.Game. .Of. .Thrones. 8x3

You guys should get black out curtains, too.

Nebula Core

Y'all to critical with others opinion and the ending was decent not the best do

Hector

What part of that doesn’t make sense to you? They are not concerned with protecting the night king, he can do it himself

brog.

I wish I could like this comment a hundred times over. Anyone who disagrees is clueless

Matt Haloostock

The first scene of this show is the discovery of the white walkers by a few members of the night's watch. Yet the story gets wrapped up in a single fight that doesn't make it past Winterfell lol. So much for the long night.

Matt Haloostock

How does that make any sense? lol

Matt Haloostock

How do so many major characters survive? Brienne, Jaimie, Tormund, the Hound (and don't even get me started on Sam) all get surround and mauled to the ground multiple times but somehow don't face any life threatening injuries. What the fuck are the wights doing, hugging them? lmao. Jon falls off a dragon, gets up and starts running and then gets surrounded by hundreds of wights but somehow comes out with a slight limp. Dany sits on the ground without a care in the world as if her and Drogon aren't a massive target. The literal episode before, Jon says we can't beat them in a straight fight and yet they send the entire Dothraki hoard out to a straight fight. I guess they wanted to grow the army of the dead. The writing is so lazy and has a complete lack of respect for the show before it. I do not know how anyone can defend the writing of the show after this episode. Apart from a couple of good character moments, it's completely abysmal.

Matt Haloostock

Brother why people don't understand that just because you don't like it they can't like it as well... they enjoy it, and they have fun watching that's it.

Bradley Acosta

Cannon still blindly liking GOT its crazy to me, this episode and the season it self so far is full of shit, i cant believe what am hearing, if in the end of season 8 he says that he liked it, and gives the season something like 6 or 5 out of 10, i think that my ears are going to bleed when i hear it. But i know that the more you rewatch GOT the uglier it gets, like comparing this to season 1 to 4 its like comparing water to piss

OoBeRoN Yordanov

night king death is SUCKS

Albdre

Ps MAYBE IN HOUSE OF THE DRAGON the dagger MIGHT be revealed to have been something created in it, that allowed it to kill the night king. But considering there’s no night king in the book, I don’t know how that would work.Viserys carried it and now Aemond?

Ashley

The one where Jon Snow is set up to have a big final battle vs. the Night King for THREE seasons and shit never happens. And we insert Arya who we love. But has nothing to do with the white walker, plot.

Ashley

thought my man was pulling a Lt. Dan

Thomas Strunk

idk if i'm going insane, but me questioning reality thinking Jack lost his foot at 53:36

Thomas Strunk

Jorah death is always the hardest

Jarvis O'Kain

Omg you guys really are GOT haters…

Mss Lee

They did not do my boy Jon like this in this episode💀 no way that’s one of my goats. I commend my ability to scrub these last few seasons from canon in my head.

Shadow

insane take 🙏

leah

The conflict was always going to be one battle. How much longer could they possibly stretch it out

ken

Jon literally assembled the army that saved the world.

ken

The two worst scenes of his and it involves dragons in 1 season lol him being responsible for the other dragons death earlier in the season is still probably his most stupid moment. "Oh we're leaving? Let me not be with yall and instead walk towards the enemy even though I could have dipped so much sooner" What'd they do to my boy!!!

Zess

I was basically saying that if they don't read the books and find those theories, and they aren't finished, the show sure as hell didn't reveal it either.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

It's not shown in the show, and is only a theory from the books. But if showrunners were given insight (and the money ig), they could have revealed why one way or other. Unless George didn't tell them at all, which might be my guess. But the theory is to wake an army of dead Starks and possible other northmen to defend them in the long night.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Why? I think they’ve seen it all now so it won’t be a spoiler to tell me.

Linn

Yeah I was joking a lil, I know he got some good kills during the battle for the Wall, but he doesn’t have many at all. And Samwell mf Tarly killed a White Walker 💀 I’m being fr, both of them got some thick plot armor. Love Jon’s skill but it’s disappointed me often.

Icchi

There are def some great shots! Could you imagine this done in competent hands? Would’ve been probably the best episode of any show on television ever!

Daenerys Targaryen

On 2nd watch, the actual battles weren’t as bad as I remembered but the way the Night King went out was still so infuriating. Also, Jon screaming at a dragon, I’ll admit, was top 3 goofiest scenes in the whole show. Jon deserved at least the 1v1 even if he didn’t kill the night king. They were teasing the crap out of it and building up his beef with the night king for at least 3-4 seasons. On top of that, the whole Prince that was promised prophesy ended up being irrelevant af cause neither Jon nor Dany ended up being the reason the NK perished in the end.

lola

I agree that Arya killing the night king made a bit more sense seeing as Arya spent all of like 2 seasons being blind just so she could train to be a many faced god. But you CANNOT say Jon has no notable dubs. Yeah he lacked experience and he was an honorable fighter when he fought the Gin Alley guy but he also learned from his mistake and was able to kill the Magnar of the Thenns in the battle for the wall. He also killed a White Walker. Be so foreal rn.

lola

The plot armor did go stupid this episode

Icchi

Arya cooked again 🐐🔥 I don’t know why people think Jon should’ve killed the Night King, does he have a single notable dub all series? And Jon’s top 3 for me but Arya had all the build up, and the skill to execute the Night King in the final moment, with her training as no one. Jon lost to a dude from Gin alley, Arya beat Brianne of mf Tarth… there’s levels to this 🤷🏽‍♂️

Icchi

Jon and Dany watching the battle with the dragons is on of my fav scenes ever. Even in this bad episode there’s some crazy shots. And Dany and Jorah is goated

Shadow

Such a “long” night But fr the white walkers/dead, night king, and long night gotta be one of the biggest fumbles ever. They made a show only creation with the night king that was actually cool then turned him into this. And Jon coulda been used so much better

Shadow

Y’all must be watching on a toaster, the lighting is fine lol

Icchi

On the second watch, I still can’t see 70% of what’s going on 🤣

Richie Sour

Anytime Jon is near or riding a dragon i think of him in How To Train Your Dragon 2. Eret son of Eret my GOAT

Tiga

we just saw the white walkers not move an inch when theon went to kill the night king. think its pretty clear its supposed to be the same thing with arya. they even show one of them glance at her right before. maybe you guys missed it though.

brog.

Same goes for Battle of the Bastards in terms of tactics tbf, but people love that

TheSauceGuy

didn't he interview GRRM once too?

TheSauceGuy

even if you don’t watch glidus, i highly recommend the dragon times for hot d s 2!! alt shift x’s evil cousin, alt schwift x really has such good chemistry with glidus so their collabs are always hella funny AND insightful. the finale installment is literally movie length, and it was soo good

alexis ♡︎

Coalition War arc clears whatever this shit was

ssj4rit

if anyone’s feining for asoiaf content, glimbo dropped a new dragon time w schwifty for the finale of hot d a couple of days ago🤌🏾

alexis ♡︎

Get em Carter

ssj4rit

Kit Harrington the actor who plays John was injured filming 8x1. A lot of what you are seeing for him had to be shifted around because of the injury. His stunt double is doing all of the actual fighting, running, jumping in this episode. But Kit has said in many interviews how angry he was when he found out he wasn’t the one to kill the Night King. Kit went into in patient therapy as soon as he finished filming the last episode. He has done a lot of interviews over the years discussing how he feels about season 8 and John’s part in it.

I❤️movies&tvshows

Like my blood is boiling rn having to talk about it, gotta keep tabs on that blood pressure, loves.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I thought top 5 was the best to do, otherwise I might as well do the entire series, but you can guarantee it's number 6. I also just didn't want to acknowledge it (yet) because it is probably the one that makes me feel the most helplessly angry. I'll save acknowledging it and my thoughts for when it's posted.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

The fact 8.5 is not here is insane

Nomaan

Exactly, like if jaquen hgar showed up and killed the night king as well would people still defend it? Like oh he’s a great assassin so it makes sense that he’s the one to kill him.

Mitch

Exactly Mitch, D & Ds main reasoning behind Jon not being the one to kill the night king had NOTHING to do with story, "It just didn't feel right" to them... smh. That's honestly a really good comparison of Chewbacca and Darth Vadar. I'm sure they still have the after credit parts of the episodes where the producers explain the reasoning behind decisions in episodes, so even if the Geks don't react on Patreon to those, I feel like they should still watch them to hear all the BS behind D & Ds decisions. Especially considering whats coming up with the infamous "Dany kinda forgot about the...."

Bean

The beginning of the end for nonsensical writing season 5 was a headache season 6 had only two good moments season 7 was questionable and season eight was diabolical

Jada

It’s predictable because it had 8 seasons of foreshadowing and build with him as the main hero. It’s the same thing as if Chewbacca shot Darth Vader in the back while he was fighting Luke. I guess it would make sense how he could kill him but it doesn’t make any sense for the story

Mitch

This slow walk of shame to the end of this watch is PAIN✨🔔✨ And my least fav episodes in order are actually: 7.7 8.4 5.3 8.3 8.6

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

i feel like when i first saw this episode i was saying it was fine but when i got into the last episode i realized how bad the episode was by writng decisions i cant really explain why until you see the last episode

Renek

Do we get 8x4 tomorrow?

Scinaps

I liked that they observed the redemption of the traitors, but I think they forgot to include Beric Dondarrion on the list, he betrayed Arya and also died, saving her xD

Gost César

Cannon getting choked up during Jorah’s death scene 🥹😢

Eliana Ayala

I love your guy’s interaction with this episode! It was cool to see you guys enjoying it again! However, I know exactly how you feel Carter… so much (especially of this season) feels incomplete.

Vanessa Sanchez

Can’t believe you actually said, “I’m trying to think how the eff Cersei loses” One dragon is enough to take king’s landing. If that wasn’t evident enough already. Hodor and Tyrion and a capable dragon rider can take king’s landing.

Caleb Cypress

Ooooof Carter is pissed

Sean Carroll

Media literacy is truly in a crisis if you think the last few episodes of this show are any good lol

alternia though

Night King would have destroyed Jon in a 1 v 1 lol. Big shout out to Karl Tanner. A fucking legend.

Kamina 1

the only correct opinion

alternia though

I will die on the hill that Jon should have been the one to kill the night king, or at the very least have an actual fight against him on the ground that results in his death, even if he isnt the one who did the final blow. Just because it was predictable that Jon would be the one to kill the night king doesn't make it bad or cheap writing. It was predictable because it made sense

Bean

Pls react to Severance, your minds will be blown

Saram Shaikh

Book Tyrion is interesting...

Amna 🍉

I agree with you with the importance of that but I don’t think anyone is downplaying the importance of that. The writers downplayed the importance of that. If that is what the audience was meant to get from this epic episode then I agree that it could have been Jons true moment. Instead we get a moment that feels rushed and undeserved, a moment stolen from Jon. I think that’s why people are upset. But I agree with what you said, however, to make the audience happy, this moment that should have been THE MOMENT, it needed to be developed through the writers and directors far better than it was. And to fix that, all they needed was one thing, just one thing written better-a better strategy, better tactics, better character dialogue/communication and more episodes to make it worth it. 4 things I guess.

GreetswithJudgement

Just do not under any circumstances listen to audiobook Tyrion, it will make it worse 😅

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

To me, I live that Arya killed the nightking. Her sneaky ass got him! Jon was meant to bring. Everyone together which he did. People downplay the importance of that. Him killing nightking would have been way too predictable. Arya been training for this stealthy mission.. I love how she dropped the daggar and got him with other hand- nust like the Brianne foreshadow. Perfect. The music is awesome also. Jorah and Theon dying broke my heart.

Not today

You know what else has been foreshadowed since day 1…. jons true heritage 👀

Studio Geck

This season came out in 2019, not 2017. In fact, you said this was the Endgame before Endgame, Endgame came out in Theaters the week this episode aired. Arya Stark & Tony Stark had a big weekend together.

Christopher

I've always enjoyed the show up to this point. My issue is always with the last 3 episodes. Especially 8x4, which I think is the worst episode in the show.

Christopher

The Expanse is so good I hope they watch it one day.

1999

The creators said it was a last-minute change to make Arya the one to kill the night king lol. It is supposed to be Jon. The quote about the god of death has nothing to do with this really, same with the blue eyes quote.

Man Lit

Trueeee. Season 2 comes out January 17 boys so u could bang out the first 10 eps and react to season 2 in real time

JAY

No, I'm pretty sure they're not.

Daenerys Targaryen

sorry if asked already but are they doing histories and lore? i think they’d fw it

davosmith1

I was so certain of this back in like 2016😂one of my favorite theories for sure. Then I read the books lol

Zechree

Expanse clears

Mike Lew

What training?? She trained for a few months as a kid and then was basically hostage for 3 seasons. In season 5 she cleaned bodies and no fighting experience whatsoever. In season 6 she was abused as a blind girl before returning her eyesight and having a training montage. After that she went to watch a play…. Where is all the epic training that would justify this

Sean Carroll

I hate this ep so much. I need to say, when I can see it, it is well directed with great choreography. But battle is shit, from tactical point of view. WTF was that? You have walls, use them. Who came up with this??? Plot armor is crazy strong, no significant deaths in fight this big. They were literally on top of them in that one scene... I didn't want my favorite characters to die, but WTF is this? Also, why can I not see half the scenes? Who thought that was a good idea? John hiding behind the rock, and we know this dragon destroyed the wall. I would not even be mad that Arya killed NK if it was foreshadowed just a bit. Dumb & Dumber wanted to "subvert expectations", they literally said it. It was too obvious if Joh killed it. Also, who puts ppl in crypt when fighting the dead. So f stupid. All characters lost around 50IQ from first seasons. It is soo dumb, I am getting mad over a show. Go touch grass or something, I know. But good part of my life I spent watching this show, cheering for characters, watching them grow, crafting theories, sharing this love for the show with my friends. This whole season is one big f you to the fans. Worst thing is, it just gets worse from here. I did not believe it possible, but it does.

Uros Vesic

Pure Kino.

Zannen Da

He’s Dany. He heard the bells. Ding ding.

Zannen Da

Yea they should have set it up better but I think Arya was always supposed to be the one to do it.

Thicc Thanos

It could have been so much better

DC

And then they could all read kingdom too!

Mitch

This has been foreshadowed since the beginning. “What do we say to the god of death? Not today.”

Thicc Thanos

and The Last Kingdom haha

Isabella Hayes-Hollands

whenever you guys throw out theories that are clearly overestimating d&d’s terrible writing skills it’s bringing up some ptsd of all of us going through it back in 2019 thinking about all the possibilities they could’ve ended the show with 😭 sweet summer child it’s a canon event i can’t interfere

Zahra A

jon’s entire character arc revolving around the night king and the white walkers for….nothing literally which is why even tho its true it wouldve been too much on the nose if he had killed him himself, but he at least deserved to be more involved than whatever that was lmfao just flying around with rhaegal and hiding from dead viserion everything was just so underwhelming…i still enjoyed that episode and say it’s the last episode of the season that was « okay » lol the rest is truly a downfall into the ends of hell so best of luck to you guys 🤣

Zahra A

@all watch "Game of Thrones Evil Ending" on youtube. That video puts a book-theory-worthy twist onto the show ending

mk

The Night King’s powers are inconsistent so no point arguing over them, they’re just nerfed or amplified to fit the story when needed

ssj4rit

It’s been going to crap since after s4, it’s just the drop will be way more precipitous now.

ssj4rit

“Once the books are finished” About that…

ssj4rit

What are you mad about?? Tell us!

