It was well done for what it was, but I was expecting something...more interesting.

If you didn’t actually see him die then he lived. Any other major character that died you saw.

That episode was work to watch.

I thought at some point that at least everyone was going to die.

The episode on its own was truly excellent. I had a tiny bit of trouble believing all of the 1 vs 100 fights would last more than half a second, but I can get over that.

I expected more major deaths, but the ones we did have were well done. And the tension, my god the tension.

My problem with the whole thing is that I have trouble caring about the war to the south. But I suppose there was fair symmetry in the first season between the introduction to the white walkers and the introduction to kings landing. And the subsequent escalation to total **** both story lines took, so it makes some sense that the white walkers get 3 the south gets 3.

But I still have trouble exiting from my mind that this was it. The rest of it is a foregone conclusion. I don’t know who ends up on the throne but it kind of feels like it doesn’t matter. The big threat is over now.

I really thought they would make an escape from Winterfell and head south. In fact, I kept waiting for a dragon to blaze a path southward. Oops.

But whatever. I’m strapped in for the ride so let’s roll.

the whole show was about the game of thrones. Not defeating the Night King. Only in the last couple of seasons was it even in heavy rotation for screen time.

there are going to be major plot twists we don’t see coming or expected in any way according to everyone associated with the show. I don’t think Arya killing the NK instead of John is not what they mean. That means it’s still coming.

Golden Company
Iron Bank
Lord of the Light
Surprise ancestry (Tyrion?)
WTF is up with Bronn/Pod/Tyrion conversations?
Bran and Tyrion conversation
Varys has been awful quiet

None of that is anywhere near as epic as a battle against the dead. I'm preparing myself to be let down pretty severely at this point.
