734892, What I don't get is, why even have him survive the battle? Posted by stravinskian, Thu May-09-19 12:10 PM
If they were just gonna send him off quietly, why not just say he never came back from the Dothraki charge? That'd be a more meaningful ending to his story anyway. And it would have been even CHEAPER to shoot.
Same thing with Rhaegal. People didn't know at the end of ep 4 if Rhaegal was still alive. Turned out he was alive but (apparently) died almost incidentally in the very next episode.
Maybe there was SOME plot motivation for having Rhaegal die at Euron's hand instead of the Night King's, but for Ghost to survive for a few more scenes and then just be sent off sad just doesn't make any sense.
I'm still holding out some hope that we might see more of one or the other of these critters, mainly just because it doesn't make any logistical sense why they would have done it all this way.
Yeah, CGI is expensive, but so is filming in Iceland! How much money is HBO making from this show?
