I really wanted sometime during this episode just a cutaway of Cersei drinking wine in King's Landing.

Frantic and exciting episode! My only real complaint was a lot of the "dark" scenes at the beginning. I could barely see anything.
I felt bad for all the Unsullied for covering the retreat. Absolutely insurmountable odds, but they stood their ground. The way the dead were charging in waves was like the zombies in World War Z. |

Wish HBO Go aired in higher quality... Dark scenes with all the massive pixelation looked like shit

when the night king walked out of the flames a bunch of people started theorising that he is a targaryen despite that making absolutely zero sense
why do fans have to complicate everything needlessly, clearly he was unburnt because he is a powerful ancient magical being. not everything is something. come on |

also yeah the darkness was pretty terrible. we tried to combat it by varying brightness/contrast/colour warmth settings on our tv but that just made the pixellated blackness even worse

All that foreshadowing for one (albeit sweet af) episode. White Walkers were shown in the first scene of the entire series and now they're done just like that?? Winter was coming....and coming....and coming....aaaand.....it lasted one night. I dunno man....

A part of me feels this way, but it’s overshadowed by the fact that this was literally the most epic episode in the series to date.

i mean, yeah, both of those groups have origins in essos, and i guess it is possible that the man who became the night king was the product of interbreeding between them - hence lacking typical valyrian characteristics, like jon - thus making him half-valyrian/half-targaryen-ancestor or whatever, but... come on i just feel like, with three episodes to go, it is a hella long bow to draw to start introducing information like that now i'm not blaming anyone for theorising anything. i just think it is a stupid theory |

Well, they just spent one episode on the White Walkers after all that leading up to it, so I'm sure they've got plenty of time to get to that. Especially with how they seemingly like to rush through things these last couple of seasons.

Where do we know that? Are you thinking of The Night’s King from the book? Because him and the Night King aren’t the same thing.

we know that because, in the show, the children of the forest captured a human to create the night king in an attempt to combat the first men encroaching on their environment, and the only humans in westeros at that point were... the first men |

but i guess it's looking now like it's one at winterfell, two for cersei, and an epilogue? if they do an epilogue at all. or maybe the split, really, is three at winterfell, three dealing with cersei i can't imagine they'll arrive at king's landing within the space of the next episode as you said though, the pacing is all fucked up and it's all DnD bullshit anyway so who knows |

That makes sense save for that she took the necklace off before. Therefore, she should have died then if that was what was keeping her alive, yes?

or maybe the necklace was what was keeping her looking young, and it was the lord of light who was actually keeping her alive. either way, you get what i'm saying i mean, when the night king died, all the wights didn't instantly drop dead. it emanated out like a wave. there were still wights moving after he'd shattered. so magic clearly doesn't fade instantaneously. |

Seems pointless to use the spoiler tags in this thread! Why would people click this thread if they haven't seen the episode yet...

On that note, you know how difficult it has been to not see anything spoiler-y in the last 24 hours? At least the thread has a general title and not some BS summarized tangent about a major plot point. Those are the worst. |

Speaking of which, not enough people talking about how awesome Lady Mormont was in this episode. As if she's ever anything less than awesome.

I watched all the "behind the scenes" stuff for this one, and I find it hard to believe she was supposed to be a "one scene character". That girl Gus Fring'd herself into not only more screen time, but turned every scene she was in into big dick, O.G., scenery-chewing gloriousness.
If I ever have a little girl, I'm seriously thinking of naming her Bella Lyanne. "We're not a large house, but we're a proud one; and every man from Bear Island fights with the strength of ten mainlanders!" |
