While the battle for the North was unbelievable, I think one thing not getting enough attention is the fact that Dany now has potentially one of the best infantries (Unsullied), cavalry (Dothraki), navy (Ironborn), and the only aerial attack available. Toss in Tyrion's knowledge and tactical skills, she now enjoys an advantage in any location she chooses to fight.

God and baby Jesus I loved that shot. Rewound it like 10 times.
Can't say for certain they pulled it off here, but there is an almost identical shot in Ran with no special effects added, just composition and lenswork. Wish I knew where to find it [maybe it was a feature of a Criterion DVD] but I saw a featurette on Kurosawa's use of that deep field focus in Ran. That shot cemented for me that Ran was one of their big references in composing the Battle of the Bastards.

Men were loyal to Ramsay out of fear instead of respect, that was the perfect way for him to die.

Like I said, I wish I knew where to find the featurette, but this particular setup completely removes depth of field. Everything is in hyperfocus, near and far. And the faraway objects can travel great distance toward the camera without appearing to cover much distance. EDIT: IIRC, that was one of the subtle jokes in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In the scene where they are storming the castle, and the two guards watch disinterested as they run forever towards them, then in the next cut they are right upon them slashing their throats. It's making fun of how cinematographers play with depth of field in battle scenes.

I think something is going on with Jon. He looked unnaturally invincible in that battle and there's no way the horses shouldn't have trampled him.
That bitch did something to him and we're going to find out in the next episode. |

The cavalry clashed right in front of him. Once cavalry is engaged its speed is negated and its formation breaks up reducing the shock of the unit. Packed and disciplined infantry has always been the bane of cavalry.Horses are smart enough to not run into anything that looks solid after all.
