Game Of Thrones Season 8 Predictions and Discussion

[WillBrink]

*le sigh*
Obstacles to the front, infantry (spearmen) to pick off anyone that gets through the obstacles/defend barricades, trebuchets to the rear-break up enemy formations as they approach, archers to the wall- suppress the enemy as they attempt to breach the barricades, cav to the flanks for hit and run sweeps once the main body of enemy is engaged at the barricades, dragon gun runs as needed.
I'm not even a trained tactician, come on now...

Well, all that aside, in the context of the show-

> Bran's warging- sure, would have been nice to play more of a part, BUT, it was intended more to alert the NK to his presence/location, not as a defensive measure.

But the NK always knows where he is at all times due to the mark, so another hard fail of that episode.

FYI, two dragons survived. There are two of them flying from the Episode 4 trailer.

My wife and I were having a big argument over exactly this and had to rewind the trailer because I was certain that (I know the names but not well enough to know who was on what dragon so bear with me) Dragon #1 (ice dragon) was ripped apart by Dragon #2 (Jon's dragon) and died in that battle and then dragon #3 (Dany's dragon) was engulfed by WW and flew up to it's death unable to shake free and finally returning to battle Jon up close as he hid behind a wall and then Dany ended up on his dragon later or Dragon #2. The story line did a very poor job of even presenting the most basic of facts to us in a concise manner. I had to admit defeat to my wife after rewinding the trailer to see that there were indeed two dragons verifying her version of the story.

It was very poorly covered, but there's two dragons left, apparently neither died of their wounds from ice dragon nor a bunch of dead hanging onto them:

Jon was going after the Night King.

The entire thing was him trying to get mano-a-mano with the Night King. With the Night King just walking away and throwing as many minions at him as he could, before finally deciding to drop a dragon on him. And then Jon got angry and frustrated with the undead dragon barring his path.

I guess so, but it seemed he had some sudden realization, said something to her ( thought he said something about Bran) and ran off toward the castle. He looked quote surprised to run up on the NK.

It is amazing how unattractive Emilia Clark is when she is either smiling or crying, or really anything other than her resting bitch queen face. Those gums and chompers! Gives me the willies. Even the wife noticed it...

Dragon Glass kills white walkers so what did they do first, they basically discarded their dothraki cavalry armed with nothing but fire swords. But this was done to create the visual effect of armies of light disappearing into darkness. So visually creative, so patently stupid from the story line. Basically Dothraki are disposable flunkies armed with pointless weapons. If you gave them some dragon glass they might have wrecked shop a little bit.

You've confused Euron with Theon. Euron is Theon and Asha/Yara's uncle. Theon was Reek and Ned Stark's ward and died defending Bran from the Night King.

Anyway... I thought the dothraki had dragon glass arakh/swords. In fact, I'm 99.99% certain that every weapon used by the forces of light were either dragon glass or Valyrian steel.

One touch I did like was that when we see the ice dragon later on toward the end of the episode, you can see its movements are really uncoordinated and flailing and it's neck is kinda flopping around oddly - the effects of being F'd up by Drogon earlier.

I have a lot of complaints about this episode, and a lot of the other episodes in recent seasons, but there's always little details I can find to appreciate.
