sergie's no1 fan Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 We always build a show up then knock it down. Initial reactions from that episode on here was OMFG. It's great entertainment, we will all be watching next week.Of course we will. We have been told not to expect the happy ending we all thought might have happened. So now the NK is gone (or is he [emoji848] *) the only outcome preventing a happy ending now is Cersei still being on the throne at the end having wiped out all the 'goodies'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Finally watched it last night and only read the last couple of pages here so sorry if it's been covered but there was so much sillyness going on. Battle starts with about 3 million white walkers all sprinting at Usain Bolt pace towards the good guys, collisions aplenty, bloodbath. Then Jon Snow tries to sneak up on the Night King, who raises about 500 dead around Jon. Jon stands there and the whites very slowly and in single file try to take him out while he slays them. Perhaps I've missed something which explains this, but the dead seem to pick and choose the situations they can run in and the situations they need to walk slowly like zombies, funnily enough always to the convenience of who they want to keep alive. I thought the way it was shot was shite too, at first I thought there was something up with my TV but the kind of slow motion/fade effect they put on most of the battle scenes just made it really hard to watch. Was the identity of the Night King explained? Seems extremely underwhelming that they've built this c**t up for the entire show and he's deid at the first battle. I've probably missed something major which explains who the Night King is mind you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only explanation is seeing a random guy getting a knife put in his heart by the children of the forest, in one of Brans vision things. That's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. Perhaps the theory that he's no actually deid will come true then and we'll get a clearer explanation. I hope not, but it doesn't make any sense not to explain who it is. Or is it just a total fucking random? Bit shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show runners seem to be aware theres swathes of people on forums like these who'll explain things, so they dont bother doing it on the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the people complaining about the episode had actually watched the previous 7 seasons they might have actually understood what was going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 May have already been posted, but a professor from the US Army College has reviewed the Battle of Winterfell and the relative military strategies from an IR perspective.

D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'd have thought it was obvious by now that the ending of the show won't be nearly as bad as the 'if you think it'll be a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention' crowd have been making out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
