I thought about this as well. After Jaime made her a knight it seemed like a nice end point for her character, achieving the thing she always wanted. Of all the characters, she’s the one I was the most sure was going to die. Not that I’m complaining of course, she’s a very lovable character.

Wait, did none of you think to use a torch to brighten your tv? I thought that was foreshadowed 
Imagine the scene, Manchester United v Liverpool on the final day of next season. They're both tied on points at the top of the table, the game is 0-0 and the 89th minute Man United get a penalty and Rashford is taking his run up. At that moment, how many stewards are doing their job and how many are taking a sneaky look at the game.
The Night King was just about to kill his mortal enemy after 100s of years of trying. Of course his boys were watching that rather than keeping an eye on the fire exits for tiny girl ninjas.

I got a torch for you right here
*grabs crotch*
Having the Night King killed off in his first battle south of the wall after 8 series of building to the point was very anti climatic. I did like that Arya did it though.
Still feels like their needed to be more to it, and the fact they now have to go south and defeat Cersi, feels a bit like if in Harry Potter, Voldemort had got defeat half way through the last book and they had to go off and defeat Malfoy.

Massively underwhelmed by the ending What a huge disappointment
What a huge disappointmentIn the library they showed her moving around without a sound, the WW's only noticed her when a drop of blood fell to the ground, meaning she was incredibly stealthy. She also sneaked up to Jon a couple of episodes ago in the Godswood without him noticing. Her entire story arc was becoming this stealthy assassin, started with chasing the cats as asked by Syrio Forel. Once she had the talk with Melissandre, I was convinced she was going to kill the NK.
I found the ending to be perfect. The NK got cocky after he survived the dragonfire.
Argh! Bullets, my only weakness! How did you know?!?
It wasnt just the Night Kings power though, it was all the white walkers. As demonstrated when the Expedition rode North and killed the White Walker. This implies that they could have thinned out the ranks of White Walkers to reduce the herd first before taking on the Night King himself. But the writers avoided the slow answer and went for the fast "kill the Night King" route instead.
Indeed, just literally finished watching it 10 mins ago, didn't have time to think about it. All makes sense now.
Fleshlight.
It was ok. But too dark, my head hurts after watching that. I missed some of the deaths, what happens to Thormund, Gendry, dragons first fight than one disappears, NK one goes on, does that one lives who gets swarmed by WW?
Also that dothraki charge was so stupid.
Arya killing NK was ok but bit of an anticlimax.

Battle of the Bastards is still the best for me as well. That was the last time where i genuinely thought anything could happen. I was on the edge of my seat for that one. Also helped that the antagonist was a right cnut. I hated Ramsay so the prospect of him winning was unthinkable.
Can someone help me with the dragon situations, are they both alive or is it the only one we saw towards the end ?
Oh my, why do people keep mentioning that Jon scene. There's a huge difference in Arya sneaking up on one person than sneaking up on the NK and his entire entourage of pimps.
So dragon glass is apparently shit because the feckers just kept coming. 1 dragon left. Now to take on that Cersei bitch. Surprised it ended so quickly for the night king.
He's like the Tottenham of GoT. Such promising signs, only to feck up at the first real hurdle
They built this whole battle "living vs dead" for how many years now ? To have it end like that ? I just think they ran out of ideas and didn't know how to finish this big part of GOT. Personally I feel really disappointed.
It was a not so subtle hint, same as they did in the previous episode 'the crypt is the safest place'.
They killed off a huge bunch of them I thought, but the NK raised all the "living" who just died. Are you sure the 2nd dragon is dead?
I had so much emotion in 1 minute of TV. First apprehension. Then Mel lit the swords and I was hell yeah. It was glorious watching them ride into battle then soul destroying watching the lights go out and one or two ride back. It was brilliant TV.
If next episode is not just Arya (wearing Ed Sheeran's face) rocking up in Kings Landing to murder Cersei, the writers are idiots.
So true.
Also all hail Lady Mormont, the heroine!
Also Theon, sad to see him go but he fought bravely.

If she does it I hope she takes Jack Sparrow's face.
They did the same with the whole Jon being a Targaryen reveal, anybody even attempting to listen to the dialogue could work it out pretty quickly once the tv writers took control with their not so subtle camera winks.
Generally liked the episode, but I have to agree on one cristicism. After the dothraki charge there was a lot of tension and a feeling that everyone could die. But about halfway through the episode, after a lot of last minute saves, I felt that the entire main cast were invincible. If they had, as mentioned earlier, divided them into two groups, where one were readying for a retreat to the iron islands, and the other stood their ground, there would have been enourmous tension as to who would survive.
They should also have gathered the remaining "stand your ground"-main cast, together with some unknowns, in a collective last stand, instead of each one standing alone on top of a pile of dead guys.

So who has green eyes on the GOT ?
I'm still happy it was Mel and Arya thay saved the day rather than Jon/Dany. They'll like take all the focus in the last 3 eps anyway.
You hit the nail on the head here. Amazingly the book fans were still expecting Jon vs NK like some Ali/Foreman fight to take place.
Firstly, that was good.
Secondly, am I way off in thinking that Melisandre referenced conversations Syrio and Jaqen H’Ghar had with Arya?
Was she a many faced person all along?

By far the best story arcs of the show: Jaime and Theon. Probably 2 of the best actors in the series too imo.
Cersei.
Cersei.
Nah, Jamie's would be sweeter.
People getting this excited over something so dumb makes me happy. It's rare but sometimes the simple stupidity of people is lovely.
Mel saw everything in the fires. All through GoT she's said things like that to characters.
Different Gods too, the lord of light clearly was on her side.
Guarantee that Arya will play a vital role in the final 3 episodes, she's become absurdly over powered now.
Huzza
Yeah man, I can get behind that. Not for me, but great to see people enjoying moments like that.Ok thanks way off then. I thought she was indicating it was her all along and she had been guiding Arya towards this moment.
Bloody hell, absolutely exhausting. Incredible spectacle, loved it.
