I enjoyed the episode, it showed interesting interactions and it moved me at some points.
But there's something this series lack since some seasons ago, and I wanted to share it wih somebody :P. I refer to the scenes DEPTH, I remember those huge dialogues in which we could get to know every character motivation, every detail and feeling. Now I see that each and every dialogue scene lasts for less than five minutes... Jon learns his parentage in no time, he negates ir for a few seconds and... it's done, he accepts that and on the next episote he tells Danny again in a couple of minutes and she does the same thing. Before in the series, we traveled along with the characters during their crucial moments, we suffered and felt glad for them. There was DEPTH, because the show was working on that immersion. I remember those Council scenes, those interactions Hound-Arya, Arya-Tywin at Harrenhall, Jon-Igritte, and many more... Interactions that were developed due to the brilliant dialogues and the time and effort the scrip and the show wanted to commit in order to get a deeper knowledge and fusion with the characters and the whole story,
I don't know, I missed a scene with Jon, alone, trying to accept what he learned from Sam, some flashbacks about Ned saying he would tell him about his mother, about what he knew about Harrenhall Tournament, he realizing that Daenerys is a relative, some words he remembered from Maester Aemon speaking about the honor and the family when he wanted to leave the Watch when he was told Ned had been killed...
An introspective and psychological scene with all these reminiscences would have been something great, moving and more logical, because nobody accepts something like that as easily. And a scene like that was something I missed a lot that would have improved the climax of the revelation a lot.
This is and example, but there are a lot more... And it's a pity the show didn't want to focus on that anymore. I know there is a lot to tell in 6 episodes, and that's way every scene is so short. But nobody forced HBO to end this series so quickly, and as I say, with some tiny amends, the internal logic of this last seasons would have improved a lot.
Anybody else feels this way? Anyone else felt like the fox watching the geese with those conversasion feints between Jorah and Lady Mormont, Jon and Arya, Danny and Jon, Jaime and Bran...?
