“He ran into my knife 10 times!”

I gotta say I kind of downright enjoy that snobby, book-obsessed a-holes didn’t like the episode. Five GD years of “Hey, just so you know, Bran is the Night King, he’s totally trapped in a time loop.” Just endless smarmy officious nonsense. It was an amazingly epic battle that got rid of the Night King and set the…

On the one hand, I’m glad that Arya’s training and character arc got the pay-off it deserved after running parallel to the main plot for so long. And ultimately I’m in the camp that finds the whole Night King plotline pretty uninteresting to start with, so I’m not too sad about getting half the season saved for the…

The dagger was Valyrian steel, already established as lethal to Walkers.

People crack me the fuck up. Of all the problems with that episode, having the Others and the Night King dispatched that way is spot on for this series.

Here is my problem with the episode (keep in mind I enjoyed it immensely): GRRM’s story, while it has it’s mysteries, is a very detail heavy work. The fact that so few things were explained, and that there were so many cuts away from certain moments in the story frustrated me a bit. Hopefully there is some…

Thank you for acknowledging the music. I am obsessed with it since last night’s episode, but haven’t found it anywhere. I hope I don’t have to wait until the season 8 soundtrack comes out.

Oh my sweet summer child, actually thinking there will ever be any more ASOIAF books published.

I suspect it went like this for Ghost, he saw the giant wall of dead people advancing, thought “nope” and hung a quick left to go hunt some rabbit or something. Once things calmed down he sniffed his way back to Jon.  

None more black.

Bold choice to film the episode entirely in black and darker black.

The Night King doesn’t feel like a villain.  He’s more like a natural disaster, or Godzilla.  I like that he didn’t start explaining himself in a pleasant baritone.

I just now realized that Arya’s questions to Gendry were a job interview, not an expression of jealousy. 

My one big frustration with the conversation around Arya/Gendry having sex is that a lot of people are calling it undermotivated. I think this sort of comment comes off as unintentionally misogynistic. We very rarely complain about men having sex just to have sex — if we were going to do that then Bronn having sex…

Yeah think back to the grand maester telling Sam how to write histories that people will want to read.

Hey guys, has Sansa ever had any consensual sexy times in her entire life? It occurred to me this morning that I don’t think that she has. That is like the saddest thing on this whole tragic punishing show. I can’t even think of who her options are...Podrick? Girl, go get some Podrick before you all die.

I think they need the full on Fargo hats to be honest.

Great fucking episode. All the whiners saying “This is just character porn, nothing happened!” need to lighten up. This was exactly the episode we needed of the last four are going to be the blood bath we are all expecting. God this episode gives me hope for this series truly ending up being great.

People would get alot further with Dany if they just explained some type of context. In Danys defence she has had to swallow alot of world altering events very quickly and with no tangible evidence  from unusual sources

I know that time’s a factor in this final season, but aren’t there some implications for Arya and Gendry’s hookup from an Iron Throne perspective? The series always makes a big deal out of heirs and claims and whatnot, so why wouldn’t a Baratheon/Stark tryst cast a long shadow here?
