As demonstrated throughout this whole season, the raven Gendry sent arrived instantly at Dragonstone. Daenerys didn't save them till the next day cause she spent all the night picking the perfect dress for a heroic rescue in the snow.

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
I can't believe they actually had Gendry run to Eastwatch, send a raven to Dragonstone, and then have Dany fly back with her dragons in order to rescue the wight hunting party. I know we joke about teleportation but come on. That is thousands and thousands of miles.

And Benjen's death was laughably abrupt: "Hi Jon, bye Jon" *swarmed by wights*.

That's how they did it? Couldn't they just have Dany arrive in a "I knew you'd probably need more help, great timing!" sorta way? That'd be more believable than a raven getting to her and her arriving all in that short of a time span.

Yeah I mean, there is basically a scene of her standing watching at the sea like "are they back yet? are they back yet? are they back yet?", it wouldn't be too hard to believe that she just grew impatient with anxiety and arrived at the best possible time. Specially if they are going the "everything is predestined and meant to happen" story telling route

Sometimes trying to justify something with logic ends up making it's stupidity more obvious.

Maybe the smart guys on Dragonstone remembered that Jon is a colossal idiot and would go about his plan in the worst possible way and convinced Danny to go rescue him before the raven, which flies at like 40 mph tops, was even sent.

At one point in uni I found a really fun yet horrible fact, which is that as of ten years ago Spaniards spent more time in bars than the rest of Europe combined.

No wonder they can't upload a loving torrent, I suppose.

It's because dummies are uploading to video hosting services instead of just using torrents, dunno wtf is up with that.

In anyway Dailymotion is flooded with uploads right now, decent video quality with terrible sound though.

well it looks like they spent a whole night just chilling until the dead realized the lake had refroze cuz Clegane hit one with a rock lol

also the NK was there the whole time watching and not doing poo poo until Danaerys came like he was specifically waiting for her

had special spears at the ready and everything way to go Dany

I find it funny that so far the Night's King is just a better Qyburn. He can cast Multi Raise and his spear actually managed to kill a dragon.

e: wait, no, actually it's the other way around that's impressive. An old nerd managed to do the same things as an ancient ice demon, just in a much smaller scale.

I felt bad after the episode. Not because I watched it early, or because characters are dying off, but because it was the first time that it actually felt like the show is actually coming to an end soon. I was there for the first episode and to see the whole thing starting to wrap up feels bad. Ya I know the whole season has been the beginning of the end, but this episode it was a giant step towards the end.

Benjen gone
Thoros gone
Viserion gone
WW#414312 gone

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
Future S08 dialogue:

Sam, after reading one of the books he stole, which contains information about the leader of the White Walkers :"Man call him Night King and he is of the night".

I feel like that's the exact amount of fan service we can expect from the final season.


Also lol at Dany's only motivation for killing the Night King is personal revenge because he killed one of her kids.

I appreciate how a rider gives dragons +5 to evasion.

Also Jon will ride the dragon that is his father's namesake. Like poetry.

That spear-throwing looks really dumb. They should've just made it all magic (as in, he forms the spear with his mental powers and sends it in the air) if they can't get an actor who looks like he can actually throw a spear/javelin. Although I guess the explosion was magic, unless he hit the dragon in his fire storage or something.

Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
Seriously the way the javelin's not pointed the way it's going in the second shot looks so bad. Way worse than the explosion or the Night King's stiff throw.

It looked to me like the spear burst Viserion's neck as he breathing fire so the flames just forcefully escaped from the new throat hole.

Yeah, he just should have Sorceress Edea'd him tbh. Or have Viserion not be airborne.
