I was underwhelmed. After the cold open which was fantastic it just felt like a chess piece moving episode. Which is fine as that has to happen in any narrative of this size, I guess I was just hoping for more in the opener at least.
Still enjoyed it as even average GOT is legit af. Wtf with Ed Sheeran?
That was not a subtle cameo by any means. A mostly useless scene as far as pushing the story direction. I was never a fan of Maisie Williams acting but the new smug, baby face, super powered Arya has got to go.
Everything else was pretty badass. The hound is my spirit animal.
What’s with the Ayra hate? I was thinking during Sansa and Jons discussion about how Ned and Robb were honourable men but made mistakes that it might be the female Starks who prevail. I predict that Sansa will screw Jon over at some point, Littlefinger will be involved no doubt.
Loving the fact that the Hound is getting some good screen time although I wish he’d stop coming out with such quotable lines so my colleagues stop asking me to repeat them. Last year it was “you’re fucking shit at dying!” This year it’s “shut up you bald cunt ! That top knot isn’t fucking fooling anyone”
Too many boring “girl power” characters. Not that there’s anything wrong with strong female characters, but her and daenerys are just noting to me personally
I suspect it was setting up something to come. Perhaps the leader of that little group of soldiers will play an important role at some point down the road.
That’s what I thought, Thomas Turgoose is too good of an actor for that short an appearance. If you like gritty, grim AF british drama watch This is England the movie and the follow up TV show.
