This was way worse than I dared to expect. No twist, trucks full of plot armor, only Edd, Beric and Jorah dying(?), no Azor Azai, no noteworthy Lord of Light, no Bran plot whatsoever, no magic protection in the crypts or other Stark lore, they forgot they had Ghost in the episode, no clear effect of Valyrian steel and obsidian, "godly assassin murdering entire families" Arya being a massive pussy, Night King being completely uninteresting and dying like a wet fart.

It looked good, some parts of the battle was well done, but good action movies like John Wick still bore me, and so did this. I'll be watching the rest of the show at 1.5x speed just to get through it. Scrolling through some quotes from D&D make it clear I was a fool for expecting anything more once the source material ran out, they are complete idiots who should have been kept far away from a franchise like this.

The D&D quotes reminded me of the shit they pulled last season, like Sansa not telling Jon about the Vale army because the actress "guessed (but didnt know(!)) it was more dramatically satisfying." Such awful fucking writers that ruined one of the best TV shows and turned a nuanced show with good dialogue into.... this.

this is peak western culture when you think about it

Middle class yuppies, what did you expect?

When you dont have to worry about the basic stuff, like food and shelter, you start worrying about things that dont matter, like GoT for example.

Modern life has made most people soft and acting like retards for minor stuff.

I cringed so hard watching the video, I had to close it.

Fucking yuppies...

Great episode full of great action and tear-jerking moments.

This episode was pathetic on so many levels and I'd love to write an essay on it, but Xant already mentioned pretty much everything I wanted to say.

I feel like they picked up 8 seasons of white walkers lore and just fucking flushed it down the toilet. What was the point of it all? I thought that was the main fucking plot of the entire series and this is how it all ends? To reiterate Dave, I feel robbed.

And what's the point of Bran? He hasn't done anything, he just went for a nap for the entire duration of the battle. Why was everything so dark and foggy? I couldn't see shit.

This is all so incomprehensibly stupid.

Why. Literally why, on earth, are nearly all the main characters alive ? Why isn't the prophecy of Azor Ahai a thing ? Why would the nk raise undeads after they've been killed by dragonglass/valyrian steel ? Why do they use light cavalry to charge directly, in the dark, toward a far, far superior enemy ? While the 3rd episode had some great, aesthetically pleasing plans (ex : the trenches lighting up, the plan where the dragons are between the clouds, the dothraki charge to name a few), so many things make no sense. Many times in the episode, you could see characters (Theon, Daenerys, Jon Snow) getting swarmed by enemies, yet they always were in a 1v1 in the next plan. Like some others said, the show is nothing more but a 6/10 at this point, compared to the 11/10 at the very start.

Oh, and we learned nothing about the night king, but who fucking cares, he's dead haha, right ? What a fucking waste.

Did he also raise fallen undead? If I remember correctly he only raised defenders who were killed by the undead.

Might need confirmation on that one then, since it'd actually make more sense if it happened that way.

IKR I swear I saw Sam with like 4-5 wights on him with he on his back when Snow ran by looked at him wishing he could help but ran by, but when it all ended he was safe and sound. He got Edd killed because he refused to go down to the crypts like Jon wanted because "he killed the first wight with dragonglass" by luck mind you but was out there all scared and stuff. Edd stops to help him off his back and dies for it.

One thing not a lot of people mention is how much the DIALOGUE has regressed as well. When they were still using GRRM's lines there was some great dialogue, the characters even spoke differently, now everyone talks like a modern American and the dialogue is extremely simplistic and sit-com like.
