What if the undead have gotten into the crypts, or the night king is able to resurrect the skeletal remains of the dead starks and used them to attack from the rear?Ifreann wrote:Pretty funny that Sansa and Danaerys were friends for, like, five seconds.

My issue is more that, if they’re going the way I think they’re going, they’re gonna end the night king arc in the next two episodes, which is kind of a premature climax unless Cersei is gonna be an even bigger issue, but even then sucks cause it makes the Night King second fiddle

Which is why i dont like that this season is only 6 episodes, i wish this had a full 10 episode run, same with season 7.

Last season definitely felt rushed to me.

Well it’s bound to happen. We’re in the final act of stories that have been 9 years in the making. It feels rushed because they’re tying up loose ends. There’s little set up a ton of payoff. Waiting a year and half between seasons, and week between episodes compounds the issue, but if you watched the whole series beginning to end binge style I’d wager it would feel more on tempo.

Mrs mermania did that before this season and I watched a bit with her, we still both feel season 7 felt rushed and should have stretched out to 10 episodes.this season so far the pacing feels better, but since there are only 4 (?) Episodes left I am afraid it is going to be rushed again.

However, the very fact that the chronological order is set out so obviously makes me think that there is some kind of twist involved - like, maybe the NK isnt actually at the gates of Winterfell (wasnt it odd that the last scene was just his lieutenants with no sight of Viserion) but en route to KL?
I too would find it rather disappointing if Cersei trumps the NK as the final villain.

After all, once Sauron (the Night King) is defeated, Frodo and company return home and have to deal with Saruman's (Cersei) mini-Mordor in the Shire, who is a much lesser threat.

Bit shit.Sure, but otoh...how else could one convincingly neutralize an undead horde in a fantasy setting? Hack down every last rotting, shambling zombie into tiny bits? Sounds stupid and undoable. Somehow make it so that they change course and wander back to where they came from? Magically make them human or at least peaceful again? Lame and double-lame.
