After rewatch, props to Grey Worm and Melisandre for delivering the most timely, appropriate and badass exchange of valar morghulis/valar dohaeris in the entire series.

Grey Worm sacked up big time during that battle

Grey Worm is that dude.

Watching the making of the episode has me respecting the hell out of it. There’s plot holes and issues in any movie/show. I just enjoy it for what it is. Other than Bastards Battle, there’s hasn’t been another episode I’ve sweated harder over. The 80 minutes was stressful so the show achieved what I was hoping for. I liked the world war z feel to it and I liked the music throughout. The music added to the climax sequence. Other complaints I’ve seen are fair, but I still think you can’t deny how badass the episode was as a whole.

music was dope at the end.  I mean there was a legit moment I was like, welp...they actually gonna do it.  GOT gonna lay waste to everyone.

I think one thing we all have to remember is that the show is now rushed because HBO pulled funding (or whatever they did.) If we had several more seasons of the show, we would have the answers that some of you want and the Night King plot line wouldn't have been done in one episode. Alas, they don't have that time. I think you have to give them credit with what they've been given.

I still think the WWs aren't done.   Too much about the show suggests some circular story IMO where the need for them to exist has some purpose.  I don't see this group somehow breaking the cycle.  Bran has essentially said, what we saw happen has happened many times before.  What happened therefore isn't unique.

gonna hide this theory since it has come from others

 

I'm kinda digging the new theory of the WWs really just wanted the 3 eyed raven.   He is why they have come South. They are finally strong enough and big enough to attempt what they are meant to try.  Take down the 3 eyed Raven.   It isn't about wiping out mankind and the dead ruling.  Or about erasing history.   What does that actually give the WWs?  Why would they want to rule?  They have a singular purpose of creation.  The WWs were created in reality because something special was needed to take out a specific "man". A man that mankind can't because he isn't a man.   It is about taking out one specific magical target.  That maybe isn't as good as we think in reality and is just growing into and learning about the powers/ways/past. 

and once that get's known? Well? They might have to resort to creating a new WW.  To go North.  To slowly build new WWs and an army that one day will be ready to try to take him down again.

I heard they wanted 7 but HBO made them do 8.

This ain't the Matrix, brah. WWs are done.

My prediction: Tyrion will play a pivotal role in the gameplan for this battle. He's been on a cold streak for awhile and really needs a win. Plus he knows Cersei and King's Landing very well.

That has not helped him...I do agree on the King's Landing part though.

I think he was intentionally misleading Dany so she didn't obliterate his entire family. Maybe I'm wrong.

hmmmmm.  That actually is interesting.  Especially if GOT really chooses to go down the road of, we literally foreshadowed how all this goes down and yall just too busy making up what you want to happen.  I mean Arya makes total sense from the TV show IMO upon reflection....and putting the books aside and all they allude to.
