The Hound and Jon Snow were bitches.

Tyrion and Sansa are gonna eff the **** out of each other.

Bran serves what purpose now... he’s as useless as Mesothelioma going forward.

Dani has no more army. Dothraki swallowed up.

Something tells me a blue eye or two bounce back from the dead. Hot Pie gonna come back pissed.

What an unreal episode......Do I dare say best HBO show ever, over the Sopranos?

My only beef with the episode was how dark some of the scenes were that looked a little awkward on TV and ,can't believe I'm saying this, the lack of main character deaths.

Otherwise it was pretty much a homerun for me
There were still 7 important/recoccuring character deaths when you add it up

That was an epic episode. All looked lost and I thought for sure it was going to end on a cliffhanger and make us wait another week.

I thought it was great. Both dragons survived right? I saw two flying around in the preview for next week.

The final 20 minutes with that piano playing was fantastic.

I am a little disappointed that the show didn’t end with the white walkers - like it started. The “prince who was promised” prophecy is over now? I guess it’s Arya, but has the prophecy been fulfilled? Seems like that is something that would come down to the last episode. Still, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. So many tense moments.

Good episode...yes.

Did I expect more? Also yes.

The huge fight, at night? Lazy. Battle of the Bastards and Hardhomme were better. Jmho.

Bran...let's warg into some ravens and watch. Useless. See ya' Theon, thanks for having my back.

The NK went down too easy. I'm all for Arya giving him the bidness, but c'mon .

Still a fan, will re-watch this episode and the rest, but on a scale of 1-10, I give it a 6...maybe a 7.

Then there is no pleasing you. Your expectations ruined the episode for you. Nobody can be blamed for that but you.

A 6? Yea you should rewatch.


The next battle won’t be as intense, but will lead to quite a climax. There is no way Cersei will sit back.

Agree. No way that was grrm idea. It basically scrapped the prince that was promised. That was THE central figure in the fight against the dead. Just gone.

Instead the Uber powerful night king dies to someone jumping out of the bushes.

It was great visual. But the damage done to the story is irreparable imo

I mean the greatest army in the world lost pretty much its entire depth chart in defeating the NK. They roasted him with dragon fire and he still didn’t die. Idk how you could even begin to say that the NK died too easily.

Out of curiosity, what events would reflect the correct amount of difficulty needed to truly defeat the NK in your eyes?

A dragon and an army couldn't kill him but changing hands did?

Thats all just butterfly effect from their changing of the story. The prince that was promised was a central aspect to the whole story. That was pretty obviously John snow. They just threw that all out the window.

His guard was down. Every character was pretty much on his/her death bed and the NK really didn’t have much to worry about at that point. Hell, he caught her mid-air. Arya is probably one of the greatest assassins in Westeros at this point so give her some credit.

Again, what events would showcase the correct amount of difficulty that you are looking for?

Mainly not tossing out a central theme of the books and the show. No azhor. No lightbringer.

Imo it was totally unpredictable what was going to happen...at one point I wondered how there would be 3 more episodes bc it seemed everyone would die..especially when he brought everyone back. I'm not sure what else you wanted them to do, unless you wanted the NK to kneel to bran or get in the crypt and raise all the dead stark skeletons. Either everyone was dying or someone was killing the nk in that episode. The best killer on the entire show whos been dropping hints about "death and not today" for seasons is unbelievable? Nah. Plus bran gave her the damn dagger.

Now theres a limited army to take on what's south.

It's not the difficulty or otherwise in his death, but the fact that it seemed mundane or an afterthought. I expected his death to be more profound and a bigger deal.

Someone suggested Arya wearing the face of Bran. then as the NK goes to kill Bran, she rips off the face and kills the NK. At least something along those lines.
