Arya has been training to kill people. The Night King has been portrayed as an unstoppable force of nature who got taken out at the first sign of resistance without any explanation. Additionally, Arya had NO WAY to sneak up on him like she did. Additionally, in pure storytelling terms, Arya killing the Night King lacks any narrative sense or catharsis. It would be as though Colin Creevey killed Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter. Cool and unexpected? Sure. Satisfying? Absolutely not.This is not true. Despite the series' flaws as of late Arya has been literally training to kill people the ENTIRE series. Sure, she didn't have NK on her list, but her doing it makes perfect sense given the story of the dagger as well. It was meant to kill Bran, gets given to Arya, comes all the way back around to kill the NK who is meant to kill Bran. Arya being a master of stealth now plays into it as well. Jon, nor any other character would have gotten anywhere close to the NK.
He learns of the news from Sansa and decides to ride south. I don't think he is going back to help the side that is winning and wants him dead.Seems like a whole lot of jumping to conclusions, but I truly hope you're right.
So the all the stuff about Azor Ahai, Jon being resurrected, them getting dragons to fight the Walkers and Jon getting to ride one, Jon having multiple face offs against the White Walkers, him being the one to rally everyone against the Night King, his staredown with the Night King.... all of that was, what, misdirection? Sure, that's a polite word for it. I call it a waste of our time, in retrospect.This is not true.

The way they're rushing this mad queen plot and having everyone betraying her for tenuous reasons is making me a Dany stan recently.Yeah, it wasnt awesome, but I think there are lots of very salty DanyStans
Read the OP.There was a campaign to spam it with one star reviews on reddit and whatnot, due to the leaks about it, it had over 700 1star ratings hours before it aired
Keep in mind, they probably think
Jaime killing Cersei
is some kind of TWIST, so they don't want to give it away in post-episode interviews before it happens.
Even though it is the single most logical place for his character to go and the only thing he has left to do in the story.
I'm on my phone, kinda hard to type this all out but:Like what? I purposefully stay away from these discussions, both for spoiler reasons and just my own personal enjoyment, but i'm curious.
I really liked last night's episode all around. The only complaint I could imagine to semi-agree with is that they weakened Brienne a bit... Oh yeah, and that Bronn's sudden appearance was pretty dumb. lol
They have a psychic bond basically. Ghost isn't just you know...regular dog.
I'm just assuming Hound threw her in my head. Makes it funnier.
And then have a Varys spinoff series where he is Kazuma KiryuJust burn this shit to the ground, and then Varys can open an orphanage or something.
surprised the whole season isn't rated the lowest since it started. I really have not cared at all and last night was absolutely garbage
Every season has been worse than the last since 4 and onwards.surprised the whole season isn't rated the lowest since it started. I really have not cared at all and last night was absolutely garbage
If we could harness nerd rage into a form of energy, I think we'd be able wean ourselves off of fossil fuels almost immediately.
I think 3 (4 if you count S5, which I do) consecutive seasons full of dumbassery is finally having an effect, even on viewers it wouldn't before.
You've still got an enormous casual viewerbase which goes to bars and shit and screams at everything epic and awesome, but now you have a lot of people who see the amount of stupid, illogical shit that happens in the show and are finally starting to question it and realise how shallow the show has become.
Even the official GOT reddit is shitting on it and that's unheard of.
Beyond the Wall having a 9.2 is insanity though. One of the most agregiously stupid episodes of Television I've ever watched.
That's because the plot leaked and footage did too. In fact the whole season leaked.No one else is, so I'm saying it again
And you don't recuperate the score, after being bombed with 700 1star reviews, in just 16 hours.
Every season has been worse than the last since 4 and onwards.
6 was better than 5.Every season has been worse than the last since 4 and onwards.
Funny co-incidence: 6 adapted a lot of book material.
Every season has been worse than the last since 4 and onwards.
This is just nerdrage and review bombing. Online user reviews and polls are rarely a good metric of anything.
Again, D&D explicitly said he's returning to her in the post show. They also said Dany "kinda forgot" the ballista and the Iron Fleet.
It kind of feels like it deserves it. To me, it feels like the writing has really gone to shit this season.
Hmm, I wonder if that's because since season four D&D has had more creative freedom to veer away from the books? Although that's mostly because they had no other choice but to.Every season has been worse than the last since 4 and onwards.
Fastball special? I'd buy it.I'm just assuming Hound threw her in my head. Makes it funnier.
Most certainly.Hmm, I wonder if that's because since season four D&D has had more creative freedom to veer away from the books? Although that's mostly because they had no other choice but to.
Beyond the Wall aired 2 years ago. The Last of the Starks aired 12 hours ago. BTW has had its score tempered by more forgiving fans weighing in over countless months. The score for TLOTS only comes from the most engaged and reactionary fans.
that was the worst rated ep til last night lolYa'll need to rewatch Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken if you think this is the worst ep.
