Game of Thrones Uncut Reaction S7 E6

watching Pudgey eyes wide opened on a few moments was beautiful. She looks so beautiful while crying. I'm a sucker for tears. Her power of prediction is incredible. Spartan is catching up slowly :P

Fernando F.

feedback: like Karl Lashkari said, "your predictions come very quick, you're your own spoiler". I've seen many times on group reactions that one person will realize what is coming and shout it right away. But I've seen people realizing what is coming and letting the episode keep playing until the other person catches on. I suggest to keep it to yourself a few more seconds and allow the other person to be truly surprised. Avoid the spoiler. Watching Spartan's face realizing that they were pulling the dragon out was enough to know that he knew. Let Pudgey (in this case) find out on her own. I think is a lot better this way.

Fernando F.

we just notified our super soldier tier that it was now public for them. we are working on a new system, please ignore.

CpaSpartan Pudgey

I am confused as well. this episode has already been uploaded days ago

Abby

bruh am i reading this right?? Did you just say it gets better and better??? Are you on cocaine?

Sean Carroll

I completely agree, this whole thing could have easily been avoided tbh

GoyangiSica

Is this a double post? What happened to season 8 episode 1. Today is June 18

entendencia

My first comment. But Spartan going off on “is he small now?” was hilarious. Gotta defend Jon. And it was nice to see you skeptical of Sansa’s actions, I was that way as well, but seemed like I was the only one. Also, you guys predict things amazingly quick, you’re your own spoiler.

Karl Lashkari

No Spartan. People don’t hate season 7 and 8 because we miss the cruelty. We miss the realism and the good writing and the characters we loves. If you ride emotions, I am sure this is “epic.” But when you apply logic, this is utter shit. None of it makes a lick of sense. None of it. And its painful that two flopping idiots had this amazing IP in their hands and were too lazy and too stupid to finish it well, and too prideful to hand the show over to the next show runners. Maybe at this point you cannot yet see how bad this is. Its cartoonishly foolish if only you stop and think. “There is no time.” No time? Why not? The dead march on the wall but the wall stands and has stood for 1000 years. So why are you concerned that it won’t now? And how do you know there is not time? Why not ride drogon into KL in the night and pluck Cersei out, take the 7 kingdoms and rally them to support the north. Why go get a zombie to show cersei and hope she complies. Its Cersei. She has her own private zombie. Why would she give a fuck. Did Tyrion take stupid pills? This is all about moving the characters on the chess board, motivations be damned. This used to be a character driven story. Before season 7.

Izattyi

Me too. Season 6 episode 10 was the end.

Izattyi

I see it as pretty solid artistic decision. When you’ve leaned into realism and logistics for pretty much the entirety of 7 seasons, I think it’s okay for a few episodes around the climax when things are supposed to be the most intense, to play around and lean into the fantastical, some would say downright miraculous aspects of the show. Daenerys showing up at the last second to save Jon was a miracle, the Night King killing a dragon and turning him was a miracle, bringing down the wall with said dragon was also a miracle. It’s like the director said plausible impossibilities, but they make the story so much more exciting in the long run. I’m sure if they wanted to be logistical and go the straightforward route a lot of people would’ve been happier, but I feel like creatively that wouldn’t have been satisfactory to the artists making it. A show like Game of Thrones, with its dragons, kingdoms, and armies of the undead, has the potential to lean into the absurd so why not take it there? I feel like we forget tv shows and films are just an extension of theater and drama, you don’t always have to play by the rules, in fact a lot of times it’s way more interesting if you don’t.

♆

I would say straining plausibility a little bit is quite an understatement, but thats just me.

SuddenImpulse

I will live and die on the hill that Jon got Viserion killed.... He did not need to be out there fighting when everyone was on Drogon and ready to leave.

Sara Groeger

This.

KatDorroughMusic

Dislike would be a polite way of putting it lol. There were petitions to get the show remade, there were endless video essays ripping the writers, wanting to end their careers, saying it was the worst thing to ever happen to television. What’s delusional is pretending that there isn’t a massive part of the fandom that actually loathes the final 2 seasons and just sits here and shits on the writers at every opportunity… that’s what the OP was referring to, but everyone’s making it seem like that’s a crazy take when it’s not. There are a ton of hate watchers for the final seasons. I don’t happen to be one of them, it’s okay if you are but just own up to it, it’s not that complicated.

