Best TV Episode EVER! My heart rate spiked the entire show
From the beginning until the end this episode got me wink not once °_°
Petyr: "You're welcome..."
ARYA WITH THE BADASS MOVE!!!!!
And now good luck with Cersei...
The episode could be summed up by a great quote from someone somewhere
“The night is dark and full of errors”
This episode is was actually a lot better visually wise when the lighting is fixed.
Still kind of cringy/obnoxious watching Jamie die like 7 times…
My brain would hurt trying to write down every logical thing that doesn’t make sense O_o
My main criticism of this episode is how bad the dragons were used, and the charge of the Dothraki is kind of dumb but this quite the episode, very epic. Ser Jorah will be missed, epic death serving his queen, Edd another sad casualty and Lady Lyanna Mormont went like a true warrior..
I'm sure a lot of people are going to criticize this episode very hard but think about it, we were pointed in one direction and another person delivered the final blow to the Night King that's very GRRM if you ask me, there are plot holes but it works inside the universe, in the end the NK proved to be as flawed as all the characters GRRM has written so again it matches perfectly with the style.
About Arya delivering the final and fatal blow, I didn't get it at first but think about it, who is the character that have been groomed into becoming a fighter and later an assassin? Well Arya Stark! since season 1 she kept practicing with swords and arrows, GRRM and the TV show writers were setting Jon Snow as the "Prince" well it was the "Princess".
To each their own.
I stan only one (1) badass and that's Arya freaking Stark. SHE DID THAT.
This episode in blu-ray has a much higher proportion, the images are much more noticeable and clear, unlike the streaming that sacrifices everything. Second time I watch it in BD and it only enriched my experience even more. The open plans are beautiful and you could see perfectly the battle in the sky between the dragons (one of the best and most tense moments of the episode).
I continue to find this war all too intense and unpredictable. And that is why the outcome seems too easy. After all, it was eight seasons building the threat from the White Walkers and the Night King. As much as it is praiseworthy and exciting for Arya to be the person to kill him, this bittersweet taste remains in my mouth.
I'm sorry for everyone who fell... Jorah, Lyanna, Edd... Theon, who was very brave. And I'm sorry for Melisandre. Her last scene is impressive. And it surprises me because she committed one of the most cruel acts in the series, which was the cowardly murder of Shireen. But still, the character managed to grow on me.
Fantastic episode! Absolutely great! I was nervous through out the entire episode.
Really a masterpeace!!! I can't think this season is the last one…
"Everyone! Remain calm! The Crypts are perfectly SAFE!!!!! I repeat, the CRYPTS ARE SAFE!!"
I was hoping we’d get to see headless undead Ned down in the crypt, but I guess it was not to be.
"The Long Night" is a visually stunning episode of a fantasy television show. It features incredible cinematography, special effects, music, and audio. This is a disappointing episode of Game of Thrones.
So far, these three episodes of Season 8 have not been as politically or emotionally complex as episodes in previous seasons. However, I still enjoyed seeing characters I've grown to care about display feats of strength and badassery.
My favorite moment in this episode was watching the Dothraki ride into the black night, arakhs aflame, and seeing those orange glows slowly disappear. Miguel Sapochnik is a fantastic director!
This season could be redeemed if the death of the Night King is more complicated than we currently understand. It wouldn't be enough if the importance of the battle with the Night King was only to illustrate that prior enemies can band together and unite under a common cause.
I'm looking forward to Episode Four and beyond!
OMG! This was amazing! I'm astonished!
Great directing, but extremely poor writing. Disappointed.
BEST EPISODE I'VE EVER SEEN!
It was all leading to this and they did not disappoint. I was literally on the edge of my seat. There are no words to describe the power of this episode. I'm exhausted but so so happy. 11/10
EPIC! The ending was unexpected!
Sansa Stark: "The most heroic thing we can do now is look the truth in the face."
well I have to say this is one of the best episodes I have ever seen. it's one of the few shows that has me clinging to my emotions. action packed, eventful and a joy to watch. best episode so far.
