Following on from the Avengers thread I thought we need the same for GoT. A place to talk freely about episodes, no need to type cautiously.

Holy smoke on a stick. Just seen the battle episode and I'm half the person I once was. Not as good as battle of the bastards for me but still earth shattering.

Dothraki, see ya!

Arya = legend, my new hero. What an ending from her 😍😍

Theon = redemption

Little girl who killed a giant = brilliant

Ser Jorah, a gallant end

More big names survived than I expected although can you call 20 people an army? I reckon that is all that are left.

Did both dragons survive?

Endgame on Thursday, this tonight. I'm shot.

Which poor beggar has the job of digging the burial hole by the way? 🤣
 
Watxhe sit this morning before work wow....

That ending I did not forsee coming absolutely brilliant. As for the dragons the answer is yes as both appear in trailer for episode 4.

Theons redemption is awesome and the night king surging the blasting from Dany dragon made me sit there open mouthed
 
I believe both dragons survived but one was too hurt to be able to fly -rhaegar

If that’s the battle in the middle what’s the final one going to be like

So glad they didn’t go cliche with Jon Snow killing the Night King but its so clever that little bits fall into place

Arya just a legend
 
The Night King being resistant to fire seemed a bit odd, otherwise a lot to take in. Poor Dothraki :(

I'm not so sure it is odd, I think at some point we will learn who he truly was, the fact he could ride a dragon and now seems was impervious to fire will we learn he was truly one of the original Targaryians
 
I'm pleased the Night King is gone. There was no intrigue with him or his army, he just wants to kill everything. We can get back to back stabbing, intrigue, manoeuvring now.
 
Enjoyed that, Arya being the hero was a nice touch, been a fave all the way through.

The Night King smiling at Dani was a little weird.
 
Watched it on the plane this morning. Thought it was just me that was struggling becuase of too much light. Apparently it was iffy for most of my mates to really follow at times.

Glad Arya did it. Was obvious after red witch commented. I genuinely thiught Daenerys was in trouble at one point. That would have been a twist.

Looked to me like Jamie and Sam were done.
 
Just seen it, great stuff (albeit the TV company just don’t seem to have the nerve to kill big names like the creator George Martin was prone to do!) Still thoroughly enjoyable stuff. I need to get my thoughts together to post more.

Just finished it....... wow!! It was as good as I was hoping. No problems with the dark, it was fine on my tele with room lights off. Still a bit blown, Arya is the mutts, couldn’t believe it when I inadvertently clapped out loud at that moment 😳.

when the night king smiled st Danaerys, and when he rose all the dead he’d killed 😲. That was just f******g awesome, sorry but needs an expletive.

What do we say to the god of death?

Jaw-droppingly awesome!

Watched it at 2am Monday morning; and yet again last night - a second viewing was just as good as the first.

Edd, Lady Mormont (what a great character!) Beric, Theon and Jorah all bowing it in true heroic fashion.

Never thought I'd ever see battle scenes like those on a TV show, and all starting with the charge of the Dothraki light brigade! Shame they were more or less all wiped out......or are they? Will the final end game show that Jon Snow and Danaerys sent a portion of their army South to fight another day against Cersei? I hope so as their didn't appear to be too many left at Winterfell!!

But the end of the Night King - with the haunting music, Arya appearing out of nowhere - was just brilliant. If Arya does indeed get killed off in the end, I hope it's only after taking the Mountain and Cersei with her!

Cannot wait for next week.
 
Oh and if there's one character now who I'd quite happily see killed is Sam - he's served his purpose now!! 😂

He was always a coward when it came to fight, Edd and Jon both knew that and still looked after him. I thought he might redeem himself in a life or death situation, perhaps he did to a degree, he took a few walkers out, and even the hound froze in the heat of the batttle.....

It's funny I loved that bit

It was like "did you really think it would be that easy" :p

Was in smug mode yesterday with the wife, as I called Red Woman returning, and Ayra getting the kill

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but didn't Melisandre tell Varys they would both return to Westeros to die?

Last episode was a decent watch in it's own right but cant help feel GoT has lost its way, the plot and characterisation has got left behind as it's all so rushed to a conclusion now.

Show went from good medieval brutality, battles and political intrigue/skullduggery (with added dragons and tits) to a kind of naff 'battle the living dead' main plot, throwing together these wildly different characters from different kingdoms to fight as a small band. Each one of those leads should be leading their own armies. It's all gone wrong since that little band of them went off north of the wall to capture a live dead one! Reduced a grand scale show to a small scale show.

Somewhere along the way that earlier grand scale and well plotted and patient storytelling has got lost into a little gang of misfits drama.

Should've killed off a few more in this episode too like Grey Worm, Kingslayer, Brienne, The Hound etc or just left them out of it altogether. Too many main characters left. Writers can't write relevant parts for them all effectively as they rush to a story conclusion now.

Still keen to see how they resolve it all, and it's still a good watch, but for me it's lost it's way quite badly mainly by the standard of writing and trying to squeeze too much in at once, so falling down but also this whole whitewalkers stuff which now is suddenly over with, just like that, seems a bit unnecessary in a way. I guess it's part of the tale but it hasn't been explained or written that well, for me. 3 eyed ravens and visions and is the Night King a Taergaryan etc etc.

There was nothing in this last episode to match the drama of The Red Wedding, or Joffreys death, or Neds death or Baelish throwing that mad woman out of the moon window or Walder Frey's death or The Mountain popping Oberyn's head open etc etc. Maybe some of the finer actors like Charles Dance and Aidan Gillen are missed? Jon Snow and Dany's parts were odd and their acting is stiff.

We got a skilful assasin's knifing right at the end which was decent, didn't show how she got herself in range of the Night King past his stooges though. Would've worked better if she'd killed one and taken it's face and approached in disguise as she's done in the past?
