Just about everything you said was spot on

quote:

3) Just let Jon and company die out there and live to fight another day but just with 6-7 less men.
She needed Jon because without him, the north wouldn't have accepted her as queen. Not willingly, at least. Remember the Starks and most other northern houses fought against the Targaryens during Robert's rebellion.

quote:

I will defend the Battle of Winterfell though, I'm sorry, that was a bad arse battle outside of completely wasting her Khalasar on a dumb charge into the night. It was a gritty, dirty, smokey battle and needed to be dark.
That charge was by far the stupidest thing in the show. Even the most retarded commander isn't sending damn near his entire cavalry and infantry to fight the enemy on an open field and giving up the advantage of a fortified castle. The episode was visually well done at least, though wish they could've had a little bit more light. Pretty much have to be in a dark room for it to be watchable.

ETA: Ramin Djawadi is the real MVP though. No matter how stupid the writing, at least the music was always perfect

Forgive me but I read that and what popped into my mind was

There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm.

Sorry.

It wasn't too dark for me to see it , I guess it pushed the envelope on what your tv could show.

Wasting the Dothraki was so, so stupid. I don't mind them being out there on the field, but frick- use some tactics. On horseback, you're faster than the dead. Just keep harrying the edges, and peel back off. They're not heavy cavalry, they aren't made to run through a pack of soldiers.
