[Red Comet]

Holy shit. Didn't think we'd be getting a battle that epic this episode. Also, dat Night King.

 

[Neifirst]

They're.....gradually......getting.....away........

 

[SargerusBR]

Season redeemed

 

[venom2124]

God damn that was amazing.

 

[Namikaze1]

These last 20 minutes were fucking amazing. Goddamn!

 

[Hamlet]

Night King sure loves to show off heh.

 

[someday]

Ok, that was fucking cool.

 

[BlueTsunami]

One of the better endings in the whole series so far. That White Walker duel was fucking intense.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Fuck that. It saved the season.

I didn't want to get too far ahead of myself but if the season ends how it should then it will have retroactively saved the season.

 

[Dreadnought]

Goddamn what an episode, we finally got a Night's Watch vs Others battle.

 

[Vyrance]

That was so fucking good

 

[duckroll]

Valyrian steel IS dragonglass confirmed.

It's not obsidian though. So they merely confirmed that it has the same properties, maybe even better.

 

[Atraveller]

Valyrian steel IS dragonglass confirmed.

No, Valyrian steel is dragon steel.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Night King sure loves to show off heh.

He's a cold piece of work...

Spoiler

I'm sorry

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

That was actually pretty good. No stupid nodding kid or anything to fuck it up.

 

[ryseing]

Fuck that. It saved the season.

I agree with this.

 

[Burt]

yo

last 20 minutes completely fucking saved this episode.

The entire episode was great

But that last segment was probably the best thing the show's done. First big fight that didn't feel like it was filmed in a confined space that they were trying to pass off as something larger.

Now everyone go watch Penny Dreadful.

 

[crimzonflame]

holy moly

 

[Plasmid]

That was incredible.

 

[-griffy-]

That was one of the best episodes of the series I think?

 

[Anoregon]

Yo this ep was dope as fuck

 

[Atraveller]

That's the Night's King from last season. The big booper himself.

I prefer ice Darth Maul.

 

[duckroll]

I was trying to figure out where they got the money to shoot that entire sequence. Then... I remembered the rest of this season. Lol.

 

[Zabka]

I knew what was going to happen and I still felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. That was fucking great.

 

[Obliterator]

If Snow is legit dead forever than fuck this entire thing

Good god those last 20 minutes were the most epic shit ever put on TV

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

Night King sure loves to show off heh.

I was waiting for him to do the whole point at his eyes then point at Jon thing.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Great episode. Surprised it wasn't an episode 9 thing. Even the non-fight stuff was good. Tyrion and Dany should be a fun combo.

 

[Cellbomber]

Only complaint was the boat was further away and then the scene with the dead rising they were super close still. Great ending though!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I was trying to figure out where they got the money to shoot that entire sequence. Then... I remembered the rest of this season. Lol.

they walking dead'd the budget this season. Saved it all up for one episode. Stannis invasion will be shit assuming Ramsay doesn't demolish them soon.

 

[jett]

Shit got real.

Those last 15 minutes were really awesome, best part of the season. But the rest was the usual GOT-ish ho-hum dullness that goes nowhere.

 

[Altazor]

holy fucking shit this episode. Great first half. Great second half.

The best of the season so far, and one of the best of the series IMHO. Goddayum.

 

[Euron]

That was incredible. One of the best episodes of the series.

 

[botty]

and just like that the show is good again

 

[Victory Red]

Tyrion and Danny...works.

I love it.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Finally a good episode this season.

 

[Burt]

Yo so how seriously is Olly going to get bullied in real life school after this season plays out

 

[Linkark07]

At last, something good.

Favorite episode of the entire season.

 

[Dusk Soldier]

Next major book spoiler just dropped. Valyrian steel kills white walkers.

 

[Madness]

Valyrian steel IS dragonglass confirmed.

Dragonglass is obsidian. Valyrian Steel is just another material that can kill white walkers. Just really bringing that a song of ice and fire to the forefront.

One thing I don't like is how blatantly they're pushing Olly knifing Jon. I mean damn, they even justified why he's gonna do it too.

 

[demosthenes]

They're.....gradually......getting.....away........

Do not think of the books when watching this show. Accept this.

 

[Magnus]

That was a fucking ENDING. I did not expect that at all from an Episode 8.

Wow.

 

[Protag]

Oh my god that was AMAZING. CG, Intensity, fighting, twists, John killin it. The seasons been draggin but its finally begginning.


Also, i cant remember, but the TV series is not taking its own path, divergig from the story or not? I remember reports of that happening but i cant remember if this was confirmed.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

Perfectly sets up Jon getting shanked. The NW has NO IDEA what they're up against and won't believe anything they're told.

 

[duckroll]

they walking dead'd the budget this season. Saved it all up for one episode. Stannis invasion will be shit assuming Ramsay doesn't demolish them soon.

What chance does Stannis have against Ramsay and 20 of his best men? We saw what he did with the Ironborn, Stannis is fucked!

 

[Obliterator]

Dragonglass is obsidian. Valyrian Steel is just another material that can kill white walkers. Just really bringing that a song of ice and fire to the forefront.

One thing I don't like is how blatantly they're pushing Olly knifing Jon. I mean damn, they even justified why he's gonna do it too.

Yeah but if you don't know its coming, its harder to notice. We are aware its coming.

Still though, if its permanent, I'm done. Jon does the most epic shit in this thing

 

[ChaosZeroX]

Valyrian Steel hype holy crap. What a fantastic episode. That honestly made up for all the shit Dorne scenes this season. Besides the tits scene of course lol

 

[Ponn]

Joffrey could have saved them all with his Valyrian steel. The true king Westeros deserved.

 

[Anoregon]

Next major book spoiler just dropped. Valyrian steel kills white walkers.

I think it was already heavily speculated, but yeah this is the first confirmation.

 

[SargerusBR]

That was a fucking ENDING. I did not expect that at all from an Episode 8.

Wow.

Episode 8 is the new Episode 9

 

[duckroll]

Yeah but if you don't know its coming, its harder to notice. We are aware its coming.

Still though, if its permanent, I'm done. Jon does the most epic shit in this thing

The show just did the "FINAL BOSS STARES INTO THE EYES OF THE CHOSEN HERO" scene at the end of episode. Jon isn't going to stay dead.
