    Best scene in the episode for my money. The reaction of all the other armies' soldiers to the few surviving Dothraki actually running away was great.

    As for battle plans: sending all your light cav straight at the center of the enemy line with no infantry support is how Harold Godwinson lost England.

    Also if you have air superiority why not lay down the fire on the advancing dead long before they reach striking range of Winterfell? And if you have trenches full of wildfire directly in front of the keep, why not also have a concentric outer trench, advance no soldiers except scouts, light them with the dragons, and create a killing field with no escape for the dead?

    This is great. I'd love to believe that the writers quite wittingly took their unimaginably large treasure troves of money and gave all of us viewers of their ridiculous 100-hour TV movie the middle finger.

      From a strategic perspective it was horrible. However, the writers obviously wanted to winnow down the numbers now so when the winners take on Cersei and the Golden Company it seems like impossible odds.

        The score for the last part of the show was haunting and beautiful. Reminded me of the amazing score from the ep where Cersei blew up the temple

          That's Ramin Djawadi, and he's unbelievably talented. Give him a YouTube. He also does the music for Westworld.

              Finally caught up. That episode was amazing. The Dothraki shot was ****ing brilliant. Everything after that was gravy.

              All the complaints be dammed.

              Now I need sleep. Somehow.

                So were also just down to Arya’s dire wolf now, right?

                We didn’t exactly see Ghost die I suppose.

                  There's a shot of Ghost in the preview for next week.

                      Also looks like Bronze Yohn made it through. I swear I see someone with a white cape in the preview for next week.

                        It honestly seems like way too many known characters survived the episode which doesn't seem right for Game of Thrones...House Mormont went extinct but beyond that, it isn't much?

                          More major characters died at a wedding than in a night long battle against the dead. Our friendly death pool is very sparse halfway through the final season

                            Yohn Royce is far from a major character, they didn't even show him in the episode I believe.

                            Also, how many major characters died in the red wedding again? I count six major ones from this last episode. Theon, Jorah, Melisandre, Beric, Lyanna, and Edd. One can argue that the final two aren't major, and if the course of the entire show is considered they'd be right. But recently they'd had a lot of screen time and served a purpose.

                              Red wedding was Robb, Caitlin, Grey Wind, Jayne. Wasn’t that it? Edmure survives.

                                And Jeyne is hardly a major character either. She is only significant because she married Robb, other than that, she was a nothing.
                                Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.
