- What do we say to the god of death? NOT TODAY!
Addie had a full spiritual journey with this episode
As one normally does the first time watching it
From the choreography
To the sets and effects
To the small quieter moments between beloved characters
To that INCREDIBLE score from Ramin Djawadi ( I know it kills me I couldn't use it too)
This episode isn't just one of the most impressive episodes of thrones, but one of the most impressive episodes in television ever!
The absolute pinnacle!
And now we only have three more to go!
but so much for Addie to still see!

Once she started crying, I busted out crying and my wife is over there like “the hell is wrong with you” LOL great reaction like always Dan
SAME haha. My wife doesn't understand my love for reaction content on youtube.
Hahahaha thank you for the solidarity!!
Same here! I usually shout with excitement but seeing Addie cry made me cry 😭
"We die today, brothers. We die bleeding from a hundred wounds, with arrows in our necks and spears in our guts...but our war cries will echo through eternity! They will sing about the Battle of Winterfell until the Iron Islands have slipped beneath the waves!" - Theon Greyjoy, Season 2 Episode 10.
it was a damn good speech.
I cant believe we are here!! The Theon part gets me every time.. the absolute perfect way for him to go!
Only good part of the episode....
So true
I still wish the man who feared death the most was the one who destroyed it. Great scene regardless.
Theon went on the hardest journey of anyone on this show. Best overall storyarc.
I always thought I never cared as much for Theon as others did. Until I found myself feeling a knot in the stomach during that Jon Theon "You're a Stark" scene, that hug Theon and Sansa share last episode and all the way to the long night where I realize how much I actually grew attached to the character.
same here. i completely hated him for so long (robb was my favorite character when theon betrayed them) and then all of a sudden i’m on the verge of tears during the stark/greyjoy scene
Alfie Allen is absolutely fantastic as Theon
Theon being tortured made me realize how good the actor Alfie Allen really is. I cried when Theon died.
nah he was a lame character none of his actions made any sense and we were supposed to feel bad for him cause he got tortured? nah thats the one trope I hate the most. same lame shit happened with jamie. poor writing all around.
@@macdaddy1376 You realize both Theon and Jaime's suffering tropes are from the books, those award winning books, right? Oh woops you didn't know that? You thought the show wrote that in and you tried to do a generic "muh bad writing"? Maybe just maybe you have the emotional intelligence of a toddler to understand what good or bad writing is. And made no sense? Judging the intent of characters is probably beyond your scope, so don't strain the braincells. You should focus on things that's more down your alley...like grievance about not getting that Jon Snow vs invincible all powerful ice demon 1v1 anime lightsaber sword fight for 8 episodes like Goku vs Frieza.
That camera cut from Sansa and Tyrion behind the wall to Jon coming out of hiding with his sword raised as the Ramin Djawadi score starts playing is pure cinematic gold. The darkness of this episode is obviously very frustrating but those last few shots during the climax scene are straight eye porn as someone who has a bit of a camera operating experience.
Agree. Hard to believe Dan or Dave had any part of that, tbh.
The score was a masterpiece as well as the costumes and the set but the Writing was pure idiotic , lol .
@Coney Island it still makes them smarter than you as any person having a brain would notice how ridiculous the plot holes are , As for people being conformist and having a pack mentally i totally agree but in this case there are also some idiots who try to disagree and be edgy for the sake of it , lol .
@Nell Free Agreed! I just love Alfie Allen so much. This was a one of a kind role which very few actors could've done justice to!
Kit just looks too sexy with his sword raised and his hair in the wind. Lordt! 😭
Addie's reaction is one of the best I've seen, and I've seen every reaction to the Long Night on UA-cam
when Addie moaned "Ed", when he was killed, who else said, "he'll be back"; asking for a friend
I cried watching this with you, and I want to sincerely thank you for giving me this opportunity to experience it again with you guys. What an incredible episode.
🥺 thank you for being here!
It had some good moments but so many dumb as shit moments as well.. such a flop season
Parts that's always get me is when Tyrion kisses Sansa hand, Dani crying over Jorah and her dragon comes and lies with them, Lady Mormont killing the dragon and going out like a boss, are just some of my favorites from this episode. I literally had anxiety the whole time watching
Lady Mormont killing the giant* Fixed it. lol
*Lady Mormont killing the giant.
