Typhaon

To be fair - a lot of us have the benefit of having read the books and know where everything is basically heading. We see the things in the background of scenes, hear the references and know what to look for... but if you're a casual viewer - aren't the type to watch and re-watch previous episodes/seasons... and, perhaps, happen to miss the 'previous scenes' part of the show... those 'spell-it-out' bits of dialogue are (though sometimes funny... remember Selmy's re-introduciton?) a big help to viewers.

I gave it a 9. I couldn't find too much to gripe about and I even liked that after a lot of doom and gloom, they gave us a happy final scene, for once... Really liked the Beric/Thoros/Melisandre interaction... thought the sale of Gendry was a bit... off... I know they explained their need for gold in a few episodes, but it appeared they also really needed a skilled blacksmith -- and I'd imagine Thoros, at least, would have some idea of the fate that might await Gendry.

This tale is full of mystery and misdirection. If you think you've figured something out... you might be surprised how that changes not only your view of things going forward... but your view on quite a lot of scenes in previous episodes (seasons), even.
