    Wow, that was the best episode of TV I have ever seen, just * brilliant from start to finish.

    I've been avoiding everything GoT related all day :giggle1: There's not a chance I would read this thread before seeing it.

    I'm on holiday in Asia for two weeks on Thursday. Don't know how I'm going to manage to avoid spoilers for the next two episodes. They're everywhere.

    Well I had quite a bit right there and how long the Dead would be out the way.

    All seemed a bit too quick for me, although guess it was always gonna be that way.

    As said Bran is a fkn waste of wheels.

    Some characters should've died several times over no doubt which makes it feel not very game of thrones buuuttt that aside * * that was amazing television.

    Watched it twice now and although the tension, excitement and special effects were amazing, I can see why folk are complaining about the lack of story.
    Hopefully there might be a bit more explanation next week like who was the night king and what was his purpose? Thought when he survived the dragon fire that he might be Targaryen but who knows. Would also be good to know what the * Bran Stark is all about.

    I loved it but..

    Night King should have killed a big character as well as Theon.

    The real White Walkers should have had battles with the big characters like Jamie, Brienne, Tormund and Jon etc. The scene were they walked through the gate of Winterfell was awesome and it looked like they were about to * * up but they done nowt.

    It would’ve been awesome if he turned out to have been a Targaryen. Actually any sort of more tangible background would’ve been cool.

    I thought for a second he was going to get up close to Bran and then kneel or something like that, something to flip the script a bit and get everyone guessing. Instead he got * shanked by a teenage girl.

    Watched it twice now still not really satisfied with the ending but everything else in terms of spectacle, visuals, intensity and the music is so far above anything else you see on tv.

    It’s one thing I can’t fault them for. The battle of the * was probably the best battle scene I’ve ever seen on TV and this was right up there too.

    The directors do a brilliant job of making you think all hope is lost for the good guys even in scenes where TV show convention suggests it shouldn’t be. There was loads of it in this episode - the Dothraki being easily killed off, the undead pouring through most of the defences like they weren’t even there, almost every character looked on the verge of death multiple times. They’re faultless when it comes to these sort of things.

    The entire opening where there was barely any dialogue and the scenes with arya in the castle were unbearably tense.

    Agreed, I also wanted to see some main characters get turned into wights then fight, like Wight Jamie vs brienne, wight Davos vs jorah etc

    Absolutely * incredible from start to finish. Only issue I had with it was how dark and pixelated it was.

    There’s supposedly a version kicking about with a filter on it which looks much better.

    So what do we all see happening in the next three episodes? Who dies, who sits on the throne, who is hand of the king/queen etc?

    Surely Cleganebowl has to happen. Wonder if that could be in a trial by combat for Cersei.