Lol I was typing fast. Yes she killed the giant 🤣
I'm not much of a battle aficionado. Don't really care for the strategies and tactics of medieval siege battles and all the technical stuff that could've been done better. Particularly in a battle with zombies. Plus I'm certainly very mindful of plotholes or theories that weren't paid off, like the Azor Ahoi Lightbringer angle, which was a gaffe. But from a purely sentimental perspective this episode had me line and sinker. I'm more than lenient towards technical errors when a journey can get me this impassioned. Hats off to Alfie Allen, the range of acting he showed playing Theon is unbelievable. The music is enchanting. Ramin Djawadi's score is chef's kiss. The ambience of "the Night King slow walking through the wintery forest with the red hue of the Weirwood tree contrasting the blue hour twilight sky" is everything I had always imagined and some more.
RIP
Qhono
Eddison Tollet
Lyanna Mormont
Beric Dondarian
Jorah Mormont
Alys Karstark
Theon Greyjoy
Melisandre (kind of)
With this war concluded, Houses Mormont, Karstark, and Umber are considered extinct in the show.
Ed is also technically the third Lord Commander to die.
With Qhono dead, I do not believe there are anymore named Dothraki characters left.
With both Beric and Thoros dead, The Brotherhood Without Banners is technically leaderless now.(At least we do not know who would take their places)
"meanwhile, Bran is in the Bahamas" might be hands down the funniest comment on Bran's situation 🤣🤣🤣
Why’d Bran show more love to Theon than the girl who dragged him around for 6 seasons
LOL!!!!!
she has all her genitals
The least of the issues w writing lol! But valid
THAT’s your question? 😂 I have so many. So. So. Many 😂😂 I can never believe it when people like this episode. Like… how do you shut off your brain so successfully?
@@izattyu6863 I also have many questions, but I just ask the ones that might make ppl smile 😃 and the first time I seen it my brain was blown
I loved season 8! I’m with you Addy. This is one of the best episodes of television ever made. 😁❤️❤️❤️
Great in everything except the writing lmao
Alfie Allen is one of the best actors period, not just in got. The way he embodied that role was unbelievable. He doesn't get enough credit compared to some of the other highly respected actors who appear on the show.
Yea, I saw on the Tony awards he was nominated for something but didn't win. So whatever role he's playing must be good to be nominated.
This was by far one of the greatest episodes in tv history. Watching that episode the night it dropped was an event. Me and my friends and some family watched this in my family room in the dark. When we all saw Arya flying through air we all screamed. Some people wanted Jon to kill the Knight King, but Arya was the perfect person to do it.
Just awesome. Everything came full circle. The dagger wasted on a cripple used to kill the knight king. Lord of light saved that man so many times so he could save Arya so she could save them all.
she held up well, i was crying right through, long streams of tears and dehydration after lol.
Melisandre talked the entire time about saving the world from the darkness. That was ALWAYS her purpose here. And yes she was misguided with Stannis and she made a huge mistake. But think about this. The show told us only death can pay for life. Bran woke up from a coma because Ned sacrificed Lady. Dany got her three dragons because she gave three lives. Her child, her husband, and the witch. Without Mel sacrificing the princess she would not have been able to bring Jon back. And the way she went out knowing her purpose was as served was so beautiful and heartbreaking. I’m sorry but Melisandre was a hero all along. 👩🏻🦰💪🏻👑🔥
She always did what she believed in, so yes, she was a hero.
Good reasoning. I never thought of that
Melissandre was a religious fanatic which burned people alive. Of all the choices made in the show, perhaps the one I'm most critical of is giving her redemption.
@@SerbAtheist a fanatic because her god kept her alive for literal centuries and said god required sacrifices. And her goal was always to save the world. As I said she was a hero all along.
@@tsxtina2919 Her sacrifices had nothing to do with the Lord of Light. That was the point. Cruelty and barbarism has nothing to do with good or with saving the world, no matter how much ideological idiots try to make it so. 'The world we need is a world of mercy. It has to be.'