Daenerys Targaryen

Thanks Geks! It was dark for sure.

jrnoodles

If she was already there how did she get such a long flying jump without the White Walkers reacting to it.

PST3

Sam is also lazy and fails to send the ravens foreshadowing GRRM not finishing the books.

PST3

I love Arya but this was so unsatisfying. It was Jon's entire storyline having beef with Night King and uniting everyone against him, it should've been a last big 1v1 between them. I also think a lot more characters should've died. That way it could've been more satisfying, like only a few characters left alive and Jon and NK having the final showdown. This way it all felt way too easy.

Anna J

Seriously, I just need this to end already. I hope they just drop the rest of the episodes.

Daenerys Targaryen

That literally sounds like confirmation he doesn't stay dead lol

Anna J

We'll see.

creeper doodle

Oh! I couldn’t see a lot of the episode on the day it aired lol maybe my tv was trash 😭

Lydia

But don't come for George or respectfully, I'll have to turn on you 😂 😭

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

This is wild, but one of the theories I would have loved to see for the show, considering how they decided to end it. Compelling at least.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Cersei will also be irredeemable in the books. George definitely understands that some people will be irredeemable.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

He represents this with EURON in the books. He is trying to make commentary on "othering" among species and societies regarding the white walkers who have barely been introduced and are just called "the others" in the books. It isn't moral relativism.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I love how the director or whoever said they made it so dark to really immerse the audience, when one of the best episodes with the battle at the wall was also at night, yet we could see everything and I was definitely immersed and invested. Me thinks the Ds just wanted plausible deniability for their hack shenanigans.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Drop em, let us all commiserate together 👿

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

He's said that Tyrion is his insert, Sam is a Samwise nod.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Let's do Kingdom after this please, we need some proper shows to cleanse the pallette after S8

Jigga Man

@Mysterious Figure. You just watched an episode where the Night King conjured up a storm to blast Jon and Dany's dragons away from his White Walkers, and in which he was enable to freeze the wood in the trenches so much that the fire arrows loosed to light it all got snuffed out on contact. When the White Walkers appear it always get appreciably colder, so the ice freezing on the lake above the Wall was inevitable, no extra magic required. Do you even watch the show? :D

NoneOfYourBeeswax

Sorry the dump on your dreams but we're not getting TWOW much less ADOS as GrrrrM clearly has no interest in finishing the books, much less the whole series. His Dunc & Egg books were only novellas but he can't even get another one of them done. Which is a shame, as they would have culminated in the tragedy at Summerhall, and I would have loved to read about those events. I'm just hoping that when GrrrrM is no longer with us his publishers commission someone to complete ASOIAF in recompense for the fat advance they gave him for TWOW with no return.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

As far as Ara getting passed the white walkers, I think she was there before them. After her talk with Melisandre she went straight to Bran and was hiding, which is why they demonstrated her being able to be stealth around the whits. I think they wanted it to be so unexpected that they opted to not show her getting there first and it just created a huge plot gap

Smokey

for instance, why are there not archers constantly firing arrows once they got to the trenches, the dothraki charge is one of the worst plans ever, why was there only one trench, they needed more trenches, they needed the dothraki to surprise attack during when the whites sieged on winterfell, hit them from the sides or something, and jon killing the night king isnt on the nose at all, “the prince that was promised will bring the dawn” which is jon, bring the dawn is ending the long night, george rr martin wrote jon as the prince 100%

Caleb

Upon review i think youll start to see the holes in this shiteshow, yes there are so many amazing shots and it looks beautiful but the battle itself, the plan of how they defend is absolutely horrid screenplay, either on the characters part of the writers part

Caleb

Lol cue me forgetting the events of season 8 🤣

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

I guess it is but there are some moving parts. They could just animate it still I think but I'm not expert.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

YES EXACTLY 😂

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

bullet points for the episode -Bran playing league of legends on VR the whole episode -Jon yelling at a dragon AAAAAAAAA -Everyone who is needed for conflict with Cercei has plot armor, while all others are free to die -Night King ultra aura as always -Arya the prince who was promised -Dothraki kamikaze maneuver the cgi was great, the music was great, characters are incredibly stupid and everybody lost 50% iq points since season 4-5, white walker stuff was handled poorly. overall its a shame, the show could've been breaking bad+ tier, only if Dumbass&Dumbass dropped ego and hired competent writers to help them out from season 5 onwards ❤👏

kivu_king

There is no proof. Just blindly supporting dumb & dumber mistakes.

Leo

We don't even know if he's coming back for sure 😁😁. He literally said, "oh, you think he's dead, do you?" to one reporter.

Leo

Theres some good parts about this episode and you'll start to think about them/realize once the shock and awe wears off. Theres some good videos on youtube about how the whole army set up doesn't make sense and even a 'rewrite' of the entire season once you've completely finished the show.

Kai Harwood

This is exactly what I hate about a lot of aspects of George's writing: his moral relativism is grating at times. Sometimes a bad guy is just a bad guy and needs to be defeated.

CHIEF

I try not to be so negative on here because it all really doesn't matter so just believe me when I say this is some of the most mind-numbing fan fiction to fill in for something never once hinted at or conveyed I've ever seen.

CHIEF

The absolute silence that followed once The Night King started playing was 😌👌🏻🤌🏻

Nikita M

There's a lot to be said about this episode but I'll just stick to one point: I think Jon should've actually fought the dragon and killed it before the Night King dies. Like if they wanted to say Arya had subtle foreshadowing to kill him and subvert classic fantasy tropes, sure, whatever. But Jon needed to do something in my opinion and killing Viserion would be no small feat, as opposed to standing there screaming at it. Even just put up a good fight and get saved with his back against the ropes would be fine.

CHIEF

Jack is finally FREEE

Agent September 🏴‍☠️

😂😭

Nikita M

Can we get the remaining episodes soon so this can all be over for everyone 🙏😭

Nomaan

Happy birthdayyy

Afra

I'll also follow up with this... I hope you guys are able to just watch the show and give your takes regardless of whatever is going on in the comments. and seems like that's what you guys have been doing for the most part, and I'm glad. You shouldn't agree or disagree with anything being said in here. Just finish it out. It's been a journey. Hopefully one you're glad you took.

Paul Durbin

Carter commented in the discord spoiler section, they finished watching the show😭

Amna 🍉

Oh they're on amazon now!!!

Amna 🍉

Right guys do u think the Geks have finished the show or is their reaction in the comments referring to just anything that happens in the next 3 episodes 😭😭

Nomaan

I honestly don’t even so much care that it was Arya as I care how it was executed. At least all that training was for something. 🤷‍♀️ But why was it THAT easy???

Dani G

I’ve seen some tiktoks of Barnes & Noble having them?

Nomaan

I'll agree, season 8 LOOKS very good. Beyond that, please tell me you appreciate media for more. Cause I got nothing. It's all such a convoluted mess by this point. Hard to explain it all unless you've followed along since season 5.

Paul Durbin

Why is this making me die laughing

Nomaan

After...

Paul Durbin

I'm gonna play devils advocate here. I feel like George is the same way. I haven't followed since the end of the show and I believe he has said that no one I has guess the ending. I feel like people have and he doesn't like it and that's why it's taking so long to finish the books because he is trying to change the ending to be something else. Also in the books Jon may come back a darker version of himself. We don't know what's in the card with his character in the books. We don't even know if he's coming back for sure. I blame D&D a lot but I also blame George for not finishing the books. And he's still not finishing to redeem this show. I truly feel like he's gonna have them finish after he passes away to avoid the backlash. Because I feel his ending won't be good either

Ana

I noticed how the whole "plot made any relative coherent sense" part is missing from your glazing.

Paul Durbin

Nothing he predicted is wild whatsoever. This whole episode could be telegraphed by an 8 year old.

Paul Durbin

True, just doesn't make as much sense to me. I'd honestly like to believe she was waiting above since it seems more logical 😅

CoLdBITeR

Been here since AoT over a year ago, and I've been here specifically since GoT 1x1. Sadly, we've made it to where we are now... I had a whole thing prepared for this episode but what's the point. There's just the 7 regulars that are gonna bitch about whatever I have to say. I'll leave you with this... While I was watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi for the first time, I was about 3/4 through the film, and had come to the conclusion that they had completely fucked the whole franchise, but then Finn was about to sacrifice himself by kamakaze-ing into the giant laser thingy. I was like, "Oh shit no way this is fucking sick." In a half-ass attempt to justify the shit I had sat through and perhaps even redeem it to the point where it really wasn't as shit as I thought it was. If the film had the fucking balls to do something like this, I can look past all previous mishaps. Then Rose comes in and shunts him out of the way. "Oh wait... this movie is still complete shit..." Similarly in this show, when the swarm of wights were descending on the crew after the decimation of the Dothraki cavalry, numerous semi-main characters are absolutely bombarded. Brienne - dead. Jaime - dead. Sam - dead. Tormund - dead. I was like, "Oh fuck, is nearly everyone going to die this episode????? Let's gooo. This is ittt. I'm totally okay with this." Next scene - Brienne - still fighting and fine. Jaime - still fighting and fine. Sam - still fighting and fine. Tormund - still fighting and fine. "Oh wait... this show is still complete shit..." Regardless of your thoughts about this show, all I'm saying is that these moments gave me the exact same reaction/emotion. Potential redemption followed by more of the same/complete disappointment. In my eyes, they had a slight moment to actually do something and... nah lets just stick to the plan we've been runnin with... Sorry for all the (I'm certain there are) spelling mistakes. I've been pullin an all nighter finishing up this client's account. I'm super drunk and there's no way I'm watching season 8 sober.

Paul Durbin

The entire show they build up Jon Vs. The Night King, then Dumb & Dumber (David & Dan) have Arya LITERALLY FLYING in to kill him... Such lazy writing IMO... And their reasoning was, "everyone expected it to be Jon, so we wanted to do something nobody expected." (something along those lines). LIKE WHAT!? loI I guess the Lord of light brings Jon back to life for no reason then...cool

Branflakes

No no you're good lol yall were accurate, cant be mad about that. Hearing about all the cut characters and story lines does sound really cool! I'll admit I'm scared of reading book Tyrion though lol I'll probably get around to it someday. I know one of my best friends would love that.

Zess

This would have been insane and so, so good. I like it even better than the Bran Warg Dragon theory.

Dani G

Yup. Same, Carter. SAME! I vented for hours after it first aired. Still furious about it.

Dani G

Drogon will never leave dany no dragon will leave their rider. this episode was disappointing

Carlos arcos

It's kinda weird that you guys look at the ratings before watching the episodes, you would have 0 expectations of the last the 3 episodes but knowing that they are like 4-6/10 your expecting the worse of every situation.

Skyz

Jorah's last scene always kills me he is so loyal to the end. I honestly think more main characters should have died, it would've made more sense but the plot armour is insane in the show especially the last few seasons. I also didn't mind the fact that it wasn't Jon who killed the night king because it leaves the question of who is the prince/princess that's promised open for interpretation, like someone said it would've been too on the nose.

Laney Tapia

Who has a better story than bran the broken 😃 🔫

Sean Carroll

1. I don’t own panties 2. If I did own panties they wouldn’t be in a wad 3. Jon yelling at the dragon is not shown to provide any extra help to Arya getting to the night king, he literally stands up to face the dragon because he has given up, Arya and Jon are in separate locations at this point

Sean Carroll

The episode clearly showed her going past the white walker as their hair blew

Sean Carroll

Where is your proof of that

Sean Carroll

It happened... Well at least on HBO max

Sifu Alberto Gaytán Martínez

Sam didn't die because he's George's self insert character. Sam is George. He definitely should of died though lol

Ana

Also Arya was already in the Godswood. She was waiting for him the whole time after the Milensandre scene. She knew he was going to Bran. So she was waiting there. Ok I'm done now

Ana

We lost so many real ones RIP especially Theon and Jorah two of my fav characters. It hurt but they went out with Honor Dany lost the only person who truly loved her. I'm gonna say but Jorah is the best knight to me. That man has so much willpower. He was old af but always protected his Khaleesi. Thank you to the North and Dany and her crew they saved Westoros

Ana

I thought Arya was already waiting up in the tree, which is why when she attacked the night king, she came down from above. Also in the books it seems there isn't a night king, at least what I heard.

CoLdBITeR

I'm sad that once the books are finished, there won't be a show adaptation of the canon ending to the series, as well as many other tremendously important events throughout the story. Hopefully, they'll create a high-budget animated series, similar to the Witcher animated movies but in show form. GRRM needs to cook! Overall, the cinematography of this episode was incredible, but it was far from perfect. Here are some of the major issues: 1. The Night King's intentions should have been clearer. 2. Jon should have killed the Night King, fulfilling the prophecy of "The Prince That Was Promised." 3. The White Walkers and the Night King should have been more prevalent throughout the battle. 4. More magic should have been used by both Melisandre and Bran. 5. More people should have died, and there should have been more wights. 6. It should have taken longer to defeat the Night King. All in all, despite the moments and seasons of poor writing since season four, Game of Thrones' peak is far beyond any show I have ever seen. Best show and my favorite story of all time!

Riley

Haha true

Abogaymer

Yup. Can’t wait for that upload…

A_Daddy Daichi

Haven’t read the books but this is how I felt on first watch. White walkers were more important to me than the throne and they ended the threat in one episode 😒

A_Daddy Daichi

Plot conveniences, Plot armour, insignificant deaths and plot twists for the sake of shock value shoved in to one episode. I will give them that the cinematics were 10/10

Skyz

What do you mean? I watched it when it aired and saw all of that. It's my favorite part.

Teri M

I love Arya and the hounds relationship so much. My favorite bond in the show

Ana

Omg when I heard they were gonna be in the crypt i thought that was so dumb but then I thought all the kings of the north were gonna rise with their swords to protect them. But unfortunately that didn't happen Also it would of been sick for all of the Valyrian steel holders to 1v1 the night king's generals

Ana

Ghost should of been with Sansa tbh

Ana

The worse thing about this season that Cersei was more of a big bad than the Night king. Like huuuuh...? Everyone says Arya killing the night king was no build up but they guessed her as one of the options in the intro. 😂😂😂😂

Ana

You’re the only one who sounds angry here 😭😭😭

Mitch

I would still 100% recommend the books, they haven't done any character justice in the show. You get to learn so much the lore and history. Plus new characters like Young griff, lady stoneheart aka Catelyn resurrected and Arianne Martell. The books have a lot to offer

Amna 🍉

I didn't mean to sound rude or anything😅 he did say recently on his blog that he wrote more pages so 🤞🏽 but yea is obvious the ending is not the same bc of the many differences

Amna 🍉

Good luck stealth killing a guy on a dragon lol come on now. There was no moment before where someone could have snuck up on him, except for when he fell off the dragon and someone was hiding among the bodies maybe lol it was fate and the single moment of everyone coming together that could make it happen in that single moment. Lord of light saw her role and resurrected a man 6 times to be able to save 1 girl 1 time. If the show wasnt rushed to shit, I think this decision would have gone over much more smoothly. She wasn't my first pick to be the one to do it, but I dont hate how she did it or got there.

