He never moves from his spot, barely looks around at all except to tell Theon he's a good man and to look at the Night King. He sends the Ravens into the storm, but does no spying or intel-gathering. Did anything actually come from the Ravens in that episode? Nothing, right? It was all so pointless. Haha so true. I'm hoping that the Ravens and him doing Three-eyed Raven things had a purpose but they weren't revealed/related to this episode. Quote Link to comment

Whether he was or wasn't isn't the issue, it's the change of tone and theme from what made GoT great. If GRRM writes in the same style as the show has the last couple seasons, then the same criticism would extend to his writing. Quote Link to comment

That said, he’s gotten plenty of criticism for the last 2-3 books being boring. Quote Link to comment

Yep, I stopped reading his books because they became too boring with no plot advances, which is why I think the show is actually better. It's just disappointing to see the show fall into the old tropes after being so fresh for so long. Quote Link to comment

Interesting. He didn't really touch "Bran," he touched Vision Bran. But that did leave marks on real Bran, so who knows. The Night King very definitely touched Arya. Right before she stuck him like an ice pop. Likely that means nothing. I'm sure they're just going to get on with the next war. They've only got three episodes left. 1 Quote Link to comment

They could do a last shot or post-credits scene for the final episode where Bran's and/or Arya's eyes turn blue. That would suck a lot. Quote Link to comment

I'm tired of using the spoiler block and there's a bunch of spoilers in here already, so stop reading this thread if you don't want spoilers. Thank you!!! That was annoying - Glad to see it stopped.

Frostberg Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm trying to piece the Azor Ahai prophecy together with Arya killing the Night King and I've got nothing. Quote Link to comment