I thought to myself ahhh I've seen this episode a hundred times I'll be fine then when I seen Dan a nervous wreck the ptsd came back and I felt like I was watching again for the first time I got cold shakes 😂 you know its serious when Addie starts crying as well its too much to handle
Greatest reactions ever! Thank you so much. I've enjoyed you and Addie for a while (didn't think we'd actually make it this far!) This was brilliant! It even makes up for any weakness the series might have had; that was some genuine emotional denouement! Bravo.
@Jim O'Donnell Arya has been struggling with the God of Death for her entire journey. The Night King is clearly the physical embodiment of this... If you can't see the connection between the T-shirt Addie is wearing and the Night King / White Walkers; you probably never will.
Thank you so much for staying with us!!
@Jim O'Donnell Plenty of people enjoyed the last seasons, and I'm one of them. To imply that Addie faked her reaction just to get clicks is beyond insulting and completely without basis.
Here we are! The last episode of the series 😅
lol I know, right.
Lol facts haha
Ok, bye.
Have "fun" watching other sh*tty shows.
I've seen this episode at least 7 times and STILL makes me so fucking anxious. Literally makes my hand shake.
I’ve been waiting for this episode’s reaction lol when I watched it, I was sick to my stomach from anticipation at the start of the episode lol
I was sick to my stomach with disappointment by the end of it.
Cool thing about Beric Dondarrion and The Hound is that that both of them at one point were on Arya's list of people to kill and both of them were protecting her to the end (for Beric, sadly, it was final purpose).
It may be flawed but holy crap I forgot what an excellent episode of television this is. I remember watching it live with all my friends it was like our Super Bowl, jumping in the air when Arya flew out. I may not like this last season but episodes 1-3 are still pretty amazing! Also “The Night King” song is still unmatched in excellency
I have to second what Dan said to Addie! It's your right to like these episodes if that's how you feel, no matter how many randos in the comments section feel the need to personally insult people for having different taste.
This shit had me hooked, flaws aside. They had me at a emotional wreck from beginning to end like Addie. The moment they zoom in on Sam's shaking hands my anxiety goes through the roof. The "green eyes blue eyes" part, when the White Walker almost gets Dany until Jorah saves her, the whole Arya Resident Evil part, all that had me catching a heart attack. RIP Berric, he gets overshadowed but mans went out like Jesus! That heart wrenching feeling I get watching the Theon sendoff is all that matters to me when I watch something like this. Idc really much aboitu5 what was unresolved and who should've been the last threat and all that. This episode had my heart pumping, hands sweaty and shit. That's how I knew it was good in many aspects. That's what the show does to me.
After all this time watching you guys I feel like I know you 2 and absolutely adore you guys! I've loved watching this with you guys!
I hope y’all will watch House Of The Dragon when it comes out in August 21st
I don't care what others say, I love this episode. The big characters who die die defending/protecting people they had either good or troubled history with, and I rank the deaths as top-tier. Theon's especially, as quick as it was. One of the best character arcs in the entire show!
(The Night King faces Jon.)
Me: this is it, the showdown we've all been waiting for.
(Night King starts raising the dead.)
Me: P**sy.
I discovered this channel with the s1e1 reaction to GOT. I have watched every single video along with you two, and my, what a journey it's been.
Great reaction guys, i just wanted to give Addie a hug she was in bits bless her!!
That was a great video reaction guys!!!!
The tears on Addie, after Arya killed the Night King, said it ALL!!!!!
Again. A Great Video reaction guys!!!!
Most of Season 7 and all of Season 8 I had to brighten my tablet screen almost to the max to see the episodes. Killed my battery life -- yet another casualty of GoT.😊
For that scene between Grey Worm and Melisandre: Valar morghulis is a High Valyrian saying originating from Braavos. It means "all men must die," and it's usually answered with the phrase valar dohaeris, meaning "all men must serve."
Been watching since the very beginning for this very episode. Did not disappoint. It's interesting, because obviously there are issues in these last couple seasons, but these are still exceptional episodes of television. We might never see their equal.
Thanks to both of you for providing this content.
I usually shout with excitement when Aria kills the night king but when Addie started crying it made me cry as well. 😭 You made me unlock a new emotion for that scene. Thank you for this reaction y'all!
Jon was screaming "Gooooo! Go! Gooooo!" at the dragon because he saw Arya creeping by, and used his own body as a distraction.
