Thats not exactly true either. Dani had a good attempt at roasting him, theon had a good poke at him, Jon would have had him, if the NK hadn't raised more dead, and last but not least, Bran gave him the stare of knowledge .... all before Arya stuck the knife in

I loved when The Hound picked Arya up and started running with her. "We have to go!!!"

ALSO (and Ik Sansa doesn’t know this) but Dany could have quite easily killed Jon this episode if she was that bothered about the throne, but she didn’t, this whole narrative that that’s all she cares about needs to STOP

The thing is, Cersei had a lot of those little style chats with her, and look how that ended up. I don't think Dany is the Mad Queen btw just explaining Sansa's mistrust of her.

I was so sad when Lyanna Mormont was killed

Went out like a boss tho

Lyanna Mormont, the Giantslayer! Saying that, probably no one left in House Mormont now, House Giantsbane to move in?

[bitontheslide]

Lyanna was supposed to be a 1 scene character so it says a lot for the actress to have brought her to that heroic end

[Scarlett.]

You know, I just read something about how this battle was the climactic battle, and the rest of the series is basically "what happens after" which is making me feel better about the whole thing.

5 is a battle too though isn’t it?

Apparently so, but the battle of Winterfell was to make sure the world had a future, the next three episodes will be about making a new future for Westeros.

[Jessica.]

Does anyone think there might be some kind of spin-off in the future?

Seeing as they’ve spoken so little about it, I wonder if it’s going to be a winds of winter moment with something shocking that nobody saw coming

There’s numerous planned, the first is set during the initial long night and the begging of the walkers

I do think Cersei is gonna have something up her sleeve no doubt, it's gonna be interesting seeing what she has planned. I just hope Ewwwwron dies quick cause he's annoying

[Amy Jade]

I'm rewatching it with somebody who hasn't seen it and stupidly emotional about Lyanna but I'm so glad she went out a hero

[Shaun]

I suppose after all of this, Cleganebowl is still on. I would assume the Hound wins with a little trickery taught to him by Arya. I want my Oberyn avenged

Her actress was incredible, her body shaking and her eyes dying when she was picked up and crushed was so realistic and sad I actually welled up when she charged at him. Such a hero like her uncle.

[bitontheslide]

Fun fact: When Brienne and Jaime were fighting side by side, they were defending Winterfell with the 2 swords forged from Ned's blade

Bella Ramsey's already shot a movie playing Judy Garland's sister opposite Renée Zellweger.

As with Maisie and Sophie GOT has become a great launchpad for child stars.

[Brother Leon]

Phenomenal episode. So happy Arya got her moment of glory, buT fully agree with you All that not enough casualties. The war with Cersei just doesn’t interest me at all because she’s so outmatched.

Theon and Jorah going out like champs

[RileyH]

Lyanna & Melisandre </333

At least Missandei, Dany & Greyworm survived

[Brother Leon]

Also

Ser Davos has now survived The Battle Of Blackwater,The Battle Of The Bastards and Now Battle of Winterfell. What a legend of Westeros

I thought so too, felt so sad but what a warrior. The actress played the role so well, it's a testament to her talent that people seem more bothered by her death than most others.

Amy barlow was not that iconic y’all are reaching

I've been saying as much for years and I reckon the books won't be that much different from what we've seen regarding the White Walkers, especially if they are all linked to the NK like they were in the series.
