"Naath, I'd like see the beaches again"
"Then I will take you there"
"My people are peaceful, they cannot protect themselves"

This conversation makes no sense to me. Ah well, with these plans for the future they'll be dead anyway, or maybe the only two non-white named characters will end up on the throne.

The guy from "Battle of the Bastards" is directing the next episode, yay, I'm sure the battle will make a lot of sense. Should've gotten the guy from the loot train napalm battle instead.

Battle of the Bastards sucked ass, they should have gotten the guy who did the battle at the wall at the end of whatever season that was.

The caravan battle was definitely the best in recent memory. Battle of the bastards, while overall pretty shitty at least starts off really well, with the long oneshot of jon running around the chaotic battlefield, plot armor as strong as ever. "Send word!" *dies*

Miguel Sapochnik - Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards (BotB started off with Mereen battle too), and the upcoming Winterfell battle. He's directing the 5th episode so probably another battle.

Neil Marshall - Wall battle

Matt Shakman - Caravan battle

Ok so I guess there is a 50/50 chance the Winterfell Battle wont be retarded, I like BoH.

I don't think you can blame the director too much for the Battle of the Bastards. There was this whole thing, a documentary or something (?), where the director talks about just how unreasonable the demands and time frames D&D gave him were, and how their requests kept changing, etc. D&D sound extremely incompetent every time I hear about them doing something. But I bet the director had way more time and funds now to do as he pleases with the battle, so we'll see.

And yes, that conversation was fucking weird. Also the next line, "my people aren't, we will protect you" presumes that all the Unsullied will go there with them??? Like what the fuck? Is the entire Unsullied army just going to abandon Daenerys to go on a vacation with their commander and his love interest? And then STAY there to protect the people of Naath? From who? What's going ON with these writers?

Also why is nobody talking to Bran if he's supposed to be able to see everything that's happening and has happened? Like, I don't know, about how the Night King was defeated before and what kind of things it can do and what it's after, etc., etc?

I just hope for another episode showing white people being dirty racists to their saviors, women discussing how men are SO easy to manipulate and how well they've done despite all the evil sexism, little girls showing that they can be brave warriors too (two scenes like that like last episode pls), barbarians inventing feminism and demonstrating Women Can Be Knights Too, and, most of all, I DEFINITELY do not want to see a single man who isn't subservient to women. Please Game of Thrones, you've done so well so far, don't introduce a man with his balls still attached. Oh and if we can have some more Daenerys Mary Sue moments in the battle that'd be swell. Not that I have to request that, it's a given.

I also like how Brienne of Tarth is in charge of one flank of the army, despite never commanding anyone in her life, and there being no indication of her even knowing anything about warfare. They have men there who've commanded armies in multiple wars, but alas, they're, well, men.

Fucking hell this show's gone downhill so much in the past 3-4 seasons it's actually incredible.

I think that Tyrion will have the solution of how to defeat the WW, since he was the only one to actually listen to what Bran has to say.

But yeah, other than that, S8 is a huuuuuge let down so far.

I swear to god, modern world is trying to make us feel bad for having a dick between our legs

Yeah, that is what you get when you introduce superpowers, you have to explain the limitations, otherwise not utilizing them to their fullest is just a glaring plothole. It could be pretty easy, maybe accessing events that involve the Night King are a massive risk since he is clearly some counter-greenseer that is aware of Bran, maybe Bran can only access events of which he knows when and where exactly they happened. Both reasonable explanations, but you gotta state these things.

I still have hopes that GRRM had a great ending in mind early in the process of writing, clearly he got lost in the plot himself, but he had some long range lines set up. Maybe the show writers have some great idea from GRRM's notes to work with and I will somehow be astonished and satisfied by the ending. Part of me fears that GRRM did not really get beyond the "Ice and Fire" being Jon and Dany thing and there is nothing left in his notes. The entire Night King is already a bit of a lackluster final villain for a show that had many great morally complex characters. So far he is just a force of evil, like Sauron, he just wants to turn the world to shit, okay riveting.