"That night she dreamt that she was Rhaegar, riding to the Trident. but she was mounted on a dragon, not a horse. When she saw the Usuper’s rebel host across the river they were armored all in ice, but she bathed them in dragonfire and they melted away like dew, and turned the Trident into a torrent. Some small part of her knew that she was dreaming, but another part exulted. This is how it was meant to be." - Daenerys, ASOS
Same Dan, before the Shireen incident I actually really liked Melisandre. After Shireen I didn’t care for her as much, but in season 7 I started to like her again and enjoy the scenes that she had. She definitely added an extra layer to Game of Thrones
After hearing Liana get crushed by the giant, I truly thought the Night King had crushed Arya when he turned and grabbed her. Thank goodness it was just his frozen ‘crunching’ noise😳
Notice when the Red Woman came, all of the horses bowed their heads. That’s when I was like okay she’s alright
I knew she was alright from the start. She spent seasons telling us what she was meant to do. To stop the darkness. Y’all just can’t see past people’s actions to look at their motivations to truly understand these characters huh?
@@tsxtina2919 She is everything bad that had ever happened to stannis. SHE killed Shireen, SHE killed an 8 year old girl. So fuck off trying to defend her.
@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 Stannis is everything bad that happened to Stannis. She killed an 8 year old girl not because she wanted to but as a sacrifice for what she believed was a good reason which was to stop the dakness. She says it over and over again. And by the rules of this show only death can pay for life. Dany birth her 3 dragons because she gave 3 lives. Without Melisandre sacrificing the Princess she wouldn't have been abre to bring Jon back
@@tsxtina2919 How many lives did she save by killing the non believers in season 2-stannis' death? Melisandre is everything bad that has happened to stannis, if you don't believe that stannis was a good man before Melisandre, then you are no GOT fan. Even when he was with Melisandre, he was the right choice for the ruler of the 7 kingdoms. Melisandre ruined everything. In fact, Melisandre wasn't even needed in the battle, could've just called up another red priest.
@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 she saved the entire world bro. It was her who pointed out to Arya what she needed to do. She served her purpose and went out like a HERO. And that yOu aReNt a rEaL fAn is the stupidest most childish thing I've ever heard. I've been obssesed with this show SINCE THE DAY IT AIRED. And you can't blame some else for Stannis' actions. It has nothing to do with Melisandre and everything to do with is blind ambition. He could have made different choices. But he choiced to kill his own daughter. That is 10000000% on him.
-Maybe we should have stayed married.
-You were the best of them.
-What a terrifying thought.
Lmaooo. These two 😢
Looove this reaction! What an episode 😎
At the time I was undecided about Arya as they'd built up John vs TNK for so long, but this show has often been about surprises so 🤷🏻♀️
And RIP Jorah 💔😭
Totally love this and that you’re enjoying this season! My favorite episode ever! I’m sad that we’re getting close to the end; love your reactions to this show!!
The scene that really spooks me is not seeing all the flames going out after the Dothraki charge but seeing surviving Dothraki fleeing. Dothraki have NEVER run from a battle...So if they are running......
ADDIIIIIEEEEEE! You are such a champ! OMG! I LOVED your reaction! What a journey! Guuuurrrlll, I was laughing and crying and holding my breath all over again. How enjoyable it was to witness you have this amazing experience!!! Watching Theon Greyjoy and Bran's last scene always breaks me down. As well as the Tyrion & Sansa hand kiss, OMG! Just incredible!!!
What I thought was cool about seeing that when it first came out was that night it premiered Drake was presented an award and he said" shout out to Arya stark" and how is no one talking about how jora died in the friend zone lol
THIS THOUGH! Addys reaction was the absolute best! I couldn't have asked for better! Love the release of emotion when she knew it was over ❤ I'm glad she is liking s8! So excited for the last three episodes.
Keep up the excellent work🤩🤩
Remember way back when she said Ed was gonna Die saving Sam. I was like if she only knew
The character and narrative arcs laid out since season 1 do suuuuuch heavy lifting in this episode. Getting through this episode without getting stirred up like a snow globe should be the incorporated into the sociopathic personality-disorder screening examination material.
This is like the most emotionally draining Episode in all of Television!
Sniff Sniff 🤧
You can say that again. 😭
I second that!!!
