Arya in the library was literally just Lex and Tim versus the raptors in the kitchen.

At some point in the speech he will make a joke about how Varys had no peener.

Aren't there also like 20 wildlings left alive? They really seem to get thrown into the meat grinder. Any time something important happens in the north, its involves a significant number of wildlings dying.

I just want a Brienne , Jamie, Tormund 3 way suckfest before series end. I'm ok with the Arya teleportation, I just didn't understand what Bran was doing by the time the NK showed up ( he looked bad rear end by the way I was hoping he would talk).

The show would be probably better served by just forgetting he even exists. Unless he does something sick as hell in the next three episodes please do not put him back on the screen. There's only so much rainmanning Bran can do before his enigmatic character arc becomes tiresome and we're way beyond that point

lol I need to stop reading these hot takes on the episode. https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-television/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-3-recap-the-stab-heard-round-the-world quote:The Night King approaches our raven-boy hero, to a few plaintive piano notes. With the calm of a tai-chi master, he begins to unsheathe his backpack sword. And who should come flying through the air—I understand neither the logistics nor the “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” physics of this, and frankly I don’t care—but Arya effing Stark, screaming like a warrior, Valyrian-steel dagger in hand. The Night King turns and grabs her, midair; she stabs him in the chest—with the same dagger that was used in an attempt to kill Bran in Season 1!—and causes him to explode into a bunch of deliriously wonderful ice cubes, his whole horrible army following suit: White Walkers, undead dragon, wights, all those motherfuckers. I growl-scream with such joyful force that my neighbors may dial 911, or at least 311. A thousand C.G.I. ice monsters go boom, and somehow it has brought me great joy. The living have vanquished the dead, and I have become a fantasy enthusiast. jfc

Also he can psychically sniff out any assassination attempts, leading to thousands of years of peace and prosperity

One more because I hate myself. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/04/game-thrones-season-8-episode-3-the-long-night-review/588247 quote:The manner of his offing—death from above by Arya, wielding the Valyrian-steel dagger an assassin tried to murder Bran with way back in Season 1—was undeniably cool. I was a little let down, though, that Arya didn’t get to use her specific skills more (why not have her disguise herself as a White Walker?), but as far as dei ex machina go, it’s hard to argue with the pint-size killer Stark.[ Who is paying these people for their terrible opinions? edit to add more suck: quote:But it was Arya’s slayage that offered the most payoff. Though we’ve seen her shut many an opponent’s eye previously, her hail of staff-whirls and well-timed stabs nearly justified all those mopping scenes at the House of Black and White in Season 5. She felt like the right character to fell the Night King, because she was the one who had trained for this moment the most. She had faced death to face death. lmao

Actually it was good that Arya killed the NK. It was good that Drogon's fire ended up doing nothing (and got to be shown doing nothing). Was Jon going to go swordfight him and go clang clang clang and win somehow? Jon is a good fighter, but there's no reason to think he could beat the scariest dude in the world in a straight fight. A sudden sneak attack in a world where the good guys die in sudden violence is on point. The bad part of the scene was Theon not getting one more Drowned God symbolic moment and getting in a good shot when everyone thought he was dead. It was good that the Dothraki died right away in a suicide charge. When Mel lit their swords on fire, there was a spark of "maybe the good guys can do this..." which was squashed immediately and set the tone for the whole battle. Nobody important dying was bad, and the fuzzy darkness was bad, and the dragons flying around in fog where we couldn't see anything happen was bad. Hopefully more of the little budding pairs get torn apart in the back half so we can have some sweet survivor's guilt.

Nah, someone (Bran probably, since this way he could actually do something in this show) should've stuffed some green dragonglass into the night-king, healing and reversing the spell placed upon him by the children of the forest. Instead of killing this unstoppable force of destruction built to end all human life, they fix it. End the war through a positive action, rather than arya ninja stabbing.