Zess

It's not defending when it just isn't an issue to someone lol can't defend a non problem! I get the sentiment completely on not wanting Arya to be the one to do it. She wasn't my first pick either. But her being sneaky is a very much non issue lol she's been doing that for like half the series.

Zess

Hey, I hope yall are right lol I'm definitely just a show watcher. Won't try to deny that. If he actually goes back and finishes the story I will 100% read it all. Just feels kind of hopeless right now to do so. I dont want to join yall as book fans and then be disappointed with no conclusion! I've already had enough of that lol

Zess

I hope no one else rides danys dragons tbh. But if someone has to, I think Jon and... Euron will ride the other two.

creeper doodle

It is always easy to spot people who haven't read the books. The books are so good, and characters are SO vastly different in them. Show bias really makes me not want to participate in community conversations, because so many people misrepresent the characters I know well, because all they know are the show counterparts.

creeper doodle

George R.R. Martin has said that Melisandre is his most misunderstood character. What you have to remember about her is that she is a fanatic. And as a fanatic, she believes that her actions are justified because she is serving a righteous purpose. And that’s how you end up with her committing atrocities. It is the ultimate outcome of believing the ends justify the means. But at her core, she believes she is serving mankind. And some of her actions do have positive outcomes.

Blackeyedlily

Does anyone in the comments know when the new covers of the books will be released? All they've said is that they will be released in October

Amna 🍉

Agreed! I believe Cersei will be long gone from King’s Landing before Daenerys arrives. I honestly don’t see the two of them ever ending up having a major conflict. But that will be the result of certain characters whose storyline the television show completely cut out.

Blackeyedlily

We have seasoned battle commander Jamie, Right hand man to the greatest tactician to ever exist (Stannis) in Davos. Experienced warriors in Jorah, grey worm, briene and the hound. And not a single one knows the kindergarten basics of how cavalry are supposed to be used in battle? How catapults are supposed to be behind walls? Literally the episode prior Jon says “we can’t beat them in a straight fight” and what is the first thing we do in this battle? Send out 10,000+ Dothraki to their deaths to try and beat them in a straight fight. GENIUS!

Mitch

Definitely fanservice > plot and sense. I was still entertained, but I definitely hoped things would end differently

Kelsey

why do you think i came all this way?

TheSauceGuy

Yeah, a little bird told me that Carter was in the spoiler chat in their Discord.

TheSauceGuy

Oooohhhhh so you can’t provide proof. Gotcha

Sean Carroll

hate to be that guy but they still had quite a bit of wildfire left based on episode 5

Myles

Please stop with this shit, there is no proof in that at all

Sean Carroll

this is so funny bc i never even saw a single second of that night king/jon/dragon fight in the air until now. They must have fixed it or something lol

Lydia

Yea it has been hinted many times that they're a bigger threat than the thrones. I just don't see Cersei being the last villain they have to deal with🤷🏽‍♀️ especially, in the books with what Euron is cooking👀

Amna 🍉

happy birthday!!

Lydia

Right! Especially when she took the valyrian steel out, I thought she was about to make some moves but as usual D&D fumbled

Amna 🍉

I feel like people who haven't read the books say that lol....bc show Jon, Dany, Tyrion, Sansa, Euron and Arya, actually a lot of characters are REALLY DIFFERENT to their books counterparts. Not to mention Daenerys is a dreamer and has visions all the time. And there's A LOT of magic in the books. I don't think show watchers know how different the books are. Dany is suppose to be antithesis to the Targaryens which is definitely not the route the show took. The ending will be different.

Amna 🍉

One of the directors said They did build arya up to with her whole journey training in bravos traveling with the hound losing so much of her family but one everyone really wanted John to do it cuz the build up doesn’t make any sense why bring him back from death to do nothing

Renaldo Allard

Thoughts about Jon are mixed on this one. On one hand I wish he’d done more because he and the knight king stared each other down too many times to not fight one on one. On the other hand, it makes sense that the knight king would avoid a one on one with Jon after he watched him kill that white with longclaw @ hardhome. Also makes sense that Jon would lay low, being that he’s too important to get killed by the army of the dead when he could be looking out for and pursuing the knight king and white walkers in order to wipe them all out at once. He may not have been the star of the fighting on the ground but the knight king would’ve gotten into winterfell way faster without him and Dany slowing him down. I think all of what he did before this episode to spread awareness and unite enemies is where he fulfilled the prophecy for the long night.

ShanB

A lot do people were disappointed because they build John up since the beginning having stare downs with the night king brought him back to life unite the north linked with danny just to barley do anything in the final battle but yell at a dragon yess epic scenes and battle to me it wasn’t bad but a lot of people were disappointed

Renaldo Allard

Gorge RR Martin said that he had written approximately 1,100 to 1,200 pages of the book and that roughly 400–500 pages remained to be written the last 2 books are Winds of Winter' and 'A Dream of Spring'. If he dies before completing the book someone will finish his work I think his friend forgot his name

Renaldo Allard

Agreed. As much as I would’ve loved them showing or hinting to us how Arya got to him , I didn’t need it because I do feel like it adds more purpose to us watching her skill set expand over the years. A lot of what she’s learned can be used to explain how she got to him.

ShanB

Goerge R Martin said if he dies and didn’t finish the book he has someone that will finish his work I think a family member or very close friend someone who can finish the story how he wants it

Renaldo Allard

Sesson 8. 9.9.

Mitch

Please. Enough…

Mitch

this could be any number of moments in the next 3 episodes 💀💀

Myles

I can't believe there's people that actually defend this.

Nanashi

Fucking clowns, hate their guts

Nanashi

I hate this episode for more reasons then I can adequately express. And while I enjoy watching GOT reactions, I typically don’t watch this episode. But I had to see the reaction from these guys. It is quite a spectacle on an initial viewing. As someone who is always bringing up the books, I am completely sure that the White Walkers, who in the books are generally referred to as the Others, will be a more bigger problem in the books and probably threaten much more of Westeros geographical.

Blackeyedlily

Are you kidding me this is so good.

Nanashi

And against a mindless blob of dead people too, mindlessly running in a straight line. There was like no tactics whatsoever, how about more shields and some flank action? And more dragon fire, A LOT MORE DRAGON FIRE.

Nanashi

Now you guys see why there is so much focus on the dagger in HOTD

David J

This episode was dark enough XD

Sweede TW

In Season 1 when Bran is learning from the Maester about the Houses, they get to the Greyjoy's and Theon butts in and says they are famous for their skill in archery. In this episode they are protecting Bran with their archery.

PST3

It’s really unfortunate that D&D rushed the series to end it. I’m sure at some point Arya spoke with Bran & Jon about the WWs & NK to learn as much as possible about them. Her skills while training to be a faceless man gave her the ability to do what she did. I guess we just have to use our imagination to fill in the blanks since D&D didn’t help much with that. I loved Arya’s story arc. She was my fav character from the beginning, so I’m kinda biased and was quite happy that she was the one to end the NK. If only G Martin would have finished the damn book!

Melczech

Kelsey

Ramin Djawadi cooked so hard this episode, he combined the unsullied and melissandra themes when she lit the trenches.. and the night king theme at the end is epic.

HaveAblast

I believe it has to do with the studio and stakeholders who gave the writers the red light and time limit to finish the series.. it is what it is, I still enjoy this episode and 8x5.

HaveAblast

Just flying around as ravens watching everything unfold lol imagine if the theory of him warging a dragon came true. Would have been so damn good, even if a little fan servicey lol

Zess

I didnt know about the showrunner beef with Kit, and that's so disappointing to hear that it actually manifested in the writing room. Petty lil dudes who just wanted that star wars bag and didnt even get it LOL

Zess

Yeah hes mentioned that a couple of times actually lol pretty wild point to end on not knowing what came after as it was airing.

Zess

I'm trying to guess the other anticlimatic show lol but I'm also scared to guess

Zess

Yall are so weird looking for that lol let them theorize in peace damn. They pay attention to things, it really is as simple as that. You act like their predictions are truly impossible to guess lol

Zess

More like few years of training, but your point still stands.

Zess

That makes so much more sense, it really felt like something was missing in the crypt scene when they were panicking. Like they had something in mind, but just didnt show it.

Zess

I get being hopeful, but I do think a lot of these elements you're seeing in the end is absolutely what GRRM had planned to do lol Now he would have gotten there a lot smoother with way better writing and dialogue, and hopefully keep our favorites still as smart characters (looking at you Jon and Tyrion s7-8 versions) But he did give the directors an idea of how it ends. They probably butchered what he had in mind, but I also think he's scared to now follow that path because of how poorly received it was. Now all he does is write reviews about adaptations instead of finishing what he started lol

Zess

Ohhh ok yes of course.. I hadn’t even thought of the possibility that someone hired him as backup to get Ned out of the picture. Very interesting. Haha yeah reading the theories and the book readers add book context or comparisons was so fun and helped with my post show depression lol.

JAY

Also shes a rogue, being sneaky is a part of her kit lol I can understand someone not wanting her to be the one to do it. But her being sneaky enough to get close to the night king is actually one of the more believable decisions made in these 2 seasons for me personally. She loves to do that lol

Zess

Theon died at home. 🥺

bob

I'm guessing that the ending was not "satisfactory"

Amna 🍉

All great points. I really wish they had kept a close relationship with George on the show throughout and I am looking forward to reading the books soon. I just also hope George finishes them at some point because I’m SO curious to see how he wraps it all up and how it will differ. Also I think not having the end and resolution will drive me a little crazy 😭

JAY

It sucks when they make the writers set up so obvious lol the difference in skill I suppose to make it believably authentic as opposed to "this needs to happen right now and I dont know how else to do it" lol

Zess

She got the dagger, it's a fair guess. Plus they have the benefit of making these guesses much later, with certain character popularity potentially influencing some theories by this point. The show also does want to push her up there as one of the best fighters. I can see how they get there with knowing the daggers significance already from HotD too. The Geks be paying attention! lol

Zess

I will also just say that my gripes with the final seasons are purely the pacing. There is something so anticlimactic about the overwhelming threat to the human race being eradicated with a single stab in just ONE episode

Kelsey

If Arya had joined Jon in a battle earlier in S5 or S7 against the Night King it would have been more relevant, she ends up killing someone she had zero interaction or concern about.

PST3

🧍‍♀️

bob

this may seem like a silly comment - but THANK YOU for reacting to the pinnacle of this episode the way that you did. I have seen SO many reactors talking over these important scenes with jokes, unnecessary banter, or too many "what if" comments so often that I normally just expect it. THANK YOU for giving us a raw, pure emotional reaction to this scene. Sometimes the best reactions are simply silence and pure facial expression

Kelsey

The books ending is just as bad that is why GRRM is having a hard time trying to finish it.

PST3

"I have to go now. 🙄" surprised y'all didn't laugh at this one. Bran is soooo funny. he did fuck all for the long night which makes it funnier.

bob

But with Dolby Vision you can brighten it well

PST3

oof sounds like we finished S8 lads LOL

Tim Moore

Oh gosh 😅 did you finish it? That lil' face. So heartbreaking lol

ShadowCat

Oh ho boy

Sean Carroll

Finish the show?

Sean Carroll

Oh noooooooooo lol did y'all finish it?

ShadowCat

Davos does nothing in the battle, then tries to act tough at the last minute against a key player. Jon had little impact in the battle against the threat he has been monitoring all series. Jon's actor Kit Harrington was angry with D & D 's approach.

PST3

Lol oh no

Amna 🍉

😞

Brig Andrus

Wow, I haven't watched this episode since it originally aired and I have so many feelings after watching it again. For being a 1.5 hour episode of non stop battle, it is pretty suspenseful and good (despite the darkness), but it could still be so much better. While this was great, I can only imagine how the actual final battle in the books will play out, and I anticipate it being so much more intense and fulfilling. I like how y'all said it's 'satisfactory', which I think is dead on. It's not epic, just satisfactory. But it all goes downhill from here lol

ShadowCat

What does Jack mean this is the last episode he saw? I thought he finished the whole thing like McCay 😭

thank u next

Someone finished the last episode

Tomas Wilson

🧐

Karlsefni

Wdym? The episode was Dark.

Studio Geck

Good lord I remember how dark this episode was on release LOL wth were the producers thinking

Tim Moore

Lmao bruh

Studio Geck

No Dark episode tonight?

Abogaymer

Night King doesn't even exist in the books to begin with. The Others are far more complex than "evil ice zombies" There is "The Night's King" A VERY different concept and one that has tons of narrative potential with Jon, sadly we will never get the books ending.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

I loved nearly the entire episode, its some gritty and raw having you on the edge of your seat. Except the trash ending. To this day years later I still ask why and how the hell she was the one to kill him of all people??

Nathan

100% agree. I think the Long Night should of been longer, like one battle and THE biggest threat to humanity is over? It would of been cool if the living were decimated at Winterfell and they had to retreat to Kings Landing over multiple episodes, meanwhile the Dead are just absolutely annihilating half of Westeros. The concept of Dread and the realisation that Great War is un-winnable by just killing the enemy, Also, GRRM always said that history is murky and that he never liked Good overcoming Evil through battle alone, and that every character is complex and grey (including the Night King). A lot of readers think that the ending to the Long Night is because of some kind of Pact with the White Walkers that had happened at the first Long Night. I like the idea that the Night King is some ancient Stark or something and there is some kind of purpose for his trek South after 1000s of years which is only resolved by an agreement or some ancient "Promise".

Sean Johnson

“I was a fooking legend in gin alley…. A FOOKING LEGEND

Sean Carroll

Let's not forget that the White Walkers have been a looming threat for over 8000 years in the GoT lore, from before the Age of Heroes and founding of most of the houses in the current era. The founder of the Starks literally sectioned off the north of the known world to keep them out, and designed Winterfell to shelter the North when they finally came for humanity. And they get defeated in a few hours by a rag tag collection of forces, who barely use the fortress, and a girl with a few months of assassin training with a dagger who just found out they exist a week before and had never even seen one of them until then.

Eddy

After game of throne would love to see you guys react to Severance 🙏

Pats

I know right gosh so disappointing

Studio Geck

It should have been the Helms deep or Gondor of GoT. A great siege against one of the strongest castles in Westeros with multiple layers of defence, each as strong as the last one, built to protect the north and shelter all the villagers of the nearby town and its own occupants, near indefinitely, with the White walkers in mind. Said to have been built by Brandon the builder, who built the Ice wall as well as many other famous structures in Westeros, then expanded and reinforced over the next 8000 years. It ended up kind of more of a backdrop.

