Best GOT episode ever on so many levels. The Starks finally get some revenge. The battles, direction, acting, pacing, cinematography, all the good people didn't die. Finally it all came together.  |
I respectfully disagree.
The music alone made Hardhome better. I know that the majority of my posts here come off as a bitter book reader but this episode should have just been a full episode of the "Battle of Ice".
IMO, a lot more tension would be produced if they did their version of the "Battle of Fire" with Asha or Euron coming to help Meereen at their darkest hour in the first episode of the next season. Granted, I don't know what kind of limitations D&D are under, how much influence they receive from people paying them, etc.
I know GRRM made his comment about the show now being fan-fiction but this was the first episode where that seemed apparent.
I know the show is different and there are aspects I love for that (Arya and Tywin, revising the Oberyn/Tyrion meetings) but ****, there are some parts in each episode this season that are just stupid.
