10. Hardhome was of course amazing. WunWun! Longclaw! This episode was tailor made for book readers frustrated by GRRM's teasing us. When will a Stark find out Bran and Rickon are alive? When will Tyrion and Dany discuss their daddy issues? When will the White Walkers finally do SOMETHING? Done, done, and done. Loved this episode. Thank you, D&D, for finally letting something good happen to a Stark. The only thing that could have been better: I kinda wanted some WW dialogue. Can they talk? I really thought the one staring down Jon was going to say something, offer a tiny bit that could be a clue to us. What are they, why do they exist, do they want anything other than KILL ALL THE THINGS? Cannot wait till next week. The WunWun SFX were great and give me hope that they can pull off next week. Having a main character ride a CG dragon will be their toughest effects test yet, and I don't think its a scene they can do with wide angle/CG Dany. I want to see her eyes. I want it to be epic. For what it's worth, WunWun swinging a flaming tree trunk at waves of undead is one of the most amazing thing's they've pulled off.
