Game Of Thrones: 10 Most Overrated Episodes

The various narrative issues, plot holes, and logic-defying moments in this episode didn't even have the luxury of high quality visuals to fall back on.

The concept to make The Long Night dark and moody made sense on paper. But, surely once the producers realised it was impossible to make out anything that was going on, they might have upped the brightness a smidge?

All the moments that could have been great were diminished by the sheer lack of in-world logic applied to them. The moment the Dothraki's flaming swords all started flickering out as they ran headlong into a swarm of the undead was a cool concept but made no sense tactically.

This episode also suffered from the same issue Beyond The Wall did. Main characters were put in situations it was almost impossible to survive and yet they all still did. Okay, we lost Jorah but even that didn't make sense, as he survived the pointless Dothraki charge only to be taken out by a handful of zombies.

The culmination to this episode undermined everything the entire show had been telling us from the start - the real threat was the Walkers, not the squabbling of different factions - but no, once again subverting exception was more important than the writers fulfilling plot promises they'd been making for almost ten years.

Everything wrong with the last season of Game Of Thrones can be exemplified in this episode. It was an over bloated spectacle completely devoid of substance and meaning.
