I don't think Brienne has gotten a single good fight scene other than her Hound brawl. She just grunts and screams while flailing madly and struggling to keep up with everyone.

So what were the spoilers from a year or so again? Something like the final boss battle is Jon Snow vs. Euron Greyjoy, and then everyone gets blown up and Sansa ends up being the Queen? How on track are we with that as far as the season is progressing?

I hope beric just shows up in the next episode with a throwaway line about the redy lady bringing him back before she got dead

It would be better if there was no dialogue addressing it, and no character gives him even a second glance. Just appears again in the next episode.

How is it more believable that Arya ninja jumps to the Godswood and stabs the NK on her own than Brienne, Jaime, Jon, Gendry, Arya, etc engages all of the WWs in a battle to death together? So much less moronic than the bullshit nonsense we got.

She spent 7 seasons training to be a ninja.

Besides, getting the WW's and NK alone opens up its own can of worms. All the medieval warfare experts would be up in arms about the poor tactics that'd allow such a situation.

If George RR Martin's Lazy Discount War of the Roses follows the real thing, it's going to be Sansa and Tyrion marrying to unite the houses of York and Lancaster Stark and Lannister.

They are already married and that's totally what that scene in the crypt was foreshadowing.

Wait what the gently caress was the deal with bran wargfucking someone and that was him telling the mad king aerys how to beat the dead brainfucking him into screaming BURN THEM ALL until jaime knifes him.

how the gently caress is that being resolved now because that was the only theory that made any sense at all.

Amazing battle tactics of charging dense zombie horde and they are basically knock-off mongols with zero body armor.

What a dumb rear end fantasy culture since just about every steppe horseman culture was smart enough to have armor.

Oh man those were hilarious, now I wanna find them. It's entirely fiction at this point

Edit - IIRC, Bran would already be dead at this point and become the next Night King, Daenerys needed to have a baby by now and have her corpse dragged through King's Landing next episode

Edit2 - They're linked here: https://www.desinerd.co.in/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-3-leak-script/

It would be fitting because no character gave him a second glance when he died. One of the most unique characters in the series and poof thats it.

I can't figure out the purpose of putting the two of them in the same room together would be if not to bring him back again. Beric was clearly mortally wounded in the hallway and doing his best Hodor impression to let the others get away, then magically appears at the door with the rest of them. He could have just had his death scene in the hallway getting cut to shreds and not die in the same room as the only other person in all of Westeros we know of who can raise people from the dead.

But nope, nothing. Not even acknowledged.

Edit: Also he died to save Arya who is still armed with two zombie slaying weapons. Arya, who minutes prior was an unstoppable zombie murder dervish. This was his entire god-destined purpose.

Having Jon stumble through the ruins of Winterfell rallying the remaining handful of survivors main characters as they rush to the weirwood to try and save Bran but get stopped by the white walkers would have been good.

Then Arya can stab him.

Game of Thrones has been a trashy shallow shadow of its former self for like 4 seasons and the writers don't give the smallest poo poo about the details beyond one dude stabbing another dude.

Eat the horses, put the Dothraki on the walltops. Jon and Dany should be dragon-strafing the zombie horde the instant the zombies show up. "Flanking maneuvers" aren't going to matter against a 200,000+ horde of zombies that don't think and just mindlessly charge at any living human

but really the whole "draw out the Night King to get a shot at him cause his death will end it" was a good plan, even if you destroy his zombies, he'll just get more if you don't kill him

sure okay
