You are crying about the show yet your predictions are 100x more ridiculous and retarded than what actually happened........

Was anyone else hoping for some Star Wars “I am your father” plot twist between the night king and John Snow?

I think a better ending to this episode would of been a few of the survivors running south in retreat and night king regrouping and advancing south.

Lmao - couldn't agree more. After the show ended, I watched the director's notes/discussion and they said she was supposed to be a one scene character and expanded her role upon meeting the actress which is cool.

I found her character very interesting and cool at first, but she was a one trick pony that was shown too many times. Her and Theon were the best deaths in the episode because we never have to see them again. Theon's story line was so boring for me. He just wouldn't go away, like a fly.

Things I didn’t like;

Given the amount of time they’ve built up this NightKing storyline, it feels like it was resolved way too quickly, with way too many questions still unanswered.

The Lord of Light played no part in editing this episode. It was way too dark & shakey. It had me squinting for much of the battle.

Too unbelievable. There’s no fucking way my guy Grey Worm could have survived being on that front line. Same thing with all the heroes seemingly surviving being backed against the wall like 1 V 100. Jamie, Briene, etc.

The scene with Dany aimlessly flying through the snow like, bruh, wtf are you doing

I wanted some dialogue between Bran & the NK

I did like the tone of the episode though, they built up the suspense really well. The red Witch lighting all the Dothraki weapons on fire was a ‘Hell yeah’ moment for me. Which was quickly followed up by them charging out, hitting an invisible wall, & all their lights going out like ‘Oh fuck’

The White Walkers don't talk. They are supposed to just symbolize death. Their backstory was already covered a few seasons ago as well.


They actually foreshadowed Arya killing the NK from the very first episode. Her showing up Bran with how much better of a fighter she was even as a child, her learning from the first sword of Bravos and the whole telling death not today, meeting the Red Woman and her realizing she was going to be important, the Hound showing her where the heart is, the whole arc of her being a faceless man which basically worships the God of Death, her getting the catspaw dagger from Bran in the very same spot she would use it to kill the NK, and her using the very same move she would use to kill the NK while training with Brienne.

It gave purpose to her going through 7 seasons of becoming the fighter she is today.


The NK isn't even the main villain of the show either. They made it seem like the Iron Throne was a red herring and didn't matter. Having the show end with the characters they spent years developing fight it out is a lot better than having it end with them fighting an army of the undead. I'm glad they are focusing more on the fight with Cersei. It is called Game of Thrones for a reason...

What references to NK's intentions were made prior to the 2 sentences Bran said in S8E2 (about wanting to kill Bran)?

honestly the episode started so well with red witch lighting up the swords and then seeing all of them die within minutes i was like holy fk its going down


but after that it was meh few good things here and there but overall more wtf and let down


nightking death and ending boring af white walker bosses useless af fighting scenes with the army of the dead to dark and shakey barely enjoyable


not showing arya preparing to ambush the nightking huge mistake they showed jon trying to get back to bran for like 5 minutes but couldnt show arya make her way to bran hilarious


bran and the nightking not talking makes me believe the nightking was a warg or a three eyed raven in the past wich makes alot of sense

I don't know why you keep saying this. He was the main villain of the show, or he was Villain 1-A.

I understand you were more interested in the other major plot line for who sits on the iron throne - and that's completely fine. Your bias towards that plot doesn't lessen the importance of the other plot revolving NK and his journey.

That makes zero sense.
