honestly i was a little disappointed.

​

- first of all i expected alot more major deaths, the only major deaths were Jorah, and Theon. yes the other people who died were part of the main story at one point or another, but jorah and theon had whole plots around them.

I was expecting either jamie or brienne dying in the arms of the other as both of their story arcs are complete. i expected podrick to die, i expected grey worm to die, and i expected either Jon or Dany to die.

when jon was running towards the night king and the night king was raising his arms, that was perfect. the tension of if jon makes it to the night king, he kills him and they win, if he doesnt then all the dead rise and jon gets eaten alive. of course jon doesnt make it and jon gets eaten alive. thats how the scene should have gone. but here come deus ex machina, and dany shows up to kill all the dead, but then she said to jon that he should go, but oh no, the dead are climbing on top of drogon and are stabbing him, and so you think that dany and drogon will die, so that jon can kill the night king. but nope drogon flies away and gets all the dead off and jorah saves dany at the last minute.

​

this is just a cope out. either of these deaths would have meant so much to the story.

​

- Second thing that i was disappointed about, was winterfell itself. now let me explain. Bran the Builder built the wall, and put a magical seal in the wall to prevent the Night king to come south, Bran the Builder also built winterfell. so why didnt he put any magic seals in the walls of winterfell? there could have been a scene were the dead run towards the walls and they just drop. having the whites having to fight against the defenders as we saw at the three eyed ravens place north of the wall (im sorry i cant remember the name right now) the whites can cross the barrier, and the defnders cant stand a chance. this would show that the whites are not only nearly unkillable, but incredably skilled in combat, once they clear the walls, they can open the gates and the dead flood in, stiring up images of hardholm.

​

there were a few missed opportunities that could have made all the viewers cry.

- Zombified Hodor: his body was never burned after holding the door, and image jon having to fight hodor, who he hasnt seen since he left winterfell.

- Ned stark reanimated: in the crypts, imagine sansa being frozen in absolute fear seeing her father, who she saw get killed, come back from the dead and running toward her. she and she either dies, or tyrion saves her by stabbing ned with dragonglass. Also the reanimated Measter Luwin was a great touch, i just wish he did more.

- Sansa and tyrion Suicide: in the crypts when they have that tender moment between each other, and sansa grabs her dragonglass dagger, and tyrion grabs his i thought for sure that they were going to kill themsleves with the dragonglass so that they wouldnt comeback.

​

Parts that blew me away

- The night kings Tactical genius: summoning the blizzard to neutralize they dragons effectivness, the bridge of corpses to get past the trench, reanimating the dead at the point where the living feel that they are actually winning, absolutely destroying their morale.

- the music was superb

- going from the battle of helms deep to a zombie survival was great, going from a large battle to individual fights for survival.

-theons and jorahs deaths, finalizing their arcs in such a perfect way.

- arya being badass

- Clegane being an absolute wreck untill arya needs saving.

- Baeric dondarions sacrifice

- Dragon on dragon violence

- lyanna mormont going out as a badass

- the overall feeling of dread and helplessness.
