Theon Sad

Arya

by Firenze Sun 28 Apr - 18:40

Theon's a shitbag irregardless of his attempted redemption arc

did not see Arya taking down the Night King at all

kinda ridiculous not that many of the main characters died but eh, solid episode overall, towards the end I kept thinking they would leave us hanging until next week

RIP Jorah

by BarrileteCosmico Sun 28 Apr - 18:40

So nice to relax. Was on the edge of my seat for 1.5 hours. The episode had a lot of great moments, feel like the end might cause some hate though (although plenty of people predicted it too), but overall I'm pretty satisfied. The score was great.

forreal

that's one way to save on budget I guess lmao

by Firenze Sun 28 Apr - 18:50

Cast have absurd plot-armour for the most part. Arya killing Night King in that manner was trash.

Glad we can finally move on from this Whitewalker shit-fest and onto what's always been the more interesting stuff; showdown with Cersei

wonder what twists await there because Jon and Dany's forces are RIP

by Freeza Sun 28 Apr - 18:56

There's obviously going to be some sort of pay-off with Arya's faceswapping.

Most obvious thing would be Jaime dying a heroic death and her using his face to kill Cersei.

Don't really know what other face could be used for something like that.

Then there's the parentage stuff we need a pay-off with.

___

I thought a fine amount of characters died today.

We still got 4 hours left, and if more had died we would've barely had any bodies left.

Melissandre really pulling off an incredible comeback.

I thought this too but after Arya saved the day here? I don't see it

It might not be for killing. But maybe it can be used as a Trojan Horse?

Feel like it’s a shame if it’s only been used to kill Frey

by BarrileteCosmico Sun 28 Apr - 19:17

I think it's interesting in the post-show talk D&D said "we've known about Arya killing the NK for 3 years" so I feel like this must be what GRRM has in mind too (as he was the one to probably inform them).

With the way he has been eyeing jon, carefully manipulating Daenerys (possibly?) into bringing her dragons so he can steal one and then the entire Bran affair. It really looks like he has a reason to do all of this.

Exactly, a satisfying backstory and explanation to the Night King and his objectives is a main plotline that I want to be answered this season.

This. Dont have big expectations or anything (why would, lol with so less screen time remaining for the show to end). But I want to see at least a bare minimum effort put in by the creators in the remaining NK arc. Please dont make them some brainless evildoers who kill for sake of killing. Give them a purpose to live for ffs. Them revealing that weird pattern again is a good start. More of it please.

So you guys feeling disappointed? There were a few others who were saying things like this too.

As per usual, Rincon and I were right, NK's backstory and motivations were already provided coffee:

by Doc Sun 28 Apr - 19:32

I was a bit disappointed to be honest. Everything was fine up until the anime-esque ending. 7.5 outta 10. Maybe a 7.

by elitedam Sun 28 Apr - 23:37

I'm more disappointed in myself. I can't believe I allowed myself to get hyped up for this.

It wasn't a bad episode by any means. I just thought they had something better planned.

I was hoping the battle against the Night King would be the grand finale in the last episode. They've been building them up since the very beginning of the show. They're supposed to be an unstoppable army, and it all ends with Arya's 50-foot leap bullshit. Everything now feels less urgent, less important. A little bit like an epilogue. The main threat has been dealt with, here's what happened next...

That leap is right up there with "twenty good men". Then you have Dany losing her ride because she was distracted by Jon running away. And is there any reason why you'd split your army and send the Dothraki charging in like that?

Also, I downloaded a 5 GB torrent and still couldn't see shit. Next time I'll just get the 240P version.

What an apt choice for my avatar :bow:

One of the greatest episodes of all time, holy shit! I expected more main characters to die if I‘m honest but I guess there‘s still time ö.

by urbaNRoots Mon 29 Apr - 0:51

Really dislike Sam, survived the whole battle by just lying on the ground and had Edd killed. Didn‘t even have the decency to burn him like he wanted smh.

by Myesyats Mon 29 Apr - 0:52

Kinda disappointed since the NK seemed unbreakable yet Arya managed to jump to him while he was surrounded by his army lmao he must have known she was coming. Maybe he was shook by Bran's presence but still. Again though, all the cash that was spent on CGI for this could surely end world hunger.

by Myesyats Mon 29 Apr - 1:03

Unless Dany's iron throne in ice vision is yet to fulfill itself and the NK isnt actually finished.
