Uh-Maze-Ing They seriously must have allocated their entire budget to film that episode. Given the way they've skimped on battles, I did NOT expect it to be that epic. That puts a lot of blockbuster movies to shame. Combined with the dialog and the fact GRRM wrote this episode and preserved everything that was awesome, this was one of the best hours of television ever. I think my favorite aspect of that episode..and there were many great ones.....was Stannis leading the charge and showing what a badass he is. I think GRRM wanted to really illustrate to us since he hadn't really had a chance to do that in the books as much. I could watch this episode 3 times in a row as much as I hate the outcome.
