Game of Thrones S8 E3 Response (SPOILERS)
Okay my responses to this week's episode, SPOILERS AHEAD DON'T READ UNLESS YOU SAW THE EPISODE:
1. the dothraki charge was fucking pointless. WHY DID THEY THINK THAT WOULD WORK AT ALL?! They just fuckin destroyed the Khalsaar for NOTHING! Pisses me off. Sure it looked cool, but THERE IS MORE POINT TO THEM THAN A COOL LOOKING SHOT!
2. Ned ALWAYS said "Winterfell could be held with only 500 men." So what was the point of having the bulk of the army outside the gates at ALL?! Smh stupid stupid stupid.
3. Since they put dragonglass points on the tips of the walls (where no wights could climb in the first place), why TF didn't they put those tips on EVERY top of the walls to defend from wights crawling over the walls instead of on the top where they wouldn't be coming over AT ALL?! Smh stupid stupid stupid
4. How do fully decomposed, BONES of the dead Starks break through the stones & walls of their crypts? That made no sense. But since Jon SAW Hardhome & KNEW NK could raise the dead at any point... Why weren't the crypts reinforced to make it impossible for the dead Starks to come out of the crypts? Oh maybe cuz we thought how TF could BONES escape crypts in the first place?! I call this as I see it... A cop out by the writers to make shit "more suspenseful," but really it dont make sense AT ALL.
5. Am I the only one who felt the NK raising the dead to avoid a fight with Jon was a bloody COP OUT?!
6. Is Rhaegal dead or alive? He seemed to go down when he crash landed with Jon and left Jon on the battlefield (or Jon left him). But I saw him in the promo for next week... I am CONFUSED about this. Especially since multiple "episode review" articles list Rhaegal as dead but here other's list him as alive and I thought he died but saw the clips for the next episode and just wtf I'm confused.
7. Wtf was 3-Eyed-Bran doing the entire episode in his warging state? AND wtf happened to Ghost?! (Okay I guess that's 2 points but I aint renumbering my entire post for it sorry)
8. I looooooved that Lyanna wasn't going down unless she took the wight giant with her. That imo is the ONLY way she could die. It was done right... But I still cried when she died. RIP the little girl who could shame grown ass northerners into the right... And RIP House Mormont.... IF ONLY SHE HAD LISTENED TO JORAH
9. Jorah's death was fitting in that he went down protecting Dany with his dying breath. And DAMN that scene of Dany crying over him AND Drogon laying there mourning him. Oh the feels! I cried. I can't believe they didn't let him say those last words he was struggling to tell Dany before he died. Dude, the writers could have AT LEAST let him die mid-sentence, NOT choke off any chance for him to say he loved Dany or that she will be okay etc. Otherwise, I was satisfied with his ending... It's sad for sure, but we knew not everyone was going to make it.... And he deserved to say those words dammit!!!
10. Arya was an inspiring bad ass the ENTIRE episode. Even when she was scrambling in the library, which honestly wasnt that great, but I get why cuz it was Beric's purpose to save her so she could kill NK. I literally whooped and shouted in joy when she used that move to kill him. I think it was perfectly fitting.... Buuuuut, why couldn't they have shown us HOW she even GOT to the NK?! Like obvi she had to have taken a wights face, run across treetops, or Bran warged a dragon to drop her in.... But NOT showing THAT and her just appearing outta nowhere to kill NK seems like a cop out of the writers tryin to make us believe NK was gonna succeed in killing 3-Eyed-Bran, which is just annoying to me. I think it wouldve been more suspenseful if we had to hold our breath knowing Arya was going after NK rather than the route they took of her coming outta no where across a circle of wights and WW.
I admit I am a little too invested in this show and was 100% knawing on my hand in anxiety the entire episode. Ok... I'll shut up cuz this is a veeeeeeeery long comment haha thx for putting up w/ me Tumblr
