Game Of Thrones

I give this episode a 65% on the rotten potatoes scale. Or a C+

I felt it was little anticlimactic as well. But GOT is so good that even a bad episode ia still good.

One of the highest issues I had was the lightning. You could hardly see anything. Im gonna hve to rewatch at night. Having that come on with any light coming in wasnt good.

The CGI was pretty bad too. Looked like a film made 20 years ago.

I pretty much have all the same problems with the plot that everyone else is having.

I dunno, it kind of just feels like they are trying to end GOT asap. They are rushing through it now it seems like.

I’m going with eye on the prize. For Jon his focus is the NK. For the NK he has long wanted Bran.

Just because you’re obsessed with someone doesn’t make it a two way street.

Also true. However, after Hardhome the show creator's interview mentioned the Night King's focus on Jon/Aegon.
 
Jon deserved to kill the night king. I liked how they did it, but magic flying Arya evading all the other white walkers and suddenly being at least 8 feet in the air (he caught her on her way down) was plot device extraordinaire. For continuity it would have been much more effective to have a final stand between the white walkers and the key players, especially the wildlings and the night watch guys, in which jon kills him with long claw.

And I agree it all feels very rushed. It feels like a book that the author carried really well until the end when he couldn't come up with a good ending so he just buttons up all the loose ends. Not very satisfying and not very good writing.

A final showdown with the white walker leaders and a handful of valyrian steel wielding baddasses would have been pretty cool to see. I also agree with Archie that their strategy was dog ****. What's the point of sending out your riders to be massacred and join the army of the dead at the start of the battle? Why only one trench? They've long known fire is the most effective way to kill wights so why were there no buckets of pitch or oil on the walls? These seem like the kind of ideas that a master strategist like Tyrion might have thought of. It's a shame what's become of his character, he serves so little purpose now. Compare his brilliant strategy at the battle of blackwater to this cluster ****. Smh.

Same I was hoping Jon showed up flanked by Brienne, Jaime, Sam, Podric, Arya, Davos, Hound, Greyworm, Jorah and Tormund. Have some battle royal action going on.

Right, coat all the land around Winterfell in oil and have the dragons like that ****er up right before the front rows of the charge reach the pikes. Archers laying down constant arrows and the catapults shooting from cover. Dragons continually doing runs.

The thing is, they made the NK too OP so he kind of had to go down the way he did (if his character isn't willing to engage in an ego fight with Snow), by complete surprise.

Exactly. She wouldn’t have had to run and hide all over the place. She could’ve just walked out of the dining room/living area. Instead, she’s hiding under a table.

Playing dead isnt an established trope in GOT against the undead. No one even knows to do that. You'd have a complaint if it where set in modern time where people are aware of zombie cliches

You act like you know all about dragons even though you've only seen a few episodes of game of thrones. How do you know they can't just spew endless amounts of fire, or use it in flight, you don't know. Let's be realistic, of course, when we are talking about dragons. Since they are, you know, hyper realistic.

Because it's not possible. They are a creature who has to make energy to expell it. No one has an unlimited source of energy. It's common sense, which GOT has.
