Yeah, does not fit the prophecy at all.

Prophecies are mostly horse shit and usually more confusing than explanatory

    This show is dumb now. Used to be when characters did dumb shit they died for it. Now the heroes constantly do dumb shit and get their army fucked up, then by next episode they have an army again an

Time to adjust the brightness and watch that shit again.


Haha, yeah. It was so dark. So who's got their death pool correct? Way too many survivors.

well, we know what the most popular baby girl's name is going to be for the years 2019, 2020, 2021....

 

and I agree, I have a hard time believing the books end it like that.

and Bran is just useless

So 3 episodes of figuring out who wins the throne, this is Hot Pies time

One question I have is why was Bran warged or green-seeing all the way up until the Night King was in his lap? Nothing to see out there and everything of importance was in the walls of Winterfell by that point. Maybe the danger isn't over, yet.

I think there was some mention of the Night King being able to tell where he was due to Bran bearing his mark. So by warging, he drew him away from the dragon fight and into the weirwood

So who’s dead besides Beria and all the Mormonts?

Edd, Theon

So Arya takes out a couple dozen zombies on the wall and then...sneaks around the library afraid to fight them? That didn’t make any sense.

Is Jon’s dragon dead?

I hated how dark it was. Add in a blizzard and half the time I couldn’t tell what was going on. And too many main characters were on the front line and survived. Not very GOTsy.

Grumble grumble. I was hoping for better.

Taking a quick break to catch my breath and watch it again.

Woof... I need a day or two before watching it again.

 

That. Was. Intense.

 

 

 

 

There were 2 dragons in a shot in the preview for next week and a close up of a greenish dragon, so pretty sure Jon's is still alive.  Darkness was to make it more ominous and to save money on special effects.  They couldn't have done a fight like that in daylight.

the human drama has always exceeded the White Walkers stuff. at least in the show. I'm not surprised they dedicated a big episode to wrapping that up and leaving more than enough time left for the Thrones stuff. was never going to be resolved simultaneously.

Edd, Theon and all the Dothraki. They would not have liked it in Westeros anyway.

Inside the episode afterward explained it well.  The knock on the head put her into survival mode, rather than assassin mode.

yeah, the Unsullied had a far better performance..

1.0 on the Goo Punch scale.

Delores Edd, Theon is dead but can never die, unsullied #3,489 and 90, Dothraki hoard, red woman

That was incredible.  Really hope Amazon/Netflix release episodes periodically like this so this isn't the last time in human history that everyone watches a big show at the same time like this.

 

This worked out kind of well for GRRM cuz people are going to have so many questions about the stuff the show doesn't address or ignores that people are going to want to read them... if he ever writes them.  Also I highly doubt Arya kills the NK in the book version.

Darkness also gave it a feel as the viewer was as blind as many of those fighting.

I think she lost her spear and that dagger is only good for one at a time. Also, she seriously underestimated them all along and finally dawned on her how real of a threat they were. She only got her courage back when Mel reminded her of what she has done and gave her the hint that she would kill the NK.

They showed two dragons in the next episode preview.

It was pretty stupid to send them in a direct charge at the walkers.

Little Lady Mormont answered the call.

That bitch Glover didn’t.

Dark lighting and fog make it cheaper for practical effects and CGI, especially on a massive scale like a battle like this. It lets you reuse extras, render less detail, take less time painting and texturing. That's my bet as to why it was like that.

Dothraki were never known for their smarts or tactics. The view of the charge with all the flaming swords was pretty cool, but then they just vanished.

Not sure they were sent. I think they got all exciting about their new flaming swords an took off on their own.

yeah, but the cinematography though...

it was great to  see all those lights snuff out quietly.

It's definitely looked cool as shit, but the walkers were never going to break and run so a cavalry charge was a waste.

so I'm watching the Inside the Episode clip, and it's quite clear that some of what the showrunners are thinking isn't exactly obvious from watching the show. would dampen some of the questions if it came through like they intended.

They don’t play defense, also like aggy.

so, uh what about Ghost?

 

He was in the frontal charge with Jorah.... and we never saw him again.   

It never dawned on me that a solid spear phalanx would be ineffective against the dead. Very effective against live troops, though.

There are screen grabs of him in the preview for next week.

Well there are stories in the show about 10k unsullied defending against 60k Dothraki and winning.

Should have gone for the hot gates defense. They knew they were vastly outnumbered, so they should have used the fire ditches and obstacles to funnel the dead into small spaces where their numbers would count for nothing. 

Also, the unsullied March pretty but have the the apparent value of your average storm trooper in a fight. 

Woof... I need a day or two before watching it again.

Just finished. This is where I’m at.

Dammit, now I have to wait another 10 years to find out what the Others story line actually means?

I honestly thought you were joking when you posted this.

But that socially inept loser actually complained heavily.    What in the holy fuck?     

 

I agree that too many important characters survived, but its not like every multi-season character was safe.

Beric, Red Woman, Jorah, Lady Mormont, Ed Tollett, Theon, Gilly, and several others I cant seem to remember right now, died.

I was guessing it was a metaphor for climate change or some other existential crisis that kills us all because we’re too petty and corrupted to confront despite all the warning signs.

When did Gilly die?

I could be wrong, but I swore she was  dragged away by the dead  as they broke out of the Crypts?

I know there are plenty of things people will nitpick about, but that was one of the most emotionally intense episodes of a show I've seen.  If you didn't enjoy that, I just feel bad for you.  Goddamn.

They showed a brief flash of him coming back after the charge, along with the riderless horses. I like to think he went off to find Nymeria and her pack, for the next war, where they would be far more useful.

I can't remember for sure, did Arya use the knife drop to the other hand and stab before? It seemed familiar
