The undead dragon is a glass cannon. We've seen time and time again that the zombies are more flammable than that box of oil soaked rags in your granddad's basement, so the first time it's hit by a volley of fire arrows, it goes up like your granddad's house after the accident.

Is there any reason other than possibly budget/writers suck that GoT seems to have forgotten that the wights are more flammable than California?

Used to be that they'd go up like they were doused in gasoline if you put a flame to 'em.

I just happen to have read a decent amount of military history, and I also love filmmaking and writing. With those combined interests, I see areas where, with better writing, they could have made the show better. They could have easily made some small changes here and there that would have made the battle more realistic, while also making it just as, if not more, suspenseful. Also, using lovely filmmaking techniques that amateur filmmaking Youtube video essayists know are bad is kind of unforgivable given HBO's budget and writing staff.

Whatever, I'm probably being insufferable, but I just wish they had a decent military historian consultant in the writers room.

Anyone who knows anything about military history knows that "cavalry does something loving stupid and gets wiped out" is historically accurate as it gets.

Would cutting Dr. Branhattan's arm off below the elbow and leaving it in some North-of-the-Wall backwoods have stopped the Night King from finding him? I feel like the previous Three Eyed Raven hosed up there. "Well, he knows where we are now. Let's not do anything about it, let's just try to cram your entire postgraduate education into your head in a couple hours. Side effects may include plotline death."

Also since when does Jon carry around a sai?

You mean the dagger that's been in his belt since always?

Edit: A cursory Google search suggests he may have only been wearing it this season, but he's been wearing it consistently this season.

Second edit: Nope, found a picture of him wearing it while still in the Night's Watch. So apparently he's always had it.

Isn't Ed supposed to be like a really good guy (for a noble) and pretty big advocate for the commoners? Gonna be funny if they take off in power because a) everyone else is dead and b) the smallfolk are willing to do anything because they like him.

In the context of throne gaming sure. But if he's the only dude who deliberately doesn't stomp on the peasantry they'll probably support him for no other reason than he's the only game in town.

He never had the chance to stomp on the peasantry. He became lord after his father died, made stupid battlefield decisions, then got captured at his wedding and spent a few years in a dungeon. His first decision when he was released was to roll over and surrender Riverrun to the Freys.

I think the peasantry would view him as weak and ineffectual as opposed to "someone who hasn't mistreated us."

Proud Christian Mom posted:

didn't he basically spend the last 5 years under house arrest, or did he get out from the Freys after they got Arya'd

Jaime Lannister let him out so he could surrender Riverrun, not sure what happened to him after that though.

Were they, though? I thought we constantly saw them getting clowned on. They were basically Worf. I mean, yeah, in theory they're imposing and nigh-unstoppable. But for plot reasons, they have to fall over like dominos.

Godholio posted:

Several of the noble houses were broken up. We're left with the Starks, the Greyjoys, the Arryns, and sort of the Lannisters (but their position is so fundamentally changed that I don't think they count). The others were secondary houses that have moved up to fill the voids left by the destruction of the older houses, or new ones altogether. The Martells, Baratheons, Tyrells, and probably more were extinguished.

Let's check the Seven Kingdoms and figure out which houses that were ruling them at the start are still there.

The North - House Stark. Still there.
The Westerlands - House Lannister. Still there.
The Vale of Arryn - House Arryn. Still there.
The Iron Islands - House Greyjoy. Still there.
The Stormlands - House Baratheon. Still there, thanks to Gendry.
The Reach - House Tyrell. Nope, they're gone.
Dorne - House Martell. ???

On top of that are the Riverlands, which is kind of its own thing, was ruled by House Tully. Also still there.

So one, maybe two, of the great houses are gone.