What a great episode!!! If only we could have seen a damn thing, with all the darkness and the cold mist and the blurry action scenes... :unamused:
Also... fighting an army of undead? Shelter the women and children in a cemetery!! Brilliant idea :thumbsup:
I cried when Jorah died.
overall impression: bullshit hollywood movie (i.e same crap like marvel, DC).
but hands down, beautifully done BS.
What do we say to the god of death?
Mostly I just question the general trend in cinematography where there is an insistence on shooting nighttime like you are stuck halfway down a coal mine. You're trading a bearable viewing experience for hyperrealism. I remember when this came out and thinking, "lol they've spent so much time and money on all this action for hardly any of it to be seen and enjoyed". I think my favourite scene would have to be Arya in the library, reminded me of the Jurassic Park lab moment.
a charitable 7 cause idk, i do like set pieces. everyone's 4's are justified.
I'm still hoping that THAT battle with the white walkers didn't just end up in one episode. The build up was so long, like seasons long, and I wished the battle was maybe 2 episodes max. Ugh. Idk.
Last good episode of GoT, I'm calling it right now.
Just watched it for the second time now and I really must say that I don't think I've seen anything like it on TV yet. Pure masterpiece!
OH MY FUCKING GOD ODDSHFOIDFGFD GUDGHOHJKLJHJGGFD I'M NOT OKAAAAAAAY
Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
"Send the dothraki first since they are barbarians"
"Dragons are our heavy artillery let's keep them flying in circles without doing NOTHING for say 2/3 of the battle. Even if they all stop before a flaming trench and sit there nearly aligned for tenths of minutes. We can not win the easy way this must be EPIC"
"It's a massive invasion of Savage, quick and merciless undead but we like to walk orderly and calmly in libraries"
"By the way, libraries are still dead silent while people are being ripped to shreds outside"
"Hey, look, Arya slipped past 4.000 undead and learned Rey's air saber trick"
"Every major character gets to live even after being surrounded by dead. (jorah and theon were already half dead - oh yeah, theon, seems Arya waited in the shadows while you were impalled too. Go team.".
So in this big battle where "your favourite characters gonna die" they killed like 4-5 totally side characters nobody really cares about and defeated the night king in a lame ass way. Dissapointment is not even the best word to describe this episode.
Absolutely incredible what they were able to deliver from a technical perspective. I just wish it was a little brighter, it was so dark that it was hard to see everything. A ton of great moments.
What was this, Disney’s Game of Thrones? All these seasons of build-up... and we get this? How many characters of importance died?
I’m disappointed.
Thanks to Melisandre we could actually see what the fuck was going on!
This episode was so dark, even the Night king's guard didn't see Arya coming...
My therapist will hear about this episode.
They didn't even need the Dothraki. Greyworm, Gendry, Tormund, Brienne, and Jaime killed like 2,000 wights each
The Night King was reduced to Tyrion level of Stupidity.
Confirmed death count: R.I.P
Edd
Beric Dondarrion (aka. Barricade Dondarrion)
Lyanna Mormont (Lyanna 'Giantsbane' Mormont. Killed a giant at the age of thirteen in the Battle of Winterfell. Her greatest and final act. And now her watch has ended.)
Theon Greyjoy
Jorah Mormont
Night King
Melisandre (Melisandre: "I will be dead before the dawn.")
99.8% of the Unsullied
99.9% of the Dothraki (Dothraki's flaming weapons slowly disappearing in the dark was the most terrifying scene EVER)
Confirmed living:
Ghost
Drogon
Rhaegal
Jon yelling at a fucking Dead Dragon!
Jon: We did it. We defeated the dead.
Bran: We don’t have time for any of this. Cersei has 4 elephants.
One of the Best part was the slow piano montage of everyone dramatically fighting to the last breath with a shot in the middle of Sam lying on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

None of the prophecies mattered, nothing was resolved between Bran and Night King, all eight seasons of build up and the NK dies from one quick stab. No surprising twists, no intelligent storytelling, the storyline ends like this. The whole long night ends in one battle.