Eddy

They studied at the Ruin Johnson school of "Subverting expectations = automatically genius" Regardless of if the subversion makes a molecule of sense lmao. It is good to see them follow in his footsteps and NOT make the Star Wars trilogy they were told they would get to make. Ah. Justice.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

She didn't surprise him though. He caught her by the throat. The writers have straight up admitted this was not planned ahead of time, they chose Arya because it was unexpected, not because it had an ounce of narrative logic.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

Step 1, use the fucking castle not stand outside in the worst possible battle lines arrangement in military history lmao.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

Why would it be remembered fondly when 8 seasons of build up let to out this wet fart lmfao.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

Yea after sitting with it you realize her character and story has literally nothing to do with the walkers, and the showrunners admit they literally only did it because it was "Unexpected" The Ruin Johnson school of thinking "Subverting expectations." Automatically equals good.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

King slayer of the mad king who loved to burn people alive and king slayer of the knight king who brought frozen death. It’s the perfect yin and yang and 1000x better than Arya being the one.

Mitch

Diana Rigg, the actress for Olenna has passed away, and the actors for the 3-eyed raven and Maester Aemond. Otherwise, I think thats it for 'main characters'

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Catapults out front makes me cringe out of my skeleton. If you did that in Total War. The game would tell you that you should probably learn basic tutorial of tactics lmao. Omg the fact they aren't ALREADY manning the walls and are in a panic to rush up there when the Wights cross the barrier has me wheezing. Babies first siege defense despite having the greatest military minds in the world still alive present.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

I think many of us were really hoping for a helms deep type battle, as especially in the books it builds up Winterfell to be this great fortress, a bastion in the north, and they just kind of sit everyone out front, then the undead breach the walls almost instantly.

Eddy

We have a super strong castle and catapults, if we hold the walls we have a great chance! - Nah lets assemble our troops outside in the open in the most ANTI-TACTICAL (TM) battle lines humanly possible to conceive lmao. Also lets charge our cavalry in a complete waste instead of using them to flank. You know, what cavalry exists for. Writers need to play 5 seconds of the tutorial of a Total War game plz.

The night is Dank and full of Memers

I think the issue is the wasted potential. It's entertaining to watch out of context, and I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying it. I think there's some great acting, music and set pieces. The issue is that in context this was supposed to be the finale. The moment every thing had being leading up to, which essentially made the Game of thrones nothing but a trivial matter. The thing the north had built into their very culture. The greatest stronghold of the north, vs the army set to wipe out humanity. The arrival of Winter. We should have got a Helm's Deep type battle. A great siege with them actually using the fortress. The Dothraki coming from behind in a heroic but doomed attempt to break the Siege. The unbreakable Unsullied defending the walls, with the Northern archers. The assault from within the crypts fought off by the wildlings, the heroic last stand of Theon opening the way for Arya, an epic dragon fight with Bran taking control of a dragon. Some revelation over the meaning behind the patterns that've made us think were significant from the start. And it was missing the unexpected ally coming in to save the moment, like maybe an army of the north from those who refused to go to Winterfell attacking from behind and just doing enough to allow those in the fortress to regroup. There were just so many missed opportunities, and in the end the greatest threat to all life in Westeros felt no more epic in scale than the battle of Blackwater, or the battle of the Bastards, and is just kind of done and over with halfway through the season so we can get back to Cersei and whatever the hell her plan is. It could have done with a little more set up too, but that's an issue with both season 7&8 just feeling a little rushed. As a bit of a history buff there were some annoyances too like some egregious armour physics, awful tactics and a complete misuse of a castle, but you get that with most movies.

Eddy

He said on the field(ground) not aerial

Leo

I think Jaime actually should have been the one to kill the Night king. The Azor Ahai prophecy for the Kingslayer would go so unbelievably hard.

Maari

Theon's 180 is legendary, I cried when he died

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Their approach to writing is so bad, they don’t think of the integrity of the story itself, just how they can make the show fit their whims. They even let their juvenile spite for Kit Harrington and some other actors impact the show.

ssj4rit

I do actually think this episode has a lot of good moments! Especially with the very little dialogue

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

Why Daenarys lands on the ground with Drogon there makes no sense to me.. I think the writers just needed her to be vulnerable so we could have a fitting sendoff for Jorah

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

I remember watching this episode standing up in front of the tv like my teams in the Super Bowl, partly from hype and partly from staring trying to figure out what I’m looking at

Zechree

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Sean Johnson

They all just guess arya

Marquist Simms

Before the series ended, there was a compelling theory that Bran was actually the Night King, trapped in the Night King's body for 8,000 years, waiting for the moment he could touch and warg back into his own body to break the original ritual. The theory suggests that Bran, using his greenseer abilities, traveled back in time to uncover the origins of the White Walkers to find a way to defeat them. Along the way, he influenced the past by warging into various historical figures, like Bran the Builder, who was said to have built the Wall. His journey took him further back, eventually to the first sacrifice of that man stabbed in the heart at the Weirwood tree by the Children of the Forest. During this ritual, Bran’s consciousness became unintentionally trapped, and his greenseer powers gave him the ability to raise the dead (warging the dead). The White Walkers were originally created by the Children to wipe out humanity (as they were at war) and as the ritual trapped him inside, Bran gradually lost his humanity over the millennia, ultimately becoming the Night King, or “The God of Death” (the Many-Faced God). The idea that, while in greensight, only minutes passed in Bran's present, but he was forced to experience 8,000 years in real-time for his consciousness, would have been cool to witness on-screen... I would have loved to see a storyline where the "nature of time is a circle" (as hinted with Hodor’s “Hold the Door” moment) played a significant role in the White Walker arc. Concepts like warging and time not being linear would have made for a deeper, more satisfying conclusion. The theory also says that Jon is the Prince Who Was Promised, and that he would be forced to kill his own brother Bran, to save the world—an ending that would have been both tragic and bittersweet.

Sean Johnson

Oh, I'm not complaining about them being older. I like that they are older than they are in the books

Jenny D

He still does heroic and difficult things, just not this one. And yeah, a 1v1 swordfight wouldn't be very interesting IMO. I would've rather had a group of survivors protecting Bran from wights and White Walkers, but there would've had to have been a competent defense in place to not be overwhelmed by wights right away.

TheSauceGuy

Karl 'Fookin' Tanner from Gin Alley should've killed the Night King before Arya.

TheSauceGuy

Done my joke now so changed it 🤣

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

THE EAGLES

TheSauceGuy

it definitely sounds funny out of context though

TheSauceGuy

Despite all errors committed so far, this episode had the potential to be legendary, yet it became a huge disappointment, and the start of the undeniable train wreck. I will forever hate it. ASOIAF is a masterpiece, hopefully one day it will be completed and a truly faithful remake will come.

Vicente Daie Pinilla

Least based Theon glazer

TheSauceGuy

Bran saw the end of GoT S8 and lost all energy

TheSauceGuy

oh here we go…

leah

small human kill big giant

TheSauceGuy

They foreshadowed it too much to where it wasn't exciting and while it's better than Arya doing it, I wouldn't enjoy it much unless it was executed in an interesting way. A simple 1v1 like in Hardhome would not have been interesting or engaging for me. I think the poetic aspects of having the Kingslayer do it would be interesting. Theon getting a backstab kill before Jon is about to be killed would be a fun little throwback to Howland Reed's death as well. I don't think a 1v1 is very interesting and doesn't make a ton of sense anyway. I would honestly take some random NPC soldier over what we got, it just has to be executed properly.

TheSauceGuy

that was sarcasm

TheSauceGuy

Wow, so triggered by a comment.😭 Lmao!!

Melczech

Night King should've slipped on a banana and fell on a dragonglass dagger. Bran smiles as he knew the banana wouldn't be spotted by the Night King due to his foresight.

TheSauceGuy

That's a poor argument as magic is inherent in their world, even if the show doesn't lean into it like the books do. I can't tell if you're trolling, but it simply doesn't make sense, especially because she decides to scream mid-jump and get caught anyway.

TheSauceGuy

I asked the same thing lmao.

TheSauceGuy

Jon would have been disappointing imo as they leaned way too far into Jon being the one to do it. I think Arya is disappointing too and that it's not as much about WHO does it, but how. I would've been fine with some random NPC soldier killing the Night King if it was done in an interesting way.

TheSauceGuy

Only gripe?????

You guys should have a post-GOT talk show about 2 weeks or a month after the season is over. After things sit with you is when your opinions really form about things. We were all caught up in the moment saying things like "i liked how Arya ended things", but after sitting with it...

I'm just gonna talk to him

TheSauceGuy

I'd agree with this. It's not the worst episode, but it's the one I'm most upset by ig, along with episode 5.

TheSauceGuy

There was supposed to be a 5 year time skip in the books but George didn't want to write in flashbacks and tons of dialogue explaining the past five years. Pretty much every major character that I can think of except for Theon is younger in the books. It's pretty typical for Hollywood to age up characters when adapting things from books like these.

TheSauceGuy

I'm not going back and forth. Y'all just finna yap amongst yourselves 😊

Ana

ye ye that Varys meme is indeed the best. Thats one of the reasons I mentioned the video

askyeyV

To the end discussion if the show did end here it would be remembered as great despite it's flaws a goofiness, unfortunately 4,5 and 6 exist

Euphemia Isobel

I'd imagine Jon will be more cold and calculated when he comes back. Due to him being ambitious in the books, this could cause him to do somewhat messed up things. Also, he will feel conflicted unlike in the show, especially when he learns of his Targaryen blood (even if he's just a Targaryen bastard in the books). What will he do when he learns this?

TheSauceGuy

Tell me where the setup for her killing him is apart from bran giving her a knife, which signals bran can see the future by the way

Sean Carroll

The plot armour in this episode was craaaaazy

Amna 🍉

Squinting so hard at this episode but nothing helps why was it so dark omg 😂 I get that it's supposed to make you feel like the characters but the audience still needs to see what's going on oml

Brittany (Ultraanimegirl4)

"Fun" lol, I agree though.

TheSauceGuy

That might be more of a writing thing, but I'd assume he has some sort of magical abilities that would help, or he just has foresight and knew he'd obtain a dragon.

TheSauceGuy

The dragon's name is Viserion, but I imagined the Night King riding Dany's brother Viserys and melting through the wall with the molten gold on his head.

TheSauceGuy

Yeah, I'm passionate about GoT, but I'm enjoying Dark way more than I ever could these later seasons of GoT.

TheSauceGuy

You seem smart enough to me lol. You should consider joining a Discord I made from Gek GoT/HotD fans; I'll give you my username for Discord if you're interested. We talk about other things there too, but GoT/HotD is the majority of it. We already have an Amna, but not an Enma lol.

TheSauceGuy

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY🎉🎉

Amna 🍉

I feel like Young Griff will get the third dragon. I also don't want Book Tyrion anywhere near Dany or a dragon lol

Amna 🍉

There is a good rewrite of this episode by a guy on Youtube for anyone that is interested. Might be cool for the Geks to watch after they finish the show. "Let's Rewrite the Battle of Winterfell [ Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 ]" on Youtube

Axel Jonsson

have a pitfall trap full of dragon glass spikes at the bottom surrounding Bran lmao

TheSauceGuy

‘Theon, you’re a good man” 😭

Mama Browsss

'Game of Thrones' showrunner David Benioff says they almost had the Hound or Brienne kill the Night King — but not Jon Snow "We didn't want it to be Jon because he's always saving the day" 🤡🤡🤡

Leo

Hmmmmm

TheSauceGuy

Should've been a kill-assist sort of thing hahaha; it doesn't have to be one person.

TheSauceGuy

Sansa actually uses that Valyrian steel to kill a white walker to save Gilly but they cut it out😔

Amna 🍉

Why would the House of the Undying have the face of a White Walker?

TheSauceGuy

I didn’t read the books but I know all about the Tyrion being part Targaryen theory and that was my absolute favorite theory! I wanted him, Jon and Dany to all ride dragons and kick ass together. If that happens in the books I will have to read them!

Mama Browsss

Let me go watch Haikyyu now to cleanse my soul.

Amna 🍉

The ending for the books will be different. The show has cut too many characters and arcs out for them to have the same ending. Also, magic, barely any in the show. Not even that, they also changed the characters a lot from their books counterparts, ESPECIALLY, Sansa, Jon and Dany. Like Sansa's whole arc was changed. Characters like Young Griff, Arianne Martell and Lady Stoneheart were not even included in the show when they're extremely important in the books.

Amna 🍉

Can't wait till Dany gets amnesia next episode

TheSauceGuy

really could have been good if they: 1. had strategy, all army behind walls, catapults behind always launching, no dothraki charge or unsollied throw away 2. plot armor reductions, more lost characters in the situations they showed being impossible

Brent Kilgore

I'm fairly certain Dany will not be the savior in the books. She might try to be, but I think she will fail.

TheSauceGuy

In S8E1, when Jon is at the Weirwood tree where Bran was sitting, and Arya sneaks up on him, he said 'How did you sneak up on me?'. Her growing up in Winterfell combined with the skills she's learned in the past 8 seasons is probably why she was the one to be able to get close to the night king. It could definitely still seem like a bit of an asspull, but I don't think it's as nonsensical as some people make it out to be. And the callback to that scene in season 1 is pretty nice.

Juu

I agree that Jon fulfilled it, but I also don't care too much about the prophecy. George likes prophecies to come true in unsuspecting and interesting ways. One example he gave was a man who was told he'd die if he ever went to a specific castle; he avoided the castle his whole life but ended up dying in front of a pub with the same castle on a sign in front of it.

TheSauceGuy

As someone who read the books first I still think this episode is incredible. There's a few moments that could have been done better/made more sense but start to finish this is incredibly enjoyable to watch in my opinion.

Juu

No, that would make sense! Most of the GoT battles are more chaotic and illogical. I found Rook's Rest from HotD to be better than most of the GoT battles in terms of seeming real (apart from the dragons ofc haha).

TheSauceGuy

That's somehow shorter than I thought it would be, but it must have been excruciating.

TheSauceGuy

Real, I'm glad they brought him back for HotD.

TheSauceGuy

I wouldn't want Theon to beat more than one White Walker and I'd rather he get injured and seemingly die, only to support whatever remaining characters are left fighting the White Walkers by killing the Night King. It's not perfect, but it's a throwback to the Howland Reed and Ned thing, except Theon would die after. I think the main issue is having the Night King in the first place creates this "big bad" that they have to beat. Even if the White Walkers have a leader, I don't think killing him should eliminate all of the dead lol. Bran's powers weren't used and you can tell they just didn't know what to do with him. The magical aspects of the story are what George struggles with most and D&D struggled with it far more.

TheSauceGuy

The entire story is. That's why he's my favorite! Hes really tryna say something humanly poignant.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

It’s all uphill from here 😈

1999

Yes, Sir Twenty Goodman! And the very irony in that is George himself LEFT tv script writing TO write novels, explicitly SO he could not have this problem. He finally thought he had the chance to work in television and have charge over those kinds of production problems, but was wayyy too late in a fixed game.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Also using the manga spelling despite (I'm assuming) not reading the manga. I will say that Arya killing him is incredibly silly, especially the way it's done. It's not interesting or cool to sneak attack the "God of Death" lmao. It doesn't make sense how she was even able to get to him, let alone not get her neck snapped.

