It was dark yeah but the hard cuts is what threw me off more, sometimes esp. the dragon scenes, it was just kinda hard to follow along with what was going on.
I can't lie, was disappointed in this episode...just way too many conveniences and the plot armor was thick as hell in this one, more so than a lot of other episodes. With the rules they've established, there's no way Brienne, Jaime, Pod, Sam, Gendry, etc. should've made it out.
I'm one of the few though that has thought if you're going to push them as this ever looming threat that comes to fruition and they're insurmountable and always adding numbers with the dead...just go all the way with it. Have them sack Winterfell, he brings everyone back, and they go to King's Landing.
I really think they backed themselves into with the whole White Walkers and Night King...in the end it was just like like eh well what was the point lol.
Another big question I have is that if Arya was always destined to kill TNK and Melisandre knew this, what was the point of bringing Jon back...? To rally the troops to fight the WWs? To take the throne?
