Now don't get me wrong, this episode gave us some very great moments and visuals, but a lot of nonsensical ones too. For example, the start was really done well. The quiet suspense while everyone waits in fear, Melisandre's awesome entrance, the flaming sickles and the Dothraki charge, and their lights being extinguishes, all very well done.
Showing the greatest warriors of the world being so easily slaughtered really gave a great sense of hopelessness of what was about (at least we though so at the time) to come. And then perhaps one of the most chilling images in cinema/TV history happened. The army of the dead charging forward as a tsunami of countless wights filled our screen and seemingly obliterated all our heroes who were stationed in the front lines.
That was it. Jaime, Brienne, Sam, Tormund, and Podrick were all surely dead. But no.... they all survive somehow except for Edd. After the initial attack, they really failed big time with showing the scale of the army of the dead. Pretty much every time we see the heroes fighting wights after that, they are in smaller groups. There's supposed to be an impossible amount of wights, that's the whole point. They are meant to be vastly outnumbered and an unwinnable fight. And then whenever a character is surrounded by wights in what looks like an impossible situation to escape from, they cut away to something else and then come back, with the amount of wights much smaller. They basically did this whenever there wasn't some other deus ex machina dragon save at the last moment in order to save a hero. Time and time again, throughout the rest of the episode, until right near the end we lose Jorah. Absolutely ridiculous. Ahh it was just so badly done.
I know man. I'm devastated. I was so pissed off after last night's episode. All that slow buildup over 7 years, all that foreshadowing, all that prophesizing, all that time Jon, Bran, Sam etc spent training and preparing for this very moment, all of it wasted in favor of cheap thrills and fan service BS. They pretty much singlehandedly ruined the show. I don't see much point in continuing.
And it's not just the fact that they killed the Night King so early and anticlimactically, but just how bad the episode was in general, not just with writing but in the production too, which I would have thought for sure would be the one thing that is solid, as it always has been. But no, despite having the guy who gave us Hardhome and BotB, a much shorter season AKA more attention for each episode, a bigger budget, and an extra year to get it made, they somehow could not pull it off and what we got was a very poorly filmed and edited mess. I don't understand where all this time and money went.
I don't think he would. Seems like a pretty poor attempt at creating some additional drama.
I dunno. I try not ever take what the cast/writers etc say as truth. Why would they want to spoil their own show? It doesn't make sense. If I was running a show or movie, and I was asked such a questions, I would say whatever I needed to say to keep the surprise a secret.
Anyways, it's not really necessary for him to talk I guess. But if he has a confrontation with some of our characters I think it'd be cool to hear what he had to say.
Oh wow, you're one of those gullible morons. It's sad that your type is still around over 9 years after the show ended. Tell me, have you even seen the show? I want to know if you are one of the idiots who saw the full show, but just didn't understand the ending or if you never watched it at all and just heard about what the idiots who saw it but misunderstood it were complaining about and mistook is as fact?
Sounds cool. I reckon a better justice and the way I hope she dies is that at the end of the show, after the threats are all dealt with and the new leader is chosen, she is executed in the square of King's Landing where Ned was.
Wait, what? Which part is horrendous? Dany as Queen and Sansa as her hand? I don't care for that part, nor does it seem like that will happen.
Brienne as Commander of the Kingsguard and Arya as the Spymaster I can see happening though.
"Woke"? What the hell does that mean?
Perhaps in the finale Jaime and Brienne's swords will be smelted and reforged back into Ice for whomever becomes the new Warden of the North? Gendry could be the one to do it.
[quote]* Arya will kill Gendry - maybe Sansa will make a claim for the Iron Throne? Anyway, Gendry, as Robert’s bastard, will have to be killed off to avoid any more civil war.[/quote]Why? Gendry is a good guy. There's also been no suggestion that he has any interest in the throne.
[quote]* Beric will be killed by the Night’s King and The Hound will be revealed as the chosen one of the Lord of Light. He’ll use his powers to ignite Beric’s sword.[/quote]Agreed. I like it.
[quote]* The Onion Knight will kill the Red Lady after she finds out her life mission has been completed with the Hound.[/quote]Sounds okay to me.
[quote]* The Night’s King will use his powers to either control or possess the Mountain. Then we’ll get the Mountain vs Hound duel.[/quote]Interesting. Isn't the Mountain already somewhat similar to a wight? So he'll become a double wight?
[quote]* Bronn and Jaimie will kill each other.[/quote]What for?
[quote]* Jon, Greyworm, Missandei, Jorah, Theon, Bran, Cercei and her gang, etc will all die.[/quote]Why/how do you think Jon, Jorah, Theon and Bran will die?
[quote]* Tyrion will inherit Bran’s Three-Eyed Raven abilities[/quote]Interesting. Maybe that off screen conversation they had was foreshadowing.
[quote]* The leadership of Westeros will be held by Dany, with Sansa (her Hand), Brienne (head of Kingsguard) and Arya taking over the spymaster role.[/quote]That sounds pretty cool. Not so sure about the first 2, but I totally agree with brienne, and Arya. I hadn't thought of Arya taking over the spymaster role. That's brilliant. I've been wondering for a while what purpose Arya even serves on the show any more now that she avenged the Red Wedding and killed Littlefinger. Maybe it's for that. I like it.
Lol what would you know? Stick to your MCU, kid.
Point being? Being in more things doesn't make you more talented, dumbass. And winning "golden globes" doesn't either.
I already know and have stated that Fox and Holloway haven't been in much or had luck with roles. That's got nothing to do with acting talent. It's okay them not being in anything any more. Their best work is behind them. There will likely never be a show as good as LOST again.
What's that supposed to mean? Seeing someone in more things means they have more talent? What kind of dumbass logic is that?
Matthew Fox did some decent stuff post LOST but has since kind of retired from film and TV and Josh Holloway has been in a bunch of stuff but hasn't had good luck with roles.
Where have you seen Hamm anyway? I don't see him anywhere doing anything worthwhile.
Going by casts from other popular TV shows, probably not very successful. At least quality wise. I'm sure most of them will still be in many forgettable things and will do enough to have a "career", but none of them are likely ever to be in something as good as GoT again.
Yeah I found that scene very interesting. And when she said she'd be back, the look he gave her when he said "MY lady" suggested that her coming back would be a bad thing for her. Always found that weird, as I don't know why he would think that. So maybe you're right, that he is privy to some very important information like an ancient prophecy.
Oh true, very cool. Seems like they'll be fighting alongside each other too.

How are they making it look like that?
That would be terrible.
Could be. I can also see her surviving the whole thing and becoming the first womans Kingsguard for whoever ends up ruling in the end.
This episode was named after her afterall, wasn't it? "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms". Seems kind of odd to name an episode in the final season after a secondary character. Perhaps she is much more important than we realise.
