HBO's Game of Thrones

What did she do that was superhuman. She's little and very good at moving about unnoticed.

Indeed, they set it up when Jon asks “how did you sneak up on me?”...

They made her super human...she's not super human.

Faceless men? That’s a super power if I’ve ever seen one. You have your opinion I have mine. I thought it was ****ing amazing and the best episode of tv I have eve seen. Better than endgame to me

She killed off dozens of zombies and flew through the air to kill the NK.

Everyone was killing zombies by the dozens there were so many of them. Arya knows how to fight. she pulled a similar move on Brienne.

No, you were paying attention just fine...they never explained it.

Oh... in that case, what a crap episode!

But seriously... the entire series started off with "winter is coming" and the whole thing around the White Walkers and the Night King, sure, there were all the plot twists and the political intrigue and family feuds, but shouldn't there be better closure for what was the central plot point of the series? At least, I thought it was the central plot point...

Whatever, I'll enjoy these few remaining episodes, I suppose there's still time to explain the whole thing with some choice exposition scenes.

BTW, am I the only one who thought Bran would end up being the Night King?

 

[BoosterGold06]

Arya = Mary Sue...really dumb.

Yeah calling Arya a Mary Sue just tells me that you don’t know what that term means so you use it to describe any female character you dislike.

It was ok. Could barely see a damn thing tbh

The transition shots were done purposely, to get you “lost in the storm” at all the different battles that were going on... At least my thought

No, Bran and Night King are the opposite forces.

And the idea of Arya as being superhuman is plain stupid. she can kill as much as most and she took a blow and was bleeding and ran away with the best of 'em. Jon doesn't have to be the big hero. On the other hand, in the world where there's giants, undead, magic, etc., maybe she got her no-one/assassin game up.

Best episode of GOT ever!!

Agree with everything said here

Awesome episode, however...

Did I miss something or do we still not know who the Night King is, where he came from, why he came now, will he (or something like him) come again in a thousand years?

I probably wasn’t paying attention, right?

Have to say they really dropped the ball on this episode. Most of the episode you couldn’t even see what was going on. Very disappointing. Incredibly stupid for them to build this episode up and release it the same weekend as Endgame. Marvel totally schooled them on battles. Battle of the Bastards is still the best battle of the series. This easily would have been but instead they just basically used the HBO static them as a filter for the whole episode

 

[jimcap]

Most of the battle was CQB. I thought it was very realistic and very well done.

 

[karamazov80]

Really good episode imo. Great tension, some nice story resolutions e.g. Davos and the witch. I liked Arya's role here. But, I should also say that things were pretty unsurprising overall, and that is pretty un GOT- like. None of the deaths were all that surprising. And this makes me think Martin is pretty uninvolved in things at this point. Watching the language in the behind the scenes segment reinforced this as the showrunners talk through their decision making process. And because it was so conventional, the episode doesn't seem as important and compelling as it could have been imo.

Good/borderline great episode...some thoughts, and in consideration of others:

Spoiler:

Melisandre showing up and lighting the Dothraki’s arakhs was cool...but charging into battle was pretty dumb of them, LOL. But it goes to show the different fighting tendencies of the Dothraki horde versus the Unsullied. Cavalry (I’d use the term lightly in the case of the Dothraki, but they are mounted) is better suited to offensive tactics such as charging whereas heavy infantry with shields and spear can be used offensively or defensively. One thing I’d wish they have shown was the Dothraki prowess in archery from horseback...on the other hand, it was night, LOL.

Was Tyrion correct in what he said last episode? “I think we may live”...at least, for those drinking by the fire. Tyrion survives, Ser Davos survived, as did Sers Jaime and Brienne, and Tormund. Did they feature Podrick at all? I can’t recall.

As far as character deaths, very worthy death scenes for Ser Beric Dondarrion and Ser Jorah Mormont. Ser Jorah dies defending his queen (though I was waiting for him to tell Dany to just run into the fire to get away from the wights, LOL) and Ser Beric fulfilling his reason for being brought from death all those times...to keep Arya alive so she can be the one that killed the Night King.

Theon got an honorable send off as well, but poor Edisson, got stabbed in the back.

And Lyana Mormont defeating the undead giant. With her death and Jorah’s death, I guess that’s the end of House Mormont.

The dragon versus dragon scenes were incredible to see. We’ve seen dragons on film before, but I can’t recall any film that depicted by dragons fighting each other. I’m assuming Rhaegal survived his crash landing? Otherwise he would have been reanimated when the Night King reanimate the others.

Having said all that, and as satisfying as this episode was, I feel like things after this will be anticlimactic as this was described as the Great War. Hopefully the last three episodes will prove me wrong.

Spoiler:

The White Walkers were created by the Children of the Forest -- presumably, they were originally weapons meant to win them a war. Clearly they lost control of said weapons.

Edit:***Whoops, someone beat me to it.

 

[ZE_501]

While the battle was hard to see, I think it did a great job of illustrating the chaos and fog of war.

There were a lot of things I really liked about the episode, including

Spoiler:

Arya's game of hide and seek

.

I do agree with karamazov80 in that it didn't feel as unpredictable and wrenching as previous episodes where Martin was more involved.

We have 3 episodes to wrap up the Cersei business and who knows who survives that? I think that may be the real bloodbath to come.

Spoiler:

I know -- tell that to *all* the Dothraki.

Podrick was fighting beside Brienne. Not sure if he survive. Jon just ignore Sam's call for help, lol.

Amazing, epic episode. The way the elements--the darkness of night, the blinding wind and snow--played into making the episode a story of absolute chaos and horror made the episode for me. This was a full on horror show that put the last several seasons of The Walking Dead to shame. The loss of so many characters that we loved even though we knew it was coming was just soul shattering. Everything here was earned. Just like Endgame. Everything here was built up for years and this was the payoff and what a payoff it was. That scene with Arya made me scream at the top of my lungs and I'm hoarse again just like I was after doing the same for the last hour of Endgame Thursday night. WOW!!! That really happened. I have no idea where the hell they go from here.

 

[jrice73]

Yeah calling Arya a Mary Sue just tells me that you don’t know what that term means so you use it to describe any female character you dislike.

Agreed. Arya has been like the spine of this show for years. Her journey led us to that moment. Calling her a Mary Sue is so off point and disingenuous it's not even funny. Its pure ****ing idiocy honestly.

Agree 100%

The exact opposite of a Mary Sue.

As a matter of fact, I was surprised by how close to death she came, I thought they'd make her an even more relentless killing machine. But that last scene of hers un - ****ing - believable! In a good way.

Phenomenal, at times (intentionally) confusing episode.

I nearly thought Jon was a goner.

I had a strong feeling going in, that this episode would see the death of the NK, but I was really starting to think I was wrong as the episode reached its final minutes.

Now it's time to fulfill Cersei's prophecy!
