[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 7598892, member: 54629"] Mixed feelings for me, too. I enjoyed the spectacle overall but am also feeling let down. The White Walkers and their existential threat was my favourite part of the show. This was not the ending I was expecting. All I can hope for is that the supposed prequel series will flesh out their (back)story more. Random thoughts: [list][*]Sam, Brienne, Pod, Jaime, and probably also Grey Worm and Tormund ought to be dead. [*]Aside from being Westeros’ living memory, what is the point of Bran having magic powers? He doesn’t ever seem to do anything useful with them any more. Was his “creation” of Hodor the only pay-off we’ll get for his apparent ability to affect the past, or will there be more? Why didn’t he warg into Ghost or something to help with the fight? [*]The dead Starks in the crypt *did* rise but no one of any consequence even had to fight one, let alone get hurt or killed by one. Also, despite this theory being correct, Dany’s reference to the dead already being there *was* just her stating the obvious. What a waste of a line. [*]Theon did a great job defending Bran. Why did he stupidly charge the Night King? Why didn’t he stay where he was? I think it would’ve been better if he’d been able to spar with the Night King long enough for Arya to sneak up on him (instead of having her literally get the drop on him out of nowhere — was she hiding in a tree or had she magically turned into wind to get past the white walkers?) [*]The walkers used smart tactics and let their grunts do the dirty work while they stayed safely in the rear but ultimately lost. The living used idiotic tactics, and led from the front, and somehow still managed to win. [*]Would I be correct in thinking that the main / named characters are among the only ones who survived? Most, if not all, of the Wildlings, Unsullied, Dothraki, Ironborn, Knights of the Vale, and Northern bannermen (and civilians) are dead, right? Cersei’s choice to stay behind and fight whoever emerges victorious in the North seems like it was the smart choice after all, which doesn’t seem right.[/list] That dates back to season 3, when Melisandre came to take Gendry away from the Brotherhood. She looked into Arya’s eyes and said she could see brown eyes, blue eyes, and green eyes, all closed forever. [/QUOTE]
