I agree with this. The white walkers just seemed like a giant story that was deflated with a pin prick so to speak.
The Arya stuff, awesome scenes and lead up but at what point if that is what it was, could that have happened at a different or earlier point in time? Was that really what we waited 7 seasons for with the white walkers? Also, I guess this gives Wilt Chamberlain credit to his pregame ritual?
I enjoyed certain parts of the episode, but it felt a little cheap given all the buildup.
But we knew that's the only way to stop the walkers, we saw that back at Hardhome or...some earlier battle when Jon killed their leader and they all exploded. Jon even said that was the only way to stop them, to kill the NK. Their end state could be seen from a million miles away.
ETA:
Jamie's reaction to that was so subtle, but terrifying, just how much he conveyed with a slight change of expression. Everyone's reactions were amazing, but his...nicely done.

Only halfway there. The last three episodes are all around the hour and a half mark, too. Hopefully Bran divulges a bit about the NK, if he was anyone of significance before he was turned etc.
And this episode made me hate Cersei that bit more. That cunt will get hers.
I don’t think Bronn will kill Jamie or Tyrion, but when Jamie finds out that Cersei put a price on his head...he’ll get behind Daenerys. Hopefully he and Tyrion can get the Lannister army to turn as well.
She’s fucked either way.

Emergency Awesome, fucking nerd, but he's our nerd! Love watching his GoT stuff, most of the rest I don't care for. Dude just churns content.
Arya is the Howland Reed of her generation.
I still really despise how the Dothraki get represented in the show.

We have been told that winter is coming for over 3 years and it is over in 20 seconds. That’s an 1.5 hours of my life that I can not get back. The dragons should have been sent in before the Calvary, they get wiped out in 30 seconds, what did they think was going to happen.

Only one salvo from the artillery was pretty trash.
That left me raw... In one hand it was FUCKING EPIC!! In the other, I agree with @Polar Bear , it wasn't what it should have been. I was expecting the Winter battle to be at least a couple episodes with all the build up.
But...the BDA:
The Mother of Dragons is now a Mother of Dragon, singular. She's lost 2/3rds of her CAS/airpower. That's huge.
Her entire Dothraki cavalry, annihilated.
She's lost a general and a top advisor: Jorah Mormont.
How many of the Unsullied do you reckon were slaughtered? I'd guess at least a third, possibly half.
The upside is, she still has Arya...who I figure is worth at least a battalion.

So the dragon that Jon was riding was pretty beat up and crashed landed, but do we know it's dead?
I think Bran was sending a message to the CotF that they killed the NK.

Right? And Cersei has her dragon weapon, so soon we'll have a dragonless series.But...the BDA:

How much of an army really remains at Winterfell?
What will come of Yara returning to the Iron Islands? Will that come into play with the Iron Fleet? Will Euron lose his ships somehow? That battle could take an entire episode.

Wondering the same. We saw it crash hard but no definitive answer as to it's fate.
Wasn't sure if Jon's dragon really died, was resurrected, and was the one spewing blue flames at Jon...
-or-
was the Night King's dragon spewing fire at Jon, leaving Jon's dragon still MIA, possibly dead or, at best, severely wounded.

But they hadn't killed him yet. He was warging all the way up to the point where the Night King arrived, then came back.

Promo for 4th episode clearly shows two dragons...
There was a couple scenes that I had a hard time with the low lighting but I think it added to the overall mood.

TBT OP: Per last night, the necklace definitely seemed to having something to do with it, so this was evidently a continuity error or it works in ways not apparent to me...either way, I'll miss her perfectly shaped breasts (when she was hawt like the pic above)

Concur on this and thought the same as I watched.
