And at last, the long night begins. When will it end? 2018? 2019? 3053? We may never know as it’s looking more and more like The Winds of Winter might come out before season 8…Ha. Yeah right…Anyway, now that life is once again meaningless and full of pain and with no indication that season 8 is on the horizon anytime soon, the only things to look forward to are school, work, and…the future! But before we do that, let’s revisit the Internet’s critics one last time in 2017.
I needn’t remind you to read my Sullied recap – you’ve already done that. You devoured Oz’s unsullied recap the moment it was uploaded. So what else can you do? Well let’s dive in, and find out!
Alan Sepinwall, UPROXX – In which he thinks the show should stop pretending that anything other than the White Walkers matters anymore.
Alex Mullane, Digital Spy – In which he short story loved it, long story wished the reunions and various pairings had more room to breathe and had longer scenes.
Alicia Lutes, Nerdist – In which she retitles the name of the episode to ‘The Dick and The Cock.’
Alyssa Rosenberg, The Washington Post – In which she pines for the human drama and is not anticipating the living vs. dead war we’ve all been promised.
Andrew Snell, Mirror – In which he mourns the loss of the possibility for Littlefinger to try negotiating terms of bribery with the Night King
Bennett Madison, Vanity Fair – In which he has had it up to here [indicates high place] with Theon’s torment and doesn’t have time for it.
Dave Gonzales, Thrillist – In which he didn’t like the way in which Littlefinger [spoilers] dies.
David Crow, Den of Geek –In which he identifies the electricity sparking through Cersei’s and Tyrion’s scene, or more appropriately, Lena Headey’s and Peter Dinklage’s.
David Malitz, The Washington Post – In which he suggests the episode was too predictable.
James Hibberd, Entertainment Weekly – In which he praises the episodes ‘contemplative tone’ under the ‘masterful direction by Jeremy Podwesa.’

Josh Wigler, Hollywood Reporter – In which he praises the ‘stunning season seven finale.’
Kaitlyn Tiffany, The Verge – In which she thinks that the lead up to the Dragonpit was like watching the cast of a musical do their pre-show prep.
Kim Renfro – Business Insider – In which she explores 9 pieces of the episode you might have missed.
Laura Hudson, WIRED – In which she firmly believes the show has failed its fans and is simply a meandering cartoon.
Laura Stone, Hey Don’t Judge Me – In which she makes us all imagine our Aunt having sex with us.
Melanie McFarland, Salon – In which she argues that GOT slowed its roll and worked to get us back on its side again…with varying success.
Mike Bloom, Parade – In which the White Walkers were kind enough to post a ‘Notice of Demolition’ on The Wall.
Myles McNutt, The A.V. Club – In which he has a very interesting take on the Cersei/Tyrion reunion that I’ll let you enjoy for yourself.
