Everyone said last week that the episode was gonna be ok because it’s building up characters who will die “oh it’s their last night on earth let them have a nice moment”

Nope plenty more nights on earth for All of them.

I am Not saying I jeeded Jamie of JOn Snow to die. But Pod or Brienne come on

Chopping wights in half doesn’t kill them

Has to be fire on dragonglass pretty sure


The one they brought to KL had a hand still alive after being chopped off

send your Dothraki out into the darkness to be slaughtered and become ammunition for the dead?


That was pretty damn stupid.



Gave me my favorite scene of the night, though. When all of their lights were extinguished I had chills

True. I just thought I heard someone call him Grenn. Grenn was the bearded dude that died fighting the giant in the tunnel, correct?

Good news for you, he is still alive. He is in the preview for next week. Hard to see, in the quick shot when they are burning the bodies outside Winterfell.



OH HELL YES.

My only major complaint is that I just wanted something more out of the NK and Bran finally meeting face to face

I don't know if I expected the NK to talk or not, or maybe Bran say something, but I just felt like there should have been something said there that revealed something

Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the episode.

It was intense as hell. The pacing was fantastic.

I guess we could have got 1 major death, but oh well. Brienne was the only death that I missed. I thought her story was finished once she was knighted.

The whole point of the Dothraki horde was that they completely run over opponents in battle with their initial charge.

It is what they are known for

That's fine, but that is when they are fighting people. Not the dead (literally). And not in the numbers that they were facing last night.

It was stupid no matter how you cut it.

To everyone saying Dany should have no problem taking KL with 2 dragons, are y'all forgetting that Qyburn built the scorpion and has had plenty of time to improve on it since the Battle of Goldroad?

i thought they were effectively mongols

they are light cavalry who use bows, speed, and numbers to overwhelm opponents

I think It was a very cool effect but made no sense from a battle standpoint

dragon glass kills walkers, Valaerian steel, too (and it can repel the ice weapons of the walkers)

wights have to be chopped up or burned. you can use normal weapons

They would have been fun to watch in a daytime charge at King's Landing.

Oh well.

hell, i'm pretty sure the reason why we couldn't see half of last night's episode was to save money


I think it was more, "the night is dark and full of terrors', coming full circle.

I think hardhomme was the only battle the walkers did in daylight?
