Roger on the naked, fireproof blonde.
For the record, I thought this option was hilarious but I do not actually hate you.
Changing my vote
I thought everything except Arya tonight was way to obvious. I wanted to fill dumb, devastated, and over joyed tonight. Basically I wanted End Game again. It came way short of that to me.
But, hopefully we get that before the series finale.
10/10 episode of tv in my opinion with a 0/10 for the story. We waited 8 years of buildup, prophecies, and lore just to have a glorified 80 minute war of the worlds. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Well, so much for my prediction here Geoff....GOT never has had a problem with killing of little kids have they...at least she took out a Zombiegiant. lolol
It was almost comical watching her charge the zombie giant. At least he brought her up into biting distance.
Way too dark to be able to tell what was going on. I'm not even sure if there's one dragon left or two.
The strategy of sending your Dothraki horde out to be wight food seems a little suspect and when they're all just lined up, not moving at the fire barrier, I'm facepalming wondering why they're not unloading as many flame arrows into them as they can manage.
Also, In retrospect, when battling someone who can raise the dead, it might've been better to not keep your most vulnerable people down in the blessed crypts.
However, those are nitpicks to an otherwise great episode, if you could actually see more of the battle, might've been the best yet. The climax with Arya was also a legitimate plot twist that I had no idea was coming.
9/10, would fight the Night King again.
I think that's everyone's argument, too dark. I've been telling my fam all along there was going to be an epic dragon 'dog-fight' and sure enough, but it could have lasted longer. Most of the time we couldn't tell who was flying what dragon. When Jon's dragon hit the Night King's there towards the end, that was pretty cool, but it could have lasted longer IMO. But as you said, we were left all scratching our heads about the one dragon that flew off with 50 Zombies hanging on...did he/she make it? And when the Night King threw that exploding lance thing at that one missed...right? So, we finally decided there was just one left.
It was epic for sure, but we'd already figured out, the only way they was going to win this thing was for someone to kill the NK, so it was really just a matter of who was going to get to do it. The witch woman telling Arya about the 'blue eyes' kinda spoiled the surprise a bit of anyone would have caught on to that.
So, with all of that being said, who NOW do you think gets the thrown?
At the end, I still think it's Jon Snow but in my mind, the real question is "who is the true final villain"?
We're being lead to believe it's Cersei but Jon's admission of his Targaryen lineage was left unresolved, interrupted by the start of the battle. I think there's a very good chance that they dispatch with the rest of the Lannisters/Golden Company/Iron Born in the next two episodes with the final being reserved for a Jon & Daenerys showdown.
I'm also now questioning if Arya ends up killing Cersei, she's had her moment, it may really end up being Tyrion or Jaime. My money's on Jaime.
That's a great point about killing Cersei. I thought the same thing. It'll be a bit of an overkill to have her kill ALL of the villains, and I was thinking to myself that Tyrion was really kinda in the background of that epic episode last night. So, I'm thinking he gets to kill her. It's almost like he's being trivialized a bit and he is certainly a fan favorite. So, the consolation prize for not setting on the thrown will be to off his evil sister. I just hope he doesn't die in the process. That'd certainly end the show on a real downer.
I loved arya killing the night king but also:
Nobody important died last night
The white walkers didn't DO anything
No jon snow x night king duel is a rip off
Starting to think Bran becomes Night King. He died too easily.
I agree that Tyrion's been underutilized and that they're saving him for something big.
In interest of poetic closure (like we saw with the Valerian steel dagger) however, I'm thinking Jaime ends up being the one to end Cersei's life because:
1) he was the one who began all this by pushing Bran out the window in the first place and
2) he acquired the "Kingslayer" nickname because of his betrayal (even if it was justified) of the last Targaryen monarch. It would seem fitting that he'd also end up responsible for putting a new Targaryen monach (Jon or Dany) back onto the Iron Throne.
You might be right, we still have no real idea what he was up to when he was off warging for most of the battle.
Could be that an apocalyptic threat like the Night King is part of a necessary cycle of destruction (also see the Doom of Valyria) that has to be perpetuated and he's going to fill that role.
