so. it’s been three days and i can’t stop thinking about the episode. in that sense they must’ve made something correctly bc wow, i literally can’t get it out of my head. i still enjoy the show for what it is, it’s supposed to be entertainment and fun, not everything has to be a well-written fantasy novel i guess. but i just cant stop thinking about it, trying to understand the reasoning behind what we just saw, and i just end up more confused.

i don’t want to shit on the episode bc they got many things right. it was beautifully directed, the score was phenomenal, i mean production-wise, it’s top-notch, it shows how far tv has come, those sequences with the dragons could rival any blockbuster, the cgi was incredible, and we had some pretty chilling shots (e.g. the dothraki, when the trench was light up, the dragons) and the whole battle was cool. i was biting my nails and sweating, they really know how to build up dread. but the story simply didn’t match the episode. and the worst part is that they had it all to make it right, but they didn’t. you can still have arya kill the nk, just make it make sense. and they had everything to make it make sense, just explain to us the story of the stark family. in the novels, it’s been heavily implied that the starks have something to do directly with the WW, they could easily twist that into some sort of magical blood thingy that states that only a stark could defeat the AOTD, the NK himself, and that’s why he survived being burned by drogon. it was right theeeereeee and no one would complain cause everybody and their grandmas love the starks, we’d easily accept that there’s something special in their heritage, just like the targaryens. hell, the outrage isn’t even about arya killing him, she’s a beloved character and fan-favorite, it’s about the overall execution of the quote unquote story. i appreciate what they tried to do, subverting the trope of the chosen one, but wouldn’t it have been nice to have jon fight the NK? make him lose and at the last second arya saves him, the endgame is the same, but that way they delivered what they had been teasing since hardhome.

i guess if you try really hard you can accept it, and there’s a certain appeal into what they made, if jon rly was the cosen one maybe the nk didn’t want to risk it bc maybe jon could win and that’s why he raised all the wights, and then he was walking all smug to finally kill bran but he made the mistake of being too confident and that’s when arya gets him. it can work if you don’t think about technicalities too much, but it’s incredibly frustrating to think that they could’ve made the same thing with just a few tweaks here and there that would make it more satisfying.

also, and i think this is the biggest mistake, why is everyone still alive? can someone explain to me how brienne, jaime and pod survived half the episode being against a wall while attacked by like 500 zombies at a time? jaime i already knew he had the biggest plot armor bc cersei, but pod? don’t tell me they couldn’t kill him w/o hindering the story. can u imagine him dying saving brienne? the emotional impact that would have? if you aren’t going to kill them off, don’t show them to us in situations where it was humanly impossible to make it out alive. also SAM. jfc that dude was- i don’t even have words, he was swimming in a pool of wights, all while crying, how is he still alive? i don’t think he adds a lot to the KL plot does he? tormund and gendry were in a mountain of wights, one of them should’ve died and we know it.

these writers were never afraid to do so, they killed off like 7 main-ish characters (including fan favorite margaery tyrell) in the explosion of the sept of baelor, and it payed off! i’m not going to get into the red wedding bc that was martin’s work not d&d’s.

and, if this was going to be the end of the nk’s plot, they could’ve been ballsy and let jon or dany die. the only way i could’ve accepted dany dying was sacrificing herself in the war for the dawn. that’s it. buuut we all know they are both still alive so that they can fight over the iron throne and i just. jeez. don’t get me wrong i love the game of thrones, i would gladly remove the magic element from the novels/show and i would love them even more (the political intrigue is what drew me into the novels in the first place), but does it make sense to have them fighting for a throne that jon obviously doesn’t want and dany obviously does? I KNOW that there will be more players involved, sansa will probably try to get in jon’s head to make him reclaim his right to the throne, but ultimately, these characters have already been built up. we know what they stand for. they can’t aim to have a plotline that’s basically the dance of the dragons when one of the dragons clearly just wants to nap and retire.

ofc we have cersei, and that actually gets me pretty pumped, i feel like she’s been the most consistent and well written character throughout the show, and having her as the main bad isn’t a disappointment to me, but i’m biased bc i really enjoy her character so there’s that (i actually prefer her show counterpart, martin did her dirty in some chapters of affc). however, there’s a big issue w her storyline. euron. if that dude takes out more main characters than the nk i’m going to riot. they’ve completely failed to establish him as a real threat, no one gives a shit about him and it’d be a let down if he kills characters that we have come to care about. not because they shouldn’t die (they should be dead already) but because it’s not earned at all. just imagine euron, a character introduced in season 6 that hasn’t really evolved at all (he’s the most one-dimensional character in the show), that no one gives a shit about and whose purpose in the story i still can’t grasp, killing someone like jaime or tormund or brienne. what a waste would that be. and ik this is my own imagination but the actor did say his character did a lot of “cool stuf” in the season and so far he’s done nothing so i’m afraid ladies!!! they really shoul have developed him more if they intended for cersei to be the final boss, bc i have no clue what he wants or what he stands for, so if any character that has had any sort of impact in the overall story dies by his dirty hands i WILL RIOT. im excited for cersei, so i really hope the pirate is just an accesory in the story and not fundamental to the plot.

another point that bothers me is lf’s death. i know it happened last season, and when it happened i was fine with it bc it supposedly represented the end of the game of thrones and how everyone was now focused on survival. but if this was the endgame all along, why kill him off? had we have him backing up sansa who will surely back up jon and varys backing up dany, we could have had an interesting thing there. had that been the case, the dance of the dragons would look wayyyy more interesting wouldn’t it? because the characters we have left have witnessed death itself, they survived the literal apocalypse, and now they’re supposed to turn on each other? idk man, it seems hollow to me. i guess they could pull it off, but the writing would have to be spectacular in order for them to do so. sansa’s going to have to be one of the main main main players, since she’s the only one with clear motives to betray dany. i guess tyrion could be a wildcard but eh im not too excited abt that, it would be a disservice to his character imo.

and well this has become way longer than i intended, i guess im just worried about how my favorite show of all time will end. there’s so many great things they could still do, i just hope they deliver something that lives up to seven amazing seasons of compelling characters. now that they got rid of the AOTD, they really could focus in human conflict, which they’ve done beautifully in the past, so i believe not everything is lost. we’ll just have to wait and see.
