Though pretty entertaining and extremely well directed, delivering amazing spectacle and a satisfying end to Theon’s character i can’t help but be disappointed by the mediocre writing of this episode. Battle tactics that make you question if any of these characters are smart, over dramatic but empty dialogue that’s something out of bad blockbuster flick and answering nothing about the Night King. The white walkers drop mysterious symbols throughout the show and nothing is answered, why??? That’s simply just empty writing. And remember how they foreshadowed Jon to defeat the night king several times over? Well they changed that just to subvert expectations. Throughout the entire show they basically say “Winter is coming, the only thing that matters is the Great War… not petty politics!” But I guess petty politics is really the only thing that mattered in season 8… welp, that’s my review 6/10 from me. Winter came after years of anticipation and it lasted about 90 minutes. The way Season 8 handles the white walkers, you’d almost think it’s a Mere subplot. “They defeated Satan and now they’re arguing on whose gonna be the next president.”
