They had entire plotlines devoted to stopping him. They gathered people from left and right to fight him. Cersei has always been portrayed as a formidable opponent and a threat to Jon/Dany, but she isn't really a threat to the entire realm. I wouldn’t underestimate Cersei. Plus there are 3 episodes left so I don’t see King’s Landing getting wrapped up with a bow on it in the next episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is what I said not a plot hole? Characters are being swarmed by enemy soldiers, it cuts away, and now they're okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of mistakes, but that's a pretty minor and easily explainable one IMO. The Night King wants Bran so bad that he risked his life to be the one that kills him but couldn't catch up to a little girl carrying him on a sled because Hodor held the door closed for a 45 seconds?

You forgetting things that happened doesn't make it a plot hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think the Night King, who has a horse that doesn't tire, can track Bran's every movement and can kill a dragon with the flick of his wrist could've/would've caught up to them if killing Bran was his main priority? He easily could've killed the 3ER and then immediately started to pursue Bran and caught up to him within 60-90 seconds. He can track his every freaking movement... Again, if killing Bran was so important to him he would've killed him during all of this. Edited April 29, 2019 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's just you not agreeing with their choices which is your prerogative. Not every dot has to be connected. Not every single detail needs to be shown. Too much handholding required these days. Maybe ppl should watch basic shows like CSI where everything is tied up every episode and things are explained in drivels of exposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they hadn't set that expectation in seasons 1-4, and moved toward every major Hollywood cliche over the past two season, we wouldn't have that problem. I guess you're OK with bad writing, but that's your prerogative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The books will 100% be different than the TV show. The directors didn't even want to work on GOT anymore and got lazy with the writing.

It’s not outlandish to think highly skilled warriors can hold it down in battle even with overwhelming odds. They’re not fighting warriors, they’re fighting the dead. Incredibly difficult but not impossible. Should all of these heroes survived? Probably not. Again... not a plot hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please tell me how Bran realistically escapes that situation if he's the Night King's real target? But again, according to the show he's not that powerful after all. Hodor and two 14 year old girls were all that it took to protect the most important being in the universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every other soldier in the army was killed. So it's just inconsistent. If they swarm a dragon they can kill it easily but if they swarm Jon, Jamie, Brienne, or any other important character they're able to fight them off like it's nothing? Lmao.
