Here we go....
This can't be the last we see of the Night King, right?

The focus is (and should be) on wrapping up the story and concluding the journey. The shocks don't matter anymore.

I would be surprised, and disappointed, if there was not at least one "holy shit" moment the next few weeks.

OH MY GOD

Contender for best episode of TV ever

This was absurd

I had high expectations for this episode and it exceeded it by leaps and bounds

Still catching my breath, was hoping for a little more white walker fight action, but that was still pretty epic. Most of the episode was dark as hell though, need to adjust the brightness a bit on my TV next time I watch it.

Are we shocked that she handed Gendry a vaguely phallic drawing?

Spoiler: show

Isn’t that the weapon that will kill the Night King and / or undead dragon?

this was my first thought

I don’t know what I am expecting here, but I hope not.

Motherfuckers, I was CLOSE

Pretty mesmerizing episode. That last ten minutes was especially dark. I was wondering how are the good guys are get out of this..and then that happened. Almost too tidy and neat resolution but still three more weeks where anything can happen.
Fewer battlefield deaths than I expected, even with some MIA.
Looking forward to reading some of the online write ups tomorrow.

I know, right? When I re-watch I am going to need to do that.

And then I'll explode into a billion rainbow pieces of pure joy and exaltation and become one with the purest creative forces in the universe and live forever inside the gods' imagination

Joey what's the weather like in the rainbow dimension?

Really? There was not one holy shit moment in the whole episode. They did a marvelous job of building the tension and it culminated when all of the swords were extinguished. Then it was just predictable fan boi bullshit that was filmed in a fashion that was like trying to play a gameboy at the beach. Arya giving the Night King the death blow was the least satisfying moment in the show’s history. This was not even her fight. That is with Cersei. Sure was aw some to see Ghost just fucking standing there, though. Hard to decide if Avengers or this was the biggest wet fart of the weekend.

Ha. We had to switch from the 92” projector screen to the 40” tv because we couldn’t see half of what was happening.


Great, great episode. Thoroughly satisfied

I will say I am a little disappointed that they built up the white walkers for 7 seasons as this great threat to all the land, then this happened

exactly. They were all onscreen for a collective 2 minutes.
