What's new

Game of Thrones [SPOILER ALERT]

There was no other way to beat the army of dead. NK would have kept on raising the dead and all the people would have been killed in Winterfell.
 
This was one of the best things I’ve ever seen... I’m speechless. Perfect episode

George R R Martin's book ending and this series will be similar. Lol why people are so upset?

White Walkers was never the most important thing. It was always about the iron throne

I highly doubt that, Lannisters are basically finished in the books. Jamie's left cercie, she has the faith warriors to deal with and unlike the books blowing up a building won't really help her. Brotherhood and Uncat are picking freys off like cherry. There is a conspiracy in the north and Boltons are about to get into a fight of their life and Faegon has the golden army and is already in entered the 7 kingdoms. All this without including Daenerys and her dragons and the dothraki and unsullied.

You don't raise a 10,000+ year old being and then have him be second best to who gets what's left of a rag tag kingdom.

I don’t think [Game of Thrones show-runners] Dan and Dave’s ending is gonna be that different from my ending because of the conversations we did have.

Martin added: “But it’s not completely faithful. And it can’t be.

Otherwise, it would have to run another five seasons.”

The author also confirmed that the group who may very well have hugely different endings to those that are portrayed in the TV series are the secondary characters.

He said: “But on certain secondary characters there may be big differences.”

Main ending will be similar

One of the very best episodes.....
Speechless...
Absolutely amazing..
 
The CoTF along with Bran are the big baddies and have used humans to kill their biggest enemy the white walkers.

I hope they go on this path.
 
It was a very decent episode. There are 3 episodes left so let’s not jump to conclusions. The night king had to lose one way or the other, lol.

The only aspect I will criticise is the lighting, at times you had no idea what www going on. But maybe the whole point was during the fog of war you don’t know what’s happening as everything seems blurred. Still could have been a bit brighter.
 
I have no problem with the Night King dying here because the endgame was always going to be King's Landing. My problem isn't even that it was Arya who killed him....but the how was completely senseless.

She was locked in a room but walked towards the camera and materialised outside. She then proceeds to sneak/fight/run her way through thousands upon thousands of dead (a moment earlier she couldn't sneak past 5 of them) and then even manages to get past the Whitewalkers...then jumps higher than any human has ever jumped.

The books highlight Arya's training as an assassin and the shw gives glimpses of it as well and yet she used none of that in the climax. It was a poor TV decision (feminism and all that) BUT I hope andi n fact know, the books will deal with it better.

To me that's more about who ends up on iron throne rather than what's more important and that is if you believe the old man. Because I wont until winds of winter. If he knew how it was going to end we should have had the book by now.

Ignorant comment. Bringing in feminism for no reason. Don’t be one of those people. Suspend your disbelief and realize that she was the best possible character to kill he night king.

This is reasonable.

Benioff & Weiss seemed to be most concerned with creating an OMG moment (which it was to be fair) - the journey to get there ended up with some holes in it.

The stuff that is coming out about the Red Woman’s “Eyes” prophecy 5 seasons ago, and how Arya is gradually fulfilling this, is pretty neat though.

I also thought that the Red Woman’s character arc was completed superbly in this episode.
 
Most disappointing episode of the series, can't help but feeling sad about the nerds all over the world investing enormous amount of time, energy and emotion only to see their favorite show turning out to be another young adult soap opera in the end.
 
Though the lighting was indeed bothersome I liked the episode. The battle of winterfell was always going to be a tough one.

Loved the way it ended. I am also glad the main drama for the rest of the show would be living vs living. Would have hated to see the dead zombies marching onwards.

Nerds all around the world will be nerds and micro-analyze everything. That's what gives them joy so no need to feel sad for them.

and how does that matter to us nerds who actually enjoyed it?
 
More than Arya this was Melisandre's episode

Everyone in team Stannis had the right intentions

I also like how Melisandre dies at the end, I read it much like this was her punishment for Shireen
 
This is probably the only ending we'll get from the ASOIAF universe so I'll take it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's faults.

