OT: GOT in 2 days the wait is almost over

*** SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SUNDAY'S EPISODE **** DON'T READ ANY FURTHER

So I don't watch GoT but I watched yesterday the scenes from watch parties around the world when the Night King was killed, So funny, people were beside themselves with joy. They went from horror as the Night King was going to kill some kid in a wheelchair?....than surprise/shock when that girl jumped the Night King....then outright horror when he's got her by the throat....and then exhilaration when she drops the knife, catches it with the other hand and sticks it in his gut. You can see how into this show the fans are, pretty cool actually.

       I avoided all spoilers long enough. Here's mine!

I was a day behind. I had things going on Sunday and wanted my full attention to watching this one. Watched last night. That was freaking epic. Love that kid. What a steely little badass!!!+

That Stark girl sure had great Short-Arya quickness! Wonder what her 3-Cone time is?

'Game of Thrones' epic battle sets viewership record

I guess I didn't see the darkness as a hindrance my enjoyment. More like realism to me. Give you that sense of the confusion and unknown they had. Battle are sometimes fought in poor condition's. Your enemy doesn't care if it hinders you. So he created it. I thought it just more GoT brilliance.

My wife hated it...Thouht the Amazon Firestick had gone apeshi t

8:04...

That was old school GoT

Silly me for thinking there was "happy ever after" endings coming, ugh.

I gotta say: whoever is the Dragon Queen's offensive coordinator... they should be fired.  Their defensive coordinator didn't do much better in the previous battle.  If not for Arya, they'd have already lost: despite having access to fire from above... big walls... and dragon-stone weapons.

I have no idea how this is going to end...So many ways it can still go.

On one hand they appear to have boxed themselves into a corner with the storyline and I'll be disappointed if there is no twist in plot. 

Something tells me we haven't heard the last from Bronn...I think he's going to play a big role b4 this is finished. 

Does everyone think the quality is still high in S8? I loved this show for at least the first 6 seasons, mostly favorable in S7 as well, but now it just feels like the writers are tired of it / moved on to planning the prequels / not sure how to conclude / all of the above. This series was great for its character development, interesting dialogue, and complex plotting, but in ep. 3 there was hardly any conversation - rush, stab, run, run, run, stab, look around silently.
Yeah, I was thrilled to see Arya finally strike, but she ran around scared for 3/4 of the episode like she was still a kid in Kings' Landing, then the Red Witch reminds her...seriously, someone had to remind Arya she was an assassin???

Well they were all fighting against an army of the dead and some of the dead that they had been talking to just hours before so yeah. I am sure I’d have been shitting my pants. Hell The Hound lost his shit at just the sight of fire.

I think the Knight King made a huge mistake bringing in the poor visibility. How did she sneak up passed the army of the dead? Fighting in the dark was how she was trained. I think it finally took the Red Witch to remind her of what she used to fear but is now an asset. The show has evolved. Mostly the kids just grew up. Bran has actually become the one who annoys me most. All the emotions of a Vulcan on quaaludes.

I foresee Arya & Clegane vs Ceresi & The Mountain lol!

My question is how could she not see the iron fleet waiting to ambush from up there?  Then why be in front of those ships so they can hit them.   Burn them from the back where they can't shoot or come straight down on them.

And why just fly straight at them, exposing herself and dragon, but not burn them up (or try)? Was Drogon out of flame fuel or something?
Jon is still on the road and Danerys is being goaded into attack by Cersei. Looks like they will destroy each other and then Jon is King by default.
My actual hope for a while has been that the Iron Throne is destroyed and the entire question of "Who will sit on the throne?" goes away.
