Oh, and the dialogue beyond the wall was great.
The dialogue between her and Jon on the boat was nauseating.

I also have no problem with the writers sowing discord between the Stark girls. It is just not being done well. No subtlety. Arya is jumping the shark.
There are such larger issues with the development that I am barely phased by an action such as the NK throwing the spear at the dragon flying in the distance, instead of the sitting dragon with all of the main characters directly in front of him.

This season is fun, but GoT is stumbling a little from what made it one of the best shows in history.
The wight capture plan was so stupid, and just sloppy. There are a dozen ways to get that crew north of the wall that would have made more sense than capturing a wight that no one will give a about. Why not send them to retrieve the horn that was mentioned in the books? Why not put them on a ship that blows off course? Why not make a wildling rescue mission for some band that escaped and is racing to the wall? Anything is better than that stupidity, which incidentally now is a huge pivot in the overall plot.
Jon Snow got a dragon killed. Of all the stupid scalitoing things that any character has done in this show, that has to be the scalitoing stupidest. Wouldn't pretty much everyone want to beat the snot out of him for doing that?
Benjen either should have been with the band from the start, or not been there at all. Showing up at the last minute was ridiculous. How did he find out?
I actually like the idea of discord between Arya and Sansa, but it should be a lot more clever than this. Sansa was a prisoner of the Lannisters. Getting her father captured was stupid, but she was trying to save his life with that letter. Why didn't she say that? Why didn't Arya just ask her wizard brother to tell her what happened? To be honest, I don't even see how this helps Littlefinger. Arya is a rook, not a queen in the game. Sansa is a queen. He should be playing for both. It would make more sense if Littlefinger had hatched a plan for Arya to kill Cersei and that was what the sisters were fighting over.
Let's use our dragons to fly away and escape from the guy throwing lances at a rate of about 1 per 5 minutes when dragonfire and a flying dragon is the one thing that could kill him at the present moment and we've just discussed how killing him could completely end the march of the dead and solve the central plot problem of next season's 6 episodes
I can't take credit for this... but they went to Hardhome Depot.Where'd NK get those battleship anchor chains to drag the dragon from the water?
The only reason the show isn't dismissed as complete trash this season is we are getting 6 seasons worth of payoff for 6 seasons worth of great character development and stroryline. Take away every reunion and every character interaction we've all pined for for 6 seasons and the show is pretty much the suck.
You pretty much suck.

Tormund talking about making babies with Brienne had me rolling.The brightest spot was the banter among the dream team up north. Some comic gold there.
Fun and eventful episode for all it's flaws and inconsistencies. The brightest spot was the banter among the dream team up north. Some comic gold there. Low point was the ridiculous Arya vs Sansa arguments. Ice dragon was cool, even if the magically appearing anchor chain was ridiculous. No worse than the magically appearing Uncle with a horse I suppose. Dream team 1, Night King 1.
The writers are blowing a chance for some great Arya - Sansa action here. What should have happened was Sansa opening up about being tortured by Joffrey and sold like meat to Tyrion, then being essentially sold by Littlefinger to an even more sadistic bastard Bolton. That mention...would trigger Arya to say...Littlefinger? But he's the one who hid this letter. The two of them would put it together, and watching them destroy Littlefinger would be highly satisfying for everyone but the most ardent Arby's patrons.
P.S. Loved that Dany said Jon was too little for her. That was classic. I think the writers have been reading this thread.
To be fair, Dany doesn't know that killing him will wipe out the other wites. I'm sure it will come up in battle strategy meetings next episode.
I get that the stupid among us who are enthralled by shiny things think its great. The intelligent long for a higher standard.
You are like a Turkey who needs marbles put in a bowl of water so you dont die of thirst.
Gendry runs back to eastwatch , raven flies from wall to dragon stone, Danny flies back in 3 minutes.
Show has jumped the shark.
Arya abused Sansa tgat whole episode. She needs to cut her to complete the job
Jon is definitely the succession plan.Daenerys dies. If there was any doubt, the whole succession thing cements it.
Benjen may have been the dumbest thing in an episode of head scratching.
He comes out of nowhere for Jon and then gives Jon a horse (a horse that can easily fit two people) and says "there is no time". What?
If there was no time, why just grab Jon initially and putting him on the horse with you?