Cinematography was 9/10, lighting was an issue in some scenes,but there were a lot more scenes that were beautifully shot.

Sam and Jaime have some serious plot armor. Jon too, I guess.

But the Azor Ahai/PtWP prophecies ultimately meant nothing in the show. The retcon of Mel's earlier conversation with Arya was nice though.

I liked the way Theon went out. Fully redeemed and a honorary Stark. Same with Jorah. Protected his Khaleesi until the very end.

RIP House Mormont.

Let's see what they do in the last 3 episode. There must only be a few thousand survivors (+ the dragons). I'm looking forward to seeing the final battle.
 
So I guess we will never find out who was the NK and what did he really want? The secret of the spiral symbol will also remain a secret now?
 
People criticizing the lighting, but that darkness is what made fighting the dead 10x more scary. Seeing the flames of the Dothraki go out in the thick of the dark and then all you hear are screams.

HBO’s pic quality was a bit off and they need to get that sorted, but aside from that it was a good ep.

NK went out how you didn’t expect him, everyone expected Jon or someone to go in and take him out but it’d take a special set of skills to take him out.

My only critique is I wish they released a bit more backstory to connect the dots surrounding the NK, like his relation with the three eyed raven, there’s a few other details as well alluded to earlier in the show, but yeah other than that it was good.
 
Poor Ser Jorah, thought he would make it to the end. That hurt me.

So Arya can assassinate anything!

Dunno overall, the most epic battle in telly history, and you can’t see most of it.

Is Rhaegal dead? Couldn't make that out in the dark.
 
Wither now? Dothraki gone, Stark army gone, Unsullied gone.... looks like Cersei holds all the cards.
 
People don’t know how to appreciate good art but the same incels will drool over avengers movies

Good for you I guess, I couldn't care less. Nerds ain't a monolith. However showrunners did water down the content last few sessions specifically to increase mass appeal and trying to reach out to every Tom, dick and Harry possible, sacrificed quality for TV ratings, a fact that can't be denied.
 
Thank God shows like Deadwood, Twin peaks or The Leftovers never went beyond the cult territory else woke millennial snowflakes would have surely made teen dramas out of them.

Wow you’re so edgy. Imagine comparing stuff like deadwood, breaking bad or the wire (the latter 2 I consider better than GOT) to a show like this. Why are you so mad about what these “nerds” enjoy. Stick to analyzing marvel movies and mediocre cgi villains. People who use the terms sjw, snowflake etc can very safely be ignored

You are the one quoting me, going hyper about my taste and personal opinion yet I am the edgy one? Where did I mention SJW genius? Please take your sanctimonious sermons to someone else who gives a crap. Typical snowflake!! gets triggered by mere sight of different opinion:salute

Why are you so insecure anyways? I didn't even notice you until now let alone mentioning or quoting you, not sure why you had to stoop to personal attack. Grow up and broaden your mind man, people can have views polar opposite to yours, its only normal, try and have a civilized discourse for a change instead of being triggered all the time.
 
I enjoyed the epside, entertainment wise it was superb. The dead were pretty scary at times as were the battles.

Yes the acting and screenplay werent the best but I gave up on it being a serious series with a strong story without any errors or weaknesses.

The allied human armies reminded of the Indian Air force, some of the tactics were strange. e.g you know dragon glass kills the walkers, so uless Jon Snow has no idea how to use a crossbow, he could have taken them all out pretty quickly but instead decided to fly around the air for a long time doing not much and being taken to the ground.

I agree with the Dragon flying...
The plan of course was to stay at the castle and attack the NK when he was with Bran but Danny, after seeing her army being decimated, decided to take off and he followed suite... I think from that point on he was trying find the NK and finish him before he got to the castle...

That was the point of the snow storm. The WWs didn’t emerge until the wights took out most of the defenders and the dragons were driven off.

They were lured into coming out :sachin

The NK was heading towards Bran with his generals, who were laughable as they did nothing in the battle or did nothting to protect their king. Im not sure why the NK decided to have a stare out competition with Bran, was he looking at himself or trying to gain extra pleasure before killing him?

