Meh. The way they filmed this episode was infuriating. All the fog and snow made it nearly impossible to tell what was happening for 3/4 of the episode.

-Brienne: gallant last stand

And tell you one by one
What makes a gallows rope to swing

All the points I wanted to make re: strategic planning (giving up defensive positions, cavalry charge into a horde of unknown composition and numbers, hiding the most vulnerable next to dead bodies against the guy whose whole thing is "raises dead bodies", etc.) have been made but Jesus usually I can suspend disbelief but it was awful with this poo poo and clearly just desperation to save money during a huge night shoot. Half the time was shaky-cam + CGI blizzard, couldn't see anything. The moment a camera stabilized long enough to show any action it was a clear signal that someone was about to die.

Arya's kill was cool tho

This would've been way better if the NK started slow walking towards Bran and then BAM, a loving Oldsmobile falls out of the sky and crushes him. Then Bruce Campbell steps out and goes "Not this poo poo again."

My friend is desperately hoping this episode was all 'Bran's vision of how badly they'll gently caress up if they follow Jon's plan', and didn't actually happen.

I thought it was bad enough that it was a frontal charge AWAY from a defensive position, sacrificing your only mobile land-based fighters, in the dead of night into an unseen enemy of unknown composition and unknown number, but then I remembered that it was essentially just giving the undead army an even BIGGER army and they would have been better just telling the Dothraki to gently caress off, at least then there'd be fewer dead people. Inexplicable charge. Send out skirmishing parties if you want to delay the undead advance, which gives the added bonus of giving you some intel on the enemy position.

Idiots. Where should we put our siege equipment oh I dunno how about IN FRONT of the infantry!?

that beginning owned then it just became the snow storm episode with a bad ending

arya is basically a mythical creature because she knew a guy from a failed religion and learned to steal fruit

then after her..blood dripping making enough noise to alert the dumbest low level zombies, she continues to use her no sound boots and kill the king of death, immune to dragon fire but not a dagger made from dragon fire

That's exactly what it is.

What is Bran's superpower again? Here's an idea, how about he take control of the Stark Zombies to help defend - that would be a neat thing he could do. Nope, he just sits there and creeps.
