Thoughts and opinions on the latest episode?

*breathes in*

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Spoiler

8 seasons of build up just for Arya to get a nothing personnel anime kill.

Fucking

Comical

But don't worry guys it's going to have the same conclusion as the books it's in good hands.

I legitimately don't understand how something so terrible is this overhyped. Glad to see you guys feel the same.

Mordo · April 29, 2019, 05:18:37 PM

Okay at first I was kinda mildly disappointed but the more I mull this over the more I legitimately think this is perhaps the most affronting episode in the entire show.

Spoiler

>literal first chapter of the book has the Others set up as the foreboding antagonists of the story. Not necessarily malevolent, but definitely dangerous. Like a force of nature. They had their own culture, language etc. The show dropping that complexity was fine, as it was established in the first season they were evil, but I thought at the very least they would be kept as the primary adversaries.

Nope. Entire culmination of 8 seasons obliterated by memery.

Having Arya kill the NK was complete fan service pandering. Her character arc has absolutely no connection to the WW, so to have her do a OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU moment contradicts the series themes of grounded, gritty fantasy.

The fuck was the point in Dany's vision from season 2?

The fuck was the point of resurrecting Jon?

If you're going to throw out the entire foundations of the universe for pathetic fan servicing then at at least do it with a character that has a fucking thematic connection with the villain.

Bran warging into Oathkeeper and decapitating the NK is a more satisfying conclusion to the WW arc than the shit we got.

Also whoever edited the lighting this episode needs fucking sacked. That was some AVP Requiem shit.

Elai · April 29, 2019, 05:33:46 PM

Pretty fucking lame the more I think about it. I guess if I were still an Arya stan I'd be happy but I find it hard to care or like a lot of these characters. At this point I'm just watching for some kind of conclusion to the show I originally signed on for.

big dog · April 29, 2019, 05:53:00 PM

i've watched it twice and it was even worse the second time

almost reaching "beyond the wall" levels of bad

Spoiler

8 seasons of buildup for the white walkers to kill a handful of secondary characters and to be destroyed by someone who only found out about their existence a week ago

it's like if han solo killed palpatine and darth vader in the first act of ROTJ and the rest of the film was about defeating boba fett and jabba the hutt

maverick · April 29, 2019, 06:57:18 PM

I actually predicted they would do this; the writers aren't even trying.

Jive Turkey · April 29, 2019, 10:37:44 PM

Badass episode tbh one of if not my favorite in the entire series

big dog · April 30, 2019, 07:47:07 AM

i like how jon spent 8 seasons preparing for this battle only to spend the entire thing dicking around on a dragon and generally being useless and thought he was the dragonborn when he tried shouting at viserion

A Cheese Potato · April 30, 2019, 09:29:32 AM

I liked all the main deaths, they all fit pretty well for their characters, though the way the show has maneuvered them into this climax is really messy - and some of them just teleport around wherever they're needed like Jorah and Arya.

Other than that it was just another boring action fest episode, lost track of how many times it would show Jaime, Brienne or Tormund etc just completely overwhelmed but then it would just cut back to them being fine.

I don't understand why they made a whole episode about 1 battle when even in the behind the scenes of this episode they're aware that it will be 1 note and boring, but they did it anyway

big dog · May 03, 2019, 01:18:01 PM

WAIT NO PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN MY TAX POLI-

Elai · May 03, 2019, 04:14:38 PM

It's really disheartening to see people on my feed defending the last episode. I had one guy tell me that we're jumping to conclusions and not giving the "amazing writers" enough credit by suggesting that the White Walker threat is over. You know, despite there only being 3 episodes left, with the next episode preview showing only King's Landing scenes.

Desty · May 04, 2019, 04:43:30 AM

Where do I begin? I wasn't gonna watch this season of Game Of Thrones because the one before it made it clear to me that this season was gonna be just as trash as it was, but I got bored a few days ago and watched them. Where do I even begin? How about Arya's character development of being this depressed, empty person consumed with death that falls deeper down into the darkness as her story goes on being replaced with "I'm fine now, I'm a badass killer who can go toe-to-toe with Brienne of fucking Tarth in a direct confrontation"?

How about we ignore the ending and just focus on the fact that

Spoiler

nobody fucking dies? We have no more armies, the dead have been resurrected (which was a really badass scene for me because you can really feel the dread as all of that effort only made it worse because it dawns on you that they're fighting the dead), and then there they are, the people protected by their plot armour. How many are there? about 6 or so just clinging on because Dumb & Dumber don't want them dead.

Honestly, it's like someone already said, I don't care about the story anymore, I just want a conclusion. That's what I thought when I saw this video and thought about why I enjoyed it so much. It's because in this video everyone dies and the characters that have been made shitty under D&D are put to rest. Think about it, Tyrion, Varys, pretty much everyone have been made dull the last two seasons. Remember the earlier seasons? There's a reason Tyrion was a fan favourite.
