Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 108

Yeah agreed. Was expecting it to be him in that last scene though. That would've been cool

 

CGI budget probably kept Ghost out, more than anything. We got three badass dragons for a lot of screen time tonight.

 

That whole sequence with Jon fighting on the battlefield after the calvary charge was freaking insane

 

I find it difficult to be disappointed. It was what I expected, particularly Littlefiger's rescue, but it was done in a way that is difficult to find fault with. The brutal and disorienting nature of their sort of fighting was pretty palatable. More so than any scene I can recall in the history of the show.

 

What I figured.

 

Yea the claustrophobia of that battle sequence was spectacular. And i think a there was a cruel twist that was alluded to pretty heavily. Maybe not everyone caught it.

 

???

 

was wun wun the last giant alive?

 

Yes. (Wun Wun being the last giant)

So previews lead me to believe that Jon probably banishes Melisandre. I don't see him killing her.

 

i wonder what Sansa had to do to get the troops

 

Loved it

 

She sent the raven requesting help. Other than that, she just had to be herself, who was Catelyn's daughter.

 

The direction in this ep was superb. The clash of the horses, mounds of dead bodies, that Bolton shield enclosement, Tormund vs lord Karstak, and overall just the brutality of that type of warfare was spot on. Yeah it ended how I hoped, and am so glad it did.

10/10

 

I was never under the impression that she had to do/agree to anything...more pride than anything.

But she's also basically Littlefinger's protégé at this point

 

Holy shit. Best battle sequence the show has ever had. Top 5 episode overall IMO.

Kind of saw Littlefinger coming in and saving the day though .

 

Watching Ramsay die was so satisfying as was Sansa getting the satisfaction of choosing how it happened.

The dragon scenes looked so fucking good. Dany/Yara needs to be a thing, also I really hope they get a few good scenes together next season.

@Garrett L. Am I the only one that cried when they did Clarke and Lexa's goodbye handshake?

And yeah, there was supposed to be no strings attached in Sansa requesting Littlefinger's help but based off the preview for next week, that's not going to be the case. Hopefully she offs him because I won't put up with some gross predatory shit from him.

 

Pretty sure that had more to do with him seeing his little brother get killed right before his eyes. Didn't have much to do with Jon coming back from the dead.

 

Aaaand a repeat of Stannis coming to help w/ the Wildling battle.

I'm not mad though because, although how it went down was somewhat expected, I feel like it was all done perfectly.

 

wish ghost had been in there with Ramsay, but it was nice and poetic for it to be his own dogs, too.

 

I thought for sure it was a direwolf in the final scene sauntering into the frame before I realized it was one of the hounds

 

wouldn't have been anymore cgi than the dogs in with Ramsay.

*Tormund vs Smalljon

 

Btw, Grey Worm taking out those masters was one of the smoothest things I have ever seen.

 

Yeah, there were some tropes we've seen before, and Jon coming out pretty much unscathed (physically, that is) requires quite the suspension of disbelief, but fuck me if that episode wasn't fantastic from start to finish. The cinematography especially, but the dialogue was equally as good.

 

Predictable but they did enough to make me think at a few points that Jon was officially donezo. It was all shot really well. Holy hell that sequence of Jon charging in after Rickon died.

 

Two thumbs up. That was incredible. I'm glad things didn't go super sideways for the good guys in this episode.
