I think they did too good a job of making the ice guys invulnerable and scary, because thematically I agree with sj but they have really played up the dead threat recently. Uneven writing has been pretty much par for the course for the last three seasons so I'm not surprised they haven't done a great job with that messaging.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It was 100% a Buffy denouement with Arya smashing his power center and defeating the unbeatable horde with one blow.
Bah, I say.
There was much to recommend it, but I don't give a shit about bad guys who don't talk who are Ultimate Evil and get dispatched by One Moment Of Truth.
I can't believe they spent so much money and shot it in the dark. Also, I hate the action scenes that were all a confusing blur. I much prefer fight / action scenes where the action is clear and comprehensible and has its own narrative thrust.
Lady Mormont vs. the zombie giant was great. Arya fighting on the steps was great. Loved the scene with her in the library. Actually thought the scenes with Theon and the iron borne worked well enough.
I hated the Bourne sequels resort to shaky cam action and I just think it's lazy filmmaking. It makes you tense while you watch it but it does not stay with you as story at all. And there's no need to revisit it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I wonder if Samwell is now Lord Tarly. I suppose it depends on whether his brother had any heirs.

I guess he is released from his vows at this point.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

He did steal several books.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
anyone else want the spinoff show statue/tomb makers of Winterfell?.
Well, now I do.
Very sad to lose Dolorous Edd
Hasn't someone already given Horn Hill to someone else? I could be making that up.

So next week is it right? That's the end?
I cannot believe we had to kill one of the two people of color.
And the we got Jamie/Brienne fanservice only to have him doofus it up.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Brienne of fucking Tarth would NOT sob and beg her man not to leave her. AS IF.