It was common sense to fly low if you cant see. This would also have saved their dragons from being hurt knowing NK had his own dragon. It seemed like Jon and Dani had MIGs while he had the F16

Loved the episode. there were lots of up and down ending with a climax finish.
 
Closing the chapter on the WW and the NK was a cop out I think. I don’t think they plan on exploring his origins, motivations and other secrets any further during the next few episodes so all the theories and potential for shocking surprises and twists associated with the greatest mystery and dread regarding this show dies with episode three. Shame!

I am holding out hope maybe Bran will disclose a thing or two in the next episodes but it’s not much of a hope!
 
Bran looked like the most useless character in the end so his whole role was waiting under the tree to get killed...
 
What's stopping Arya from one shotting Cersei while everyone else enjoys a victory brunch?

Cant believe people like this. Such a sharp decline from the first 3 seasons.

Brilliant episode overall, but the Night King’s death was underwhelming. I don’t have any issues with Arya killing him, but it was a bit anticlimactic.

I would have done the following:

After Jon saw the Night King head to Winterfell, he along with Jamie, Hound, Theon, Brienne, Tormund and Grey Worm would have rushed to Bran’s aid because they knew they would go there.

They would form a ring to protect him and fight the Night King, who would overpower them on his own.

This would also have shown the Night King’s might in combat. During the fight, when he is about to kill them all including Bran, Arya would sneak up to him and kill him.

People, especially the book readers have a problem with Arya killing him because she doesn’t fit the Azor Ahai prophecy. Anyway, no matter how they would have gone about it, people would complain.

Nonetheless, what was Jon Snow trying to achieve by screaming at Viserion in the end? Never thought this episode would provide a funny moment, that too at Jon Snow’s behest.

Viserion attempting to burn Jon Snow would obviously not burn because he is a Targaryen would have made for an epic scene as well.

My favorite scene was the one with Sansa and Tyrion. For a moment, I almost thought they were going to commit suicide together. Their chemistry is amazing.

What do you think of Lyanna Mormont killing the giant wight despite being squeezed to pulp? A combination of poor writing and pandering to teen fanbase I think.

Agree with you on the Sana-Tyrion scenes, probably the only saving grace of this episode.

Can’t say I was a fan of it, but they had to give her a heroic closure. At least they didn’t have her kill 3-4 on her own before dying.
 
The Bran memes are funny but I don’t think his purpose was ever to take any form of action. He has knowledge of everything and that’s it. His sole purpose in this battle was to bait the night king and it worked out. However, Bran’s storyline for me has been the weakest in the show along with some others like the disastrous sand snakes stuff.

They botched Stannis and Dorne, which is why they got rid of those plots quickly. 8 seasons were never going to be enough. They needed 11-12 to cover everything, but you can’t tie up the actors for so long and Martin’s procrastination didn’t help either.

Fair enough.

Despite being so little she had the heart of a giant. There were so many ways to show that on screen yet they went with the most ridiculous scene possible. Really liked the fiery little she-bear, too bad she didn't have no plot armor.
 
Edd Tollett has to be the most underrated character on the show. Barely gets any fan hype, but he was brilliant. His watched has ended in the noblest of ways.

So what army is Dany left with?

2 Dragons

Some Unsullied and some stark men and a few Dothraki may be. At the most she can summon 2k-3k second sons from Essos. Max to max 10k men.

So unless the Dragons burn up the Lannister Army plus the 20k golden company plus 1000 Ships of Euron, she isnt getting the throne. I guess the total army at Cersei's command is in excess of 50k.

A dragon is like having a nuke. Im sure they can take out thousands in one swoop but I think one or both dragons might be killed so will have to be battle between people. Her friends at the iron islands will come back to help her.

The Night King looked at Bran quizzically and squinted at him before going for his sword. I think this was because the Night King realised at the last moment that Bran had outsmarted him. That’s why he turned around quickly and was (almost) able to stop Arya’s surprise attack - because he had an inkling that he had been fooled.

