Coming with wooden ships to besiege the mother of dragons? What the hell were they thinking? I mean, even though she wasn't there at the time, they knew her dragons were.
What was Bran's Uncle (who saved him from the undead) backstory again? How is he undead but with a free will?
I found the battle for Winterfell sooooooo lame. So many details made it frustrating:
- I was expecting Jon to be a cunning leader, not a fool that almost gets killed right away despite being warned about it urgently by Sansa.
- Why does Rickon not simply look back to evade single arrow shots that have like a 10s flight time?
- Also ever heard of shields vs arrows? If you are foolish or poor enough not to bring your own at least fucking take one from your dead enemy!
- It didn't seem like they even had a plan. Nothing to give them an edge. They were just rambling all the time that battle's with worse odds have been won. Yeah, because of brilliant gambits, not by just running into their deaths...
- And then the end. Wow, how do you not have someone watch troop movements so you don't get trapped by pikemen? Those wear heavy gear. With the mobile wildling army it should've easily been able to go around them and kill the archers that were picking them off all the time.
- Also when trapped, the giant should've at least tried to create an opening so he and other wildlings can pick the pikemen from the side. He was even perfectly positioned at the side of the arc. He could've easily taken a couple bodies or tower shields as protection, wave it around to break the pikes and just push the formation open.
- Why did Jon's army even have archers? How did they expect the battle to go to use them? Ofc the cavalry will ride in first and then there's a battle in the middle. Did they even take shots at the enemy cavalry as it rode towards the middle?
- Anyways if you DO decide to have archers why not wait until they can do their job, when reinforcements try to cross the battlefield to join the fray? Oh right, I forgot. No plan.
I was really disappointed how obvious the mistakes were and how this reflects badly on everyone involved in the planning, just as a plot point to have a rescue last second LotR/Gandalf style. I mean if you have just half the men you cannot/would not go into battle naively and expect you'll just win because you're the good guys. Things like that just make me angry.
Sorry for the rambling, I realize GoT is usually better than this.
And yeah, season 6 was one of the most boring because all the cool shit happened at the end.
