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.

They probably won’t even have Tyrion or Jamie kill Cersei. They didn’t have the guts to have Jon or Danny kill each other a la Azor Ahai. The’ll probably just have Cersei kill herself and blow up the thrown with wildfire or something. F these showrunnners.

This is what happens when you dont have the books completed for this universe and when you have a universe as complex as martin's.

Did it fail to answer some questions people have wanted answers to for a long time? Yeah
Did it play it safe AF with the characters? Yeah
Are the prophesies of azor ahai meaningless on the show? Yeah
Was deus ex Arya retarded? Yeah
But were you expecting some deep and winding answer to it all? Dabid and Dabid have already proven without book material, alls they can do is make average to subpar episodes with plot holes. For instance, wtf happened in the hall with the hound, melisandre, and the whites? How did they not die there?
I found it to be a decent episode because I was not expecting the motive for the whites to be revealed, much less make sense. I expected them to play it safe with the characters.
You had your expectations way too high after the last couple seasons. After they butchered stannis' character and had him burn his daughter you should've known.
I can appreciate the dothraki dying so fast because it's supposed to show how dangerous the whites are.
Battle still doesn't top helms deep for me. Way too many quick camera cuts

Because they wanted to destroy the living and the Three Eyed Raven is the memory of the world. Kill him and it's like the living never existed at all.
Bran literally explained that the week before. Do you even pay attention when you're watching?
You must be real fun at parties.
