So while I liked the episode, I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed with the Night King's death. For a character they've been building up for so long, what he took with him in terms of lives felt rather... it felt like they hadn't earned his death, especially not like that. That felt rather cheap to me for a character who's supposed to have been the worst thing they could possibly fight. I have to say, I'm having a hard time getting amped for what's to come knowing that Cersei couldn't possibly do HALF of what the NK is capable of. Will it be easy, no. But in terms of impact, while there were some losses, I feel like they still didn't have the impact they should have. On the other hand, they also sent 40,000 Dothraki straight to their deaths (or supposedly that was the number) so a MASSIVE part of their army is missing. I think it's ONLY for this reason alone that the battle with Cersei will be difficult, but IMO the Night King only served to nerf the fuck out of Jon/Dany's army because with all three dragons, plus the forces they had before, it would have been a wash.
