What a trash episode. Dammit, I kept the faith and it backfired. This sucked assbut
I agree. Major letdowns the entire episode. This is the War of the North, the Wall falls, Jon is the Prince that was Promised and was the Lord Commander of the NightsWatch. He kills the Night King, that is why he was resurrected by Melisandre. This was cop out writing.
i think the bigger picture of his resurrection was giving weight to the backstory of his birth and the importance of his legacy. but it would have been more satisfying for him to kill the night king, especially since he has so much more history than arya did.
i still get flare-ups of feeling like RR really dropped the ball not finishing this story himself because benioff & weiss show their weaknesses as writers an awful lot in these post-ASOIAF storylines.
Jon Snow killing the Night King would have been the biggest "fan service" in the whole show.
GRRM told them that Arya kills the Night King. He is still guiding the story.
Where did you read/hear that GRRM told them Arya kills the Night King? Arya is an assassin to kill Lannisters and everyone who wronged her family, not the undead. That is Jon Snow's purpose. Why have a entire series dedicated to the Song of Ice and Fire (Stark and Targaryen) and not have that character be the one to save the world from Winter and the Everlasting Night? It doesn't make sense.
Nah. Jon Snow is the coalition leader but Arya is pretty much an executioner so it made a lot of sense to me that she would be the one to off the Night King. What made sense to me was that her ability to basically sneak up on people would allow her to get close enough to the NK to kill him. And when the Red Witch gave her a sort of pep talk, I think she knew what she had to do.
Look, pretty much everyone in this story thought that they were going to be killed except the Imp the perpetual optimist. Even Arya was pretty much down with her fate, right? So, I think that Red Witch gave her a sort of message that it was up to her to save the world.
I think that this episode made all of the sense in the world because the real climax is the fight with Cercei and company. the Night King really was like a kind of bogeyman in a story. He never talked. No one really knew anything about him and really didn't care. They just knew that they had to keep him and his zombies away from them and learn how to kill him.
And now the real ending is going to take place and the main characters are still in place including Jon Snow, Dany, and Cersei Lannister. I still think that at the end, it will be Jon and Dany and their dragons flying away somewhere and Sansa and the Imp ruling the 7 Kingdoms. I can't quite figure out who kills Cersei but how about this one? How about that Arya and the Hound kill the Mountain and the Hound puts on the Mountains armor and offs Cersei?
