I'm going against the grain, didn't think that was a great episode, but glad the zombie storyline is over and they can now get back to the, um, game of thrones.
I don't think it lives up to previous battle episodes (and they employed some stupid tactics like they've been hanging out with The Walking Dead crew) and the dragon fights were underwhelming.
I did enjoy the final scene though, Arya went full bad ass this episode - finally. I like how they also played up a bit of the theory floating around that Bran was actually the bad guy all along by making it mysterious in that final scene until Arya killed the Night King.
Poor Friendzone, although he lasted longer in the series than I thought he would. For a moment there I thought they'd killed Missandei, but thankfully she was in next weeks preview.
I have no idea what Azor Ahai is???
I agree with all of this. It was a just 60 off mins of a hard watch. Couldn't make out what was going on half the time with the Dragons fighting.
We lost about 5 minutes of recording when a storm came through. It was when the night king raised all the dead again and the surrounded John Snow. Next thing we saw it he had gotten away/ killed them. How did that happen as he was surrounded?
Cool ending though and loved how she swept through and you only saw the breeze take their hair and then BOOM! True-Love got up and clapped! ha ha
So the Night King hit your place too?

Did anyone else get annoyed that annoying kid killed a fucken giant ?
I mean logically it's possible ( weak spot ) but I woulda loved it if the Hound did it instead, he was nearby.
No, I liked the guts and fearlessness of the attack by her.
The hound ended up looking weak when he was giving up when all around weren't

I'm glad she's gone, hated her character immensely.
Yeah true, the Hound did have a few moments when he lost direction but snapped out of it for his old mate Ayra.
Fuck the "mighty" Dothraki weren't worth shit when it came to the crunch.

Awesome stuff, although it did feel a bit anticlimactic with the NK dying without any real info on what he wanted (aside of everyone dead). WTF was Bran doing? is his role over now that the NK is dead? that's the bit that feels like it's drifted or disconnected for me.
Arya, fuck yeah. Loved that she had that period of flight and genuine fear before dropping the NK with that sweet move- definitely a 'fuck yeah' moment!
Absolutely agree with the frustration around how to raise a dragon, then have fuck all idea of how to use it. I get that in the lore they haven't been around for ages, but holy shit they did some dumb shit.
Was really pleased that Theon got redemption, and Jorah was a boss till the end. I did have a few seconds of wondering if daenerys was going to cark it though.
Presume our last Dire wolf is goneski now?

GOT has some epic characters who I love but equally some shitcunts who are a waste of space.
Bran to me is very much the latter. I was waiting for him to bust out something incredible after 10 seasons of being a fucken paperweight who everyone had to drag around but it never happened.

Who died in Game of Thrones’ Battle of Winterfell, and who survived: the full list
As expected, not everyone made it out of “The Long Night” alive.
Great read. My phone rang and had to take a work call so I incorrectly assumed the big woman had died. Definitely watching the episode again......
-
@MN5 I'm hoping that now the NK is gone he can do more - wasn't that bond they had a bit of a handbrake to him using his powers etc? At the very least I'd be keen on Bran doing a back in time 5min precis of the NK and stuff to fully end that arc. But with all the focus on the living that may not happen. Perhaps as part of the battle debrief?
-
pretty good ep, just fucking film it so we can see it cnuts! I watched in the dark and changed the viewing settings...plus, if we couldnt see, how can Dany and Jon see flying around blindly...
Who was that little chick who fucked up the giant, she has been an awesome character...haha @MN5
With all the fan theories about, I was disappointed thinking that Arya might not get to kill the NK given all her ninja training...wonder if it is going to be her or Sansa that sticks it to Cersei?

Jamie.

@Catogrande dont think he wants to go there again...oh you mean kill her, possibly, so many candidates really

The prophecy says that Cersei will die at the hands of her brother so she thinks it's Tyrion....which means it will be Jamie. Or Ayra jumps out of left-field and goes up 2-0.
-
@Catogrande Yeah - got to be the Kingslayer!
Unless it's Arya's direwolf, who is still lurking somewhere, I think?
-
The prophecy is that the Night King is defeated by Azor Ahai (also conflated with the Prince that was Promised in the TV series) - but that didn't happen! Unless Arya is Azor, third time lucky for melissandre (first it was Stannis, then Jon, and last she said you'll close blue eyes so maybe that was pointing Arya as Azor?)
The 'killed by younger brother/sibling' prophecy about Cersei is book only

"A girl" has done well this series, got laid and slayed!
How amazing would that have been in a cinema!! That was just perfect in my opinion,there honestly wasn't one part I didn't enjoy but I'm glad that was all done and dusted in one episode, was on the verge of tears throughout.
Mellisandre redeemed herself somewhat, I always like it when a baddie turns good.
Cannot wait for a tidy up episode next week its bound to slow in pace again as all heads will now turn to Kings Landing shenanigans.
How many dragons left, couldn't quite work out which one was at the end?
-
@RLx31 Think we're down to one dragon. Jon Snow's dragon probably bit the dust and that will be shown next episode. His wolfdog is still alive though and that's all that matters.

@Sneakdefreak https://www.inverse.com/article/55343-game-of-thrones-rhaegal-drogon-viserion-died-how-many-dragons-does-dany-have-left
According to this - there's still two.

Melisandre was pretty fucking cool this one last time, just casually riding up then turning on all the Dothraki swords to flame (amazing shot showing them all light up) then coming out to light up the barrier/moat.
Lots of moaning online about this episode, sure there’s been a lot of hype surrounding the NK and undead but if you seriously thought they were the main threat and protagonist then you haven’t been paying attention enough.
The show and books have been about the Iron Throne, the seat of power and the games that are played out to sit on it.Would have been nice if we lost maybe 1 main character just to add to the shock level but otherwise just sit back and enjoy the amazing visuals no one could see because it was too fucking dark!

Had to watch it a second time last night in pitch black darkness so I could see what the fuck was going on. An enjoyable episode for all the reasons mentioned above.
I realise its fantasy and I should enjoy the ride but I cant help feel the main characters have gone all super hero X-Men style where they just never die and single-handedly kill fucken everyone in their path.
My bullshit detector goes off when a Dothraki army is annihilated in 5 seconds yet a one handed Jamie can fight non stop for an hour and hes just fine. Mind you my bullshit detector has gone off every time John is saved at the last minute from certain death. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old bastard.
