I think the Night King's time to retire has come and pass the crown to his heir, the prince that was promised.

I liked the end result, and Arya's assassination of the Night King made up for a lot, but not being able to see anything was pretty dang annoying.

Also, I was led to believe that more people would die, although the Dothraki and the Mormont clan are pretty much done.

As for the battle, why didn't they start with the dragons? How has Daenerys managed to blow a three-dragon lead?

Lol pretty much the exact same thoughts. The last five minutes were the only good part and for all that build up I felt it was very underwhelming on top of damn near unwatchable because of how dark it was. How could someone hyped soo much die soo easily?

Me and my husband said the same thing, I would have set the whole field ablaze before they got there. Or used wild fire on them or something. My only guess is that strategically they needed to sacrifice to draw the night king out so they could kill him otherwise it would be a never ending war, but that’s a lot to sacrifice when everyone could have just hopped on some ships and avoided the problem altogether by moving to an island. They had more than enough advanced notice.

I’m assuming the show is trying to make some sort of philosophical comment that humans are their own worst enemy, worse then even the worst boogeyman but we will see

Yep. Moat of fire surrounding Winterfell, with concentric moats to divide and trap the Walkers, then hit them with the trebuchet-launched dragon fire, and incinerate huge swathes with Drogon and Rhaegal. It's not rocket science, and as you say, they had more than enough notice.

Most people are perturbed by the ending, but I knew it would be Arya what done him in. However, I figured it would be through getting close by use of disguise. The term "Mary Sue" is actually trending on Twitter. I was more perturbed by the strategy. In a battle where the dead can be resurrected, you wouldn't attack first. You would defend to minimize loss of life and resurrections. I would have held the Dothraki back until the horde was thinned. I woulda put some unsullied out front to absorb the wave, lit the trench and parked the dragons up front to fry the field. I woulda had oil soaked logs cut, placed the length of the parapets , and when they tried to go World War Z woulda lit the logs and pushed them off the wall. Then I woulda dumped oil over the walls and lit it. I mean, their wall defense sucked. Crush and burn damage. If the dragons fry enough of them, then that means no resurrections and the night king has to come on out and fight before he loses his whole army. As for the darkness, I had already cranked up my brightness and adjusted the contrast before it even came on so it was a lot easier to see what was going on.

The Battle of Winterfell was weak. Especially when compared to the Battle of The Bastards.

I liked how it ended, but the combat was lacking or mind-bogglingly stupid. I mean they sent their cavalry in blind. Their catapults were placed in the worst spot and were completely ineffective.

Don't even get me started on the Dragon combat. In theory, the undead dragon and the night king could have been killed with 1 shot at any point in time. Instead, they were chasing him around on their dragons for 20 minutes. I mean hello? Throw some dragon glass at them and call it a day.

Coupla problems with that approach. They don't have superhuman strength to sling javelins (Night King does) while trying to hold on to the back of a raging dragon in bad weather conditions. Plus, he had to be stabbed in the exact spot where the children of the forest inserted the red dragon glass into his body, which is where Arya stabbed him.

Nah.

They don't need superhuman strength. Use a crossbow or a siege weapon. They can also build a damn harness for dragon riding. Hanging on to the dragons back is their own stupid choice.

Dude, Arya didn't even stab the night king in the heart.

Whole season has been meh. I used to like so many of those characters , now only Arya is somewhat interesting. Others downright boring, could simply stop watching and never care enough to look it up how it ended...

I'm fine with the darkness. It's the stupidity I can't handle.

The writing this season has been that bad. However, I think the writers of this show were always pretty bad. They just made it work because they were copying from a book. The stories translated to film well when they were all happening simultaneously. Now that so many pivotal and powerful characters are together, it's a huge clusterfuck. Time has no meaning and everyone is being stripped of their power.

Surely I can relate to lazy writing. But I'm not one of the people getting paid to write. Every character that I liked is now either a bumbling idiot or dead. The strategy has turned into showing up first and being lucky. Yes, I'm sure that's why we all watch "Game of Thrones". To see it all come down to luck.

Fuck you HBO. Let's play Game of Thrones for real.
