A recap of season 8 episode 3 the Battle for Winterfell. Who died, Who Won, What Happened? Arya did what!?!? (Lots of Spoilers)

Nighty Night, Night King!

Episode 3 – Battle of Winterfell Results

The Great War has ended, the Last War is about to begin. In a gripping and death packed episode, we lost quite a few good characters and countless of soldiers died protecting Winterfell from the Night King. The episode proved to be intense and suspenseful all the way to the last few seconds with our girl Arya coming in HOT to save the North! 

The Battle at Winterfell didn’t play out exactly as we expected, to many a fan theories dismay. We did not think the Night King and his entire army would be killed all in one episode. Did anyone actually think Arya was going to be the one to off the Night King? Sure, some theories said she would be wearing Bran’s face and then would stab the Night King, but she just ran up to him surrounded by all his generals, knife a blazing and owned him with a quick blow to the side! Right in the nick of time! What the heck was Bran doing the whole time? Just warging and bird watching, he really was useless this time around. Also, many said that Tyrion would come up with some clever plan to give him our heroes an edge, but no. He was just drunk in the crypts the whole time. It wasn’t until we saw the zombies rising up from the tomb that we saw him man up and try to do something. That was disappointing to see in one of our favorite heroes. Everyone else fought valiantly and with such heart, we truly loved the fight scenes and effort put in by the actors as they barely survived death.