♆

@♆ You should reread Julien's 2nd paragraph and really try to get that through your head. Nothing delusional about expressing your opinions. We can dislike the episodes/seasons and still like the show. As Julien said, it is not that complicated.

Dom

The Director’s explanation of the timeline seems fairly reasonable: “We were aware that timing was getting a little hazy,” Taylor told Variety. “We’ve got Gendry running back, ravens flying a certain distance, dragons having to fly back a certain distance…In terms of the emotional experience, [Jon and company] sort of spent one dark night on the island in terms of storytelling moments. We tried to hedge it a little bit with the eternal twilight up there north of The Wall. I think there was some effort to fudge the timeline a little bit by not declaring exactly how long we were there. I think that worked for some people, for other people it didn’t. They seemed to be very concerned about how fast a raven can fly but there’s a thing called plausible impossibilities, which is what you try to achieve, rather than impossible plausibilities. So I think we were straining plausibility a little bit, but I hope the story’s momentum carries over some of that stuff.”

♆

@julien what’s bizarre is pretending like there isn’t a majority of the fandom who despise seasons 6-8 and specifically pay to hate watch and leave negative comments shitting on the writers… Less bizarre and more delusional. Yes reactions are new content, but it’s reactions to content you hate, therefore it is essentially still hate watching and hoping the reactors hate it too. It’s stunning how people who initially all joined the bandwagon of hating the final seasons, are now backtracking and pretending to be objective viewers just getting new reactions, I’m calling BS. I’d bet money from this point on there’s going to be nothing but comments hating on the show and it’s writing, but let’s continue gaslighting people and living in fantasyland where everyone’s paying to watch because they LOVE the final season….

♆

Maybe despise was a bit harsh. It just seems like there are so many people commenting about how terrible this episode/season is and it just doesnt make sense. Yea the last 2 seasons maybe weren't the best but I have rewatched this show so many times.. nothing I watch compares.

Exactly! I think it can be said that 99.9999999% of actual ASOIAF fans will always love it regardless of the weird machinations of D&D. They can’t steal my joy and neither can the troll. At the end of the day I freaking love these characters so much. I still cried watching the pack survives moment. I’ve watched the entire series through at least a dozen times and it still kills me. There were some unforgivable writing issues but to me, the characters are larger than the writers. D&D are too insignificant to the life of the legacy to kill my joy in those moments.

KatDorroughMusic

Great episode and commentary! it even gets better and better! I love riding the GOT roller coaster of emotions again with you two!

mgamer327 .

@Kat, I agree entirely. While this episode is controversial, with all the opinions that entails, there is a single person here that has made it their mission (yes, literally a mission, they stated as much) to berate and insult anyone who dislikes the episode. They are the source of all this clusterfuck. There is always that one toxic fuck and it's frustrating to see people bothsiding this.

Julien

I have been here since start, might as well stay.

Jaroslav Dočekal

THIS! Exactly this!

KatDorroughMusic

I like the show a lot, even though I dislike a lot of the last 2 seasons.

Christian

As one of the many called multiple times by this single person that I was stupid, pathetic, an idiot, a mindless hive whatever, all the while trying over and over again to keep my comments only about show points of contention and never to stoop to his level, I appreciate that you’re saying this. I would like to feel confident that the rest of us can feel as safe as he did stating our respectful opinions and feeling like we could be as protected by the mods in those instances as he so clearly was. Many times I tried to respectfully end the discussion on my end only to come back to more hateful insults and childish taunts. I’m here because I adore this show to my bones. I have not and never will abandon it even when it let so many of us down. I have an opportunity, for a little while, to love those 2 lazy seasons a little better through their eyes. I’m an empath and I think Pudgey is too, so it’s a wonderful thing to experience and I happily pay for that experience. I just want everyone to respect each other. If you read through the thread I think you’ll see just how many of us tried so hard to keep our comments limited only to the show and debating points of view about the show. Period. And it was hard because he was honestly just trying to bait everyone with targeted low personal insults. It would be great to feel safe. That we are all able to be adults and disagree or discuss things with civility and respect. Because this comment is the only place I saw you step in and moderate any behavior, while this person commented at least 100 times, ALL of them negative, condescending, and disrespectful. He can love them and think they’re masterpieces. I really don’t care at this point. He just can’t call us names like a petty 12 yr old. And that’s where I’ll leave it. I will continue the journey here regardless because S&P are the best reactors in the game at this point and I’m happy to pay them for the privilege. But those stating that they have no idea why people would want to pay for reactions to episodes they didn’t care for are going to do nothing but chip away at their paychecks. As moderators, I would assume that not shaming away happily paying Patreons would be at the top of your priority list.

