saw this on the walking dead wiki page, and thought it was interesting that the last five episode titles of this season are from Dale's season two speech when he's asked about why he still looks at his watch. "I give you a mausoleum of all hope and desire which will fit your
individual needs, no better than it did mine and my father before me. I
give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it. For a moment, now and then, and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it."

So the magic ninja who has been training as an Assassin killing the night king isn’t a good pay off? Despite her being given the dagger to do it last season? Or Mel’s prophecy that was given to her in season 2? Or her being trained for it since season one? All the main players played their part, without them all doing what they did, the living would have lost. Honestly how much of this blowback is because it subverted your expectations? 

Seriously.. It wasn't fucking Sansa with the dragon glass dagger she just received saving the day. It was Arya Stark who has basically been training for this for the whole show. I loved this episode! My heart was pounding for the entire 82 minutes. Cant wait to watch this over and over.

You know what, that POV shot of "unknown" getting hit with Lucille was perfect. It was perfect because it was basically Kirkman and Gimple beating us the show watchers over the head with their delusional smugness.

Fargo was renewed for a 3rd season today!

Ive been an advocate that this somehow ends with some type of proto democracy being set up. The show has hinted at it, with Danny saying she wants to destroy the wheel, and Tyrion bringing up how the Nights Watch votes for their Lord Commander. We'll see!

These guys, man.

Not adding anything substantive to the conversation. Just came to say this was my kind of episode.

While it is a bit frustrating that narrative short cuts were taken to get everyone in the same space, which potentially cheapens some of the exchanges, I still ate it all up. Especially the Jaimie and Brienne moments. Those were fantastic and a long time coming.

I'm with you, don't have anything of substance to really add but I loved this episode. The first episode was good, but on my re-watches it kind of lost a little bit each time. With this episode, which Ive now watched three times, it keeps getting better and better.

@jluzania My roommate and I binged Succession like two months ago. It kept getting better and better. By season two I honestly would classify it more of a comedy than a drama, it was hilarious. Roman has some of the best one liners ever!
