    We found out the other week from Bran, he wanted an endless night. Rid the world of living beings and it's past. The key to erasing the past / memories of it in his mind was Bran.

    Remember that in the books there is no Night King or White Walkers etc. There is nothing to go on, it’s a completely made up story line for the show. 

    White Walkers are also known as the others in the books, they certainly do also exist there.

    That's not what the white Walkers/others really want. I took that to be the 3ER just being a bit arrogant.

    Will have to see if the books explain it.

    Watched it again on the bigger TV for better quality and to my surprise it is still just as dark and I enjoyed it less. Might be overthinking it now but I can see this being a very anti climatic end. I can't be alone in not wanting it to end in a typical good Vs evil fashion and none of the big/good characters die? 

    Only enjoyable scene on the rewatch was the Arya moments, the plot armour on the main characters is getting ridiculous, fighting off 10 wight walkers or more? What made GoT so enjoyable for me originally was everyone was vulnerable and no one had their ridiculous hero moments. I am banking of Tyrion or Jaimie to back stab in Kings Landing to get the old Game of Thrones back.

    Can’t believe people are picking holes in one of the best episodes ever of any programme to be shown on tv. I still have goosebumps thinking about it and I can’t wait to see it again.

    Absolutely mesmerising stuff

    Isn’t that what exactly what happened with the Night King dying(?) the way he did?

    No imo because you knew at that moment he was going to die, it was the only way the episode was ending to save everyone. The way Arya killed him was the surprise. Plus he is the bad guy, I am talking about when they didn't care about killing off a fan favourite, seems like without the books the creativity isn't there. 

    All I am saying is if you take it for what it is turning into, typical Hollywood drama then yeah it tops the food chain, but that's not what got me into Game of Thrones is all

    Maybe, but the walkers were created by the children of the forest to help them take out the first men. Still could be "programmed" into them to do just that.

    It was very cinematic.

    I hope the final....is a huge unexpected and unpredictable climax.

    It can't just be the good v the bad....and then the good just about win at the final hurdle....after all appears to be lost.

    That would be way too typical.

    I don't expect that either.

    Just re watched it and it was pretty amazing and I enjoyed it more.

    I fiddled my TV settings which helped but I think the goal was to make it all feel so chaotic which it did fantastically.

    Recommend a watch of this to see what went into it:

    In all honesty we havent seen enough of the aftermath to know exactly who survived or to truly know what will happen next. Im sure the next episode with have much more context and maybe Bran will explain more about his involvement with the night king

    Was a great battle but there have definitely been better episodes in GOT - Did like how the Dothraki were just wiped out in an instant as made you realise what was going to come in the rest of the hour

    Next episode will be really interesting; will Bran reveal anything about the Night King? (You'd hope so else the character has been beyond boring) - Also to see who has survived i.e. Does Dany have much of an army to now take on Cersei?

    The cinematogrophy for the scene when the Night King is absolutely brilliant though I'll give it that

    That was incredible. In some way, these epic battles are almost like a special in the series. I’m fully expecting the last few episodes to have a lot of double crossing and shock deaths as the threat of the Night King has passed. It’s every man, or woman, for themselves now.

    Wow . What an episode. Just watched it and it has to be up there with anything ever done on TV. 
    I don’t want it to end .

    The whole darkness thing was definitely deliberate on the directors part. I switched all the lights off in the house and tweaked my TV settings just a smidge and I thought it was very effective. They were fighting in the dark and in a blizzard. They couldn’t really see what they were doing properly unless it was right in front of them and neither could we. That was surely the whole point.

    As for the plot armour, they did kill half a dozen well liked characters. True none of the really majors died but there are three episodes to go yet. Judge it when’s it done, but also accept it’s been one of the greatest ever TV shows, ending it will be very hard so a certain amount of let down is a possibility. It doesn’t change how fantastic it has been to this point.

    Just rewatched the big ending again. The knife she uses, is that the one that was used in the attempted assassination of Bran back in series 1? I seem to remember they said way back then that it was valerian steel.

    Yep

    Also was the diagram in the book about Valerion steel at the citadel.

    Yes. Although I thought she gave it to Sansa.

    Wasn't the knife made of dragon glass?

    So did anyone see it coming? When I look
    back Melisandre drops and almighty great hint halfway through but in all the chaos I kind of forgot about Arya, then up she pops. The writers certainly threw me well off the scent.

    Just a shame Melisandre went out without one last big reveal. I'll miss them