KatDorroughMusic

@TimTakFoh There's a difference between hate watching the show itself, and watching interesting people like S&P react to it, watching the reaction is not the same as watching a show. No one is hate watching anything here, reactions are new content, you can't hate watch if you don't know what to expect, and i HONESTLY still don't know how they will react to certain moments in s8, i wanna see that shit. Does that make it clearer?

Milorad

It is bizarre to constantly berate or spew negative or irate comments over reactions but then again I spend my money on things i enjoy or know I will enjoy. If I don't enjoy it i don't pay for it or I still support the reactors by watching other stuff they react to that I enjoy(instead of hate watching or spewing hate in comments of shows/episodes I don't like.)

TimTakDoh

Edit: this was posted before @Sudden's last post and was in response to @Milorad but whatever I agree re @Sudden. Terrific mod. And also it seems the mods have kept SnP away from these comments, which is fantastic. All I want is that they form their own opinions on the show. And their joy gives me joy. That's the entire reason I am here. Which is why it genuinely rankles to be told that we who dislike certain episodes want them to hate the show. So much personal and petty bullshit.

Julien

@Julien Personally I have seen people on both sides doing it. I like and dislike a lot of aspects of both seasons (although primarily I dislike them, as I am myself a book reader). Pointing fingers at the end of the day just isn't productive and is going to cause big heated arguments or resentment, and make people feel uncomfortable posting and create an unwelcome environment. I'm hoping everyone can just chill a little bit and focus on debating the content of the arguments regarding the series itself and not getting too personal. People are emotionally invested in this stuff so debates and replies to peoples opinions (on both sides) I think are unavoidable, I just want to try and keep them from getting nasty.

SuddenImpulse

Appreciate it. I am only human, I make mistakes just like everyone else. I think the important thing is to admit, learn and improve when that does happen. Feel free to DM me if you have any other issues or concerns in the future.

SuddenImpulse

It's bizarre to conclude that anyone here despises this show, precisely for the reason you stated: we are paying $12 to be here for this advanced uncut reaction. I am confident in saying that literally everyone reading this at this time LOVES this show. Everyone. But it's ok to express negative opinions about a bad episode. It's really not complicated. I love this show. I like this season. I hate this episode. It's not complicated.

Julien

@SuddenImpulse Man you're a great mod, after that response i almost feel sorry that i was a bit harsh in my comment. It's a rare thing people on internet admitting they are wrong. My respect to you for genuinely wanting to improve as a mod.

Milorad

People have been getting personal in these comments and it is almost entirely those who bizarrely feel attacked by the dislike of this episodes. We've been told endlessly that we're just bitter book readers or mindless drones swayed by the hive mind of hate and incapable of critical thought.. And this Drucker clown has been at the center of it. Shit gets old. I don't like this episode. Others do and I don't begrudge them for it. In fact I have stated here that I am GLAD others - and especially SnP - get joy from it. I pay to see our reactors enjoy themselves, not be bitter. I am genuinely happy about their reaction. But there are people here who can't seem to accept the reality that this and other epsiodes are unpopular and go out of their way to insult those who don't like them. This is not ok. I am glad anyone likes this episode. I really am. But back the fuck off from those who don't.

Julien

@Rey Jr Appreciate it. We are more than willing to take some constructive criticism. If you ever want to discuss how we mod or offer suggestions feel free to DM us on the discord. Happy to have a discussion.

SuddenImpulse

@Milorad I get what your saying, and I shouldn't have supported the one comment, you are right. I do apologize. I am willing to admit my mistakes and work to improve in those areas. The other one was a genuine question, not an attack, because they said they would rather watch something else than season 7, so it didn't make sense to me they would watch a reaction to something they said themselves they would rather not watch. I should have clarified that better since its easy to misunderstand text-only comments sometimes. If you have an issue your welcome to contact S&P about it, or discuss it one one one with me in discord dms.

SuddenImpulse

@SuddenImpulse Ohh reeealy? You're against personal attacks? How about when you and the other person called me sad, simply because i said i enjoy bashing s7-8 (it's fun for me and for many others). And that i should find a new hobby? Like as if you know how i spend most of my time. I didn't attack anyone personally, but the other person attacked me, called me sad and pathetic, and you supported him. We attack only the show, and that person insulted personally most of us. It doesn't matter that he is a minority, he insults everyone. And I'm against banning anyone, i just hate double standards, you're biased and you don't even realise it. You didn't respond to Ray, why you ask people "why are you watching?", is that supposed to make us feel unwelcome?

