an appearance at all if he just wanted to kill Bran. He could've let his underlings do it. He's there for the weirwood net, and with the mark Bran is his heir. The whole thing was a distraction to make the humans think they had won, while his real army at hardholme is waiting until he has the psychic power that bran does. Then the real battle can begin.

NK and his power metal smurf bros not so tough after getting dismantled by single fugly womanlet

There were weirwood trees north of the wall. What do you mean by controlling the weirwood net?

but stronk ugly wyman defeats bad man! hurr durrrr!!

i don't know who the fuck they think they're selling the dvd box sets to, but it sure isn't us. oh wait, that's right. it's the fatass loser ugly dateless sexless females who have cats as 'children' and think this show is good. i forgot. i apologize.

>we blew the CGI budget on an album release inspired by the show

Don’t you get it you npc? This is a feminist show now. Yara is obviously going to kill Euron. And they are going to cuck the show somehow so that a white male doesn’t end up being the sole king

I have no clue where to go to find traditional (normal) entertainment anymore. This show was based a decade ago

How does this show really even have a budget anymore? Aren't they making tons of fucking money off it?

I forgot about the ice baby

With three episodes left of this show, he is effectively dead.

In essence, next to nothing happened, the Night King proved to be a meaningless comic book villain, and they constantly tried to scare you about characters dying when it was clear they would not.

Was the rip of it I was watching shit quality or was it almost impossible to see what was going on for half this episode?

Jon is definitely going to turn the throne down so a WOMYN can rule and everyone claps

It was almost impossible to see what was going on until there was more shit on fire later in the battle.

Trust me. Its not over yet.

What atmosphere? It looked absolutely awful.

I honestly thought something was wrong with my TV during this episode, the lighting was just crap

Battle of the Bastards was shit and you know it

She already looks like a goddamn wight with those eyes and face. Why would she need to steal anything?

Nope, he's dead.

But nice cope, retard.

The show is shit.

Yes, it was very darkish which bothered me a bit because I couldn't see shit. But it was fucking night. How else would you display night?
If they put up the brightness people here would also complain.

If you turn off your brain, this is a 10/10 episode.

Don't expect too much logic from two jews who have probably never read on history and only glanced at the books. Look at the other battles - Blackwater, Bastards, Stannis' final stand. They all don't make sense, no formations, nothing. Just idiots flailing at each other.

>The problem isn't that killing the night king kills the entire army.
It is a problem. The Night King is a White Walkers just like any other. I understand if the wights die because they are powered by his magic, but the rest of the White Walkers should, supposedly, have the same abilities.

dragons are useless against the Chad spear chuck, that has been estabilished

You wish motherfucker, he's dead.

Episode was really, and by really i mean REALLY stupid but i really liked it as well. The atmosphere pulled me in. Again most of the stuff is incredibly nonsensical but investment in characters and drama cues worked for me I guess because save for library it was pretty tense and dense and i really loved some of the shots and sequences, in particular the fly of the crows and some smoke kino.

I liked it too. I'm going to enjoy this season and you can't stop me, Yea Forums.

i turned off my brain and thought it was a 11/10 episode right untill arya killed the night king, when it suddenly became a 6/10 episode

Honestly the only thing that pissed me off was that naath bitch's attitude and le epic darkie brave army protecting the cowardly white's retreat.

Actually that's kinda good shit. I think NK isn't biggest threat in world of ice and fire. There is so much places, fucking dragons, magicians etc. NK is more like fuckin 15 lvl necromancer in D&D module, and assassin did him well.

You're a brainlet,if he had won the battle he would get access to millions of new corpses before taking his armies east, millions of tireless, unbreakable and ruthless soldiers and 3 dragons that are even harder to kill than living ones

I loved it up until the end, that was just horribly done. What if it was Theon who threw an obsidian dagger at him instead? Or brann had some booby trap in his wheel chair that killed them both so the three eyed raven and the night king both leave the world.

Who knows, man. We don't know wut kind of shit hiding on Ulthos and other places

We find out the three eyed raven is the actual evil and the night king was trying to stop him

battle at king's landing: jon snow beats cersei and gives the throne to daenerys

I'm talking about Arya, Catspaw, and the Night King's death.

First, (and I first made this post in the post-ep discussion if it looks like you're re-reading something) the religious factions all played a very specific role in killing the Night King.

The many faced god produced assassin Arya.

The Lord of Light revived Beric a million times over to save Arya. Mel told Arya point blank she's the one. Mel also confirmed that Beric was kept alive for this moment of saving Arya.

The Seven saved Sandor Clegane, who saved Arya. Same as above.

The drowned god via Theon, who "rose again harder and stronger," and protected Bran, bought Arya time.

The old gods via the 3ER (Bran) gave Arya Catspaw.

Second, Catspaw's history is deeply tied with the first two books and seasons. Its the reason why the war of the five kings started, and it led to Arya's arc and every single other characters arc, culminating to that moment. It bridges the politics of Westeros we loved early in the series/books with the WW. Bran has echoed this idea a few times, and this seems to be a theme of the season: everything these characters have done has made them who they are and led them to this moment. In that way, its as if everyone played a role in the events leading to killing the Night King. The preceding seasons were not for nothing - they hardened these characters and filtered out the weak. Catspaw punctuates that.

Obviously Littlefinger has been dead for a season, but his influence is here. He started the war, but he also gave Bran Catspaw in s7. Tyrion actually was the original owner of this dagger. Robby B won this dagger in a bet with LF. I'm sure there are many other things I'm missing that brought about this moment from other characters.

I guess the great irony is that if it weren't for the Catspaw assassin, humanity wouldn't have been distracted from the threat up north with these wars since 1998, yet its the reason why the NK is dead.

Because the writers wanted her to teleport from where she was with the hound and red women to there.

No, actually. You can't store all your troops inside one, for the most part.

Ned's death subverted expectations.
Was it lame? No
Robb's death subverted expectations.
Was it lame? No.
Oberyn's death subverted expectations.
Was it lame? No.
NK's was lame and predictable. For as long as Arya got that dagger people predict that she will kill the NK with it in a ninja move.

This is a song of Ice and Fire right? The ice is gone, and all that's left is the fire. And what puts out fire? Water. Who is the closest representation of this element? Euron; even calls himself "The Storm."

This is actually quite an interesting tweet, because it highlights the inability of women to notice how civilization is carried on the backs of men working terrible jobs. These men, similar to the 100,000 soldiers who died in the battle, are invisible to women. They only care about the Kings, the Lords and the Ceos.

who said she wasn't noticed? you even saw a shot of one of the white walkers looking at what just ran past him
not to mention how the wights wouldn't have done anything anyway if they saw her seeing as the NK pretty much set everyone to passive mode, as proven by how they didn't do anything when theon charged at the NK either

arya sneaking up on him and killing him wasn't the bad part, the bad part was how they already killed him in this episode. i really don't give a shit about the remaining 3 episodes being about cersei's army vs another army
