I overall enjoyed it, but some scenes bothered me even with full blown suspension of disbelief. Mostly small stuff, but it still took me out of the moment.
-Arya dodging the undead in the library area. We go from a full on scrum with screeching dead storming over the walls, to a middle of the night, sneaking around silence. What the fuck, within 100 yards it's goddamn armageddon, and yet in this magical library it's dead silent.
-When the undead start throwing their bodies on the fire trench to get over, and they start swarming over, there's all of a sudden a call from several characters to "Man the walls!" Really? Walls weren't already manned? It's a surprise they might get through?
-Jon Snow literally surrounded by probably 10000 undead when the Night King does his undead raise, but somehow gets out of that.
It's small stuff, but kinda took me out of the moment. One tidbit I missed completely until I read some stuff online after is that Arya went all faceless man on a white walker and took one of their places, which is how she got so close. I thought she just jumped out of some hidden nook or some shit, which was going to be another "What is this bullshit" moment, but they do have the Red witch foreshadowing of it, and they do show a white walker with an out of character odd side look right before she leaps, so i'm fully in on that.
It was really enjoyable, just a couple of moments I just couldn't swallow.