Yet nearly 15% of people that voted on IMDB, voted this episode a "1" on a scale of 1 to 10. Another 10% voted "5" or less. These people seemed to think they were the screenplay writers & threw a tantrum, way after the fact of when this episode aired & after the show came to a close.
I am in total agreement with you. I can't say any movie on the big screen had this effect either. A true masterpiece.
@@Steve-eh4db Also, The Long Night episode won 5 emmys, of the 12, that Game of Thrones won in 2019.
@@Steve-eh4db Rating "1" should never be taken in consideration. Who the F does that in 2019+ shows....
Addie is a rare person who cries pretty.
On a happier note, at least we'll get to see Oberyn and Lyanna's actors team up to play Ellie and Joel for the new HBO Last Of Us series!
I remember when this season was airing or not long after, people were fancasting Maisie Williams and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in those roles. So funny they did end up going to GOT actors after all.
The Three Eye'd Raven/Crow is the secret "in plain sight" villain who ends up winning the tv show.
Here we go! Cried along with you! This show never fails to tug on your heart strings lol! Loved the reaction and I’m definitely looking forward to the next few! I had a blast following along in the journey!!
Watch House of the Dragon when it comes out PLEASE, ILOVEYOUGUYSSOMUCH!
Cool Easter egg..Jamie and Brienne’s swords are made from Ice which is Ned Stark’s sword..it’s like he was home defending his family..
Honestly sticking all the innocents in the crypt for safety when there's an ARMY OF DEAD PEOPLE marching your way is the kind of stupidity that Tyrion wouldn't have stood for outside of his season 8 downfall.
Here we go Fam!
That move Aria used also was the move she used on Brienne when they sparred
It's funny how later you realize - Arya had pretty much been training for that very moment most of the series. All that stuff she learned from the faceless man in Bravos, all the lessons she gained or picked up along the way from the Hound... from way back in the first season with her dancing master and chasing cats...
It was mentioned a few times how she could sneak around, and in the scene where she finally meets back up with Jon he even says: "How did you sneak up on me?" She'd do that same trick later vs. the Night King.
So, in a way she was meant for that moment, as much as many people wanted/expected/hoped it would be Jon.
Lmao the story is literally written for Jon to fight him. The show runners just kind of did some wild stuff as they tended to do the last 4 seasons.
@@Cream-2128 The story is literally written to subvert predictable and typical fantasy moment like Jon fighting the Night King. The books were created as a reaction to the Lord of the Ring. It was meant to be a subversion of the popular fantasy tropes.
Jon fighting the Night King was never on the table. It's not that type of story.
@@poub06 lmao it’s literally what the damn story is leading to. Like the show runners literally changed everything in this show. They made Cersei a main character when she’s not. The whole prophecy of the “prince that was promised” has literally been leading to that moment. These fools just starting making stuff up because they liked (Cersei, Ramsay) or hated a character ( Stannis, Doran).
@@Cream-2128 Sorry, but without spoiling anything, but you understand the prophecies like my guinea pig understands algebra. Go back and reread those prophecies, especially the story of the Lightbringer and you'll see exactly to which moment in the show the prophecies were leading.
@@SerbAtheist the show does nothing close to the books! The show runners literally decided they were going somewhere else hence why Martin stopped working on the show.
Damn both of you didn’t know Dan and Addie wtf!!! Grey worm and the Red woman are from Essos as slaves a soldier and a priestess the saying Valar Morghulis is known among slaves it’s translation is ALL MEN MUST DIE and the response is Valar Dohaeris which translates to ALL MEN MUST SERVE so usually when it’s said it isn’t that people are conspiring more like reminding each other that some peoples only fate is to live a life as a sacrificial tool so that everyone else may just live
The crypts of Winterfell are the best places to hide in the books not the t.v show because in the books the same ancient powerful magic that prevents the dead from crossing the wall is used to keep the dead in their coffins in the books Mellissandre can feel all the ancient magic radiating off the wall she said it’s ancient magic that radiates off the wall is more powerful and ancient than that of the magical shadowy city of Ashai and she feels the ancient magic in winterfells crypts that keep the dead dead but in the t.v show there is no magic in the wall or crypts because the dead just blow through both places
Hello , I love your reactions ♥
Lots of love from pakistan.
