If they did they probably make it north of the wall and rebuild the wall. Did you see in episode one how they looked at the foreigners lol.

Even I have to admit the dothraki stuff was ill conceived. I get that mounted riders are practically useless in a holding/defensive position, but c'mon man..................
They should have been on or near the place Dany and Jon were and attacked them from the rear, or at least made their suicide run at the generals themselves (not the NK).
They also went a little overkill on the fact the wights were winning, have to admit for a moment i thought, well ****, everyone is going to die. I am curious to see how many forces the North has left next episode.

Just for the record, Dany didn't pull a ***** move on Jorah, it was Jorah that pushed her behind him, not Dany pushing Jorah in front of her.

Jon Snow has been the hero the whole fucking show and will probably be a hero again before its over. Let Arya have her moment because from when we first met her to now. She has become the most bad ass.

so the girl that defeats the king of death, was trained by worshippers of the god of death. Not really a shock. Also, bear in mind the Nk was killed next to a wierwood tree, just like he was created by a weirwood tree. Same place Bran handed her the dagger. A dagger made of valaryan steel with a dragonglass handle.

i have nothing against arya being the hero it's just the fact that they've been hyping up Jon vs the Night King for a few seasons now....just doesn't seem right....that's like Jon taking out the mountain instead of the hound

I read the problem with the direwolves is they use real wolves for scenes and it’s really hard then it cost a ton of money for cgi. It’s why they kind of throw them around here and there but never explain shit about it. I am hoping we see Arya dire wolf save her before the end.

It all added up at the end. There was a theory she would be the one but it got blown off. I think people thought her big moment would be Cersei or The Mountain which is still possible

From the books I rate chapters
Bran
Arya
Jon
The rest blah
In order of enjoyment. The bran and Arya stories were great in the book. Now on the show Arya was still great but bran was professor x with hair

I'm kinda curious at the point of bringing John Snow back from death if he wasn't the one to kill the NK. I get that Arya been training for this her whole life but what's John's purpose now?

Get his aunt pregnant I guess? To unite the north/wildlings? To beat the bastard? Nothing exciting enough to make him Jesus

The entire battle is a contrivance. It's suicidal to begin with and didn't need to be fought yet. But GoT is full of contrivances and deus ex machinas in order to further character/story arcs. It seems silly to get hung up on some and not others: Little Lady Mormont getting lifted up by an emotionless ice giant zombie so he can gloat over his victory is a contrivance to show how brave she is. Tyrion getting knocked out at Green Fork is a contrivance. Sam Tarley killing a fucking White Walker is a contrivance. Hell, Sam still being alive is a contrivance. And a 10,000-strong horde of Dothraki getting blinked out of existence in the darkness is a contrivance to show you how hopeless the situation is.

I always hoped the threat of the WWs was more of the end-game than the politics of the Iron Throne, and as such I'm kind of disappointed that the major threat to all of humanity is gone and they're back to squabbling over a chair. For all the mystery surrounding the Walkers it's kind of unsatisfying that there weren't any real answers as to motivation, the specific beef with Jon, all the holy/supernatural intervention, and so on. Perhaps it is as simple as them still trying to fulfill the purpose they were created for by the Children; to destroy humanity. But then why all the symbolism (spirals/other signs) and such? The lack of a deeper meaning is my issue, I guess. Actually, I would have been perfectly happy with the NK eventually wiping everyone out. That, at least, would be a stark contrast to the typical happy ending plots we're so accustom too.
Who knows though, maybe they do have one more big surprise in store and the NK rezzes himself or was only a puppet of the true evil (the Children have been hiding out, biding their time until humanity weakened itself enough, ahhhhhh...magical midgets!!!!) or something; but I doubt it given the limited time left.
Whatever way it goes it's still an all-time great series.

You know why they sent the Dothraki out there? Because they wanted the cool shot of all the lit up swords disappearing, which illustrates the impending doom (except for all the main characters of course). That was the only reason. That or Dany/Jon don't like people of color, so they decided on sending the Dothraki out there instead of the Unsullied (had to keep at least one of them).

Idk if any of you play Total War games, but the Winterfell battle plan felt alot like when you play the AI and just cheat because they do Special person shit like charging you with their light cavalry right out the gate and you can kill them all.
Night King dying also resonated.... lol the end.... you have victory in hand and somehow your triumphant general gets cut down randomly.

Yes that is my point so lets not pretend it wasnt logically stupid and was done for TV reasons. Some people will like it and some wont.
