    There should've been at least one major death as a result of one of the previous deaths reanimating and killing someone off. I don't think there was, was there? Dany getting killed by a white walker Jorah would've been very fitting of the show. Why did Jorah even come back when all the other Dothraki went down?

    I think the bodies that got into the crypt weren't the ones down there, which were entombed and most of which probably had decomposed. I think the ones that got in (and I watched a reviewer say this, too) were part of the Night King's army that burrowed in just like they did when they killed Max Von Sydow.

    As far as my opinion of the show has sunk, I still have to believe that Bran's purpose will be told in the next 3 episodes. Now, whether his purpose will be compelling or not is another matter entirely. Much like Melisandre, he could very well end up being an empty plot point.

    No they definitely showed a body punching through a coffin and then climbing out.

    The show tried to imply that, while Dany still wanted Tyrion alive, she had also lost faith in his mind and more specifically his strategies.

    Speaking of Melisandre, why did she just kill herself?

    Also, is Arya a point guard or a shooting guard?

    I can even forgive that (if I feel like being generous). What's ridiculous to me is that he (and Sansa, let alone whoever else was in the crypt) ran and hid when the dead were raised. There were plenty of daggers down there, and those zombies were all entombed in separate sarcophagi which they had to claw their way out of. You're telling me they couldn't stab 'em as they were crawling out of their graves?!

    Pointless death to get her out of the story because they had no further use for her.

    Good question. Probably tired of being part of this whole shit show without actually having any purpose.

    LMAO, you're coming strong with the jokes today.

    As for Arya, what was with her going from being a bad ass to seeming scared and defeated to back to being a bad ass again. That didn't really make sense to me. It was almost like someone else was Arya for a few minutes. I was trying to figure out something with her using other faces to explain both that and then how she was out by Weirwood Tree but I couldn't really come up with anything that worked.

    I wish a white walker ripped her necklace off or Sir Beric reanimated as a white walker and killed her (once again would've been extremely ironic) instead of her just offing herself.

    Maybe being in her first real battle. And in her recent confrontations she's always been the initiator. She, in effect, picked the field for the battles. She was fine until she got knocked into the building. Now her plan is out the window, her mortality becomes apparent to her.

    Then Melisande comes and talks to her and it was like she needed that outward confidence to rebuild her own.

    Yeah some of the memes today making fun of the darkness are pretty funny.

    I have a 4k UHD TV and I had every single light turned off in the house and it was STILL dark.

    This is why I can’t wait for him to finish the books, GRR has already stated in his world Stannis isn’t even necessarily dead. I expect things to be much more different and BETTER in the books.

    Ghost better not have went out with 15 seconds of screen time during a suicide charge.
