The Dothraki dying in the manner they did was also probably due to budget reasons - very expensive fighting scenes!

Just managed to catch up with this. Managed to mostly avoid spoilers. Great episode, although I hope some of the back story of the NK and Bran is filled in during the last three episode. Although NK is dead there are still huge questions about their connection and the look between them before Arya jumped him. I guess they will keep a lot back for the spin off if it happens. Given they have virtually no army left it's hard to see how cersei v the survivors will fill up another 4 hours of tv. I imagine they will start turning on each other again now the NK is done.
I'll have a punt on Bronn killing Jamie then Arya taking his face to get close to Cersei.

GRRM on Lord of The Rings - "And the scouring of the Shire —brilliant piece of work, which I didn’t understand when I was 13 years old: ’Why is this here? The story’s over?’ But every time I read it I understand the brilliance of that segment more and more. All I can say is that’s the kind of tone I will be aiming for. Whether I achieve it or not, that will be up to people like you and my readers to judge.”
The pieces are falling into place. I think the conclusion of Winds of Winter will be the defeat of "The Others" and the Army of The Dead. With A Dream of Spring picking up with the war against Cersei and the aftermath of it. Calling it now.
Might not happen in the same way, with Arya doing her thing and all that. But I think it will be more or less structured the same.
Judging by the backlash against the episode, people are going to be very pissed when George finally does get around to finishing his books.

The craziness is, there is still so much going on in the books, which - with much less - the TV show makers dealt with rather brutally. I cannot see that being cleared in just 2 books unless GRRM uses some of the same easy exits they used. And that would be a shame.
I very much, well enjoy would the wrong word, but I thought it was a good episode. And while you had to concentrate, it was not that bad to watch, darkness-wise. And I am pretty sure they have a very good reason for rushing the zombie thread. So there must be something left-field waiting in the last 3 episodes.
I'd laugh myself silly if it ended with everyone dead and Cersei still on the Iron Throne, sipping wine. Or maybe she just goes digging for other dead kings to have a party.

At least George gets 2 books to finish it off. If my prediction is right, then D&D are literally doing an entire book in 3 episodes. WTF!
But that does seem a little much. So maybe it will happen in the first half of the last book.

meh to the last episode. some alright sequences, but not enough main characters died. the horse army gets extinguished in 30 seconds, but the head fighter dude with a spear and no dick, who is on the front line when the dead literally trample over the first line, is still kicking. how many times did one of the mains ('fat nerd', jaime, 'big bitch') get swarmed by a group of dead, but somehow make it out. and even the guys that died (like 'blondies dad' and the dude protecting bran) lasted way too long. how many times did 'fire sword with eye patch' get stabbed in the torso?! and then a bunch of weak women, geriatrics and children without weapons somehow manage to stay alive while trapped in a crypt full of corpses? great plan by the way...the dead seem kinda p!ss weak to me. altho credit to the little warrior chick who went out in style. and way to ruin the ending red witch woman. her convo with arya did nothing but tell us what was going to happen.

They said no one could defeat the Night King. No One did
But shit episode, I feel bad after every episode because I am wasting my time on this telenovela. This is not the show that I once loved and every reason why I became fan is now gone. But how can I stop now after 8 years?

But how can I stop now after 8 years? why? Although it is fantasy drama, this show was very realistic if we talk about human relationships, consequences for your actions... That's why fell in love with this show. For example, if it is your time to die, then you die. When they killed Ned Stark that was the moment when I said - ''Yeah, this is my kind of tv series''. Now it's full of pathetic Mexican soap operas moments, just wait for last moment and everything will be fine. Good will defeat evil and all main characters will be ok... Birds are singing, sun is shining... 8 fucking years we are talking about WW, who they are, what they want and now they are gone in one second. Plus at least 10 so fucking stupid and unrealistic moments during the battle. And I'm not 12 anymore to masturbate on big battles, special effects, dragons and all that shit and to be satisfied just with that. Am I happy with that? No I'm not! I want more!

And it's fucking 2019, making those big battles it's not that special anymore. Peter Jackson done it better like two decades ago. You got money, you got time, you got previous works to copy, you hire all the best or one of the best guys to do all that special effects and shit. You got 8 fucking years of anticipation for all that, big armies on both sides...big story, lot of important characters... I mean, it's like watching USA National basketball team playing World Cup with all their best players and Popovich as coach. You know that they can do no wrong and that they will win the trophy but when they do that, you don't have the feeling that they did anything special, although they won gold fucking medal. But if they play some spectacular basketball, revolutionize the game, show us something that we never saw before...
This supposed to be GOAT tv series, that episode should have 10/10 on imdb not 8,9/10. And they had all the potential to do that. It's not really shit episode but it's like Noel's new song. If my brother wrote it, I would be so proud and think that it is best song ever and listen to it all day. But when you know that Noel can do so much better than that then you feel kind of cheated.

Since they've passed the books it's not been the same. It's still good and I enjoy it but it's not great anymore. The dialogue is not as cleverly written, Some of the characters seem to have plot armour now whereas before you felt anyone could die (Sam Tarley could have died about five times in that battle). The Dothraki charge was simply done to make good tv when in reality it was a stupid move that didn't make sense. They knew the white walkers could rise the dead so they sent thousands charging towards them to die and join them.

I want more! i get where youre coming from and i too have my problems with this episode especially concerning the WW but at this point i try to stick to my initial feeling about this episode and it was one of the best experiences i had while watching a TV show or movie in years. i know the plot over the last two seasons was paved by stupid decicions for a great dramatic outcome but it worked for me most of the time. after all its still a fantasy story which was inspired by LOTR. "i'm a professional cynic(fuck i love that they killed of robb stark, ned or gave hodor one of the best character twists of all time) but my hearts not in it" (but i'm also romantic enough that i want dany and jon to bang and rule happily until the end over westeros )

Does anybody else ship Sansa and Tyrion? They have great chemistry. That scene in the crypts was one of the most interesting moments in the episode. Not even in a romantic way. Just more like a platonic marriage. For the sake of their houses and the legacy. Maybe one day it turns to love. But for now, it's just for support of each other.
Also, was that a bit of foreshadowing for Tyrion and Sansa? The rift they proposed would occur between them and Dany if they were to join their houses?
3 episodes left and so much to do. Curse George for not finishing the books and letting these things be more fleshed out.

Curse George for not finishing the books and letting these things be more fleshed out. I would not use the word "ship", but I have always wanted them together in the long run, ever since they first got married in whatever book it was. More from her POV, because she used to be that shallow young thing, dreaming of her pretty prince and then, BAM, gets married off to, well, Tyrion. Which, ironcally, apart from the fact that she was a child back then, would have been the best thing that could have happened to her, because we of course know that Tyrion is kind, treated her well and never would have laid a finger on her and the pretty prince was the monster.
But it is a bit more complicated in the TV show, as here she got horribly abused by Ramsay, so I'm not sure she would want any man ever again. But that scenario you laid out, I'd like that! Just not sure anybody is walking into any kind of nice future here.
