** Even though both Jon and Dany are essentially flying air patrol for the Night King, there is no attempt at even a small amount of ground support while another DragonRider covers the other. This at least has the {{Watsonian}} justification of being the first battle to involve two Dragon Riders in over a century; even if their Valyrian ancestors had developed [[Series/HouseOfTheDragon and used]] this tactic, none of them were around to share it.

** Just after the Night King raises the dead, a large group of White Walkers PowerWalk through the smoke and ashes into Winterfell, their glowing blue eyes readily visible. James Cameron would be proud.

** Played with. In spite of the numerous death flags established during the previous episode, a surprising amount of main characters survive the battle, namely Brienne ([[TooHappyToLive having been knighted]]), Jaime ([[TemptingFate having been warned by Bran that he may not survive]]), Grey Worm and Missandei ([[IfWeGetThroughThis promising each other a future together at Naath]]), Arya and Gendry ([[DeathBySex having had sex hours before]]), and Sam ([[NonActionGuy being Sam]]). The actual character deaths shown play it straight, though.

* EasilyForgiven: Averted; Jaime or Sandor or Theon's sins might have been set aside, but Davos is not in a mood to forgive what the Red Woman did to Shireen. When he sees Melisandre has survived the battle despite what she said earlier, he follows with the clear intention of executing her. Turns out her words were NotHyperbole.
