It does seem like the biggest complaint about the series is its complexity, and I'm not sure why. Life is complex. We have a million stories that are tight and neat, why do we need another?

Now that was a good episode. It was already a great episode prior to the battle at Hardhome. Then that put it over the top.

Jon Snow + Valerian steel = dead white walkers.
We're gonna need a lot more Valerian steel. |

That may have been one of the best episodes of the series. I don't know if it was because I got to see Tyrion interact with Dany, or because they randomly inserted a massive Wight army attack scene, and confirmed what we all thought about Valyrian Steel. Either way, very well made.
That said, I am pumped to see what Dany becomes with Tyrion's cynical, yet brilliant understanding of Westeros.

Also, did anyone catch the beyond the episode afterward? The creators refered to the main villain as the Night King, confirming their blunder in Season 3, where they named the episode "The Night King" and quickly changed it to avoid spoilers.
Anyone with a bit more book knowledge want to remind of the signficance of the Night King?

Nan telling Bran about the Night's King:
The gathering gloom put Bran in mind of another of Old Nan’s stories, the tale of Night’s King. He had been the thirteenth man to lead the Night’s Watch, she said; a warrior who knew no fear. “And that was the fault in him,” she would add, “for all men must know fear.” A woman was his downfall; a woman glimpsed from atop the Wall, with skin as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars. Fearing nothing, he chased her and caught her and loved her, though her skin was cold as ice, and when he gave his seed to her he gave his soul as well. He brought her back to the Nightfort and proclaimed her a queen and himself her king, and with strange sorceries he bound his Sworn Brothers to his will. For thirteen years they had ruled, Night’s King and his corpse queen, till finally the Stark of Winterfell and Joramun of the wildlings had joined to free the Watch from bondage. After his fall, when it was found he had been sacrificing to the Others, all records of Night’s King had been destroyed, his very name forbidden. -Bran, ASOS

Yes, the Mother is one of the Seven, and I agree. Could definitely relate to that.

Watching her trying to lick water off a dungeon floor was magnificent.
