sne Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Well it's just dramatic effect isn't it. You just have to take it for what it is and enjoy the spectacle. Be it Jon Snow surrounded yet again, dumpster Glenn or being trapped in space and saved the second before you run out of air or whatever. At least it wasn't space Leia.

If they killed a majority of the charchters off they would have absolutely no chance in that battle. Be mor emajor deaths in this next battle I will almost guarantee it. Jamie and the hound are most certainty goners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2019 I really don't understand why they didn't have Jon and the NK having a sword fight by Bran with the NK nearly killing Jon, then Arya pops up in the manner that she did right at the last second? The whole series has been pointing at a Jon vs NK battle and it's just kinda lame how it all eventually happened. Also, how can the ice dragons fire thing knock down a whole **** wall but can't take out Jon whilst he's hid behind a rock? WTF? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One really can't go into stuff like that if you are trying to enjoy the show (or most films) Just roll with it Perhaps with the dragon having a bunch of holes bitten off in his neck he was less powerful Edited April 30, 2019 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that! because it was built up as jon vs the NK and jon has spent years on about him and made him his entire life and his mission...and the NK doesn't give a **** who he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Why didn't they have Arya using her face-changing ability to sneak through the army of the dead, rather than just appearing from nowhere? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely surrounded by newly risen dead, then somehow makes it away unscathed (and unexplained) to pop up somewhere else ten minutes later. That wasn't unexplained. The dragon came in and cleared him a path by wiping everyone out. The problem was it happened a little bit too late in that he'd have already been swamped by then. If the dragon had come straight away as soon as the dead were about to attack it would have been better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She reunites with Jon earlier in the series at pretty much the exact same spot where she kills the NK. Jon asks her “how did you sneak up on me like that?” Once she has her ‘not today’ moment, she runs off knowing where Bran is and obviously knows a ‘secret way’ to get to him without being seen until the last second. Plus if it was a dark as it was on my TV, they wouldn’t have seen her in a high vis and a pair of LA Gear light ups! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