The war council preparing for a siege, they send out their cavalry to die in the first 10 seconds, 20 or more wights surrounded every character, and yet every main character manages to retreat. Theon with around 20 archers managed to defend against a horde of wrights. We see Jon surrounded by a crowd of wights, and next scene there's no more wights left.
I think this time it's a bit of a stretch to say DB Weiss and David Benioff planned this well. By their own admission they've only known Arya was going to land the finishing blow for 3 years and when you account for the 2 year hiatus, that's just season 7. Even then, Arya got the job because she's a fan favorite, not because this is what she's been building up to. Her story never even had a hint of "White Walker" plot. I think Mel talking about shutting eyes forever back in season 3 was purely about her faceless man training. Mel said the "Blue Eyes" comment second in season 3 but they retro actively made it the last color while reiterating it this episode to force prophetic weight onto it.
From a story writing perspective this was not Arya's fight to win anymore than it would've been Oberyn Martell's. Her experiences made her a highly skilled fighter but her plot didn't set her up to be the savior of the realms of the living.
sooo this was shit. The fact that everyone survived a battle no one should have is pure bullshit. and by everyone I mean the main characters.
Arya for the win!
I've never had more fun being wrong predicitions-wise.
Theon's arc was perfect, dying at "home" as "a good man". Not to mention that Legolas-tier kill ratio.
Very disappointing episode. Anyone saying it’s the best episode of this show is just caught up in the hype.
Visually, this episode was fantastic. And as a stand-alone episode, it was very good. But when you take this as an episode of Game of Thrones and think about everything that led to this, it’s undeniably disappointing.
Barely anyone died. Most of the characters had super thick plot armour. Lots of plot holes. Anti-climactic ending. I don’t mind that Arya killed the Night King. I also don’t mind how it happened. But for it to happen so soon... the army of the dead have been hyped up since season 1 as the true enemy, and we were told that they were the most dangerous army in the show. Yet all they accomplished was the deaths of a few side characters. It’s pathetic compared to the feats of other characters and armies in past seasons. The Night King should have taken Winterfell and killed at least a few main characters. The survivors should have them retreated somewhere and then beat the Night King in a later episode. The Night King and the army of the dead did not come across as very threatening by the end of this episode. They were unable to kill any main characters, and they were defeated in the first proper battle they took part in.
Very disappointing. My rating is only as high as it is because of the great visuals and the value of the episode as a stand-alone piece of television.
Pros
+Fight scenes were pretty intense and not as hammy as they have been in other episodes with The Others and Wights
+Melisandre returning was good
+Dragon fighting was great and properly brutal
+The Night's King's assassination was pretty great, I liked how they led us on twice with Dany trying to kill him with dragonfire and Jon trying to duel him fairly and both failing before Arya got him
+Theon's redemption was godly and I can already tell people are going to be overlooking it in favor of other scenes unfortunately
+Beric Dondarrion getting brutally stabbed in the hallway was pure cinema, great cinematography
+Brienne and Jaime's unbeatable tag team fighting was great
+Acting was noticeably solid this episode, even actors I don't exactly like did well here, the writing being more competent than most episodes definitely helped
Neutral
* the Dothraki getting all hyped only to do literally fucking nothing was actually hilarious
*Lyanna Mormont bit was the only really cheesy part but it was kind of fun
*Arya chase bit was a lot longer than it needed to be
*Sam just lying down on a pile of bodies doing nothing for the last half of the battle was kind of hilarious too
*Crypt parts broke up the action a bit and served their purpose but also didn't bring that much to the table
Cons
-There were a number of scenes that tried to create tension by prolonging whatever action was happening (like the absurdly long wait at the start, or when Melisandre set the fire to the moat, etc.) and I don't feel like most of it was necessary or added anything but time to the scene
-Not enough important people died for a show that made it's name for not giving plot armor to main characters, there were a few too many scenes where one should've died and was saved at the last second by another character that had no business being at that part of the battlefield (I'm looking at you Jorah! fucking teleporting outside of the castle to save Dany. I'm onto your sorcery)
-Too Dark, hahaha I know dumb complaint but it was noticeably annoying at points
-Didn't really explain why Bran just decided to control the ravens for a bit (I'm also secretly disappointed he didn't steal the Night's King's dragon)
-No giant ice spiders
-Tactics made no sense as usual but magic zombie fighting wouldn't anyway so that's not completely unforgivable.
