Fuck this show. That was the worst thing I've seen since LOST.

I don’t know if this was serious or not but I laughed.

We will find out that there must always be a NK. Danny takes the iron throne, Jon becomes the new NK.

Nostalgia post from 2018? Keep hope alive, I guess.

I'm just really pissed off, NK should have died to either Jon or Dany, the whole chilling out in the Godswood with Bran was the most Rian Johnson thing they could have done. everyone should have been killed when the NK cast mass rez, nobody should have survived this, which is why he needed to be killed before that could happen or very soon afterward. unbelievable. and no, there should not be enough for any kind of forces to go to KL. its over. everyone acted like dumfucks. at one point after the storm got summoned, Jon and his dragon was perched on the castle wall, this is where he should have stayed til NK showed up so he could protect the castle with dragon fire while he could.

I get the frustration with the strategic plan; but in one respect, the Dothraki don't exactly have a prime use in a battle like this; they are fast attack close combat cavalry that use fear and mobility against human armies; when do you use them against fearless zombie hordes? The whole plan (and the episode really) though seemed muddled and not very clear; not much use of the siege weapons, no burning pitch from the walls, nothing seeming to take down the super large number of enemies they knew they were going to be facing.

I thought Jon and Dany were going to do more Dance of Dragons with the Night King or attempts to kill the White Walkers (which is what the Dothraki should have been doing after the hordes moved in) but they were mostly useless once the storm started. When using the dragons, I can see how dragons could kill 60,000 men in a single day ala Harrenhal but then they just stopped. The living seemed to have no plan once they lit the trench other than arrows? It Plus it seems like Miguel Sapochnik's episodes all start out of big battles and degenerate into horror movies ala end of BoB or almost all of this one. I loved Hardhome and most of BoB but this was too much. I mean, its not enjoyable to watch them (as much as you can watch the super dark episode where its really hard to tell the living from the fast moving weapon wielding wights) lose badly for (what felt like) 70 of the 82-something minutes.

Arya with the Cat's Paw in the God's Wood does seem out of left field other than than the long-ago eyes going to shut prophecy but I am sure there are more clues if people go back and look. I wonder if this is the third big twist GRRM talked about.

Rhaegal survived. He's shown in the preview clear as day unlike Ghost.

Two dragons are flying around in the preview, at least one with visible holes in one wing, along with Ghost standing in the formation for the funeral pyre, as indicated above.

Why would there always need to be a night king? It’s not like there’s has always been a night king before.

The fuck? Why do we need logic in this show? Now that NK has been created, there must always be one. Ez.
