Big gripe for me is that NK should not have been Arya's to kill. It feels like they tied up loose ends with the wrong threads. Arya's training should have been building to her getting the revenge for the Starks on Cersei/Lannisters not the Night King. That should have been Jon's destiny. He and the Night King were intertwined and instead we got Arya handling it, after just seeing him for the first time
IMO it would have been cooler for Arya to avenge/save The Hound by killing the Mountain with the cool dagger drop and set up any of a number of more meaningful people to finish off Cersei - Jaime, Tyrion, Sansa, Dany, etc

Agreed.To those complaing about the darkness: Of course they had to use some tricks with their budgets. They obviously were not able to animate the whole episode with a massive authentic WW army together with the dragons, magic, fire, etc etc etc.
Also the darkness helped for the 'horror' feeling, so it was a good choice.
Yep.Anyone else think the unsullied were the real heroes of this episode? In that chaos and madness their discipline and organisation was incredible![]()
Probably been mentioned, but I watched back this:
In the same scene were Mellisandre basically predicts Arya will close eyes, she also tells Gendry he will make kings rise and fall
By that logic, they would've been still controlled by the children. Instead, NK destroyed what was left of them.Whats supposed about it. It's been stated clearly and plainly by the Children of the Forest. They are what they are. They don't need to have some deep underlying back story that they were abused by their mums or something. The children of the forest took a man and using their magical powers, created a creature with the ability and design to destroy all men.
Renly
Was Renly a king, though?
Renly
Yup, just got reading that
So much easily forgotten that ties together
Not Renly. Eboues messing about. But Gendry had the leech scene and was partially responsible for taking out Rob, Joffers and Iron Island Daddy.
no I'm not he took out renly with his blood magic
I cant believe they resurrected Beric 427 times to have him die as a shitty version of Hodor.
They went for the surprise factor since Jon killing him would have been 'obvious'. Jon's dying and resurrection definitely does not really makes little sense now.
he served the lord of lights purpose as Mel said. Same with the hound, theon being helped by the drowned god just so he serves his purpose and arya being helped by the faceless god. They all had a purpose.
Biggest questions reading through this thread is why so many people would want to watch Endgame
Nope.
Didn't Gendry's blood pretty much take down Joffers, Rob and the Iron islands king? Or at least it was implied it had a hand in them.
Episode 5 is better? Have you seen it somehowfecking sad bastards the lot of you moaning. Reeks of Cafe members. United negativity is the start for most of you and then anything that you can moan about ... negativity.
That episode is the most expensive EVER tv show episode, by some distance. The darkness is intentional, it’s a battle at night in a castle ?! If you can’t work out how to turn on different TV modes then more fool you. Brilliant links from previous series and tying up a lot of character stories. Episode 5 is even better. So stop the moaning and enjoy it before it’s gone.

Yea i thought they'd run out and get killed.Did anyone else think Sansa and Tyrion would end up killing themselves as they were making a last tearful goodbye? That scene was really weird.
Oh, so it has the most expensive plotholes too, 10/10, I'm convinced. Seriously, what bullshit argument is that. I don't care about the super expensive CGI when the underyling story isn't worth my attention.fecking sad bastards the lot of you moaning. Reeks of Cafe members.
