I know that battle sequence was played for full dramatic effect, but if you really think about it, their tactics kinda sucked.  :P

This is it. The most epic of them all. The best of the best by a mile. Walang sinabi Avengers movies dito! Sobrang ganda nitong ep3!

Saw this earlier and I think it was great but really for me a great 7/10 lol

Maybe it's the Endgame hangover, also if you've lived through Helm's Deep, you know battles will always be measured by its standards.

Anyway here's what bothered me about this episode

My reaction after watching is "yun na yon?" I know like 6 characters died but really like another member said they've built it up so much so I was expecting more.

The Night King is dead, so that's it na? I thought he was the Endgame? Si Cersei pala.

Why did Bran go on Warging while everyone was defending and dying for him? Did he try to seek help or trip lang niya maglipad? LOL!!

Some people theorize he warged into the past to remind his past self to give Arya that dagger.

  • Music was ON POINT for the whole episode, especially the ending. Ramin Djawadi outdid himself here.
  • Theon craping Greyjoy! Excellent character and redemption arc for Theon, impeccably played by Alfie Allen.
  • I like how Melisandre was used in a Gandalf-in-Battle-of-Helm's-Deep kind of way and not in an Aragon-with-Undead-Army-in-RotK kind of way. Enough to help significantly, but not so powerful as to trivialize the battle.

Exactly, why charge away at an unknown/unseen force ........... if they die, they become wights and just add to your number of enemies.

I always though that their strategy will be staying closer to Winterfell and making use of fire somehow - since it's the greatest enemy of wights.

Hehe, we've seen too many battle scenes from too many movies.

If you look at the resources and objective of the combined human army, the strategy was correct.

This was not the usual siege defense of outlasting the enemy by hiding behind the castle walls or waiting for relief from another army.

There is no stalemate option.

The goal was to eliminate the Night King.

Medyo fail din sin NK. He could have won without exposing himself and the other white walkers. Pero for dramatic effect kelangan siya mismo ang pumatay kay Bran.
He didn't even get to use his sword. Yun ibang white walkers tumayo lang.

I kinda predicted that the Night King arc will end in mid season and Queen Cersei is the final boss fight. IMO wala kasing drama kay Night King, it was like the producer scrubbed the fantasy stuff to make way for the more serious and personal conflict drama in King's Landing.

Cersei has always been the baddest, biggest enemy of them all ......... it will end with her end.

The first 3 episodes were great - hope we won't be disappointed with the final 3 episodes.

Like I said, I just kinda accepted that it was all done for the sake of dramatic impact.  There's room for a little nitpicking here and there, but I wouldn't want it to keep me from enjoying the show.

So I saw this one review claiming rather confidently that Arya was Azor Ahai.  Was she?

Parang sya nga, yung tweet nya after finishing the filming of her role in GOT eh... #lastwomanstanding and #barely

Baka sya at si Gendry ang matira. Hula lang  :D

Regarding sa battle plan, nabago daw yun nung makita ni Daeny na ma wiped out yung mga Dothraki, kaya inaawat sya ni Jon Snow sa gagawin nya pero hindi din napigilan.

May nabasa akong discussion online
Bakit daw nung previous season, nakapagdala sila ng wight sa King's Landing in a wooden box, hindi nakalabas. Pero yung dead sa crypt ng Winterfell, nakalabas mula sa marble/stone :D E sina Ned lang daw ang skeleton don, mostly ash na dapat yung iba :D

^ Mabubuhay pa ba si Ned eh pugot na ulo? Baka pag nasa crypt nakalibing parang medyo preserve kagaya ng nasa pyramid? Iba siguro yung command ng Night King, yung kagabi kahit sa apoy inutusan mga wights to move forward, while yung wight sa King's Landing mahina signal sa sobrang layo hindi na receive yung utos ng NK or baka hindi alam ng NK na captured yung isang wight nya?  ;) :)

Yeah, though not everyone was aware of what was really happening with the streaming and all which affected the quality too, Siempre hundreds of thousands or even millions watching at the same time.

and who expected the night/dark scenes almost the whole episode right?

Absolutely! I mean, the effort of wasting 10 seconds alone to adjust your settings is gargantuan! I mean, in this day and age our content SHOULD be handed to us on a golden platter and we should never be bothered with such trivial things as having an entire article dedicated to where to get the content and how to buy an OLED television while the damn thing is showing, right?