Another theory is he was supposed to die here under this Tree where CotF created WWs and Bran saw them in his vision. (Season 6 for ref)

Most of the iron islands are under Euron.

Also Qyburn has invented that Scorpion Artillery to take on the Dragons.

This is a weird statement because they basically have turned Game of Thrones into the typical cliche Avenger/Marvel film in the recent few seasons.

Too much plot armour, it is way too convenient for these characters to make it out alive from that assault in the courtyard like that. Theon and Jorah's death were so predictable, you could see it in episode 2. Jorah gets a good chunk of time in there, and then Theon coming back to his 'home.' They weren't necessary anymore.

They did not kill off Brienne even though she served her purpose for the fans who want a relationship between her and Jaimie.

They also pander to the fans through that stupid Lyanna scene, throwing in a few blatant jokes here and there with a pause for the viewers to laugh. It becomes much more obvious when you rewatch the show.

It's very unlikely they can fix these mistakes with these last three episodes, which is why GoT will not dethrone The Wire or the Breaking Bad as top shows, those two shows were near flawless, GoT has basically screwed up after four perfect seasons, as its appeal grows due to the characters, world they build so far, and the cinematic battles.

And my last point, fans are glossing over the weak writing just because this show has a massive budget which results in these huge battles and the characters, basically why Avengers is so popular, thus, this has become your fantasy themed Avengers TV show.

It indicates good continuity and considered thought in the writing of a television programme, which can be difficult to achieve over a period of several years. I know you are on a bit of a rant in your last couple of posts, but do try to have a bit of balance at least.
 
Anyone’s who closely analysed the seasons before would know that Arya was destined to deliver something great.

Unreal character development:

In season one or two:

She witnessed first source of pain when she saw her father being executed.

Her last conversation with her father involved chasing cats. Why? Because she knew in order to be a fighter she would need to chase the shadows of the cats as some things can be faster than the other. (Reference to Night King)

She found a teacher in her life who I now believe will be valued a lot more now. The teacher gave her the name “No one” and people said “No one” would be able to defeat the Night King. Who defeated the night king? A no one.

“I see darkness in you and in that darkness ice is staring at me.” How can anyone forget this lethal part?

She has been learning throughout the seasons, from a loud impatient girl to a composed cool no one. Unreal journey.

There are so many indications that she was going to do something exceptional. I’ve seen few ignorant comments about how this is all about feminism and woman power - now that’s just silly.

But credit where it is due, one of the best episode on TV history. The entire choreography is near perfect.

Good theory but as some general was also shown starteled and then immediatly NK looks back may be cause they heard it just the moment arya almost made it and not because bran was giving any vibe :p

Apparently there have been allusions in a number of episodes to the idea that “no one can kill the Night King” - well I guess in the end, “No One killed the Night King” :)

One of the WWs spotted Arya’s attack. The NK knew what the WWs knew, hence was able to counter Arya’s move,

The generals were rarely seen doing battle in any of the episodes. I suspect they were standing off as th NK was present as he was so powerful.

The entire NK and Bran moment was in super slow mo - what looked like an eternity was probably only a few seconds.

Ariya, with all her training that lead her to this was the one person who could evade everyone including the generals. It was poignant that one of the generals long white hair was blown by the breeze created by Aryia's ninja like stealth movement that got her close to the NK.

Honestly, having watched this episode three times now, I think it was superbly done. Even the dragons flying around looks better the more I see it.

I don't think he was Rhaegar, due to the time line. Also, with respect to the ability to fly the dragon, remember he risen from the dead which means he was fully under the NK's control.

Having said that, Tagarians can take fire and the NK certainly proved it that Fire can't kill him..
So, I'll keep an open mind on his origins.

Moving forward, It will be interesting to see Jon being set on fire in Kings Landing only for him to walk out of it unscathed. That will be the final proof to Dany and Cersi and whoever else, that Jon is indeed the rightful air to iron throne.
