A little disappointed with this season so far especially with only 6 episodes ..

Episode 4 was good and I was fine with Arya getting the kill. But why did they bring Jon back from the dead. Wasn't he supposed to be the main guy. They have 2 episodes to correct some issues here. Deanerys is also turning into a mad queen making mistakes left and right, a long side Tyrion which hasn't made a good call in a while. He's literally making mistake after mistake.

I also thought they wasted the dathroki. All those advisors and they decide to put the cavalry in the front line. Why in gods name was the cavalry in the front line. They are light cavalry not heavy armored knights..made no sense. Same with Deanerys having air superiority and not scouting the area from above. They were flying so low and missed a fleet of boats that was behind some rocks.

I dont know...very meh season so far.

I agree overall about the season. I believe I posted about my disappointment earlier. I'm happy about Arya getting the kill, and I believe many people expected as much. The fact that he basically died without a fight. (dragons too) is extremely disappointing. (who the hell is writing this garbage?)

Two years on six episodes only to film a terrible story-line with awful cinematography. Wow, what a letdown. I can't imagine there is enough time left to make up for it. All that is left is for everyone to die off and they have to do all that in 160 minutes. Unless they cheap out and most people live. That wouldn't be very GoT like now would it? It's going to be wholesales slaughter with minimal drama for each kill because there isn't enough time left.

Come on JRRM, we need you to finish the book so we can have a true GoT ending....

Forget about a decent fight, he never even said a word. Even if he spoke something in his language and nobody understood would of been better. The guy was clearly intelligent and had a plan. The white walkers were built up since season 1, they needed at least 10 episodes this season to give it a decent story and an acceptable flow.

I agree the book will have a better ending.

I now think Jon will end up having to kill Dany to save the people as she becomes the "Mad Queen" as her anger drives her to burn Kings Landing to the ground. Jon will not be able to support that move and will do he only thing he can do to save everyone. Since he will be saving the people from the imminent evil danger and also killing someone he loves at the same time, he becomes Azor Ahai . Longclaw will become Flaming Long Claw. He will then defeat Cersei to become king. Perhaps he gives up the throne to either Sansa or Tyrion due to not wanting the throne in the first place as well as his grief for killing Dany.

Another variation of this would have Arya becoming Aror Ahai. That would happen if Jon still supports Dany as mad Queen so Arya has to kill both Dany and Jon. She loves Jon so she would be saving everyone from the imminent danger and killing someone she loves.

I watched this episode again just to verify what I thought, it is the worst one out of all 8 seasons to me. Greyjoy's shots at the dragon were ridiculous and I think the writers were tired after episode 3. If the next two rebound this, then fine, one stinker is OK but they are running the risk of doing a Lost on ending this series.

If they'd done the job on the early episodes that they did on this last one, I wouldn't waste my time.

HBO is counting on the next series to keep some of the subscribers but they better do a better job than that of ending this one.

I think they were just building up for the mad queen. The killing of the dragon along with Missandei is showing the catalyst to Dany heading to the "dark side". She already had the tendencies in her and needs a catalyst to bring them out fully.

No doubt but they took the easy way with the dragon. Dragon had to die, and as much as a symbolic gesture since that was Jon's dragon, but they were lazy as hell about it. The Night King was magical and even he missed.

Reddit has posted the potential spoilers for the final two episodes. They claim to be leaked from someone with close access to the set. Every leak has turned out to be correct so far. In case anyone is interested. I won't say anything more.

I think he left the Night King creation stuff for the prequels.... they didn't want to give away the whole story

I also predict Arya will be the one to kill Cersei. It could be Jaime or Tyrion but I vote for Arya. I believe she will do it as the Hound fights the Mountain. She will finish her list possibly even killing the Mountain to save the Hound.

Or another variation would be Jon killing the now Mad Queen Dany, then renouncing his claim to Tyrion, who would form an alliance of equals with Sanza / the North. Jon heads north (sort of foreshadowed in this last episode) and scratch his direwolf behind the ears and live his life in exile north of the wall.
