Overall...I felt pretty empty after watching this episode. Pretty disappointed.

@MDFPodcast - So um......Night King in MK11?

@DeadWade213 - Haven't played MK11 lol

I just thought that the episode didn't really reflect 9 years of buildup.

@MDFPodcast -

I am not sure how they keep on ruining the same concept. They did it with Walking Dead and now Game Of Thrones.

Put bluntly, the concept of both is that the threat is like a natural disaster, it is always going to arrive and cannot be stopped. Our characters either intentionally or unintentionally ignore the main threat with needless drama.

This leads to a sense of dramatic irony that nothing they did mattered and the lingering thought amongst the characters and the audience that perhaps we should think about the greater good rather than whatever individual issues we have.

It's even in the title of both shows;
The Walking Dead... humanity that is going extinct
Game Of Thrones... humanity distracting itself from a larger issue

Game Of Thrones ruined that with Season 8 Episode 3 - the main threat is defeated and our characters are justified in thinking that they can fight pointless battles and squabble with each other without consequences. It's the complete opposite of the entire thing the show has been building up to.

@Scarilian - The overall message i took away from this season so far is the opposite of that but it is yet to be seen whether the characters will as well.

My takeaway is that humanity only survived by banding together and putting aside their differences and because they didn't listen sooner, it was at great loss when they finally did. All the houses that are north but didn't join the effort were no doubt added to the Night King's ranks (if you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem)

Within those Winterfell walls, there were countless seasons long feuds that were set aside for the greater good

Didn’t have any expectations going in and felt a bit underwhelmed to be honest.

The episode was tense and exciting and had some great moments, but I'll admit I was like... that's it the battles over, I was expecting the Night King to stick around a bit longer? Well, I guess we still have three more episodes to see what happens just didn't expect him to be ousted in the first night of the battle? lol

Pretty underwhelming end to the Dothraki hoard, but I liked the episode overall. I thought for sure Tormund, Brienne, and Greyworm would die at Winterfell.

“I thought for sure Tormund, Brienne, and Greyworm would die at Winterfell.”

I thought they were toast. Bran, too.

still annoys me that cersei will be the season big bad, they should had killed her first, then go with the night king

well, still hope that bran has a dark agenda and the three eyes raven is the bad guy at the end... dont know but i dont trust him

@NoobNoob - The show was never about The Night King. It would have been lame if The Long Night was the final battle.

NoobNoob - 4/29/2019, 4:55 PM
@WakandanQueen - he was always the bigger threat for them, since ep 1

It wont be Cersei, the big bad is going to be Euron.

GreypilgrimXXX - 4/29/2019, 9:14 PM
@WakandanQueen - Agreed 100%. Seems liek a lot are upset their fan theories did not come true. People wanted to see Jon be the hero and bring the NK down. That is far to predictatable and Jon has had too many moments.

I loved how when Jon pursued him the NK basically was like EFF you Jon here is some dead to play with lol brilliant.
GreypilgrimXXX
GreypilgrimXXX - 4/29/2019, 9:16 PM
@NoobNoob - If you think that the NK is a bigger threat than Cersei than you have been watching the wrong show. The NK has nothing more to his intentions other than bringing on the long night. Cersei has showed how cunning and deadly she can be on a level that we never saw with the NK. He is basically and undead who wants to make the world freeze nothing more.

GreypilgrimXXX - 4/29/2019, 9:18 PM
@Scarilian - Surely you have to be joking LOL. Euron is an idiot he will die by Jamie or Jons hands, Jamie will end up killing Cersei. I am calling it right now.

After Endgame, any big CGI battle will feel a bit hollow at this point.

However, Arya killing the Night King was as badass of a surprise as the one or two moments in Endgame that really got me.

Also, this episode was dark AF - visually not thematically - turn on the goddamn lights!

@Batmangina - I think shooting the battle scenes in the dark, helps with the CGI budget. Kinda like with the first Pacific Rim movie.

I get that it was done for total shock value. But the Night King went out like a b!*ch.😂

@WAKANDABATMANFOREVER - it was done to immerse the viewer into the horror that the characters were facing.

@Batmangina -Darkness has always been used to hide subpar VFX in some cases with movies just like rain. You can get away with a whole lot more.

Also off topic, I still haven't seen Endgame yet (I'm seeing it on Friday) and I still haven't been spoiled yet! :)

Glad everyone is being polite about not spoiling it and keeping it fun and exciting for everyone who's still waiting to see it! Really appreciate it everyone! :)

Major episode for Theon and Arya's arcs. I was just expecting Bran to do something more - though I bet he was doing something and it will be revealed this week.
Sure, not that many major characters died (plot armor) but Aegon and Dany's army significantly diminished.

Well,he did give Arya the Valerian knife.

nonserviam - 4/29/2019, 5:01 PM
So they pushed the whole Azor Ahai/Prince who was Promised prophecy arc for pretty much the 1st 7 seasons, and then said F it, and let Arya kill him.... Such a disappointment on that end.

Also, until I see a body or confirmation next episode, I am not going to believe Jorah is dead.
Ha1frican
Ha1frican - 4/29/2019, 5:10 PM
@nonserviam - Well she’s obviously the Azor Ahai it’s not like they just ignored that this video pretty much explains why that’s the case and why it was telegraphed before
Scarilian
Scarilian - 4/29/2019, 6:23 PM
@Ha1frican -
The exact same theories can be applied to every character in Game Of Thrones. Jaime was the most obvious candidate and a lot of the prophecy regarding what Azor Ahai would do simply wont work with Arya without repeating things that other characters such as Jaime have already done.
Toblakai
Toblakai - 4/29/2019, 8:18 PM
@Scarilian - that's the problem with projectiles. They are entirely subjective and are heavily influenced by the person relaying them which skews the perspective.

Often times the truth of a prophecy can only be realized once all events leading up to it have been realized.

They can also sprout branches which veer away from the original project depending on how events in the real world play out.

Terry Goodkind does a great job of explaining the trials and tribulations of prophecy in his Sword of Truth series.