yeah I know I put a lot of critical points here but the critical parts were all minor to me and the good parts wayyyyy outweigh them. It was a great episode, it sets up an interesting ending to the series. Never thought Cersei would actually be the big baddie at the very end when they could have the Night's King but I'm not against it either. Can't wait to see Jaime stab her and pull out a flaming sword :smirk:. also the Cleganebowl/Trial of the Seven/whatever shit they set up for the final encounter will be wonderful
This episode is a masterpiece, perfect combination of tension, action and drama. The final was epic.. I didn't even blink for most of the episode. Just an amazing battle.. now is time for Cersei to die hopefully by the kingslayer hand.
I love this show, and am writing this because I care about it so much. Along with many other people in this thread, I had some issues with story decisions made in this episode. Killing all the white walkers makes no sense to me, and here are the reasons...
Other than the White Walkers, there were a few other points I had...
I loved the tension through the whole episode. Gave some spots to recoup and recharge. The light from the Dothraki swords going out was a great spectacle. Felt very Helms Deep. It was truly an amazing production. The music, the action, the pauses between fights. So well done. However, the episode's decision to ignore all of what the series built up since the beginning felt like lazy writing, and didn't really feel like what Game of Thrones has been.
Fair but incredibly anticlimactic, all of that buildup and hype over the years just wasted in one episode like this, disappointing doesn't even begin to describe it. sigh
fucked up ending. Fr they killed knight king so easily .
A disappointment. It's not horrible, but it is far from having the quality GoT had in the early seasons. The writing is piss poor since the end of season 6 tbh. Most people seem to have liked it, even though it doesn't feel like game of thrones anymore. The writers have no guts, GoT shouldn't be about taking the easy way out. This was the most hyped battle in the show and managed to be the worst of them all in my opinion.
I'll be waiting for the books.
What a terrible episode, too dark to see anything, probably to hide the bad CGI, Arya oneshotting the big bad boss with her OP teleporting powers, music was obnoxiously repetitive at many parts, stupid battle tactics etc etc. the list of stupid things in this episode is endless.
This was another level of deus ex machina. What was bigger the battle or the plot holes?
[6.5/10] This one was a real disappointment for me. It's not like there aren't high points there. Arya's badassery is rousing, Theon and Jorah's deaths are meaningful and affecting, and everyone from The Hound to Tyrion and Sansa get moments to shine and develop as characters amid the tumult.
But this one is just underwhelming as the climax of the White Walker story. The fact that this existential threat, the one that Jon has been crusading about for ages, that we were teased with in the series' very first scene, is quelled by the acts of one character slaying one enemy is just unsatisfying as a conclusion. The episode does a nice job of making our heroes seem overmatched and failure seem imminent, but that just makes the "the king goes down, they all go down" solution feel that much cheaper. It also takes some of the wind out of the sails of the show's final three episodes, as a fight with Cersei and her very human army can't help but seem a little anticlimactic after fighting ice demons and zombies in a dragon-to-dragon battle.
It doesn't help that the fight was almost impossible to follow. From the darkness and murkiness of the image, to the superfast cuts between scenes and images, the whole "fog of war" thing became overdone, to where it was too easy to lose who was fighting what and where, as the battle became one giant hodgepodge. That sort of disorientation can work when done well and not overextended (see: The Battle of the Bastards"), but here it just became tough to even discern what was happening at various points.
