Because he didn't have time. That was supposed to be one of the big moments that would stick with you. We've seen Jon always go out of his way to help Sam over the seasons. This time it was hell on earth, for all the marbles. There was no time. He had to find the NK of *everything* was going to end. He felt the impending loss of Sam, but the big picture forced him to push on.
It was a wonderful moment.
I can't believe I'm saying this ..
but Ben Shapiro is right ..
You're going to learn just as Stannis did, that prophecies are bullshit.
Hahaha it's more that I actually liked both characters and was particuarly sad to see Jorah go, though it was expected. I agree that both characters had reached natural conclusions to their arcs, and their deaths made sense.It feels like... You're trying so hard to defend the show that you're not making salient points.
Jorah and Theon are no longer important to the flow of the story. Arguably, Jorah should have died after he delivered Tyrion to Dany from greyscale. Instead, they kept him around for his death yesterday... Not the worst way to go out, but ya know.
And Theon's last stand was satisfying, but he is far from a major or important character at this point. He also served nothing as far as the overall plot is concerned.
Cept he's not.
She didn't fail the stealth section rewatch the scene. She made it past the room without alerting them, even going so far as to use sound lures. But a random horde was storming a different section of the castle and ended up where she was. It was literally a case of bad luck
Jon is literally that type of character. Arya is nowhere near close to being a mary sue. You're missing the overall point that literally every single woman in fiction who does something significant or gets highlights no matter how much justification exists to justify their skillset is referred to as a mary sue. This isn't even the first time this has happened with this show. When Brienne beat the Hound there were losers calling her a mary sue. It's their short hand for "stop letting female characters be power fantasies too."Ymmv, but when I read 'Mary Sues', I usually think in perfect male heroes from trashy animes like the main characters of Mahouka or SAO that are done so viewers can self-insert as them.
And do you honestly think GRRM will handle the white walkers in the same manner as the show?
Cersei lit up a an entire sept full of people to kill Margaery.
Bingo. Hell, you could probably take a stab at twisting the prophecy so it fits Arya, too. That's the whole thing with these prophecies: they're vague and they're bullshit.You're going to learn just as Stannis did, that prophecies are bullshit.
"Sam is awesome because he did stuff in the past," isn't a good reason for him to have survived when literally thousands of other more capable soldiers couldn't. You're kind of proving their point right, that fan favorite characters are being kept alive simply because they're fan favorites.
He did things the way he usually would, but his reasons for it were not really there. Like what advantage does he gain by playing Arya against Sansa? If he were to plot against anyone it would be John since his goal is the Iron Throne.
Really don't mind him getting taken out like a bitch, though.
Browning the butter
Star Wars here we come.That ending was the most insulting thing the show ever did.
The long night came and went in one hour, no main characters died. All the prophecy, valyrian swords, lore meant nothing as spectacle triumphed yet again over reason, logic and respecting the events in the show itself over the past 8 seasons.
Dumb and Dumber really outdid themselves here, which is amazing considering seasons 5,6 and 7.
P.S. The gloating and smugness in post episode wrap ups from them is so funny.
I don't disagree at all. I'm more or less just paraphrasing what the actual directors said about that sequence in that 40 minute "making of" video posted on the last page or so (I watched da whole thing).I buy this, but again, the stakes ended up feeling so low.
What did this same kind of scene better: Snowpiercer. That moment where Chris Evans sees a friend in need, but knows he has to do something else or they'll fail, has all the more resonance because that decision does end up with his friend dead, even if it was the "right" one for moving forward.
Yeah she's just gone full maniac now. Also she lost points for sleeping with Euron in my book.
The idea that so many fans (even here on ERA) hold of Cersei being a mastermind is laughable. She has been insane and irrational since the very start of the show.When she was told that the army of the dead had toppled the only real defense they had against them she responded with "good". She also nuked half of Kings Landing with wildfire rather than lose the power she had gained.
Cersei is out of her mind as well.

What's wrong with that? And Sam is not a fan favorite, IMO. Very few give much of a shit for him anymore, but I love him.
She should march North now and catch them with their pants down.
hilarious and great if she's still on the throne at the end of the season.
tbqh, who has proven themselves more worthy?
hilarious and great if she's still on the throne at the end of the season.
Cept he's not.
She becomes super assassin at the end of season 6.
This is total bullshit.
By your logic, the show should have lost viewers after Ned was killed. Even more after Robb and Catelyn were killed.
But yet, viewership has increased every season. It's almost like viewers appreciate that this is a show where anything can happen at any time, and to not get too attached to main characters.
Who cares about viewership at this point? Game of Thrones is insanely popular. If anything, you can get away with such drastic measures precisely because the show is so popular. And need I remind you that the show gained popularity because its mantra of "no one is safe"?
considering that the main job of HBO is to make money, producing unprofitable shows is unlikely to keep new shows coming.The financial/business reasons for not killing off characters is hardly a defense for why they have plot armor.
crazyShe killed hundreds or maybe even a thousand of her own people with a nuke because they found out that she fucks her brother and because her son Wife was more popular than her.
She is crazy.
Incredible episode. One of my favorite battle scenes ever. Goose bumps all the way.
I'm wondering though... the move where Arya dropped the dagger into her right hand; had that particular move occured in a precious episode? I felt like I'd seen it somewhere before. Maybe a different movie, if not in GoT?
Because he was thinking of the future of man, and not his bro. I was literally yelling at him to leave him. And I love Sam.
.............

Just gonna say it. Prophecies are dumb. I'm kinda glad that that stuff is out of the way, or seems to be at least.
They are not ready for the destruction the Star Wars fanbase will bring upon them LOLOL
