  1. I get that they want to have the wildlings walk through the tunnel and Castle Black for effect. So it was a good scene from the books come to life. For that I can look past the flaw of docking at Eatwatch by the Sea and yet somehow being on the north side of the wall. (Plus) Book Arya found clever ways to kill the merchant and the Lannister guy. So I'm disappointed with the Braavos arc this episode. The whole brothel scene was unnecessary. Aimlessly following Trant around with no real plan, made her look like a deer in headlights. She already used up her Mercy line from last season and now she's going to use the seduction lure this season. Full Mercy cannibalization going on. (Minus) We could have had LSH and Jaime in the Riverlands, instead we get Dorne. We could have had book Dorne, instead we get the hand-slap game. I feel like we the viewers are Tyene Sand getting our hand slapped by D&D every time they hack out huge plots and arcs. So we repay them in kind with a slap to the face to vent our frustration. (Minus) Ramsay's raid was a bit of a let down. The Shireen foreshadowing has been strong for a long time. Most everyone saw it coming a mile away. Not shocking. This is not the same Stannis that was holed up in Storm's End. The goal then was simple... survive and wait. Storm's End is NOTHING like his current situation. The more he waits, the more his men freeze, starve and die. Losing men and losing morale will lose him the battle before it even starts. Stannis has been drinking Mel's kool-aid for a while now. Melisandre has bent him to her will, but she's proved her power. Like he said, "Now is the time and I will risk everything." (Push) Would have prefered to see Tyrion make a wager on the fights. Would have been a nice way to bond with Daario, but whatever. Jorah spent too much time on his back. I expected more from him. Sad to see he needed help. Somewhat redeemed by his excellent spear throw. Did not see the Hizdahr stabs coming. Overall the Drogon scenes were not as bad as I had feared, but not as good as I had hoped. (Plus) 7 feels about right.
