I give up,this series has no soul.

I thought it was an ok episode. its not classic GoT but still worthy of remaining in the watch rotation. I did officially stop watching it live.

the directing and editing is probably adding to the problem. that Frey scene had no lead in, admittedly I cringed at how they are trying to shoehorn the flow of the season in. Video game pacing ala JJ Abrams Star Wars.

Decidedly though I would agree that this season has been aesthetically very very clunky, ugly and probably soulless.

Best fking episode yet!!! i had a creeper in the eye a few times.

honestly, there's only a few things worth mentioning. seeing the Mad King right at the end of his days was pretty great. it flashes too quickly for me to get a good enough look to see if its the actor playing jaime doing the murder in the flasback, but meh. Also, i was expecting Coldhands to save Meera, not Benjen. this makes me wonder if they are combining Coldhands and Benjen for the show (since watchers know Benjen, but have no idea who Coldhands is), and how Bran's journey south will go (correct me if i'm wrong, but i dont think we are ever given info as to where Coldhands goes after Bran arrives at the cave. and i very very much enjoyed Sam taking his fathers sword. i have no idea who would wield it, but between Heartsbane, Oathkeeper, and Longclaw, thats 3 Valyrian Steel swords in the hands of people that we can easily consider to be "good guys" (ie: Sam, Brienne, Jon)

why did bran drink blood?

it is most likely to represent the "jojen paste" from book 5? that was my thought, just cant see what the point would be in that after Brynden Rivers is dead, Leaf is dead, and they left the cave.

you can definitely see the difference in the things written by GRRM versus things that HBO had to do on their own. hopefully the Dunk & Egg books will be finished before those are turned into a series as well.

sickens me that the fat worthless piece of shit sam is still alive

GRRM wrote sam into the stories to represent himself. fat ugly faggot worthless cunt that will somehow survive the entire story and stay relevant.

pras. Hound returns to violence one last time, fuck Preston. I knew it was a worthy cause to raise a sword again.

The Sam scenes were gold. Albeit video game cutscene paced, the lead-in shots and the cuts on this season are obnoxious and hard to overlook if you are a premium tv snob.. get that herky jerky feeling a lot lately. Cinematography is in an all-time slump. The choice of opening shots for Sam's dinner were glaring on this issue for me in addition to the Walder Frey sequence.

Finally got to see gilly as the pretty stunner that we know she is, still without makeup, that was nice. With makeup next time please for maximum overload.

Think I was the most disappointed with the Dany scene where she was rallying the dothraki troops and most of the shots looked like they were just a handful of dudes. 1000 ships? Try a dozen or so for them and the horses. The scene should of felt epic, instead it was like a bunch of guys cheering in a sports bar.

Budget cuts bro. It's much more affordable to hire 12 sports bar men than CGI coding of a 1,000 soldiers. Damn boy everybody know that.

[AzzarTheGod]

Budgets tend to get slashed more and more the later you go into a series. GoT is in its final seasons with a set end date. HBO always tightens the budgets up when there's an end in sight.

All the money went to the non-CGI Tyrell army suits and extras w/ choreography.
