What a crappy episode!
How the heck do you plan for a horseback army to attack an unseen foe at night?!?!
Oh, surprise!! they get slaughtered by ghosts and the little flaming swords go out in less than 5 minutes! Damn, worse than a crappy battle in World of tanks.
How were those dothraki expecting to defeat the dead?? no valyrian steel, no dragonglass... wut?!! wasn't that the whole point of Jon going to Dragonstone? get dragonglass. Most idiotic waste of a whole army.
Also, that's not how you do battle at night. Blind!? Idiots.
Either light up the field properly or stay behind the walls and wait for the day... at least dawn. Wasn't that the plan at Helm's Deep? Weren't they saying that this was going to be more spectacular than Helm's Deep? More stupid, if anything...
Then the waste of the unsullied army. Also getting overwhelmed due to lack of sight.
The dragons are totally wasted. I think I saw more blue fire than yellow fire coming out of them.
Dragons should have been on top of the castle towers spitting fire at the attacking horde and obliterating them all until only the night king and the other white walkers were around.
Clegane goes back into PTSD mode with fire. PTSD is real and already existed in the third age, folks! Did he expect a night time battle with dragons involved to not have fire??
Arya indoors has to tiptoe around the whights?! Didn't they dissolve into a puff of dust when skewered by dragonglass? take them out one by one, as they were spread out, no?.... no... just try to evade.
Speaking of, why did some of the whights (giant included) dissolve into dust and some (close encounter lady with Arya) falls on her shoulder, bleeds from the wound, and remains intact? that's what I call inconsistent.
Theon... close quarters battle with bow and arrow, very clever. Also, to keep the bows singing, you'd hold multiple arrows with the hand that holds the bow and shoot them at more than one per second... not having to draw them one at a time from a quiver on the ground... idiots. Somehow, plot armor kept him safe until he ran at the big boss bad guy. With his combat expertise, he should have known to stand his ground and let the attacking force come. Idiotic death.
And Arya jumping through every white walker and screaming...? oops, got caught, duh! But the old drop and slip in saves the day. yay!! Bran is safe, Jon is safe, Dany is safe... Jorah not so much... who else died? oh Beric, a very important character - not! Oh, and also little miss Mormont who took out the giant, nice.
Briene and Jamie were screaming together, last I saw them...
And the red woman can finally have her peace. I thought she was supposed to just be a priestess of the god of light, like other priestesses we saw in Meereen... Why was she special and turned old when she took off the necklace? What about the other priestesses? Did they also lose their meaning to live when the night king was vanquished and fell dead of old age? unexplained and they will never bother.
With the white walkers gone and the wildlings mostly on the south side of the wall, I'd say that the wall will not get rebuilt and the far north might become an 8th kingdom of Westeros.... or part of the North, vassals to the Starks.
Can I say it again?... what a crappy episode!!
