That was difficult to watch. I mean, actually, literally difficult to watch.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So are we now just back to normal GoT. Dany heads to try and take the throne and Arya is back n her quest to kill people?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The important things are, Jaime and Brienne are alive, Jon was kinda useless, Arya is FUCKING BADASS OMG, and I now kinda ship Sansa/Tyrion. Seems about the right order of things.

I agree with everyone about the lighting issues for this episode, but I'm willing to forgive all because HOLY FUCKING SHIT ARYA TICKYBOX STARK KILLED THE FUCKING NIGHT KING AND WON THE WAR AGAINST THE DEAD!
(Remember, Maisie Williams looks uncannily like Princess Tickybox. Which is pretty much the reason Arya is my forever fave.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
You know, what got the Night King in the end was the stop-and-gloat, otherwise Arya couldn't have gotten there in time.
(AND I called Arya offing the Night King!!!! Well, except for "A girl is not a man" but I thought it REALLY LOUD, okay?)
Good death, Theon. Go you, Alfie Allen, bringing the pathos that the moment truly deserved.
(I also watched with the lights out, and still couldn't make out everything. Maybe if I had an HD TV? I wonder if it will be better on DVD. )

While Arya's clearly the episode's MVP, the sneaky MVP, I thought, was Melisandre, who showed up out of nowhere with impeccable timing and actually contributed to the fucking battle. Also, Lord of Light kept bringing Beric back so that he could die saving Arya's life, and she could go onto slay the Night King, right? Melisandre saw all that, and nudged Arya toward the Weirwood Tree with that "blue eyes" comment.
Lord of Light is a hella great long-term planner, I'm just sayin'.

Her "What do we say to the god of death" reminder to Arya was great.

Herding cats for fun
The night is dark and full of fog until I had trouble telling Jon and Dany apart sometimes, much less what the hell was going on elsewhere.
I'm just glad I didn't have to see Undead Ned holding his head under his arm.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I assume that the audience seeing flappy wings and thinking "friendly fire lizard?" was intentional.
I also assume that the only real reason for the dothraki flaming swords was for the visual for tv.
Do we know for sure whether Ghost died?