Milorad

Maybe his plan was to take the dragon for his army all along.

I will never understand why so many people pay money to rewatch and criticize a show they despise. ya'll wild. If you don't like it then don't watch and let the people that do enjoy it be in peace.

Btw i think you do a pretty good job as a mod. Even when I disagree sometimes

Rey Jr

Thank you.

SuddenImpulse

Alright then I change it to a certain Person. This should do it

Rey Jr

"So i can’t even make a statement to a person" I never, ever, ever, ever said that. People make a statement/direct response to other users all the time on here, including throughout this very video comment section, and they are completely left alone. Interpersonal debate is very much allowed.

SuddenImpulse

So i can’t even make a statement to a person. Wow. Freedom of speech really is dead when I can’t even say glazing. What a joke

Rey Jr

" I guess you can’t say anything now. A bit disappointed." Oh come on now this is just being disingeneous. I said multiple times in my post you can talk about and criticize whatever you want. Making a specific post to focus in on a specific user is too direct. "i noticed in the comments that you often indirectly say something against season 7 criticism." I have zero issue with people criticizing season 7, I have tons of issues with season 7. I have also made posts criticizing aspects of season 7, but yes, don't mention those. I have also discussed all my issues with these later seasons on an almost weekly basis in the community discord. You can write a 50 page attack on season 7 and season 8, or deconstructing Druckenbergers arguments and i'll cheer you on for it if you want, just don't make specific posts directed specifically at one member in this fashion. I can defend or criticize the show content how I want, and you can do the same. Just don't focus in on a specific user like this, in this way, that's all. You can do literally anything and everything else, that's far from not being able to say anything. No need to make this a bigger deal than it is. Thank you.

SuddenImpulse

I am gonna delete. But first I am not saying he shouldn’t have his own opinion. I say he should not say to criticism of the show that they are just hate bandwagon fans. Also a direct attack. Seriously ? Because I said he was glazing. I guess you can’t say anything now. A bit disappointed. Maybe you say that because I criticized season 7. i noticed in the comments that you often indirectly say something against season 7 criticism. Like why are you watching then or stuff like that. Or when someone said ice dragon(which he obviously meant undead) you were saying are we even watching the same show.

Rey Jr

@Rey Jr People have as much of a right to defend the show content as attack it on here. Everyone has their own opinion and that should be respected on a basic level. I'm not sure why anyone would want these comments just to be an echo chamber of nothing but hate and criticism. For every one of his posts on comment threads defending aspects of the show, we have other members posting over and over again on threads attacking it. Why is one okay and not the other? This is an attack on a specific community member. That is simply not appropriate. If you want to challenge points someone is making about an episode or the show as a whole, that is fine, but attacking other patreons directly like this is not. I ask that you take it down or it will be removed when we are able to get around to it. I figured it would be common sense that direct attacks on other members would not be deemed acceptable but I guess its not. They have just as much of a right to be here and state their opinions as anyone else so long as they aren't violating spoiler rules.

SuddenImpulse

I already told my point over and over that people can decide whether to like something or not. Thats not the problem. If people tell lies or claim how season 8 is objectively beneath every other season, i will speak up. Btw i see myself more of an entertainment communist, so that every Story gets judged on the same merits.

DrückebergerTV

Nobody taught you sujectivity? You an entertainment nazi? Thats so pathetic. Imagine being so insecure you feel offended or get this riled up about opinions... on a tv show... i just want to cry. The horrible life that must circulate

Rockstar

Someone has to defend those masterpieces, if not enough do it.

DrückebergerTV

This dude Druckeberger is meatriding the shit out of season 7,8. The glazing for D and D is insane. You can’t even criticise without getting told that you „don’t get it“ and you just follow the hate bandwagon

Rey Jr

Nothing worse in this world than a GOT Season 7 & 8 moaner, Pathetic.

they certainly think otherwise, and are enjoying these episodes very much, more than ever I'd say, good for them.

Jake Follain

i’m almost glad y’all saw house of the dragon first so you’re not as bothered by jon and dany!

kallista

That is a really good question! I couldn't handle to watch this episode again so for me I think I will be back only for certain parts because there is no more good episodes left.