It's not like this is a bad episode or anything. There's still cool character moments and some tense and thrilling scenes. But as the culmination of eight seasons of storytelling and build, it can't help but come off like less than what we, or at least I, was hoping for. Particularly for a show that's done battles as well as this one has, the "Battle of Winterfell" is middling as a skirmish, and meh as the capstone to the White Walker storyline that has been with the series since the beginning/ Again, it's not bad, but I had hoped, and frankly expected, much better.
somehow the night king manages to fumble a million to one lead
Eh wtf is this? Despite the huge hype for this episode it's probably the most dumbest, hilarious retarded shit I've ever seen. They literally killed their own infantry by sending Dothraki tribe first into the dark. Nice tactic, well played.
They could've lightened up the area with something to see what's coming instead of getting butchered like pigs. They had all the time in the world before the war and all they could come up with is a narrow burning trench? They already know there are lots of undead and no one saw that coming? So scared that they forgot to plan their defenses properly??
Jon and Dany, fuck were they doing so far away on the mountain top? They could've done some recon using the dragons or something, instead chose to watch lmfao.
How in the hell did Arya sneak up behind the night king without getting caught? The undead made up the path only to let The Night King in, if she were that invisible then she wouldn't have much problem escaping the undead previously in the library. It would've made more sense if she's up on the tree.
And Jon tries to close the distance between him and the dragon only to fucking shout at it?Without even trying to attack? Wtf was he expecting?
This is Game of Thrones we are talking about, not some B grade crap wth, totally disappointed.
First I'm gonna say it was an episode worth to watch. It was pretty intense and you couldn't look away.
BUT
And well, I can't think about anything else right now. Wholesome it was a good episode, but it's not even near the best ones. IMO
What a garbage episode. 2 months to film that? One night in a room with the lights off and the soundtrack playing would give the same result. All the destruction and death that was barely visible and nobody of any real relevance kicked the bucket. Oh yeah, ‘big name’ d list characters died in what was built to be the biggest battle. If that’s the best they could pull out for the epic showdown thank god it’s only got weeks left.
This episode: The night so dark I can't see the terrors.
Knowing Game of Thrones, somehow I’m disappointed in how few main characters died that episode.
One of the worst and stupidest episode ever made in Game of Thrones. Don’t you know what I’m talking about? I’m sorry for you.
i enjoyed the episode a lot, it was tense and bloody and full of great moments BUT i was left with many WHYs.
1. WHY didnt dany and jon torch the shit out of the dead before they collided with their armies?? jon didnt even want to intervene when dany did, if they waited more they would have probably lost most of their men after the first wave. 2. WHY didnt the dragons destroy every wight that was standing in front of the trench waiting, before they piled up and broke through. seemed like there was plenty of time to just burn them all, or at least most of them. 3. WHY were living dragons just biting or doing fucking nothing against the already dead dragon. its like they forgot they could breathe fire. not saying it would have definitely helped but the revived dragon is by all means a wight and we know fire works against them. 4. WHY didnt dany just immediately fly away after she saved jon. stupid bitch, drogon nearly died cause of her and jorah actually did. also wtf happened to rhaegal, i must have missed it. 5. WHY didnt it occur to fucking anyone that the dead in the crypt could rise considering they knew that the night king rises the dead. come on now.
Ridiculous episode with so many idiotic "ideas". I don't remember the last time I hated TV shows like this episode. (And I didn't like very much the last two seasons.)
I don't think I can say anything new on this page, why I hated it... but...
I don't understand why must see so many high rating about this awful episode, after when we see so many inconsequent, illogical things. Open your minds and eyes!
I'm not a big fan season 6&7 but I enjoyed those... after that I see this episode and I think it's the biggest disappointment for me ever. (Of course only in entertainment.)
It's like an average bad superheroes movie.
It's not TV. It's HBO.
The absolute worst episode of GoT, no question. Murky visuals and woeful plot, full of holes, apart from the main characters' plot armor, which is invulnerable. The Last Jedi of GoT.
Wow, this has to be the worst GoT episode period. First of all, everything was so dark that I barely saw anything. Most scenes were also done very sloppy and just with lots of movement so you couldn't even see what the hell was going on.
