chatty83 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 How badly directed it was. The Wights one minute being super fast killing machines then changing to Walking Dead, slow dumb zombies when required by the plot, Jon being made to look pretty useless. Them not using the WWs at all, not a single battle with anyone of them other than NK on the dragons. How most characters died about fifteen times then still survived. Sam mainly but also Brienne, Jaime, Podrick, Grey Worm were all pulled down with four plus wights on top of them only to be fine the next scene they featured in with no explanation. How easy the Dothraki were massacred. Throwing Ghost in for ten seconds and then never seeing him again. Jorah surviving what should have been the impossible just so they could kill him later.

Nerevanin Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 biggest surprises: - no major character died. I really thought someone (Jon, Tyrion, Dany, Arya, Sansa, Jaime) would. I suppose that you can count Theon as a semi-major character but he was toast in the moment he decided to defend Bran. - too few deaths. I expected more deaths than these five (not counting the NK) - Grey Worm didn't die. He was on the top of my predictions of deaths in this episode. - (kinda) Arya killed the NK. I really thought it would be Jaime. - Bronn didn't show up in the middle of the battle to save the day no surprises: - the dead Starks revived - Theon died. - D&D got rid of all the Dothraki and Unsullied. - dragon fire didn't kill the NK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerevanin Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'll add biggest disappointments: - the war against the NK is appently done in one battle - no one had to fight with any "used-to-be-friend" wight. Lyanna and Edd were wighted but no one fought them. It would be cool if for example Sansa had to face someone of her ancestors in the crypts (like Ned the Headless). I was half-expecting that wight LF would try to kill Sansa. - Jon senting Ghost to the first line and didn't even say goodbye to him or anything. I guess that a dragon is a more cool pet then a direwolf. - Mel the mighty fire witch being basically useless. I expected more. And no, encouraging Arya to do a ninja thing isn't "more". - the lighted stone balls (how exactly to you set a stone ball on fire btw?) didn't hit the dothraki.

MinscS2 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 "Yes, without the dragon queen there would be no problem at all. We'd all be dead already." Not a major surprise, but Missandei standing up for her queen in front of Sansa surprised me none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlong the Fat Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I was also surprised when Arya killed the KN. And now I think: how can I have been surprised that the best assassin in the North assassinated the NK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanyDayne Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Surprise: Jon basically doing nothing Dany fighting with a sword Arya being "Azor Ahai" kind of Jon abandoning Sam to his fate Lyanna slaying a giant No Surprise: Melisandre being boss Sam being useless in battle Jorah dying Theon dying Bran being no help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He than fights himself into Winterfell but doesn't get through the courtyard. Can happen. Is even realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippocras Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 folks this isn’t a nitpick thread or a rant and rave thread. It would really be better to use it for its intended purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there actually a shot near the end confirming him alive? I feel like I really can’t say if several characters survived or not...we last saw them fighting.

One Unsullied without a helm, holding a spear on the right side below Tormund and Gendry. I bet it's Grey Worm. For sure we will only know in E4.