Daniel

The funny thing is that I don't get a feeling of rush. After 5+ seasons of build up, I am 100% down for things coming together suddenly. There were very easy ways to collapse travel times etc in ways that make sense. For example, our Magnificent Seven could have taken ravens with them up north. And of course, HORSES. And/or Dany could have been at the wall. Etc. All these things could have considerably realistically sped up travel over... Gendry. I don't feel like the story is moving too fast. This is the endgame. Speed is welcome! I want all the payoffs, FINALLY! But it has to make sense. And here, it just doesn't. The pity is that, it was *easy* to make it make sense: horses, ravens, etc.

Julien

😂😂😂

Zeek

Yup that’s what I thought too. Pudgey is just usually right about a lot of things and she kinda said it with confidence so it made me question myself lol so congrats Spartan, you got one right lol

Chaz D

The first time we knew it could light up was in House of the Dragon. It never happens in GoT and the knowledge that was a component of the table seems to have been lost sometime before GoT.

SuddenImpulse

Then why are you watching their season 7 reactions.

SuddenImpulse

I think so, too. It definitely never lit up on GOT which is why so many of us were so dazzled by it with the first reveal in HOTD. Im sure it was a cool effect someone had for the new series. So since the GOT timeline happens roughly 150 years or so after Dance of the Dragons, neither Stannis or Dany knew it had that capability after so many years…especially with Dany having no one there to show her the ropes after returning to Westeros for the first time out of diapers.

KatDorroughMusic

These episodes certainly aren't bad but I think it's more the feeling of rush that is starting to become present here that really rubs people the wrong way. Gendry's run to the wall > raven > Dany arriving is a prime example of what a lot of people had issues with in the later seasons. However I still really really enjoyed these episodes personally. I do understand that the change in pace almost feels disrespectful to the source material, the story itself and to the fans who fell in love with it. No one wants it to be rushed, we wanted it to get the full love it deserves, etc. I think that's where most people's disliking of it stems from VERY curious how you'll find the next season :)

SomeoneElse

Fairly certain its only HOTD. I like to think its a capability that was forgotten about over the years, that the table can do that

SomeoneElse

I rather watch a Marvel movie than GOT season 7. The manuscript and the plot in this episode is so bad I only gets depressed. As a fan of the show I will say that for me GOT ends when Dany leaves Mereen and Jon becomes king in the north.

Daniel

Pudgey seemed pretty confident so who knows, maybe I’m wrong too but I’m pretty sure Spartans right on this one. I don’t remember seeing the table at Dragon Stone lighting up on GOT. Only on HOTD

Chaz D

Jon IS little and there is nothing wrong with that :D

Hamide Demir

Only thing i never understood in this episode is why did not NK just throw his spear at drogo who was just standing there completly still. Well wouldnt have worked with the rest of the story i guess :D

BølleTM

"Thats rare for GOT" last famous words

Ayo1210

Why did that upset you so much

Tyler Craig

Loving these reactions as always =)

Rainbow

Kit Harrington is short. It's a joke. Get past it.

jenlight

Exactly! thank you I thought everyone was way too biased to get it :D

GoyangiSica

That line was supposed to be funny but these two's Jon worship is such that it completely flew over their heads

Julien

It’s actually worse than that, in my opinion. Once you recognise the writing issues started in season 7 and then reflect on it, you start to see that they *really* started in season 6, with lots of issues there as well - although most are forgivable in that season.

Roy Koopa

Nonsense. This is well beyond the books. Nothing to do with that. As many, many comments point out: it’s simply about the awful quality of writing. People give lots of examples of the very obvious plot holes. So even if you don’t care about about the poor character development, the tonally inappropriate humour, the fall into self-referencing, that’s fine. The plot holes are undeniable.

Roy Koopa

I completely agree; there's so much misery in these comments it's painful to read. I think a lot of people are frustrated to see them genuinely enjoying something they've spent literal years being angry about and even paying money to convince others to stop enjoying. LOL.

walder slayyyyy

Yeah agree with the majority, one of my least fav episodes ever. I just hate how the wrote Arya and Sansa in this episode, so out of their characters i feel having come this far

Ghostcat

Jon is short though, sorry Spartan! But Dany only said this to Tyrion to pretend that she didn't like him. Its quite obvious she's just avoiding the "hes in love with you" thing at this moment. And I get that you guys love Jon Snow but to me he's not the 'legend' in this episode. Daenerys comes to save him and they waste time when Jon could have ran with the guys sooner to leave. She loses a dragon to help him, she's sacrificing much more, so she's the legend here in my book, thats just my opinion though.