The story itself was also very thin, with huge gaps in how stuff can happen. I mean, how did Arya reach the Night King so quickly and unnoticeable while moments before she was near the Crypt and almost died handling a couple of white walkers. And how can it be that the army of the dead somehow obliterates the complete army of the seven kingdoms except the unsullied, which makes all of them join in as we know, but then just a couple of hundred of 'our heroes' are able to fight of all of them and most survive?
The biggest flaw is when Danaerys first was able to put the Night King into the flames, he then got out, raised the dead, her dragon got caught, Jon tried to kill him but was stopped by that army which he magically was able to fight off all hundreds of them, but just as he's about to die Danaerys comes along with her dragon again and somehow is able to put them all into a ball of fire again. Very conveniently not possible during the 2 minutes that Jon tried to track down the Night King. And then Arya somehow sneaks past everything and even the Night King doesn't notice (are you kidding me?) but just as she's about to strike him, he has one of his ultra reflexes, but fails to notice the Valaryan steel knife falling out of her left hand and into her right hand.
Damnit, ever since they caught up with the books and had to create the storyline themselves, it went downhill, but this was by far the worst episode ever. It's only because I 'invested' 7 seasons before and I know it's only a couple more that I will finish it, but otherwise this would be me saying goodbye to a series that started off as one of the better series in a long time.
No tension, filler scenes with absurd shaky and dark camera shots where literally nothing can be made out of, horrible plotting and a weird way to end with a The Pianist like score while action is going on. GoT has lost it, big time.
The fact that last season Arya used the same move that killed the Night King on ser Brienne when training with her is so cool. When she asked Arya who taught her that, she said, "No one." Who knew that was how she was going to kill The Night King. That's so clever.
Bran also gave that dagger to Arya. The same weapon she used to defeat him. I guess he really does know quite a few things.
The Night King is such a big bottler, though. LMAO :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Battle of Winterfell MVP: Arya Stark
Great episode, defineatly one of the best of the series, but kinda dissapointed by the death of the night king, which was like the easiest death ever. But overall an amazing episode.
This ep was a huge disappointment. Red women coming out of nowhere and her part to set swords on fire (why they used steel swords anyway...) and she light up the line of defense, while John sitting on a dragon... magicaly evryone survives... and so on... 2/5 just because CGI.
Worst episode in the entire series. Also thanks for the visual impairment.
3 years ago I named my dog Arya. I bet today during our walks all dogs will show insane respect.
What an episode, damn.
"Big CGI battle coming up"
My god, this was such a boring episode. They should make it 4 hours long and entirely in slow motion because “the greatest battle ever”.
This episode ruined GOT for me. It was the best show until S3, then it went downhill with a few exceptions. I wanted to review the entire series to get the nuances, but they ended it with Aryas’ invisibility cloak, stealth superpowers and her Thanos little ice picker. Build up the entire Night King menace for this ridiculous end battle. Mediocre choice to boost a thus far unimpressive female character.
What did Jon do in this episode?
1. Dragon surfed and missed most of The battle.
2. Fell of the dragon, leaving dany to save him - leaving walkers to attack drogon - leaving drogon to leave dany - leaving Jorah saving dany and die.
3. Playing peekaboo with the ice dragon.
How is Sam alive? Maybe tears are some sort of weapon.
Of course every character that died had its moment. The hero moment.
Im sad to say that i dont really care about the characters anymore.
This is not really game of thrones, this is fan service
YES ARYA!! FINALLY!!
I was losing all kind of hope and then she killed that mutherfucker.
When the Dothrakis started the fight and Khaleesi saw how they were dying, things got out of control.
The darkness, the fear, the stress, too much was happening at the same time.
It was beautiful and well done. This episode is worth of being seen more than once time.
Now I want to see how they kick Cersi's ass and who's going to be the King or Queen of the Seven Kindoms.
HUGE let-down.
So the super-enemy we've been building this entire show and lore about was, in the end, so weak and worthless that all he could do was smash a wall and ALMOST take ONE little town up north. He couldn't even manage to kill anyone important. How the HELL does Sam and Jaime survive that battle, for example?