TheSauceGuy

MacJordanT she has literally been training the ENTIRE show lol. From episode 1 until now. 11 years old to 18. From training with Syrio Forel (master swords man), to practicing everyday when she was with The Hound. Then she was trained by the deadliest and SNEAKIEST assasssin in the show, Jaqen H'ghar. Finally, breif training with Brienne. She SNEAKILY killed the entire Frey family in one night. I also wouldn't consider her a C+ student. She killed Waif who was Jaqen's number one student with far less training and experience, not to mention she had already been stabbed multiple times. Did you even watch the show lol With that being said it should have been Jon Snow that killed the Knight King.

Brett

Exactly, he literally calls them the Others; they are more sophisticated in the books

TheSauceGuy

wormhole

TheSauceGuy

Final boss Euron, greatest depicted actual irredeemable villain ever in time? DbDw could not have that.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

On other reaction channels I have seen comments that she jumped off of the castle wall to the Night King. The same way Waif jumped in 6X8 off the wall behind her. She could do it in the dark because she knew how to move from when she was blind. You do see the hair low in the wind on one of the Whitewalkers right before she jumps. I don’t know if that’s true that is just what other people said.

I❤️movies&tvshows

That time when I rewind 10 secs like 10 times to watch each Gek's reaction to the dragons torching the dead

Sean Johnson

I'm so dumb lol, I was thinking you were talking about a fanmade thing. Does Histories & Lore have many animated sequences though? I thought it was mostly still images.

TheSauceGuy

Ah right he's looking for the dragons to control!!!! But isn't the horn supposedly able to take down the wall? Why did I think that?

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

He is the tallest and most jacked.

Thicc Thanos

Mine was yesterday, celebrating today. Happy Birthday! Libra's rock 🤘🏾

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Histories & Lore? I can't tell who you're replying to my notifications only show me half of them.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I think George’s ending will be way too different. Because characters in the book now are so different. Theories on book go crazy. My favorite ones are Jon returning with white hair, Tyrion being part targaryen and like riding a dragon, etc There is also a lot of magic in the books

Ayaulym🇰🇿

Happy Birthday Nomaan. Party hard 🎉

Leo

Jack is favourite reactor among all these guys

Leo

I'd prefer Histories and Lore and then maybe the occasional video like R+L=J, theory videos, book comparisons, and funny ones like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJptaHqta1Q

TheSauceGuy

Also "Ramsay Bolton: Ultimate Kindest Man of Westeros" haha. The Varys coughing meme is probably the best way I can describe my feels for the later seasons.

TheSauceGuy

They make them feel epic while also not being at all logical or realistic, which is impressive tbh. I guess most of the film/tv industry does this though, it's more for spectacle.

TheSauceGuy

Yeah, undead Viserion is not Vermithor lol.

TheSauceGuy

Wow I kept wondering why Jaime would not rename the sword, but this comment made me realize it was probably a direct nod towards his journey with Lady Stoneheart, as well as Brienne's, ultimately to avenge, like you pointed out.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Happy birthday Queen! ❤️

Daenerys Targaryen

Guerilla marketing for this new episode was it was gonna left the Helm’s Deep in the dust. It turned out they couldn’t even shoot a proper night battle anymore (which they could do in season 2).

kaan

because tv show

TheSauceGuy

If only she'd given Jaqen the Night King's name way back when lmao.

TheSauceGuy

Anyways thanks for this upload it’s my birthday so I had to get a ton of GOT funko pops, including Jon on Rhaegal, Dany on Drogon and Night King on Icy Viserion. They’re the coolest funko pops everrrrr

Nomaan

Euron already has his own horn that can bend dragons to his will in the books too lmao. He's also rocking that Valyrian steel armor. Why couldn't they have written Euron to be more menacing in the show?

TheSauceGuy

George 100% would've worked with them and both he and HBO wanted to expand the show. The main issue is the rushing and cuts, one of which is already being seen in HotD, albeit far less significant so far. TBH, I think the Hollywood environment and human error make it difficult to produce these sorts of series.

TheSauceGuy

This is the main problem with season 8, it is sooo rushed. The Final battle against the whites in one episode, and you will see what they do with the remaining episodes.. Season 8 could have been easily stretched to 3 seasons, but they wanted to rush the greatest series ever to the finish line for no good reason.

Mahti

Tbf the music and some of the scenes were better than I remembered. But still the way Arya killed the night king, the main antagonist of the series, was stupid. Jon did nothing much, sadly, this episode. I'd rather have Jon kill the night king. I was dissapointed that this battle was worse than the battle for the wall against wildlings. Anyway we’re very close to witnessing the biggest flop🫢 I’m so excited to see the geks reaction and hear their opinions about it P.S. The night kings death was just as unticlimitic like the death of anothe antogonist of a VERY popular show (the only difference is that he got stabbed in the back lmao). Both of them seemed immortal just to be taken out in the lamest way getting outsmarted by the character that they could easily one shot. iykyk👀

Ayaulym🇰🇿

see THIS critique of that scene is one that i can accept. thank you Mitch. you actually point out the reason why (and without being over-bearing i might add)

Seth Aasland

😂😂😂😂😂

Leo

I want to say what I would’ve wished to happen but i can’t cos it’s kinda spoilery for future episodes

Nomaan

is it though? you can’t think of literally *any* other scene from *any* other series? okay bub. the username checks out

Seth Aasland

Same though 😭 let's disassociate and dream of spring together

creeper doodle

In LFs voice "Please, I beg youuu." 🙏🏾

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I would've been 12 lol

TheSauceGuy

I would've rather had Littlefinger himself kill the Night King

TheSauceGuy

Yep, Cannon once again acting like he doesn't know exactly whats going to happen. Yikes.

Patrick

Anyone who is remotely stealthy could've killed him then, or before he even got to Winterfell.

TheSauceGuy

tbf it did snow a little bit the episode before this one 🤓 but fr that shit was SO LAMEEE!! the entire show being the build up to it all ending in ONE EPISODE BE FR

leah

one episode haha

TheSauceGuy

Is Sean Glidus is my question

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Me when I lie

Leo

my only major gripe with this entire episode (other than it being INCREDIBLY dark like hello???) is the fact that the entire show everyone was always like “winter is coming” and it’s worrisome! you’re supposed to be concerned about it! and yeah we lost a couple great characters and it was a huge battle but the fact that “winter” was over in the span of like two episodes is fucking crazy 😭😭

leah

Oh my gosh, Carter, the Star Wars sequel idea you mentioned would've been sick lol. Maul is one of my favorite characters in the series, mostly because of Clone Wars, but it could've been so much more interesting than ending his story through Rebels.

TheSauceGuy

The problem with a lot of villains is they are too full of themselves. They think they're invincible, so they make stupid calls because they don't think they can be beaten. It's a common trope across ALL media. The stronger they are, the easier they die sometimes. The walkers didn't think there was any way they lose at that point. They were face to face with the Three Eyed Raven. The little breeze of wind that blows past one of them as the Night King was about to kill Bran is such a cool shot though because Arya just blows past them since they are not on guard at all. And we know how sneaky she is, not making any noise when she walks around and shit. The way that Jorah and Theon went out was like the best way they can.

Dakota

They literally show Maise jumping off a thing in the behind the scenes. Idr what it's called, but there was absolutely zero story logic they planned to use about it. Plus why was she screaming? *Is a trained assassin* *Screams as she comes up on her target*

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Perfect rating for it.

GreetswithJudgement

yeagerist (derogatory)

leah

Lyanna mormont scene is cringest scene I have ever seen

Leo

agreed tbh, arya my goat

leah

This episode cooks, and it is really good, visual, music, and the outplay of the whole battle was satisfying

Freja Holmberg

I focus all my energy towards the book canon and dream of all that is promised haha

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Remind me what that abbreviation stands for lol?

TheSauceGuy

Come on guys, it was Arya's destiny all along. The reason she trained all those years, to be the stealth, silent, deadly killer of the "God of Death".... Not Today! The slide of hand. It was epic and she's my GOAT!

Melczech

Ain’t that the truth

GreetswithJudgement

😂😂😂

Leo

SOO many great things about this episode. The cinematography, beautiful dragon scenes, the soundtrack, some of the best moments and character deaths ( my GOATS are gone, RIP) 40/60 The execution of the battle though could have gone way better, that’s obvious. When I first saw this I thought it was the most epic thing ever. The second time I’m like, still good, should have been better. Anyway, cheers to the next 3! 😂

GreetswithJudgement

🤡🤡🤡

Leo

Makes me tear up the way Jorah gets stabbed through the heart and still stands up to defend Danny.. so badass

HaveAblast

The thing about me is there's always layers to what I'm saying lol. That I often can't always explain because it's hard in textual conversation or possible spoiling about things I have no idea if people want to hear.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Arya killing the killing was the worst thing happened to both GOT,HOTD

Leo

The H&L animation was perfection. Whoever did that can just do it.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Jack saying Dany shouldn’t have been in the field was hilarious. And who would’ve rode Drogon and helped kill the wights?😭 without her and Drogon they’d be wiped out pretty quickly

Nomaan

Cannon, I think George could finish The Winds of Winter, but I'm not hopeful for A Dream of Spring. Hopefully, TWoW ends in a satisfying place in case ADoS doesn't get released. Brig, if the books get finished, an adaption could be possible, but George probably wouldn't be around for all of it. I'd take an animated series with good animation if a live-action one wasn't possible. If you're talking about moving pieces, we could've at least seen a glimpse of the Umbers getting taken out. The best way to solve things would be to add more pieces to the board and expand the series rather than rushing to end it. Many regions and characters from the books could have contributed to the plot, but instead, these regions did nothing and the characters were removed. Bran's journey did absolutely nothing to help in this battle either, all he did was act as bait. He should've played a large role in defeating the Others and the Night King shouldn't have been created in the first place. I think describing it as "Marvely" is a pretty accurate assessment; it could be much worse, but it doesn't feel like GoT.

TheSauceGuy

Why’d the night king even show up to battle, as long as he’s far away or hidden there’s no way he can be beaten, he could literally outlive all these characters.

ssj4rit

Well you are watching a show where dragon exist, smoke demon, zombie etc. but somehow its impossible for you to believe that arya was unnoticed because of her slick moves? Ol

Anthony Rodriguez

The show REALLYYYY goes to crap after this I’m afraid.

Nomaan

this is where GOT officially lost me lol i was trying to keep an open mind since season 7 but this episode was too absurd. only good things was the score & possibly the cinematography if they didn’t make the episode ridiculously dark. as for arya killing the night king, eh. i’ve made my peace with that years ago so i’m tired of dwelling on it. it was shit. idk it’s a mess.

milfnyra mai

Same could be said for a certain future episode 😭😭

Nomaan

I heard something about a min battle from the first charge till when they returned. I seen fan made art of the offscreen battle but I am not sure its cannon

Reeker

At least have the decency to not throw shade towards the woman fighting upstairs while you’re hiding in the crypt.

MacJordanT

If there is one hill I will commit seppuku on it is the argument that George not finishing is the problem.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I’m glad u clarified that “in the show” cos the prophecy is so much more than just “uniting the realm” or whatever crap the show made up. Erasing the key aspects of bringing back dragons and the comet being a part of the prophecy just so people don’t think it’s Dany was so cringe by the writers

Nomaan

The Geks even said they thought more main characters were going to die like the Starks or Lannisters. Those are side characters not main...

Alex

Sean cooking today??

MacJordanT

Sansa in the crypt with the ONLY weapon against wights: Imma just hide and keep this to myself.

MacJordanT

this only realeased 5 years ago stop saying a decade...

Alex

RIP theon 😞💔

emma.bean

When was this sneaky training? When she was chasing cats in King’s Landing? Cuz I didn’t see it in Braavos. All we saw in Braavos was that Arya was BECOMING proficient enough with a spear to spar with the waif. And she was still sloppy to get snuck up on and stabbed (fatally if the show made sense). Based on what we saw there, she’s a C+ student of the Faceless Men at best. Fast forward to Season 7 and she’s an expert sword and dagger user (once again did not see any sword or dagger training in Braavos) who can match BRIENNE?

MacJordanT

This episode had some incredible moments despite its flaws. Jorah fighting to his last breath until his queen was safe always breaks my heart. And Theon’s redemption. Sadly, this is where it ends. Everything else from here is just..there are no words.

Dani G

I waited 6 years for D&D to fuck this thing up… fuck this show 🤣🤣 Arya the prince 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

MateoP

You guys are killing me with the lack of understanding just how much from the books was kept out of the show. There are so many more answers or at least theories towards foreshadowing for answers. It's part of why George is having trouble finishing too I think, because if people have already guessed the outcomes of this foreshadowing it's not going to be as thrilling to write these reveals. Him not finishing yet bears nothing on the lack of answers in the show. It was there to be able to flesh out but they literally kicked him off the project. A tv writer, so they could write all on their own, rush, and get done. This is not on George, not even close. If they had the source material they would still have been done adapting after the red wedding, wanting to wrap up too quickly, using only first draft scripts they never ran by George. George is already complaining about HotD leaving out key characters. You can't be baffled the show didn't give answers to things only partially established. They literally could not answer things because they NEVER included all the necessary details by not caring enough about the project.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I see. I didn't realize that. Obviously it's up to him, but I thinks it's worth watching

Jenny D

Idk if you want book stuff, but Jack, the horn of winter that Sam found in the show, is heavily theorized and foreshadowed to have something to do with taking down the wall. It's also theorized that Euron is aware of and looking for it.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Ah yes my favorite MAIN characters Dolourous Edd and Lynna Mormont!

Mitch

Why even have a battle? If aryas such a genius assassin stealth god why not just send her alone to kill the knight king? She already snuck past all of his generals and thousands of whites in this episode so why not?

Mitch

Jorah, Lady Lyana, Edd, Melisandre???

Bobby Johnson

Arya the Prince Who Was Promised🤡🤡🤡

Nomaan

Frrrr😭😭

Afra

The theories I like most are the ones from book facts. I can't help but dismiss any from show facts lol because well it's not faithful, and George himself says it will be different in that way where it's like how many children does Catherine O' Hara have, different numbers from film to book. So which one is real???

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

All of the main characters were fighting at the end and none of them died too many baits. The worst part is none of them fought any white walkers, the White Walkers did nothing! The only time we've seen a white walker fight was Hardhome and Beyond the Wall, both times against John, thats IT! Btw White Walkers are the lietenates of the dead army and the Whites are the cannon fodder.

