Highly enjoyable episode though much of the first 20 minutes or so of the actual battle was tough to see. Still great.
Yet the writing was pretty bad and strategy by the Winterfellers was ****. I’d have had a huge barrier of wildfire (I know that’s Cersei’s thing but I’m sure they have it too) around the perimeter. Then another barrier of it 75 yards out. Then another, another 75 yards out. With multiple 13 foot trenches here and there. Funnel and burn basically. Wtf. Terrible strategy. Moreover, I have character complaints. Melisandre is a witch and all she can do is light the wood? Terrible witch skills. Arya is trying to hide inside in the dining room or whatever from the wights...so why not shapeshift? Also, why didn’t the three dragons ever procreate with each other and have more dragons? That whole family is into incest anyway. And Theon holding off mass wights with a bow and arrow for like 25 minutes of screen time was dumb as was a bunch of other fights in which the good guys were getting completely overwhelmed and would’ve died within seconds and yet came out unscathed. And yeah, Arya killing the Night King in that stealthy manner was also dumb.
**** was enjoyable as hell though.
