I think part of my disappointment is they left so much on the table. So many things that could have, and probably should have, been explored. I agree that even though I've still been entertained, at some point the writing got lazy. They pulled back on the incredible intricacy of the earlier seasons and made it seem more rushed.

well, the previous 7 seasons were a build up to this season....not sure how much more intracy is needed, unless you wanted to explore the reason why the wights were created, and ultimately what their motivations are?

and we already know at least part of that story.

i thought tonight they did a good job of drawing on the blackwater bay episode, and the eventual twist that was the expected hero wasn't the hero, though apparently many already knew about aya?

either way....i liked this episode A LOT. you lost some main characters, though i thought for sure a couple more would get the axe. Brienne i'm talking to you.

and i didn't necessarily expect teh wight walker war to be over in one battle.

but good grief, i was thoroughly entertained.........great episode.

Is the Night King gonna come back?

don't think there's any way he can, his creators are all gone now...........the wights should now be a thing of the past. for good.

Cersei has dragon stoppers and the walkers were strolling through Winterfell like they ran the joint. If the good guys had men left that wouldn’t be possible right?

Dragon stoppers ain’t worked yet. The wights don’t need much to slip into areas, so their activity level isn’t an indication. Dany’s huge advantage was the Dothraki calvary and the Unsullied...they both got jacked.

Anyway, great episode... I just wish the battle could have been scheduled in the daytime like The Battle of the Bastards.

 

[Weezer]

Same as the battle of black water bay

Isn't there some kind of backstory involving his brother burning him?

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

That's what I'm wondering. They set him up for years only to be stabbed in the knee....and poof.

Where do you think his knee is?

yup. and the 20k cersi got from the bank and Euron's fleet are looking pretty tough to beat now.

Yes.
Like BB said. It was over a toy when they were children

Spoiler

I'm disappointed they didn't give Theon the kill saying "What is dead may never die" /

That’s a Greyjoy term

Spoiler

He didn’t die as a Greyjoy. He died as a Stark

 

[Orangeslice13]

Where do you think his knee is?

In his gut apparently

good point.

One giant? Thought the NK had several...and mammoths? Not a good season for elephants.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

I dont know, It was dark. Maybe they fight at lunch next week.

One got burned by Drogon in the open field.

I gotta rewatch. Knew I would anyway.

 

[Weezer]

Well, now that the battle with the NK is done, will Jaime return to Cersei?

So dark I couldn't see clearly. You must have good eyes.

 

[volinbham]

LOL - maybe he meant kidknee?

 

[Grand Vol]

Possible news on the Ghost front. Either they brought a sheep to a funeral or he pulled through.

Try watching it on an iPad. I know the Night King did their thing at night or dusk, but geeze, throw in some moonlight.

Great episode - the last 20 minutes took forever.

I agree with GV - sun up will reveal who died; I'm sure we lost more characters.

Beric D. was dead before NK did his raising - presumed we'd have to see the Hound and Mel dealing with him but I guess they just ignored that bit.

Sure thought Bran had some bad ass defense but I guess he did in his sister (giving her the knife). I believe she took out Littlefinger with that sucker too so not only did it come full circle from the assassination attempt but also from the guy who set it up and ultimately was the source of almost all the warring since the show began.