Alex

These are just my opinions and I'd be curious to see what people agree and disagree on. I might add to this later if I think of other things. Positives: - Visuals - Music (Ramin Djawadi is the GOAT) - Sense of chaos - Overall comradery was nice to see - Literally anything with Theon - Theon's sacrifice - Jorah's sacrifice - The Hound showing fear again with all of the fire - Beric, the ultimate light source in the episode - Unsullied finally get portrayed how they should have been - Melisendre lighting the swords and trench + her death Negatives: - Jon doesn't get close to the Night King. I think a fight with Jon and many other main characters against the White Walkers would be great, but most of them die doing this and as Jon is about to be killed, an injured Theon or Kingslayer saves him and dies from previous injuries. - Arya kills the Night King in the simplest of ways purely to subvert expectations - The part Arya plays in the story doesn't feel like it belongs - Rhaegal gets injured and we don't see what happens after, he just vanishes - Bran does nothing and his power and journey are mostly irrelevant - Dothraki charging in against the undead - Catapults and trebuchets were built outside of the wall - Archers sitting and doing nothing after the trench is lit - It is silent inside Winterfell when Arya is sneaking around despite a war going on outside - Hiding the women, children, and elderly in the crypts - HUGE plot armor for most of the main characters - Not enough participation from other parts of the realm - Ghost should've been somewhere else (the crypts would've been cool, but I stole this from Cannon)

TheSauceGuy

Because he is a faceless man hired assassin, Littlefinger would know about them having ancestors from Braavos. He was hired. They can be hired from anywhere in the world, by anyone who has the means to, to submit deaths to the red god.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

The writers having Dany just stay on the ground and let Drogon get engulfed by wights and having Jon scream at a dragon will never fail to make me laugh 😭

Nomaan

I seriously rewound about 5x the first time to see if I missed something. But ... to answer all these questions, people really only have to look at the "inside the episodes" and vids on how they shot the scenes to get the real answers, which lie outside the show.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

The reason the Night King caught Arya is because she was screaming as she jumped out at him haha. This is by far the worst part of the episode as it solves the entire conflict of the North by having Arya be sneaky and jump at him. He killed Theon so fast but just stared at Arya instead of snapping her neck lol. It was done purely to subvert expectations. The Night King doesn't even exist in the books so they're going to have to find another solution to dealing with the Others. I imagine Stannis could still be alive by this point and he and his host will defend Winterfell; he'll burn Shireen in a last-ditch effort to hold them off but ultimately fail. Winterfell falls to winter and Stannis gets a more satisfying ending. I imagine there will be a more combined effort in the books as well, at least if the force is as large as it is in the show. I'd imagine a battlefield victory will not be what defeats the Others though, it'll be something magic. This is under the assumption the books even get finished.

TheSauceGuy

Also he minored in history and actually wants to subvert constructs like "othering" among species and societies.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I think the only reason we're not getting it is bc GRRM still wants to keep some things surrounding it a mystery

Amna 🍉

It worked because D&D wanted it and not because it made sense

SirCatelot

As stupid as some of the writing decisions were, Game of Thrones is so unbelievably good at making epic battles feel epic. Watching this in a dark room with the music up is such a peak experience, even with poor writing. Solid 6/10 episode based purely on music/visuals/production

Tokyo Ghoul Supremacist

Episode itself wasnt that bad, except some things it was okay. Problem is they had 7-8 seasons of the buildup just to end all of it in a single battle with the last second saving moment by some sneak attack. also it's off topic Ig but after GoT I would love to see you react to "GoT devoid of logic", it has a few episodes but it's hilarious af. It also gives a new light on certain aspect of the show

askyeyV

when you guys finish the show pls do the R+L=J video and history & lore. feed us for another month lol

Hayley

No but seriously where did Arya jump from 😭 I tried to pause when the frame was above the scene and there was either undead or trees behind her. Although at a questionable distance lmao

A_Daddy Daichi

Mitch, I mean she was simply just reminding Arya what she said back then

A_Daddy Daichi

the spinoff i would die for is robert's rebellion!!! young robert & ned, lyanna & rhaegar, i mean come on

Hayley

Yep. It came out the very next morning after we all watched Arya kill the Night King. We were on cloud 9 for the rest of the year in the fantasy/comic/manga realm. Then 2020 happened

Lexi Browning

Um, actually it was Gollum who saved the day. Frodo literally repeated the folly of Isildur, and it was Gollum who saved Frodo - albeit not by design - and went into the fires of Mt Doom with the Ring.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

I'd have him still die from his injuries after killing the Night King.

TheSauceGuy

Yeaaa but them making a clear choice from the very beginning also kind of ruined it tbh. Bc one thing I was not expecting was Jon to be a side character in the books. They gave Jon too much importance from the very beginning when they should've built up how important he's becoming. I'm not sure if that made sense lol 😭 and then again, show watchers will never understand how important Dany is bc most of it is erased from the show. Like the fact that she already knows that there's a bigger threat beside the throne and the fact that she saw rhaegar in the house of the undying in the books, is so crazy they never included it in the show.

Amna 🍉

Whatever your opinion is about the writing, we gotta give credit to everyone else that worked on this masterpiece. The cinematographers, production designers, actors, all the post people, editing, music, sfx... all of them, they fucking cooked this episode.

HaveAblast

Yeah I guess it sucks that the episode "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" was all "fan service" but they couldn't give Jon the fan service in this episode...

NoneOfYourBeeswax

Jon's "entire life's purpose" was never about him killing the Night King. Not once does he ever express that ambition. His life's purpose since being on the Wall was to convince various warring factions that they needed to form a single alliance against the Night King. He literally said this countless times, to everyone he met. His purpose had thus been fulfilled before the battle even started.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

Just think about this: George R.R. Martin's author and literary aspiration are J.R.R. Tolkein and LotR .... but THIS is the end battle????????? Something to chew 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Welp we're finally here. This episode wasn't too bad. I liked it a lot when it first aired. The first 3 episodes of this season are good. Also I have no problem with Arya killing the night king. It was set up for a while. All though it would of been sick if her and Jon fought together

Ana

Yea I thought the lynna scene was super cringe and forced, like the giant kills every other person instantly with his weapon but he decided to pick up lynna and slowly crush her for some reason and then hold her right in front of his face for umm hmmmm idk.

Mitch

This is Game of Thrones; the Valyrian dagger is nothing special. The prophecy on the dagger was entirely retconned for House of the Dragon to trade on the success of GoT.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

They didn’t even need any army to begin with.They might as well just put bran out in the open outside of winterfell and have Arya hide under sum leaves to sneak the night king at the last second.

Mitch

well it did

Anthony Rodriguez

brig got spoiled on what happens the next few eps so i wouldn't be surprised if he did tap out

engraved

I'm still going with Jorah the Andal. He also gets my vote for most emotional death scene. Hell, even Drogon was crying!

NoneOfYourBeeswax

And in the og scene she says”brown eyes blue eyes and green eyes” where as in this ep they retconned it to make it seem like she always empathized the “blue eyes” point

Mitch

Same!! I honestly watch it now and just appreciate all that. It’s still one of my favorite shows!!

Jessica

Damn! Never thought I'd be upvoting a Sean comment! :D But you're bang on point with this one.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

fr. since i made my peace with the story years ago, the one thing i make sure to appreciate on rewatches is how hard the actors & producers worked to bring the show together, i cant imagine how hard this episode was to film

engraved

Absolutely nothing wrong with that exchange. Jon was reminding Dany that their job was to protect Bran from the Knight King, and Dany, having seen the Army of the Dead decimating her Dothraki, was intimating that they needed to get into the game right there and then.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

Idk what to tell you. I liked it for Arya specifically 🤷🏾‍♀️

A_Daddy Daichi

Sean… now i’m exhausted. i’m TIRED. put. it. to. rest.

Seth Aasland

Changing your voice and demeanor is not the same as flying 30 feet thru the air

Mitch

Imagine this: Theon charges the Night King, the generals step in. He takes out general after general, all that winterfell Ned stark training paying off. As he takes out generals, the hoards that surround all our other characters (who lowkey should be dead) start to drop. The music swells THEN theon goes for the night king and dies. With most generals gone, Arya has a clear path for the night king. That would solve a good chunk of issues the end of this episode had. I LOVED the Theon scene but they could have still given him a tad more there without changing too much. Fixing Bran and Jon isnt hard either. Jon just had to actually try more. It wouldnt have taken anything for them to have Jon climb or wrestle or slash at that undead dragon. he doesnt need to win, he just needs to be more active. Bran just sitting there didnt need to be so simple too. Why not have his ravens all swarm the generals and night king at the end, they dont have to do anything just a distraction. Just A MOMENT. It doesnt completely fix the show but it def would fix those issues I believe.

jblakk

through it all, the one thing i don't think anyone can critique is the fkn incredible work on the music, the way yall were completely speechless throughout the sequence at the end shows how impactful the music was. ramin djawadi the real GOAT here

engraved

I'm optimistic we'll get TWOW and ADOS someday. Then we can forget all about this shit and be happy again.

creeper doodle

Heavily dissociating and putting all my feels into multitasking is the only way I can make it through. There is no universe where that changes.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

yeah i think D&D just made a clear choice here it was gonna be Jon in their story.... but then HOTD kind of flipped the script on them and made it seem like dany was the one which i thought was an interesting choice... haha they keeping the argument alive and it will thrive until george finishes them books.

JAY

*Turns it on blast, and dissociates, while Ramin cooks hardest yet*

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Massive credits to the production team and actors. This episode was filmed over 55 night shoots for more than 11 weeks🙏🏼

Jessica

Aria didn’t even know about the night king until like yesterday

Kneegrow

I’m not defending the writing; I’m pointing out that he is wrong. Also, how is changing your voice, face, demeanor, and everything about yourself NOT supernatural? The bandwagon hate boner you all have is pretty sad. You can praise something and be critical of something in the same breath.

Josh

I’m going to make a very long comment tomorrow to show all the issues with this episode. I invite you to respond to it and see what you think of my complaints

Sean Carroll

The smartest and most experienced military minds alive came up with the dumbest strategy to defend Winterfell. Maybe the writers should of talked to some historians so they don’t put the arty in front of the army use the cavalry in a stupid charge and put trenches behind the infantry.

Matthew Jackson

also wait.. i have not heard this.. why would jaqen want to kill Ned???

JAY

I wasn’t gonna comment lol but it’s been so long since I’ve watched this episode. I agree with cannon most of this episode is really good. I really liked Jorah, all the Arya scenes, as well as hound/arya/beric scenes and Theon with the most amazing arc making me cry every single time 🥹 some great performances!! But I mean my man Jon was robbed of that kill. Not even a 1v1 bro? The prince that was promised? the feeling after was just a “that’s it? “ the fact they built up this arc for so long and Jon being such a big part of it and then have him only yell at a dragon😭 got some mixed emotions. To end on a good note: Ramin is the hero with that soundtrack 🥇

Jessica

no totally agree... for me the fan theories and lore diving and speculation definitely is probably def a coping mechanism lol. im not saying any of this is right or true, i just love reading them and find it makes things more interesting for me to dig into the behind the scenes stuff and find potential meanings or twists, even if D&D didnt bother doing the same.

JAY

“Dragons fight” YAY 10/10 EP basically what you’re saying

Sean Carroll

Imagine him still holding the door undead 😭

py

The blue eyes thing makes me want to vomit. It’s garbage foreshadowing that could relate to any person with blue eyes.

Sean Carroll

I try my best not to be one of those pretentious people nitpicking every scene and I always try to give this show the benefit of the doubt. This is the last episode that I could give any charitably to. The next 3 are absolute dog water

GB3

An undead Hodor would be so cool, but sad.

TheSauceGuy

Yet visually it was the most epic ever and musically Ramin Djarwadi was on fire. In fact while the writers were getting further in decline, every other department was on top form. Such a shame D&D let the side down so badly.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

The theory about why he was in the dungeons was to kill Ned on the way to the wall if LF couldn't convince Joffrey to behead him.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

I get what you're saying about Jon being the ptwp but they never showed us Dany being a dreamer, having visions nor her arguably being the most magical character. They definitely tried to make her character seem not as important

Amna 🍉

Retconning, the lot of it. Jaqen is 100% not Syrio. Those theories are copes, if anything. But I completely understand if that's what people want to use as justification.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Jon screaming at the dragon was so goofy

Amna 🍉

I couldn't see shit😂

Tamara Manley

last one, and probably most controversial one.. i hate the "if jon is the prince that was promised why didnt he kill the night king".... when has killing the night king ever been part of the prophecy? i thought the only things we have heard were about uniting the realm against the the walkers. jon literally did that. none of these people are here together in winterfell if not for jon... especially not dany and the dragons. he fulfilled the prophecy as far as we know it no? imo jon is clearly the prince that was promised WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE SHOW. im sure there are arguments to be made in the books but here, i just think it is so clearly him. another interesting angle on this is... jon is the one who sets arya on her path at the very beginning.. if he never gives her needle, she never meets syrio and isnt in her dancing lessons when the lannisters move against them, she never meets beric or has her time with the hound or goes to bravos... she doesnt become who she needs to be to ultimately kill the night king. (and before you say it yes i already admitted they didnt do a great job of showing us what exactly she learned along the journey or how the faceless men helped her, but i think if you take the stance that the lessons were not meant to be obvious and jaqen taught her lessons in his stealthy way, and becoming no one was more about stripping and rebuilding ego than actually ever joining them, then it is more interesting.) Jon set it all in motion, he united the realm, he is my prince that was promised (IN THE SHOW).

JAY

“What we just saw was essentially the end of the Dothraki” I’ll hold you to that quote dumb and dumber

Sean Carroll

For a second I was confused. Lol. But I guess you mean in the book since he's dead there still. Not sure what George plans on doing with that if he ever writes the last two books! I honestly think he's just afraid it won't satisfy people.

Jenny D

The “and blue eyes” was sick though. I think they could’ve had her help Jon do it

A_Daddy Daichi

I mean what was Sansa suppose to do💀

Amna 🍉

I would say for me this is the most disappointing episode whereas my worst episode is the last one

Sean Carroll

I'm dying to know what Jon will come back to life as😭

Amna 🍉

I read a fan theory that Arya actually did become one of the white walkers and that’s why they didn’t notice her until she took the face off to attack the knight king.

Jv1300

Nonexistent except for in a brief flashback, apparently, but in books, he's probably going to be similar to Sam as far as having Intel on The Others.

RARE UNSULLIED SWORD SIGHTING 38:32

TheSauceGuy

Oh shit aot came out on the same week, man I wish I knew about it back then

Sean Carroll

Don’t get me wrong, I was very hype when Arya killed the Night King. Although her arc was spotty with her training, I love her as an assassin so I can see her being the one to do it. Her kill was epic but I still would have loved if it was Jon. The whole show, the dead and the Night King were Jon’s main priority. Idc if it would’ve been too obvious, that should have been Jon’s kill. IMO

A_Daddy Daichi

Theon killing the night king would have disappointed me, him dying after bran gave him the words he always wanted and needed to hear was the perfect send off to his character. Best character in got hands down

Sean Carroll

1st time watching I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And I loved all the war scenes. Had some complaints on who killed who or who else should have died or shouldn’t have but that’s it all the evidence I need. It was good loved the cinematography and the music scores and just watched it again just now and felt the same way. Even with all your evidence in the world I would never say this episode was below a 7.5. So yea continue on Sir.

Paperview007

If he could freeze the surface of water, why did he and his undead wait for the lake to freeze on its own for half the episode then when they surrounded Jon and his group? Did you pay attention at all?

