re: Am I the only one pulling for the Night King?

Ep was shite. All these years of prophecy building, all these years of hinting, all these years of tension, going back to the 90s just thrown away so Arya could get a cool badass TV moment. Everything Rhaegar, Blood Raven, and later Bran did was because of prophecy and visions in that they knew that the Prince who was Promised must come from the line of Aerys, and then the show runners throw that all away and have Arya do what tPWWP was supposed to do.

All the hinting that Azor Ahai was Danny, all the shite she went through in the House of the Undying, with Quaithe, with the Red Priests, all of it just thrown out the window so the show runners could have Arya do it.

We got absolutely zero insight in to the motivation of the Others/WWs. Everything was building to show some reason they wanted to kill Bran, was Bran the actual NK? Was he the Night’s King as well? Was he Bran the Builder?

Lol, nah bro, WWs just want to kill cause they bad, that’s it.

Everything Danny did to build this Army going back to the first episode and her getting in with the Dothraki just tossed away, they’re mindlessly gone in the first 10m.

Shitty story. 0/10 story telling. 10/10 television. The show runners just want this thing to be done. In the beginning they showed a lot of devotion and commitment to the characters and plot but they’ve lost that as they’ve run out of books to guide them and it’s painful to see. This ep and the next three will be for the huge swathe of normie watchers who only picked it up after 2015 and they’ll think it’s fricking amazing.

Sad.