GoyangiSica

back when season 7 came out, everyone i know personally, and including me absolutely loved it. some even thought it was the best season ever. same reaction as you guys, i still think it's an absolute brilliant season. but then everyone came online and these book readers were going off about it, and many who loved it had their opinions altered and joined these book fanatics who claim to have disliked it. it became the popular opinion and everyone jumped into the bandwagon. My only advice going forward with the rest of the show is, stick with your own thoughts and trust your initial reactions. I absolutely love this season and the next. so do a lot of people. these D&D haters will pay membership to a reaction channel of a show they claim to dislike just to talk shit in the comments lol it's ridiculous. i guess misery loves company but anyways great reaction. can't wait for the finale

Leroy

Shawty!

David Thomas

I just don't understand why anyone would pay a patreon membership just to talk crap about things in the show that the reactors themselves haven't found a problem with? I swear people just want to make others miserable with them. I'd prefer they stop reading comments so they watch the rest of this as unbiased as possible. That's far more interesting to me as a paid member than a bunch of comments trying to convince them the show they're watching isn't as good as they think.

Joey

I have to say I really disliked the episode when it aired but watching it again through yours eyes was enjoyable

Augustine Lee

They have no chemistry together.... Jon and Dany

Hamide Demir

Jon is a shorty

Jacquelne Vause

SPARTAN made me laugh with his reaction when Dany said that Jon was too little for her 🤣 On the set of the show the cast made jokes about the height of Kit Harington, (the actor who plays Jon Snow) and then they put that into the show, which is why Dany says that Jon is too little for her. Apparently it was an inside joke. 🤣 And the chemistry between Dany and Jon is because they are best friends in real life, I even read that Emilia(Dany) is the godmother of Kit's son. Kit is married and has a baby with the actress who played Ygritte, with whom Emilia is also best friends. And they are neighbors, Emilia says she spends a lot of time with them

Sofia

Season 7 is way better than 8 in my opinion

Tyler Craig

Seasons 7 and 8 are both dissatisfying for the same reason for a lot of people. The plot holes and the illogical stuff. Obviously, D&D could not be expected to fill those holes if Martin is still working on them. Without their master story writer, they're just a couple of TV producers and they did the best they could. But I believe the ending is close to what Martin always intended. He did tell them the major plot points.

KK

Agreed! I was so hype throughout the entirety of Season 7 when it first came out and I still enjoy it to this day.

Jenny Tolls

Being able to watch the whole show in a matter of month is a very different experience compared to viewers who watched it for years and had heaps of time to break down episode the smallest details. That might be why some viewers like the last 2 seasons less. I still like them, lots of payoffs, but the main people dislike is the massive change of rhythm given D&D wanted to move on to something else, and some apparently silly decisions.

Chris C

I don’t blame Spartan and Pudgey for loving this episode and not seeing its faults. The epic moments (Dany coming to the rescue and burning the wights, Benjen reappearing to save Jon, the dragon dying and being raised undead) are emotionally thrilling and momentous enough to thoroughly disguise the weaker points in writing (the catch-a-zombie plan, Gendry and Dany time traveling to the Wall, Jon getting Dany’s dragon killed by running away from Drogon to play “hero,” the clusterfuck that is the entire Arya/Sansa subplot). I remember when I first watched this episode and I loved it. Hell, I still basically love it for all those epic moments, despite clearly seeing the flaws now. I’ve seen this episode half a dozen times and Dany’s dragon dying still gets me to tear up every single time. The cinematography, the music, the acting from Emilia during Viserion’s fall, and the look Jorah gives her as his heart aches for her as she watches one of her children die, painfully…it’s fucking perfect. I LOVED Season 7 when it first aired. I think you really need the hindsight of watching the travesty that is Season 8, particularly the back half, to realize many of Season 8’s storytelling issues began in Season 7, and then you start to see all the faults of the season. That said, I think Season 7 is still completely satisfying in its payoffs of characters coming together after years and years of buildup. Season 7 held a lot of promise and it’s not a bad season overall. If D&D had stuck the landing of Season 8, I think fans would have continued to adore Season 7.

JJ

I think Benjen stood behind to get the wights entertained and give Jon some time... absolute legend.. rip

Fran Navarro

This is definitely the best episode in the entire series. You cannot change my mind on that.

Jenny Tolls