Mysterious Figure

If you haven't, do it, if you have, watch the scene again.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

It has nothing to do with favouritism, if I wanted my favourite character to kill him it would be Theon but that wouldn’t make sense to his story. Jon killing Cersei would have no catharsis either as that isn’t related to his story. Jon for 8 seasons has been built up as the guy to defeat the white walkers and his multiple stand offs with the night king highlight this eventual fight. Arya only just found out about the night king and has no story ties to him so her getting the kill provides no catharsis for 8 seasons worth of buildup

Sean Carroll

Seen the movie?

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

“They kinda forgot” about howland reed

Sean Carroll

First time agreeing with sean what is happening

Afra

cannon on the season 8 finale: You know what? that was actually good! I thoroughly enjoyed it. was it amazing? no, but it was pretty good. the comments made it seem like…

JJ

I'm just sad they won't REALLY know why a Stark must always be in Winterfell.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Nah bro you don’t understand, it’s way cooler to have Arya drop the knife and kill him, god that was so cool bro wasn’t it?

Sean Carroll

That was cringe but ok

Afra

Princess Leia killing the emperor even though it was anakins destiny is basically what we got here You could also throw Rey in killing the emperor which is even worse

Sean Carroll

this actually released a week after endgame Cannon lol

Alex

Awful conclusion to 7 seasons of build up, so much for the true threat that can't be stopped by the kings of Westeros and all their armies

Azmaing1

I’m coming with because why would you do that

A_Daddy Daichi

I beg you to provide supporting evidence to justify giving this 2/10 episode an 8/10

Sean Carroll

Mckay's face every time the crypt is mentioned or shown 😂

TheSauceGuy

Nah bro he got to yell at a dragon, how cool is that, that’s all I ever wanted from this show, Jon yelling at a dragon

Sean Carroll

I also dont understand peoples anger about arya being the one to kill the knight king.. . for me it makes sense that it was kind of her whole training arc was meant to lead her to that moment. now, yes, i can admit they should have handled her training arc in a much better way so that it made more sense, but the overall idea that this was her purpose is compelling. especially when you factor in fan theories that make it more compelling. like, one of my personal favorites, that syrio was actually jaqen wearing a face and he never died. he was sent by the lord of light to guide and protect arya. because why else would a faceless man & unreal assassin find himself in the dungeons without being able to escape. there is an interesting dvd exclusive lore video about the many faced god https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaZA6ik2ESk that essentially explains that the faceless men serve the lord of light who is one and the same as the many faced god. these people's purposes are alll more interconnected than youd think and it seems they are all being led by the same god. I also like that they had melisandre sort of prophecied aryas purpose early on, and the reveal that beric's unknown purpose all this time was to save her. anyway, there are sooo many fun fan theories and lore for you guys to dig into when you finish the show. i just think this general idea for arya over the course of the show as a whole is really cool and would have made perfect sense, they just didnt handle it as well as they could have unfortunately.

JAY

Jaime and Brienne fighting back-to-back on the ramparts with Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper, the two halves of Ice, to defend Winterfell will never not get me.

Lolilie

I think you guys let the bad comments get in your head and start every episode expecting the worse, you just want to see what people are so pissed about most of the time instead of enjoying the show. Yes the last few episodes are terrible but the scenes still good. Any episode when you get to see the dragons fight is a great episode for me. I gave up on humanity and live to watch the dragons. I'm only sad that the dragons die. I'm only here for Drogon, he can do no wrong. He can kill everyone and still be amazing in my eyes.

Dreamer

Her killing the giant is 1. Totally unfeasible given he would have just crushed her if this was realistic 2. Dumb and dumbers decision to insert girl power nonsense that doesn’t make sense

Sean Carroll

Got me in the first half not gonna lie. I was about to say bran just sat there sleeping the entire episode, what a great role haha

Sean Carroll

The episode had some awesome shots and had some great music and moments, but the battle itself was a complete mess. I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I just need to get it out of my system. We’re talking about the greatest army in Westeros, led by some of the best commanders and strategists, and yet they devised such a flawed plan: 1. They built a single layer of trenches instead of a more robust defense, like having more layers of trenches that should've been already set on fire, putting traps and other defenses in between each layer. They could also have placed elevated platforms for archers and crossbowmen to rain down fire and use the elevation as a warning system. Make choke points and have some forces hiding behind these layers to deal with breaches. 2. They placed the trebuchets in the front lines, making them vulnerable, instead of positioning them behind fortified defenses where they could be better protected while still providing support.. 3. They sent their strongest warriors to the front without adequate support, leaving them exposed to overwhelming numbers and cutting them off from crucial backup. 4. They made Bran the bait but failed to properly utilize him or have anyone waiting to ambush the Night King if he showed up. 5. They didn’t take full advantage of Winterfell's defenses, despite it being one of the most fortified castles in the North. 6. They waited until the undead were at their doorstep before deploying the dragons, missing earlier opportunities to use their aerial superiority to disrupt the enemy's advance and shift the battle in their favor. I'm not a smart person, so I know if I thought of something, then these characters and by extension the writers, should've already thought of this or had something way better/cooler/smarter prepared. There are plenty of other issues, but I’m sure many have already discussed how problematic this battle was. It feels redundant to keep reiterating the same points, especially since as I mentioned this topic has been beaten to death.

Enma

I'm still mad that the North people treat Daenerys like she's a bad person, she lost her whole army, her most trusted man and Raegal got really hurt, she was firing and lost in the storm while Jon was just standing there, why would Jon ride a dragon without knowing any commands. What irritates me the most is Sansa's fking attitude when she didn't do anything at all, she didn't risk anything but she keeps having her stuck up attitude.

Dreamer

My only comment in relation to this writing is i am so thankful you are doing Dark 😭

Euphemia Isobel

Getting Viserys certainly made things easier for the Night King, but it was not necessary for him to be able to get past the Wall. Without the undead dragon he would just have frozen the surface of the sea at Eastwatch and the army of the dead would just have marched around, just as they walked over the ice when Jon took a band beyond the Wall to bag a wight.

NoneOfYourBeeswax

I always thought it was crazy that NONE of the main characters that were in the crypt died during the uprising of the dead. Kind of takes away from the fun of the scene, retroactively.

Andrew P

Where was her supernatural training, all she did was fight blind and then go watch a play for three episodes Stop trying to defend this dogshit writing

Sean Carroll

👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾 me omw to see Dave & Dan just to talk...

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Great reactions! Brig are you really tapping out? Or were you just joking? I agree with Cannon. I did like most of the episode even though I couldn't see the majority of the time. Not because of you guys. I mean when I first watched it as well. I have mixed emotions about Arya killing the Night King. I thought it was a cool surprise, but I did think it would be Jon. But, I guess it would have been obvious. I am curious to see what George would do differently, but I don't think he will finish them. That's why I've hesitated to read A Feast for Crows and Dance of the Dragon. I read the first three and enjoyed them. It is a bit odd because a lot of characters are younger than the show. I look forward to seeing the next reactions!

Jenny D

"How does anyone survive this?"

TheSauceGuy

When I looked it up the quote from Grrm that I found was him saying “the things that are going north of the wall… are the ice of the title”. Whilst that could be extrapolated to mean the white walkers it could also be referring to Jon and his arc north of the wall, Grrm is known for being vague with stuff like this so there’s no knowing for sure what he actually meant yet. Plus the prophecy on the dagger says “From my blood come the prince that was promised and his will be the song of ice and fire”. Which very heavily leans towards a child who is touched by fire (Targaryen blood) and ice (stark blood which is known to be magical like Targaryen blood, just in a different way)

Delane Gill

It does such a good job of showing why he had a fall from grace in the first place too, and so beautifully shows the conflict he has between the two worlds and what his choices have been. Like when he tells the Maester “I’ve gone too far to turn back now”

Erika Bade

This is pretty awesome in terms of visuals, but it just doesn't make much sense. One thing we've seen is that the Dothraki are incredibly capable on foot, so I don't get why they'd have them charge forward against a wall like that, idk.

TheSauceGuy

RIP House Mormont 🍷

Scinaps

Theon’s speech at Winterfell in season 2 foreshadows so much of what happens in this battle with the Iron Islanders

Erika Bade

Happy belated Birthday🎉🎉🎉🥰

Amna 🍉

Where is he hahahaha!?

TheSauceGuy

No. Please use your brain for just a few seconds here. Jamie thematically actually has an entire arc dedicated to being a king slayer and a man without honor who is actaully honorable. Him killing the knigh king and dying would be the most honorable thing to ever occur and completes his character arc unlike Arya who has zero ties to this story. Please try and think before you feebly attempt to comment a GOTCHA next time.

Mitch

I was expecting this fight to be a bloodbath, I feel like more people should've died

Amna 🍉

Some really fantastic shots this ep

A_Daddy Daichi

Grrm has confirmed that fire stands for Targaryens and ice represents the white walkers, not the Starks.

Amna 🍉

I was SO excited thinking I'd see Howland Reed at the battle 😭

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Mad

EMG

I understand but him wrestling with gollum directly caused the ring to be destroyed tho. Frodo was a direct part of the final climax and played the most integral role in saving the world. I bring up pippin and merry because they have no buildup towards the ring like Arya having no buildup thematically with the nk.

Mitch

It's actually my second least favorite episode, exactly. But my first isn't the one I think you mean.

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Was actually yesterday but I'm celebrating today! 😊

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Happy birthday!

A_Daddy Daichi

Night King fumbled the lead so bad

ssj4rit

OMG stfu. A character jumping across the continent and a character getting the fitting end they deserve after fighting their enemy the entire show are not remotely comparable

shadowwalker

i will stand by the fact i think this is the 2nd worst ep in the show. the action isn’t even good and the logic is completely braindead

Mason09

Happy birthday!!

Studio Geck

Theon 😭 one of the best characters. Lyanna Mormont the ultimate goat. Went out like a G Jorah 🫶🏾

A_Daddy Daichi

since that you all mentioned Marvel. Fun fact, This Episode came out at the same month as the End Game.

Anthony Rodriguez

Even those light drums at the start of the episode made me feel sick and nauseous with fear when it first aired. The talent✨

Bellamy Blake

My birthday gift from ya'll, awww, thanks 🥰 To stabbing climate change! 🥂🥶

Lady Stoneheart (Uncat)

Answer the second part of my question.

EMG

He wasn’t the hero in that moment funny enough, and I like how he couldn’t throw the ring in the fire. It was gollums obsession with the ring that got it destroyed in the end, which makes him the unintentional hero of the story. I get your point about Jon and if the show would’ve done it the right way I’d prefer it, but if it wasn’t going to be Jon I didn’t want it to be Arya

Studio Geck

Honestly for me, I loved the conflict with the white walkers more than the conflict of the throne. When the night king died, I was hype but then I was like wait…. that’s it? One of the biggest threats of the whole show just ended in 1 episode… 1 EPISODE. This should have been 2-3 episodes. I was honestly pissed 😂

A_Daddy Daichi

What I think about night king death, is that the power was not in Arya itself, but the adaga was the one who told the profecy, maybe there is something. But is kinda weird yeah

Leonardo Estudante

a very respectable outro discussion. i like this episode for the most part but i totally understand peoples gripes and can admit things could have been done better. definitely agree that that is the real tragedy of GOT.. an IP like this and this world George built is once in a lifetime material to work with. like you get one shot to adapt this top tier material and they did it soooooo well in the first half... its sooo tough that they didnt capitalize on the potential through to the end.. that is why i feel like GOT will stay the biggest fumble in tv history maybe forever. but that being said.. it is still very beloved despite that.

JAY

the cinematography and soundtrack were 10/10 but the long night was a short night💀 they should’ve pulled an endgame make them loose the first round and then second round they win . plot armour was bs too . idc what anyone says jamie should’ve died during the long night bro had one hand and it’s not even his good hand. a lot more important characters should’ve died, sam, davos , etec to make it more crazy but i’m glad jorah and theon had justice to their character arc this season. the dragon fight should’ve been dany and drogon vs viserion and the night king it would’ve added more emotions cuz that’s her dead son and drogons dead brother and then when the night king hits the ground that where we should’ve had the night king vs jon in a epic battle. but no dumb and dumber thought “ why give the audience what they want and just make arya stark the prince who was promised who killed the night king!!!”

jason 𒉭

Cannon, I thought you asked "Can one Jedi beat a million Mormons" instead of "Romans" lol.

TheSauceGuy

It’s pretty obvious and any half decent war general would raise it as a concern in a battle strategy, even if it’s only a theory.

ssj4rit

"This is Endgame before Endgame." Fun fact: This episode and Endgame came out on the same week. And so did part 2 of AOT season 3 (The return to Shiganshina). I will never forget that time in my life. The best seven days in nerd history in my opinion

Lexi Browning

I'm so surprised you guys didn't notice them mentioning the crypt a million times last episode haha.

TheSauceGuy

So it’s not about the lore it’s about what character you like more? Got it. @mitch

EMG

Um it’s not that obvious. I’m pretty sure they think he can raise anyone who is killed BY THEM. If that’s not the case why didn’t he raise the people from the crypt or all the dead people in westeros way before that. Don’t say it’s because he’s close in proximity that can’t be confirmed.

EMG

He fights gollum and throws him off to destroy the ring. Am I missing something? He was the clear hero who saved the day, build up since the first 5 minutes of the movie. Just like Jon Snow.

Mitch

defending arya killing the night king of all things is so weird. it makes no sense, she isn’t connected to the story and it has 0 build up

Mason09

Man, the only thing that could've made the GOAT Theon's arc better was if he killed the Night King in a Jojen Reed moment IMO lol.

TheSauceGuy

If you want to be pedantic, the record for the long jump is just shy of 30 feet. A supernatural human should be able to go beyond that. Be mad at the unoriginal dagger move or at the fact that the Night King just held her there and did nothing further to protect himself or eliminate a threat (he was quick with Theon).

Josh

I thought someone said Arya’s book arc is about realizing revenge isn’t the answer? So maybe her training will be to fight something else and not just about her list.

Bellamy Blake

Did you watch ROTK?

Studio Geck

Theon or Jaime would've been the best option for killing the Night King IMO (if not just Jon). Theon could have a Jojen Reed moment where Jon is about to lose and he saves him after he'd been stabbed or something. Jaime would be a good option because it'd give the name "Kingslayer" a new meaning. The books don't even have the Night King lol. There is a "Night's King" but this is a historical figure and not the "leader of the Others." The Night King is a generic villain meant to give the characters a single central antagonist character though. Things would've had to have played out much differently without him.

TheSauceGuy

Typical of wanting Jon to kill the night king. That’s the problem. Everyone wants their favorite character to do the best thing or have a happy ending. When it doesn’t happen that way it’s automatically “trash writing”.

EMG

Why didn’t the Night king just snap her neck the moment she was caught. Like he killed Theon instantly but na let’s have a staring contest with Arya.

Mitch

blessings from Ramin Djawadi

hollow soul

Yeah Frodo throwing the ring into mt doom to save the world was SOOO GARBAGE its was literally the most predictable thing ever that I knew would happen since the first movie. Thats why the lord of the rings was trash because Frodo shouldn’t have been the one to save the day that was way to obvious and on the nose. It should’ve been Merry or Pippin destroy the ring now that would’ve been an awesome twist that no one expected!