Love you Dan. You are awesome as is your enthusiasm
As amazing as Arya is for killing the Night King, I think the real VIP of this episode is Melisandre. She lights the swords, lights the trench, and most importantly, her talk with Arya led to her going and winning the war.
True, she is redeemed in my eyes.
1) the music at the end of this episode is the Gremlins theme.
2) bran should've given his flock of ravens each an obsidian arrowhead. and divebombed.
Couldn't wait for Addie to see this episode
Personally I care as little about shit like what the geometric length of the zombie killing trebuchet should be as I cared about how Pyat Pree manages to kill every powerful person in the world's greatest city in three seconds. I thought the Night King gliding through the snowed out godswood as Theon hacks away at the wights while the blue flame of the injured undead dragon lights up the sky as the night king BGM plays is the coolest freaking vibe ever.
@16:53: me too, especially when you remember that each of them is wielding a piece of Ice, the ancestral Stark Valyrian sword, finally back in Winterfell where it belongs.
I Burst out laughing when you said Bran was in the Bahamas 🤣🤣🤣
No one can ever convince me Sam would live through any of this. 😂
I have both of those shirts!!!
See what a great mix of emotions and excitement this episode brought out from you? That's pretty much every reactor ever. That sensation you get all through this is what matters the most and no amount of uncharitable purist cyncism can undo that. GoT only really mentioned Lightbringer once. During Stannis' introduction. It was never mentioned again in the present tense. I'm sure that's what will happen in the book but the show itself never hinted anything even in the ballpark of only Lightbringer killing Night King. Arya changes her face. I'm not gonna waste brain cells pretending to be baffled by how she got there. How did Jaqen kill all those Lannister guards? If anything I applaud the restraint they show by ending her revenge tour right here when they could've gone with the easiest disney fanservice afterwards. But of course everyone get furious about that too. It was said Drogo had forty thousand riders in his Khalesar. Even assuming that's exaggerated & included women & children, every Dothraki Khalesar put together would easily have close to a hundred thousand riders if not more. No wonder they were still around later. Cersei purchased twenty thousand Golden Company sellswords. The Lannisters armies were depleted by now. Together they wouldn't amount to half of Dany's army. Dany could afford to lose a lot and still field a greater number. I always cared about the throne more than the Walkers. I'm just glad that Night King got taken out as the last thing I wanted was that "Night King in 5" meta blackpill ending.
I like that after dying at least twice Sam was able to just give up, lay down and not be killed again, also the little scouse girl did a shit job at defending the crypts
RIP Lord Commander Ed!
Shout out to Ramin Djawadi, for another excellent soundtrack
I really dont want this to end, ur got reactions where with me through a though time but i also cant wait for some of the ending moments, like for example nath!
Im still sad that I expected arya to be the one to kill the night king, everyone was so excited for it...
I always feel that the scene between mellisandre and arya resets arya to assassin mode
Let the bullshit, asspulls, and plot armor commence!!!!!
Every show has plot armor, kid.
Addie seeing your journey up till this point has always been a joy. But to see your investment, your emotion, your connection to these characters had me sobbing right along with you. To see your release upon Arya claiming her title as baddest bitch to ever be was astounding. To see your worry your anxiety to relive that with was a true joy. Thank you, now woman of winter, to take this journey and to share it with us. Will stan Addie till the day I die. And Dan!!! Your reactions your faces your looks over to addie. Your own face upon Arya Killing the night king. This shall forever be one of my favourite reactions of anything ever. Thank you both for now feeling truly like friends to me and cheers to you for this and still what's yet to come. My own personal sob moment was little lyanna mormont. Taking down a giant as she herself was this bad ass giant herself. She had me crushed. Sam's just lucky?? He's killed walkers he's killed a thaen! Sam can hold his own. For me I worried when he sees Ed dies and just dips and runs its almost like he reverted back to old Sam but Sam is a bamf. Berric to save Arya so she could end the night king. Dans eyebrows raise at get addie drunk hahahha gaaah ok I'm done what a great episode and reactions. Truly love you both.
Great reaction, I've loved the journey with you. If you'd like to see another truly epic series on this level please consider trying Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I know the name puts people off but it is one of the but shows ever brought to television and you would get very invested in the storyline
Yes!
