LudicrousSpeed said: Amazing episode. They really do rival movies with the music and camera work in these big battle episodes. They’ve all been pretty good. When the Dothraki first run up on the undead and they’re running crazy like WWZ zombies, that was shocking.
I loved the end, doesn’t bother me a bit how it happened. Better than Jon somehow living through a battle with all those undead, AND a dragon, and then saves Bran. If any of you watch reaction videos, check out the Burlington Bar video on the reaction to the end, it’s amazing.
Also, I have no faith in GRRM ever finishing the books. |
The cinematics were the top-notch quality expected from Sapotchnik, but the story was poor.
Jon lived through the battle to scream at Viserion's face at the end, after flying blind half the episode along with Dany. Dude literally didn't do a thing. The writers obviously didn't know what to do with the dragons even after the winter storm nerf.
I'm OK with Arya being the one, just not the timing and pacing of the plot. Imagine if half of the Return of the King was about the Scouring of the Shire... I mean, what can Jack Sparrow and the Queen with no elephants do against Arya, Bran, the dragons etc. She has nothing to counter the three-eyed raven and the scorpion crossbows are merely thorns on the hide of the dragons.
Another inconsistency was undead breaking through the granite of the crypts while before they were safely hauled across half the continent in a wooden box.
