Open next episode: Arya is with Bran over the remains of the Night King, a ship descends from the sky and a bunch of other crazy Night Kings come out. Arya says "okay, who's next?" The Night Kimgs gather up his remains and bring them aboard the ship. The last Night King turns around at this last second and throws Arya a pistol with 2019 engraved on it.

The ship blasts off into the sky.

I get the feeling the next episodes will have a little bit of talk about how few fighters they have left but it'll still be a visible assload when the time comes. Really though it seems like Dany's all out of army and is down to one dragon.

How you could get any other impression is beyond me. It's two dragons, though.

Now Arya is the one who has to push Bran everywhere, at least until he turns into a tree and lets children play inside him

These behind the scenes followups are a great way of destroying the mystique surrounding the show because the two showrunners are so clearly done with this crap and they're just throwing poo poo at the wall to see what sticks.

Why don't you pause the episode 4 preview at about 22 seconds in and tell me what you think

are you kidding me, no one else is dying

this was going to be the episode that wiped out half the cast, but the only casualties of The Final Battle were three minor characters and Theon, who I'm not sure is even necessarily dead

I'm really curious how this is going to work post-battle. Her Dothraki horde seem gone, the Unsullied seem mostly wiped out but there seems to be an infinite supply of them. We've seen the Unsullied lose a lot of battles and major portions but there are always enough to make for giant CGI legions of them when they do an aerial shot. We saw a lot of main characters inexplicably survive.... but there didn't see mto be many regular folks alive by the end. I get the feeling the next episodes will have a little bit of talk about how few fighters they have left but it'll still be a visible assload when the time comes. Really though it seems like Dany's all out of army and is down to one dragon.

The preview shows a bunch more unsullied so lmao there really are an infinite supply of dickless thralls

The gently caress kinda name is Rhaegal. It literally sounds like what a Scottsdale woman would name her kid.

I should not be surprised they killed off the all season threat in a loving minute when there is three episodes left still.

I thought they left Sam kinda open-ended, and I thought Rhaegal not being seen after he crash landed was shorthand for 'hosed off until the plot called for him again'

Drogon, though, I thought was a done deal. When people said there were gonna be 2 dragons in the next ep I thought they were just retarded assholes. Little did I know that the retarded rear end in a top hat was actually me the whole time

the ice zombies charging over the defending army like those green ghost pirates guys from lord of the rings was real bad and then they turned into the world war z zombies that overcome any obstacle by stacking themselves like hordes of ants

also sometimes they explode when they get hit by dragon glass like the zombie giant but sometimes they dont?

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 8, Episode 3 Recap: The Battle of Winterfell Exceeded Expectations.

...

Sunday’s final clash was a masterpiece of tension and release, goose bumps and heartbreak, grandiosity and intimacy. It deftly mixed genres (horror, action, melodrama), shots and planes of action as it shifted from the chaos of the fighting in and around Winterfell to the claustrophobic terror of the crypts to the dragon dogfighting in the winter sky.

...

Arya’s climactic dispatching of the Night King was genuinely surprising and thrillingly rendered.

Cuz life sucks, kids. Get it while you can.

This ep was fine, I guess. Battle of the Bastards was way more compelling.

Past a certain point everything is so completely hosed and hopeless you just start guessing who will kill the night king, because that was the only option left.

Okay, welp I really figured even leaving her one dragon was a bit too much but okay, she gets to keep both for now. I guess at some point one or both die but there will be some little eggies quietly revealed.

People are still going to die, but the popular characters can't just die in some chaotic cgi battle, they gotta say a thing and have a moment before they go. Finish an arc, then die. This episode was just cleaning house on people who might as well have already died, or have died, or don't have anything to do after this anyway.

Then again, they kept Bran alive. He didn't really have much to do before, I wonder if they'll bother wheeling his rear end to King's Landing so he can give Cersei a dead-eyed leer or two.