Mitch

I don't think that works when you have thousands of undead next to the king

SirCatelot

Oh boy, it's finally here lol

TheSauceGuy

i understand why you are all wondering if why Arya moves like Batman, but in the books Arya always remember her lessons from Syrio. How to move quietly, be calm, and how to be smart. I mean in every chapter of the book where she is the POV. She always think of Syrio’s lessons. From book one to the last, Arya always think of Syrio.

Anthony Rodriguez

I do have to say, The Night King music at the end of the episode was absolutely outstanding. Easily one of the best pieces of music in the entire series, and in a show full of iconic music that is saying A LOT.

Marcusinmilw

She literally flew 30 feet in the air. How did she learn to do that? Can jaquen do that?

Mitch

EW CANNON! "it would be to on the nose"? Give me the payoff that's built up, not some shock value bait and switch. It was not obvious at all to viewers on release that arya would be th eone. House of The Dragon added the prophecy to the dagger. So as HoTD fans first it makes way more sense that you could sniff out aryas role.

Niffol

Please react to "inside the episode" of this season

SirCatelot

I would’ve even accepted Jamie doing it

Mitch

and Theon too 😭💙

This episode was good and I’ll stand on that. Now it still could have been a lot better and I’m not a fan of Arya taking the Night King out besides that it should have been more then 1 episode. And more back story moments on the Night King. I’ll give this episode a 8.0 but this should have been a 9.9 if it was done correctly.

They did jon so wrong in this episode

Afra

SHOTS and Battle scenes: 9/10 Can't see anything half the time but the excellent shots made up for it. Logic in battle: 5/10, There were supposed to be like 10x more deaths its insane how they survived. STORY: 1/10 I think I understand where Jack is coming from, John a character whose purpose since episode 1 was the wall and white walkers staring at a dragon while Aria an assassin whose goal is avenging her family gets his entire life's purpose of killing the night king. Now that's worse writing than CW shows. Not to mention Tyrion, Sansa and Dany staying near the zombies who climb dragon. LOL After you see the next episodes its best to go back and judge this one story wise because its baffling. But as a first watch ig the excitement is great.

Also who the f had the idea to put the women and children in the crypt with the dead ppl...did no one srsly think of that?

Nic_

Arya clearly has supernatural abilities after training with the faceless men. How many times does she sneak up on Jon this season? There are so many issues with the scene, but Arya going unnoticed is not one of them.

Lyanna Mormont died a true Northerner’s death 🫡

It would be poetic for Jon to use the dagger which has the prophecy written on it which is about him. It would be nice to see Jon and Arya working together since they’re the closest stark siblings. And as for Dany we could still have her scene where she has Drogon breath fire on the Night King but have it happen whilst he’s on Viserion and so she has to give one of her children their final death so even though she doesn’t kill the Night King she at least takes out his zombie Dragon

Carter face in shock after Arya killed him had me on the floor 💀💀

Myles

Great episode, everyone had a role to play, the bonds between characters were endearing and the ending really left you satisfied. Also great display of color and not hard to make out what was happening on screen. Oh wait thought this was the Haikyuu post my b

One of the worst ways for the Night King to get taken out. 8 seasons of Jon’s character being built up to become the Prince who was Promised all for it to go to waste. So many years of analysis and theory’s through the books and tv show just for whatever this is to happen. I love Arya but she literally had no connection to the Night King or army of the dead. It should have been Jon, Dany, or Melisandre to finish the job. Hell even Bran could have warged Jon to do it or somthn but nope.

Jed

My idea for the final fight would to have Brienne, Jorah, Jaime, The Hound, Theon etc. fight against the White Walkers whilst Jon makes his way towards the Night King to duel him. And during the duel Jon would start losing and be knocked down to the floor about to get finished off before Arya jumps at the Night King behind, he catches her (similar to in this episode) but she drops the dagger to Jon who catches it and stabs the Night King

Delane Gill

I dont hate Arya having a hand in killing the Night king but I feel like Jon should’ve had more of a role in it given how he’s the prince that was promised and basically the representative of the song of ice and fire with his parents being a Stark and Targaryen.

Delane Gill

Bruh, she literally flew 30 feet in the air. Theirs no platform or anywhere for her to launch from. What, did she jump onto an eagle that carried her so she was able to fly out the sky?

Mitch

Theon had the best character arc in Game of Thrones.

Emily P

Book Jorah is such a huge creep, ugh.

“Here take this knife” “I don’t know how to use it” “Stick em with the pointy end” 🤮 “She’s the smartest person I’ve ever met” My brain is broken

Sean Carroll

My Problems with This Episode: Battle Length: The battle should have spanned multiple episodes. The last Long Night lasted years, so resolving everything in just a couple of hours feels rushed. After 8 seasons of buildup, it was too short and it seemed like they were just trying to wrap things up quickly. Deaths: Was expecting way more and still feel like their should have been more Poor Decision-Making: Some choices felt amateurish, like the crypts and the Dothraki charging into battle. It seemed like the characters weren't fully prepared or thinking strategically. Night King's Motivation: I still don't understand the Night King's beef with Bran. While he has the "knowledge," it seems trivial that it's the only reason he wants to kill Bran. It would have made more sense if they explained that the Three-Eyed Raven knows exactly how the last Long Night was defeated, knows their origins, etc and doesn't want him to help the living defeat him again. Arya and the Night King: Not even going to dive into this. All the themes of prophecy, fate, and destiny felt meaningless after 8 seasons of buildup, just for shock value. So many issues however, can't begin to get into it all. The cinematography was beautiful but just another meaningless plus.

Aryas entire arc has been about training to get the strength to wipe out people on her list, she only just found out about the night king a few days/weeks ago. The decision for Arya to kill the night king is basically the same as if Princess Leia was the one to kill emperor palpatine. It doesn’t fit the story that has been built up for 8 seasons. I definitely did not misinterpret Aryas storyline, so don’t say that I have, you clearly misinterpreted Jon’s storyline if you didn’t see the obvious foreshadowing of a showdown between him and the night king The fact they showed him walking off after Dany failed to burn him and then show Jon grab his sword, only for nothing to happen is just giving the fans the finger

Sean Carroll

My favorite part about this episode is when Jon turns to Dany and says “The night king is coming” and Dany says back to him “The dead are already here” Like someone actually typed that into a script and was proud of it.

GB3

"Arya's light on her feet." 20 minutes later. "I don't know how she did it." lmao Despite the flaws, they did inform the audience.

Josh

Do anybody know if they reacting to dandadan

could you imagine a ASOIAF/GOT animation OR anime? i would be sold

Seth Aasland

i always thought GOT would be incredible as an animation!!

Lexi Mae

Sorry, I don't think Missandei snapping back at Sansa was out of left field. Sansa is sitting, hiding in the crypt, talking about 'divided loyalties' (bitch where? You're all on the same side????) and throwing shade at the 'dragon queen', who's out there fighting, who's men are out there dying, and Sansa takes her chance to throw shade at her, to her own hand. Missandei just gave a reminder that Dany is out there risking her life for them.

creeper doodle

Theon - what an amazingly written, consistent character. One that lost, learned, and gained it all back. And one of the only stories that fully came full circle in this entire show. I wish they gave Jaime the same privilege during his redemption arc. But watching this again, makes me appreciate Theon’s arc so much more.

lily p

Eew what was that episode. Lol. It feels so different from previous seasons. Anyway I am glad that we are getting through the show. This is the season I have not watched in the past because of all the spoilers. If I'm watching this by myself, I wouldn't have finished

Jsjdifjfjfjrjkeowkhdhf

i don’t usually negatively rant on here but this ep is probably the biggest disappointment of the show for me for a simple reason, which is, i really think it should have been jon or dany to kill the night king. were my expectations subverted when arya killed the night king? yes. but in the worst way 😔 one thing i really like about this show and this universe is how it deals with prophecy. i love the idea that people may be gifted foresight or prophetic dreams that will come true, but their own personal experiences and agendas color their interpretation of these dreams (ex: melisandre’s vision of the flayed banner falling at winterfell; she believed that meant stannis would win, but we know that doesn’t happen until after the bob). so i would have loved if at least SOME aspect of the prince that was promised story could be be true but in a way nobody would’ve imagined. like if jon had to kill dany to light his sword or if jon had to kill rhaegal for the same reason or something like that. but no, arya will shut many blue eyes, like gtfo my face ☹️ idk, hated it, dany landing her dragon will never not piss me off, jon screaming at viserion will never not pmo, sam? alive? i’m pissed off. also, i can’t fucking see shit, so i’m pissed off theon’s scene is pretty epic though and the dragon fight is juicy

alexis ♡︎

The Night King: Dramatically walks away from the battlefield with his *useless* army, and kills Theon in 0.000005 secs to get to Bran. Also the Night King: Let's have a staring contest with this mf first. I don't blink HAHA! Wtf am I watching? 💀🤡

HNadR

Just because a character can do something doesn’t mean they should, especially when there’s so much source material pointing toward a specific fate for Jon. It undermines all that build-up in favor of unpredictability. The show is about prophecy, destiny, and the idea that each character has a written ending. Jon was clearly hinted at being the Prince That Was Promised, especially because it was personal between Jon and The Night King. The whole arc built up over the seasons was about Jon's journey, and Arya’s victory felt more like shock value than a payoff to that narrative If you really think Arya’s training justifies that choice you haven’t been paying attention to the story.

lily p

Wow so much criticism 😂 like “Daenerys shouldn’t even be in the field” Why is that?

Raya

Get that orange chicken

Kim555

i wouldn’t go by the ratings, these episodes were review bombed bc people hated the ending so much. I actually really liked this episode

bateman bookworm

I remember when this first aired the internet said Bran was just watching Avenger's End Game the whole time he was warging 😂😂

Emily P

me about to watch this with the chinese takeout i just got

Myles

No, it’s genuinely my opinion. It was the same years ago when I watched it as well 🫶 sometimes people have different takes and it’s okay. I’m not arguing if it’s right or wrong, I just wish to share it 🫶

Bambina

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re trolling here… I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much cope in one spot in my entire life.

Mitch

D&D once again proving they know nothing about battle tactics. This episode is a hard watch. Bloody awful.

creeper doodle

Umm gee idk how about the 6 season of foreshadowing and buildup of him being azor ahai. How about him being the main character who’s the epitome of righteousness and goodness. How about the standoff at hardhome with the NK. How about the standoff beyond the wall with the NK. How about the fact that his entire purpose for 8 seasons was trying to warn the realm about how the NK was the true enemy. Arya killing the NK is the equivalent of Merry or Pippin dropping the ring into mt doom. Oh but it makes sense pippin is a hobbit so he’s more resistant to the rings power and he wants to help save the world and hes apart of the fellowship so ofc he’s gonna be the one to destroy the ring. It’s garbage writing through and through.

Mitch

Who said he was resurrected in order to kill the Night King? His sole purpose has always been to reconcile former enemies and create alliances by convincing them that the "Snarks & Grumkins" were very real and needed them all to fight on the same side. This has been his driving purpose ever since he first recognised the threat as a Brother of The Watch. Btw you may have missed it, but Jon and the Night King did briefly fight when they were both flying their dragons. Much more epic than more bashing off swords, brief tho' it was,

NoneOfYourBeeswax

Despite the darkness, I actually loved that episode. I didn’t want Jon to kill the Night King - it would’ve been too obvious. It was so suspenseful, the camera work was amazing, and don’t get me started on the song towards the end - it was perfect. The white walkers were useless because they didn’t have to do anything - they were near the Night King to protect him, but their job was to be alive so that the zombies could be alive as well. They were winning anyways so why would they fight, too? Also, Arya did have a lot of training to be quiet and sneaky, so not surprising that they didn’t see her coming. It was foreshadowed earlier in the episode when she was hiding from those zombies. And the movement with dropping the dagger and catching it was a bet and she took it and did it successfully. Jon screaming was mostly adrenaline, in my opinion. Like how could he kill the dragon anyways? It would’ve been weirder if he did, I think. I also think it was very smart to send the Dothraki first. Why would they wait for the army to reach them when they could’ve killed many of them far from the front line? They couldn’t have known they won’t do much damage, but they had to try. Also not weird that they didn’t continue throwing the fire cannons when people were fighting as they would’ve killed their own, too. Daenerys not flying off immediately when the zombies started crawling on her was the only weird thing for me. But I guess if she was on Drogon she would’ve fallen, too, when he was shaking them off of him. And if she stayed on Drogon they could’ve killed her as well.

Bambina

"Aryas story has nothing to do with this" So you missed all of Arya's training, starting with Syrio Forel and culminating with her training as a Faceless man? That's seem very remiss of you, Sean. She's literally a trained assassin who can move in soundlessly for a kill (as she showed when sneaking up on Jon in their reunion scene at Winterfell). John's purpose was to gather allies and unite former enemies into a single Alliance - that has been his sole purpose and aim since he first recognised the threat as a member of the Night's Watch. In the episode "A Night of the Seven Kingdoms" you were all complaining that it was but fan service. Now you're complaining because you're not getting Jon Snow fan service, smh!

NoneOfYourBeeswax

Arya the prince that was promised

Kacie Mills

Looked great on my TV as well (viewing with all room lights off). Tbh I could never understand what people were complaining about. Having said that, looking here at the picture the Geks appear to be seeing - it's bloody awful!

NoneOfYourBeeswax

what they see and what we see is different

SirCatelot

Idc what anyone says it should’ve been Jon it always had to be Jon. He’s the clear hero, he was literally resurrected from the dead for this exact purpose, and what does he do? Yells at a dragon and doesn’t even swing swords with a single white walker.

Mitch

Is the onscreen TV picture a true representation of what the Geks are actually seeing? It looks bad. If that really is the case I can understand for the first time the complaints of viewers about the dim lighting. It has always baffled me because viewing on a large wide-screen TV with good colour and contrast, watching in a darkened room I've never had a problem seeing what is onscreen. p.s. I love this episode anyway, flaws notwithstanding!

NoneOfYourBeeswax

Girls get it done.

Osvaldo

I can’t watch this for about 24 hours but best believe I’m going to absolutely annihilate this episode tomorrow

Sean Carroll

“We hoped to kind of avoid the expected and Jon snow has always been the hero, the one that’s been the saviour…. But it just didn’t seem right for us in this moment” “She seemed like the best candidate provided we weren’t thinking about her in that moment” Quotes from dumb and dumber regarding the terrible decision to give Arya the kill instead of Jon snow who has been built up for 8 seasons to be the one to end the white walkers. Aryas story has nothing to do with this. This episode is the first time I turned off the tv after seeing that and I didn’t return to it until the week after just before episode 4 Thus ends one of the most hyped up storyline’s in the absolute worst way possible. Fuck dumb and dumber

Thank you daenerys and melisandre for the lighting. As for arya killing the night king, maybe if they both died it would have been more epic, idk

Don't get me wrong the last couple of seasons haven't been the best GOT has to offer I still enjoyed them but this episode is definitely the point that sh*t started to hit the fan, I'm still thinking what the writers were on when they wrote this script...

This episode looked great on my OLED when I saw it last year but I was squinting the whole time on my old Samsung TV when it aired.

Poor Jon. Arya robbed his kill. Writers destroyed his entire arc in one episode.