Beric being brought back to life over n over just to save Arya on this night as his purpose is wild. Plus Theon redeemed!
i watched a channel react to this episode just recently and that person had an even more passionate reaction than you had. they were in full breakdown mode and shit. this hits all the right emotional keys darkness notwithstanding. the tragedy of game of thrones is that its own so called "real fandom" decided the show was a failure and then backfilled everything to fit that narrative. the fact that it is the most watched live action tv show of all time with 60 emmys didn't matter because they had already stubbornly decided the author wanted something different. even tho one actually knows if that was true or if the major plot points were exactly what he had envisioned originally. if you're sufficiently uncharitable you can pick flaws in anything. i can sit here and pick apart the best season of Breaking Bad or Sopranos. but the difference is their own "real fans" didn't doom the show out of pure spite by ignoring all the good. When I watch reactions like yours and everytime they say how awesome this is, it infuriates me to no end thinking that shows who don't even deserve to be in the same stratosphere as Got are revered as masterpieces while Got is treated as the red headed stepchild. The ASOIAF cult is worse than Synder groupies and Star Wars elitists combined honestly.
as someone who was pretty freaking upset at how the last couple seasons went, last episode was my favorite of the season but this one was good also. The cinematography and music were just *chefs kiss*. My only complaints were that I did expect more main characters to die after the buildup so there was definitely some plot armor going on. Also, I didn't feel like Cersei should have been the final boss. I would have preferred her being dealt with first and then everything ending up North at Winterfell. I also didn't love that Arya killed the NK because it felt like it was Jon's destiny to be that Azor Ahai. However, I also didn't hate that it was Arya and I could buy it. What they did with Bran though ever since The Door episode was just rage inducing and stupid. Anyway, I think while there are valid complaints about this episode, there are plenty of redemptive qualities as well. Now the last three episodes.....
Theon R.I.P
Melissandre lived a long time in Essos. She recognised the unsullied, so she wished them to die a good death. Kind of like the Spartan "you'll return with your shield or they'll carry you on it"
„Everyone is dying…“ except next episode 90% of their forces are magically alive (Dothraki, Unsullied, Northmen)
I guess Dan and Dave also „kinda forgot“ like they so famously summed up Dany‘s „plan“ next episode 😂😂😂
Finally!!!👌
Cannot wait for next week, and the week after.
I was definitely reading Addies shirt
The anticipation leading up to this ep was pretty crazy tho. I remember a mega viral tweet from right before it aired that went something like "if you’re seeing Endgame (came out 3 days prior) the first time today and watching Battle of Winterfell later tonight, you’re a certified Grade A Wild Boy. That’s like scheduling your wedding for the day of your father’s funeral." 😂😂 Family Guy did a series of new GoT spoofs and there was the Long Night one where Peter says "prepare for the most epic battle of all time that nobody will see because it's too dark and we'll say it's because they have bad TV" 🤣
I am clapping with you Dan, after that wink and Addie's like etc are you so giddy about .....
Oh man that took me back.. the gay panic was real gurl.. as usual addies hair is fire… and Dan you the best ❤️
I enjoyed The Long Night. The moments with Theon and Jorah, Mellisandre and Arya, Sansa and Tyrion?? Man!! When Bran tells him "you're a good man" I lowkey tear up ngl. The first half is too dark with irritatingly shaky and rapid camera movements, but the second half is a lot less chaotic as the action settles down. The ending sequence is a whole mood! Theon's last stand, Bran and Night King staring face to face as the "The Night King" theme plays?! That stuff had me twisting in the winds. Naturally there's things that I would've done differently but overall I enjoyed the episode. The next episode is usually considered the weakest one. For good reason as it has that terrible second half. But honestly not only do I not hate the last two episodes, I kinda love em?!
Ayra used the same move, dropping the dagger to her other hand, on Brienne
Thank you so much Addie for sharing your raw emotional reaction with us! Hopefully you won't have to rack up any therapy bills from it!
Addie's reaction is the reaction of of everyone who goes into the episode blind. I have seen not one person who reacts in any other way. Yeah there are inconsistencies that become more glaring on later watches, but overall the impression remains the same. It's a great fuxkin episode. The asoiaf clowns really did a number on the reputation of this one.
It would be great to react to "Jenny of Oldstones" video and talk a little bid about the journey, before going into the final part.
