I was gonna post everything in spoilers but there's no need now

I am honestly floored, like for a good hour after that ended I was literally numb and made a cup of tea, shaking a bit, it was that tense and good. Perhaps the greatest episode of television ever, perhaps the greatest visual experience ever.

So I have to start with the moments that most had my chest pounding, or fist pumping, because these moments were epic.

1) I think it is well-documented on here that I am not a Daenerys stan. HOWEVER: Her falling off the dragon, wielding a ****ing sword that she takes off a dead Dothraki, and holding her own... as much as she could, and then my absolute HERO Jorah coming and saving her at the last second I assumed it'd be Jon saving her, I am so relieved Jorah got a final heroic moment and was almost in bits at Daenerys/Drogon mourning him </333333

2) Arya ****ing Stark I have sat uncomfortably for the past year or two seeing all of you bitches (or most) turn on her, say she's unlikeable now, her story arc is boring, who cares about the faceless god, who cares about her assassin training: look what that bitch did This was 100% Arya's episode for other scenes than that finale, though; her stealth in the library was the tensest moment I think I've endured on this show, and that CRUNCH against the wall that gave her the injury we saw in the trailer, was sickening (I mean in the ew not the Yas Bitch Werq sense). I know Melisandre/her was a lot of foreshadowing, but I didn't see it coming that Arya would be The One.

3) LYANNA I actually screamed at the TV at this point. That bitch though. What a girl. (Although why was there only ONE giant? Surely there are others. Weird.)

4) Theon holding his bloody own against the whole army with a crossbow only to go and run straight at the NK after a hilariously-awkward "YOU ARE A GOOD MAN THEON " speech from Bran (WHO DID **** ALL, THAT LITTLE CRIPPLE). I was so sure that finale was culminating with Bran warging into the Night King himself, because why else would there be so much high-tension music with Bran and the NK locking eyes (I mean, there's no chemistry there they're not gonna ****). But no. The 3ER does nothing again.

5) I know everyone foresaw the Crypt thing happening but I really didn't think it'd be that obvious :/ and I was sure the moment Sansa unsheathed her blade, that she and Tyrion were going to kill themselves on their own terms. ALSO: Sansa/Tyrion? Where did that bloody come from?

I was so convinced early on that Brienne would be the first casualty; that scream as she was surrounded was horrifying. I know it's very "please all the fans, keep them alive" the fact that they all survived (Bri/Tormund/Jaime/Gendry/Greyworm/Hound) but still


Off the top of my head, the casualties are:

Spoiler:

- Melisandre
- Theon
- Dolorous Edd
- Beric Dondarrion
- Lyanna Mormont
- Jorah Mormont

Questionable (I can't remember seeing them at the end)
- Missandei
- Sam
- Gilly/baby

Surprising Survivals:
- Greyworm!!!!!
- Gendry
- Varys
- Tormund
