Once the NK was engaged, the only way to “realistically” end the episode or at least the battle, was to kill him off. There was no reasonable way to hold him off for a retreat South and that’s not what Northerners are about anyway. And if he wasn’t killed, there is no way any living could survive. I can understand why some have some gripes with the episode but I though it was awesome. I thought there was a semblance of realism in the NK losing his only huge war. Kind of like a number one seed getting knocked out in OT of the first round. I though the big twist was the fact there was no big twist. How often does anything go to plan on GOT?
