Could the Lord of Light not just have binned him out the first time he died and just put all his efforts into making sure that Brienne or Gendry happened to be standing in that particular doorway at that time instead? Hell, just tell Melisandre to set a fire in that doorway after Arya runs through it. Job done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are on a magical island, only this time you don't start out in a wheelchair and get your legs back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 It's not a bad episode, technically for a TV episode it's crazy what they achieve, the scale of it is incredible, it's just let down by stupid stuff*, spots of bad writing, inability to establish believable peril and then I think more than anything else not being what people wanted it to be They have to close bran / the night king off properly rather than thinking that's job done but they didn't have to do it mid battle *the stupidest thing for me is when the dead stop before the lot trench and everyone just watched them, they break through and it's "oh shit we better shoot arrows at them and man the walls" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 That’s my main issue with the episode - there’s so much stupid. However, I did read that Jon doesn’t scream in the dragon’s face for the sake of it; it’s blocking the entrance to the wood and he’s shouting “Gooo! Go! Go!” to Arya, distracting it so she can get past. I’ve watched it back and it’s plausible. I’m just not sure if it’s giving the writers too much credit based on much of the rest of the episode. I hope that there turns out to be some significance to Bran warging right up until the Night King arrived in the wood and the prolonged look between the two of them. But I doubt it. In that moment they had me expecting a bombshell - the Night King speaking or Bran greeting him by his real (familiar) name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) The battle was a bit Penelope Pitstop. People surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered and about to be overrun 5 minutes later still hopelessly outnumbered and about to be overrun. It's also so implausible that the whitewalkers are so powerful and quick they can cut a man to pieces before he knows they are there most of the time, can snuff out a Dothraki full on charge in a matter of seconds yet in a battle they can have 5 of them pin a man to a wall and for some reason barely lay a finger on him. However as a whole the episode I thought was breathtaking. So immense, it would wouldn't have been out of place in any large budget film, for a TV episode quite astonishing. Yes too dark (in a literal sense) but this is a problem with many shows and films. The Dothraki charge WAS electric and so atmospheric with the seemingly unstoppable mass of flames heading to the enemy then the lights winking out. The inhuman self sacrifice to create a bridge over the flames, the bringing back alive of the original dead AND your own dead. Quite epic.

Would you be disappointed with GOT ending in a similarly spectacular way as The Matrix..? Perhaps one of the greatest pieces of visual media in modern times.
