I loved it but I def wanted to see more night king...or at least see his interaction with bran. I guess I just hope all this warging has a bigger deal than what we’ve been shown thus far. I also wish there were more answers or a better understanding around the nk.
Live on HBO with my brand new Samsung 4K which is BS. I pay for HBO so I assumed it would be in the best quality, but yeah I should have just watched it on GO
The battle for the throne is gonna feel like a big womp womp to me now that they e essentially defeated death. Fuck Cersei
Why would anyone want someone with a part to play in the plot be killed before that part takes place? Baffling.
There’s still a part of me that is always want bran to be bad in some way lol maybe that was just the night prince and bran is low key the king!
The complete separation of storylines really bugs me. 8 years of build up for Night King and that’s it?
LOST killed my favorite character for no god damn reason at all so you can all eat sand with these "fan service/plot armor" takes.
I was expecting more main character deaths after the last episode. But I’m happy that brianne and Arya still alive. Also glad tat Theon is finally dead.
What's not to understand? It refers to characters surmounting unbelievable odds or taking unrealistic amounts of damage but still pulling through not because they're so much stronger than anyone else but because the story demands it. It's a pejorative because it's lazy storytelling
FUCK YEAH THAT WAS MY OTHER BULLETPOINT I MEANT TO TYPE! Why wasn’t the prince/princess who was promised revealed? Wasn’t the prophecy supposed to take place against the dead?!
I'll be interested in revisiting this episode whenever the blu-ray comes out, as it is the quality was really distracting outside of the hallway sequences which had that nice moonlight
It’s only a problem when you base like your entire identity as a show around “anyone can die” and trolling the audience for years into thinking no one is ever safe. It’s been super clear for YEARS that the show doesn’t work that way anymore, but everyone is still so tied up in it that they expect those stakes to still be in play. But just like it doesn’t follow the books, it also doesn’t follow its own views from the start. It’s a big action blockbuster, not a super niche character study drama. The rules are veeeeeeery different.
Like i’m completely reaching, but my first thought when Bran sent the ravens was that he was almost giving the NK a heads up.
And who does that apply to here? I mean really it doesn’t apply to literally any of the people who survived.
To be clear the episodes look great with on demand the next day/streaming, but live on the actual HBO channel they look like this....?
I really wish they wouldn’t have botched Arya’s storyline post-books so I could’ve enjoyed that payoff to its fullest. Also, it’s just lazy to have her jump in there without showing us how she got around the literal wall of dead soldiers surrounding the NK. Hopefully the books finish and do it justice. That said, what an intense and fun episode of television, even if the lighting is a viewing problem.
