After all the criticism here, I started watching the episode with low expectations. Some scenes really blew my mind and overall I think it was amazing. Sure they could have handled some things differently but I swear some of you will complain about almost anything.
The dragon scenes were spectacular, I mean holy shit at that lighting effects.

I honestly kind of hope that that scene of Sansa just freezing while all of her guards get butchered on the other side of the door FINALLY forces a character shift in her. It was clear it affected her, I just hope it didn't make her even more ruthless.
......Those are White Walkers
The undead are wights not white walkers
8 seasons later and we still have to correct people on this? How :\
Killing the NK was the only way this would end since they were losing but the fact that it wasn't some cool plan or a twist and just Arya out of nowhere really fell flat. And Jon screaming at a dragon like an idiot. His character is just an idiot.
I hope Bran was plotting something and there's more to this because for such a big moment it fell flat.
I didn't feel like they outsmarted him or anything like that since it was all so fast. All for shock value.
Edit: I'm still hoping for a curve ball but Sansa vs Dany seems to be the conclusion right now. But how does Bran fit into that?
There needs to be a twist soon. Something.

Because people watch this show on their phone while they're making dinner
Can't see shit
After 8 seasons of buildup. Ironically if Ned was never killed she very likely would've never reached this level. Now it just remains to be seen how she fares against human opponents because that's a whole other thing vs 1 hit kill zombies.
Yeah, that was my thought as well though honestly I didn't think it would be arya at that point. Figured it would be Jon what with all the time spent watching him go in circles around that Dragon
My thoughts is that the dragon's would be attacking into the unknown and the loss of another dragon, at the beginning of a battle would even be more chaotic and heartbreaking. The line of fire would have to be strategically closer to the Dothraki to be safely done.
They (GRRM mostly) set up that dagger as being important from the very beginning. I'm surprised so one thought that Arya would kill the NK when Bran gave her the dagger last season.
Night King in all honor, but there's not one character I want more dead than Cersie. She is and always has been the ultimate antagonist of the series for me.
Me tooo I thought we gonna see so much emotions from him but nah just as useless as a zombie with beautiful smile.
I hope it comes down to Sansa vs Cersei vs Dany vying for the throne. Even better would be Jon and Dany getting offed by and then Sansa vs Cersei. Sansa has far more history with her.

Lies and slander of the highest order.
(I couldn't stay away from Era during the NBA playoffs and the start of the GoT season. I am not that strong.)
LS rises out of the Godswood water hole, nabs the NK with some rusty Valyrian knife and drags him under.
Based on what I've read, no one is upset that Arya killed the NK. They are mostly upset at how she did it.
No, he survived it beacuse he's a white walker
Targaryens aren't fireproof. Dany is special
Best part.Wanted to share this incredible subtitle from last night's episode.
I've vented. Now I'm in a new thread ready for a new episode.
Yes, even though I didn't like the conclusion to the white walker storyline I can say I am pretty damn excited to see what happens next because I truly have no idea where they are going. I always liked the human drama better anyway.

Aryas strength is stealth and surprise. She might do well one-on-one, so long as she gets the kill in before they realize she knows what she's doing.
Look at the sparing match with her and Briene. Moment Briene took the match seriously, she knocked Arya on her ass.

I liked when Missandei was like "stop talking shit about the lady who's out there fighting for your ass"
I think the best part of GoT for me is that I could insert anyone to be the killer of the NK if done right. I couldn't say for certainty who was going to be the hero of the night battle, if there was going to even be one, last episode. I kinda liked that for myself.
Targaryeans in Westeros was much much much later than when he was made. They came to Westeros 400 years prior to the events of the show.

Jon: "So guys, we defeated the Army of the Dead and this ancient evil that was threatening to kill us all"
People south: "Cool story man! Do you have any proof for that?"
Jon: "Well, they all conveniently exploded into tiny pieces, so... there are a lot of people dead that were alive yesterday?"
Jon.
He left Dany, Sam, and the others to fend for themselves because he knew he was needed elsewhere.
Does anyone have any info on how long they shot for the 5th episode? The 40 minute doc on hbo they said they shot for 3 months at night just for this one so im curious if there are any other big episodes left.
Jon trying to get to the courtyard but the dragon (who looked fucking sweet with the fire coming out of his bitten neck) blocking him was pure Dark Souls.
Honestly this isn't what I expected from GoT.
It use to be so brutal no one survives every character you think its protagonist they die all pf the sudden from wars , assassinations and such.
But the winter battle the most hyped up battle in the series 90% of protagonists survive. They definitely went way too easy this time.

Cersei luring Dany and Jon and their entourage into the throne room and then blowing up the Red keep with wildfire is definitely her plan, right? As she sails off somewhere else with Euron
She has one effective move

Yeah. For me it was the portrayal. If there had to be a fight past the WWs and if it didn't look so cheesy it would've been fine. It was just written to make the WW & NK incredibly fucking dumb so Arya could do cool shit. Her being the one to kill him was fine.
Let the idea that Dany is a decoy and not an actual Targaryen come true pls :P
Nah, there's several scenes throughout the show where they've been shown to be immune to fire all types of fire.
I doubt she'd let them into the throne room.
