Yeah, I completely agree with both of you (and I accidentally quoted you in the wrong order but whatever). It was a super weird and random ending and basically no prophecy that came true whatsoever, Arya was a very random choice, we should have learnt some last secret or twist about the white walkers or House Stark or something, but it was just an easy ending and now the white walkers are all gone - probably forever. So they didn't really learn anything, there were no old Stark secrets, and no special twist about the white walkers' motives or a great fundamental lesson about life and death - just an anonymous enemy defeated and then on to the political game again. Absolute bullshit. The worst thing is the fact that now the very very biggest thing of the entire series is over and Cersei is supposed to be even more hard to defeat... or what? Why the hell do they save Cersei for last? Really strange, this undermines the conflict of life and death in favour of the political game, which is truly a shame. I suppose that a lot of people liked the episode simply because everyone survived or simply because they defeated the Night King. People would probably have liked it no matter what happened, since noone wants to dislike this great finale either. One chooses to like it - or tells oneself that it was good - and then it's done, because one does not want to be upset at it.

I just remembered Benjen's horse from Season 7 Episode 6, when Benjen saves Jon and Jon rides on it to the Wall (and of course in earlier episodes too, with Bran and Meera) - Is Benjen's horse resurrected/living dead with COTF magic like he is or is it just a normal horse? I don't remember how it looked but I think maybe it was half decaying... Did the COTF save his horse with dragonglass through its heart just like they saved him? And if not, how the hell has that horse survived north of the Wall for so long?

Really random but I've been wondering for a while... Is it possible that GRRM got the name Casterly Rock from the "Castle Rock" production company, the logo of which for example is at the end of "Seinfeldt" episodes? He probably watched "Seinfeldt" like most people when he started writing AGOT in -91 or -92 and came up with the Westerlands, right? Maybe this is just a coincidence but surely it could be like this?

It really is an awesome episode. Definitely on my top three list of all episodes. Tyrion's arc especially was extremely good, when he kills Tywin, and when he and Varys get on the boat to the sound of bells ringing, just wow... All in all the entire episode just made me super-excited for season five.

Just saw Ed Skrein (Old Daario) as "Francis" in Deadpool.