This is Game of Thrones, what the hell happened since everybody suddenly got plot armor?
Also, what on earth is the point of Bran? He's been built up to be this super-threat to the Night King, but he's done absolutely NOTHING except sit around and look silly. THIS is where his story SHOULD have peaked.
Finally (for now), what the hell was up with the lighting in this episode? Was watching in complete darkness, and I still had a hard time seeing any real details.
I got a new favorite soundtrack: The Night King - Ramin Djawadi
Fair enough fair enough!! This was a very thrilling and exciting episode. Let the buzz begin. Good grief really!! Just this episode alone was worth the wait. Bravo!! Well done!!
This is the most disappointing season of the entire series. First two episodes were a complete failure followed by the worst of all episodes that I have ever watched in the series so far. S08E03 was supposed to be something that can give an insight about The Night King's intention but he didn't speak a single word, and I have no idea what Bran is doing in the story if he has nothing to offer.
Even Hodor's death in season six explained about his past. That episode alone was way more emotional and intense than this entire disgusting season.
The worst part of all is the death of Night King, I expected something more meaningful form his departure after all he was the centre point of the entire series since the first episode of the series.
This YouTube video makes E04 more interesting and delivers true justice to Night King https://youtu.be/k7m6HP95EDM
Somehow the stupidity of the Walking Dead made its way to Game of Thrones. Awful episode. It felt cheap and so Hollywood. Incredibly disappointing and anticlimactic.
I enjoyed the episode and I was pretty engaged in it BUT it's been solved a little bit too easy. Too much plotting and not enough "smarts".
It's a bit rushed and a bit anti-climatic. They could have spent a bit more time fleshing it out.
And what are they going to do for three more episodes?
Shot in the dark couldn't see a thing!
What do we say to the God of Death? NOT TODAY, BITCH
I was so afraid that more people were gonna die, but honestly, this wasn't too bad! And deaths like Theon, Jorah, Edd, Berric, not to forget Lyanna Mormont, the way they all went out was just right. Thank you to the characters, and thank you to the actors.It was a rollercoaster, moments where I held my breath and didn't want to watch - but couldn't look away, sometimes given hope only to be taken away 5 minutes later. Just the way this episode had to be.
And wow I didn't see Arya coming, I totally forgot about her one second. Trying to find a way for them to win but I couldn't think of any. Looking back at it now, it feels so right. I have no idea how she managed to come from nowhere, but maybe that's the power of no one. No one killed the Night King. Thank you.
Can't wait for the aftermath from this.. Dany, what about the North? What will she do? What will Sansa let her do? And my faith in the kingslayer slaying Cersei is back. Oh but Gendry, what will happen to him? And his relationship to Arya? What is Arya gonna do, who is she?
Melisandre: "What do we say to the God of death?"
Arya: "Not today"
10/10
I am sat with the air conditioning to 'cool' and finish the episode with sweat all over and and burning ears.
Truly, A Song of Ice and Fire.
Oh yeah, God Daaaaaame.
P.S: I was stupid to me a shirt supporting house Stark when it's obviously the top guns are house Mormont.
And how did freakin' Cercei knew that it will happen? If you think about it you'll see that they spoiled us the season in episode 1.
Stick'em with the pointy end!
I liked the episode and all but I really wanted this war against the dead to be how the show ended. that would make more sense to me because of how the show started. and what's up with almost everybody surviving it??? is this the same show that just went and killed ned stark????
WOW!
(That's all I wanted to say but there is a 5 word minimum)
FULL OF SPOILERS: As I was thinking, nobody died, no one major. No Tyrion, no Jaime, no Samwell, no Brienne. If they survived this far and against monsters, I highly doubt it they are going to die against mere mortals. I think the producers are going to play it real nice and all the major characters are going to live. Probably only Cersei is going to die.
I'm rating this episode a little lower than usual and think that the last 2 were better. I think they did not handle the Night King death very well. This was a very important moment and the deus ex machina solution at the last minute to resolve all this, did not work very well. We all knew that killing the Night King will resolve everything but they should have played it better. Arya jumping out of nowhere at the last minute was not elegant or satisfying. All the other White Walkers or the undead were carrots standing there? Allowing Arya to come close?
