I loved how it was just quiet and chilling when you know what we are looking at is hellish and violent for the people over there.
I have to be Vic Vinegar so you know when I’m Hugh Honey that they actually got me good. The campfire slumber party genuinely was one of my favorite moments in the whole show. Mostly because 90% of the people I love were in that room.
I'm witholding final judgment until I see how the last few episodes play out. But David Benioff actually wrote one of my favorite books, City of Thieves. Just such a great story and well written book.
Hey if myself and 12 other friends can jump up screaming "holy shit" and "oh my god" at the ending of a television show ... that's all I can ask for. They did it right, I had a reaction, and I was completely entertained.
In an indirect way, Ramsay is responsible for Lyanna’s death. Even in death he continues to be the absolute woooooorst.
Also, there were a lot less deaths of major characters than I thought there were going to be heading in, but they did kill off my personal favorite character on the show, and I thought the ones they did have were all very well done.
This episode really cemented Arya as my favorite character. Not just the obvious reason though, that scene where she’s just tearing through Wights in the castle with her staff was the best!
Also I feel like the entire thing with Lyanna is meant to foreshadow the ending. Except Arya made it out in better shape.
Yeah, I did a proper GET IN THERE at Arya taking out NK. Probably would have done more, but I was watching through tears, so wasn't totally with it haha
I think Tyrion will always be my favorite character on the show but Arya has been a close second for pretty much the entire run of the series.
My Ayra reaction was literally me shifting up in my chair and saying "AHHH--UGH!"...First it was excitement and then the ugh was me grunting because I thought the NK had stabbed her when he caught her.
That video where Gwendoline seemed to accidentally confirm Brienne lives is seeming more and more believable now.
Honestly I don't want Brienne to die, because she's awesome, so I would be fine with this. I just expected her to die last night.
When she jumped in I honestly thought she was going to die there. Like when I initially saw her I went from "OH SHIITTTTT" to instantly "OH FUCK WHY DID YOU ATTEMPT THAT" to "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD". I thought Bran was going to pull some 3ER magic and that he had a plan, but nope, the plan was literally lure him to me and hope someone attacks.
I literally shouted “Last of Us!” during that scene. Heavy video game vibes in the best way. Thought it was one of the best scenes of the episode.
Do we think Melisandre’s brief journey back to Essos will effect the remaining three episodes? Like are there now more red priests and priestesses hidden in the Golden Company or something?
I don't think that was Wun Wun who attacked her. Just another giant from across the wall. I would imagine he received a burial or pyre after the battle of the bastards. Though still, fuck Ramsay Bolton.
I really can't figure out what is going to make up the final three episodes. I'm also very surprised that the WW / NK were finished off here when they have literally been the threat from the first scene of the first episode ever.
