What?! Are you serious? One night was all that was, the greatest threat in Westeros couldn’t even get past Winterfell, are you effing kidding me?! The Night King was supposedly prepping for this moment for 10,000 years or something and he can’t get past Winterfell or manage to kill any major characters. We have been building up the Night King and his army for 8 years or so, season 1 through season 8 “ Winter is coming” Season 8 episode 1 and 2 “ Winter is here” episode 3 “ Winter is over” It was so underwhelming that the Night King was defeated so easily, it made him look like a joke. I care about the delivery of it, where did she come from? She materialized out of air, just a few scenes ago the wights could detect a blood droplet, the Night King was surrounded by wights and only one suspected something? Does she float above ground not making a sound in snow? The ending was what ruined it for me, I don’t care that Arya delivered the fatal blow. Where were the archers? Volleys, catapults, why was no one defending the wall until it was too late? So many errors. What happened to that Dothraki saying “Never face the Dothraki in open field” unless you are the living dead I guess. The battle plan was stupid, why send in your whole Dothraki army into the nightly abyss, charging at an enemy you can’t see is never a good idea. The plot armor is ridiculous in this episode, no major characters die even though there were a few moments that it looked like one might but in the next scene they’re fine. Realistic isn’t always the way to go for your viewers, hard to appreciate something you can barely see and I even turned my brightness up. It all meshed with the dark creating an awful viewing experience even though it was realistic. The Long Night was a disappointing episode for me, so much that it kinda ruins the whole show.Ĭouldn’t see or keep track of what was going on due to the frequent cuts, the blizzard and smoke. It’s not like he had to worry about supply lines or anything. Literally all he had to do was encircle Winterfell and wait for starvation to set in. Of course all of this is underscored by how dumb of a battle plan the Night King had. If the whole idea was to slow down the undead horde until the Night King was drawn out, they should have employed a lot more trenches to force the mob into certain zones where they could have been more easily picked off via archers within the ranks. My biggest gripe by far was the lack of trenches protecting the ranks. There’s more but I don’t want to cross too much into spoiler territory.
