so who the fuck is actually dead?

Jorah, Ed and Theon = deaf af

anyone else bite it that I'm forgetting?

Sam really should have died like holy fuck, the man was on the ground 4 times at least
Also convenient how every commoner dies and its just 15 main characters and a dragon who survive

Overall super good episode, the sudden Arya KO of the Night King caught me off-guard big time

Barik and red woman too. oh and little bear

Well I certaintly didn't see that one coming. Hot damn!

Great episode. Holds up with the quality we expect from the battles.

[Furrnox]

Initally Game of Thrones was about you know mortal beings now somehow everybody turned into immortal super heroes.
The writing has become so incredibly generic it's boring, also I guess the prohepcy was bullshit since no prince got them out of the long night.

Am I the only one who is just pissed at how the boys handled the siege?
We have a row of spikes, a wall and other things to make choke-points against our numerically superior foe. Let's have our most elite force STAND IN FRONT OF IT AND DIE by getting overrun whilst we are outnumbered 1000 to 1??? If they had gone behind their spikes from the start, the walkers would've piled onto the spikes and made their little bridges. Yes,they would still have to fight a lot of choke-points. But, this would be better than fighting a sea of enemies in the open, when you can barely see the enemy coming. The walkers would then also be in range for the archers on the walls. And with the unsullied armed with spears they could hold them off for much longer than whatever the fuck that was.
But first, let's have our dothraki boys yolo into our enemy to add to their numbers because we weren't outnumbered enough already.
And oh yeah. Let's put our trebuchets in front of the boys and USE THEM ONCE

Then the actual battle is just really close up shots so you can barely see what is happening, which GoT has done before. I suppose it shows how chaotic a battle is, but on the other hand you have no real clue what is going on and it makes for very conflicting scenes.
In one shot you see 500 walkers charging at someone, and in the next shot that person chops down 3 and is fine. Where did those other 497 wights go?
You know there is an endless horde of dead cunts coming, but sammyboy gets knocked down 100x and then somehow has time to get up and run his fat ass inside. Did those thousands of wights just decide to give him a head start or something.
I know it doesn't matter in the end because the result of the fight would still be the same, with the Night King dying and all that, but the whole battle was just very disappointing and unenjoyable for me.

Also feel like a lot more main characters should've died.
Feels very convenient that Brienne Pod Jaime Tormund Gendry somehow were the only survivors of the front lines.
Daenerys landing her fucking dragon???
Jorah coming out of fucking nowhere when he was last seen on the front line??
This stuff doesn't bother me that much normally, but it does when it happens a million times in one episode.

Idk, this was one of the worst episodes imo.

Game of thrones was proposed as a red pill to government but has ended as a feminist love letter to the Normie masses.

They are trying to make a "epic" (in American) / "cheesy" ( any other country) visual story.

Well the whole strategy revolved around luring the Night King out so that they could 2v1 him with dragons. But then Daenarys attacked too early after the Dothraki died.

The plot (armor) thickens..

Spoiler

I 100% agree. Whoever thought of their strategy going into this better have been killed in the battle. Lets give the dothraki flaming swords so at least it looks cool as they suicide charge into an army they cant even see. And then, adding onto the whole chokepoint situation, why didnt they reserve a whole lot more people to get on those walls which is clearly the best place to defend in a siege? I get that from a story perspective they want their ups and downs for the heroes and so on, but after losing the battle outside the walls they could have at least made a better effort inside the walls..
I'm not sure about this one, but I thought in the last episode they mentioned something about using Bran as bait to ambush the Night King? Seems like the only one following that plan was Arya and I guess that worked out. And I mean, I knew Theon was a beta boi but did he have to die like that? holy shit

Yeah, but you'd still want to come out of that battle with as many men as possible right?
The fact that the plan is to bait the Night King doesn't mean you should just disregard the siege itself and throw away lives.

Yeah, when I saw the "strategy" last episode I was hoping they didn't show the whole plan to keep the suspense up. Or that Bran or Tyrion would somehow come up with a different plan. But no, that was the actual plan and in the end they don't even stick to that plan.
Didn't mind Theon's death that much. It was very cliche, but the way he died there wasn't very important to me at that point. His whole redemption arc has now finally come to a close.

At the same time though, they didn't expect to survive the siege no matter what. The problem is they wanted the Night King to attack, otherwise he would have just sat there and waited to starve them out right.

anyways, looking at the trailer for the next episode there are thousands of unsullied that magically popped out of the ground.

haven't seen a single unsullied in the trailer for the next episode tho??
edit:fuck me nvm

but yea agreed with price on the strategy thing, they were all pretty sure they were gunna die and their only chance would be to look #weak so the night king would step in
but overall the atmosphere around that episode was incredible, during the whole thing i was really stressed, but if there's one thing im disappointed about its the heroes who survived. had put my money on atleast grey worm+brienne+theon+jorah+some other ppl and at the end only 2 died nugga what