The best death was Lyanna Mormont. It was purposeful and believable. You say why she is going close, why she is willing to die crushed in the hands of the giant zombie, then you realize why she did that.
Something similar or more thoughtful should have been done for the Night King's death. Maybe it was Bran's job to resolve all this for such an important story-line or even if it was Arya alone, it should have been done in a better way.
NWO everywhere. Are you kidding me?
if I could marry this episode I would
amazing, the best episode for me
if this episode doesn't get rated 10 out of 10... then what would?
I didn’t see that one coming...best episode of the series!
I'm not gonna lie and say that Arya killing the Night King was shocking. Let's be real, she's one of the most (if not the absolute most) awesome and badass character in this show. Of course she was gonna save the day night! She's a boss ass bitch and I love her (same goes for Lyanna RIP)
The only thing I found to be disappointing was that Davos didn't kill Melisandre. Her pulling a Luke Skywalker was a lame way for her to die.
I was expecting more deaths from more important characters, that was kind of desappointing. Jon did nothing but after all it was a great episode full of tension. Love it.
Night king went out like a bitch
GOT is the greatest thing to happen to humanity. So much hype was going around this ep, so many emotions... and it delivered. Nobody expected that. And i love so much about this ep that not a lot of people died as i was expecting. And as if i didint have enough reasons to love her, now im just obsessed with Arya,she is 100% my favorite. If she dies, im going to hate GOT.
one thing tho that im confused about is whats next, theres 3 episodes left, so all of them gon be about the battle with cersei??!! if they survived this night king shit they are supposed to die because of cersei dumnass.
EPIC, HYPE, AWESOME, I DON’T KNOW HOW TO FCKN DESCRIBE; THE HEART IS BUMPING SO HARD!
if just walking dead had one episode of this....
btw surprising episode so far...
that's it? was that the long night? I've had nights longer than that
Almost everything from cinematography, sound design, actors to set design ist world class! This episode had some of the best shots I have ever seen in a TV show, period. BUT the writing was complete and utter shit. Following the trend of season 7, D&D decided to wrap up the story as quickly as possible without spending any thought in writing a script that is worth being called a "Game of Thrones" episode.
Have to agree the I was a bit disappointed by this episode.. 7 Seasons leading up to the Attack by The Night King and they kill him in the first battle?? Talk about an anticlimax... feels to me that this is a case of the writer's needing to close out a lot of stuff in this season and basically the night Kitten winter coming and all of that needed to get done by the third episode so that they can deal with the situation between Cersei etc. Bit of a shame really and maybe they should have stopped typing up winter's coming and the night King a few seasons ago.
Personally I would have done it the other way round and have had the Seven Kingdoms sorting their stuff out earlier in this season and then ending with several episodes dealing with the night King. Anyway let's see how the rest of the season goes.
I liked the episode but I'm a bit dissapointed as well.... as mentioned in other comments you see some heroes surrounded and next scene they're not anymore (example when Jon rushes the NK and gets surrounded from every side by reanimated dead ... next scene you see him fighting them but he isn't surrounded anymore... how?
Also still find they hyped the battle and the dead so much in past seasons just to let the NK die in such a weird (may I say stupid? ) way. He still has an army of thousands and still he decided to enter the castle and go for Bran personally? Why not wait outside where it's safe with his army and let his leuitenants bring Bran to him....
Also seriously such a waste of the Dorthraki and the catapults.... Let them charge into the pitch black and get slaughtered and let's only fire the catapults in the beginning of the battle.... Why not position the catapults behind the army and keep shooting?
Overall enjoyed the episode while watching but at the same time I'm a bit confused.
This was just an absolute MASTERPIECE in tension building, I was literally holding my breath for almost the entire episode. ARYA is the true queen <3
This was the role that Arya Stark had been training for since S01E01 - the role of the unseen assassin. Even the night king with all his power could not see her for what she was. Excellent episode.
