re: Game of Thrones S8 E3 "The Long Night." Official Thread

I forgot it was Bran who gave Arya the knife. Woah.

I understand everybody's frustration but it seems like a lot of people are acting like this was the final episode. There's more time.

It's the one battle everyone has been looking forward to the most and all we see is wight fights and a little bit of the NK. No WW battles much less deaths. It was missing a lot.

No clue why people could possibly hold this opinion. 8 seasons of WINTER IS COMING. we must defend the realms of men. Our silly 7 kingdoms, titles, names, blah, wont matter if we dont fight the NK. Jon Snow, Sam, others even since episode 1 were beheaded trying to warn people the NK was the true enemy. The whole point of this entire story is that the living are the truly dangerous and will continue to be.

uhhh the whole "winter is coming" is/was very clearly a metaphor for how we are our own worst enemies and how we create our own problems and are too stupid and proud to realize it and instead squabble among ourselves instead of working together for the common good

the whole point of the show is we are our own worst enemy, and the only way to win the game is to not play. its not even very subtle. jon literally spent the entire last season repeating it over and over and over

No, but you’re pretty close

It’s denial. I’ll admit most of the episode was good, but I think this will quickly catch on. It took me 12 hours to realize TLJ was a piece of shite, and I was in denial from some who immediately realized how awful it was.

I’ll give this episode a 6 out of 10, but Arya killing the Night King brings it down 3 solid points. That was awful, and the fanboys/girls will realize it.

Oh really? She was the main reason Robert was killed

She worged into the boar that killed him eh? No the dude liked to do dangerous hunts drunk, it was going to get him killed eventually.

My biggest complaint of the episode. Jon did practically nothing.

Just checking in before I go to bed and say that I loved the episode.

Although after Mormont killing a giant and Arya killing the NK, I know the SJW complaints are going to be on par with the Star Wars hate.

Were yall expecting Jon to just best this supernatural being in a sword fight? They made it obvious in the last episode that the plan was to more or less assassinate him. That’s why Bran was in the godswood. That was the entire point.

Now people are shocked and pissed that the only trained assassin in the area, that has proven to be fricking ruthless and silent (and worships the god of death) is the one that killed him?

Nobody in winterfell was more equipped to kill him than Arya. It was going to take stealth and superior training. Nobody was going to just beat this dude in a frickin sword fight

---

Yeah, but, uh, deus ex machina bro.

Did Jon do much of anything?

---

Dany screwed everyone, especially Jon, over when she bailed because she couldn’t stand to see her army die.

The plan was for her to stay with Jon and use the dragons to hold off the dead and light the fires.

But she ran. So Jon went after her and was completely out of position most of the fight.

It’s denial

It seems like it’s more of a OML hates her character issue, considering you turn into a puddle of goo for a solid three months on this board every time she does anything of significance in the show.
