JGP Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Gave it a 5, mostly due to production values. It lost points on: -dialogue remaining the same level and the last few Eps, meaning-- dogshit -nonsensical characterization: the story is no longer driven by our dramatis personae [3/4s of them aren't even recogniable anymore] it's all about the plot -poorly planned and executed battles due to the above This show has now leaped to the top of the pile of those I just like to watch to make fun of.

Batavian Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I thought this season started pretty weak. But what a finish. 10! Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Louis II (KLII) Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Come on guys, lets give credit when credit is due.. this was awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm.131 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) 10/10 I was on the edge of my seat and even shed a tear or two. The battle of Meereen played out exactly as I'd hoped. I was so glad to see the other two dragons flying again. I especially loved that they showed the battle as a messy, beastly event, not a clean tactical manoeuvre we usually see. The only thing I thought was far fetched to the point of being silly, was Davos finding the wooden stag he carved for Shireen. I'm pretty sure the remains of the pyre would have been scattered by the winds and/or buried under the snow given how much time had passed since the sacrifice.

Dragon in the North Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 10! One of my favorite episodes of the entire series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Louis II (KLII) Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I am all for being critic when they fail.. I was even for make a petition against the director of No One.. but besides the Deus Ex Machina of the Vale Army arriving at the end (like the Tyrrel in Blackwater Bay) everything was perfect and Ramsey's death was Epic. good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howling Mad Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Jon should be dead, his battle tactics were amateurish. The fall of Wun Wun after crashing the gates of Winterfell = classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal99 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 10/10 Some small plot holes here and there, but overall awesome hour of TV. Cinematography was great, even Mereen was fantastic for a change, dragon cgi was top notch. BotB was gruesome and really well shot, action packed and tensed, what more can a man ask for...

Westerosi Coast Gangster Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Best episode of the season, but Jon charging the whole Bolton army was a little dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) A very pretty and satisfying disappointment. The battle scenes (cinematography) were great. The plot holes were blah. At one point in time I thought this season was maybe their finest in terms of no terrible stuff and plenty of good. It was and still is an even season (apart from No One), but... This episode would get a stand alone 9, maybe. But coupled with the rest of the season, the plot holes stand out... the character choices that aren't organic stand out... the nonsense stuff like Davos finding the stag (as I predicted) stand out... the overall predictability and inevitability of events (no depth or creativity) stands out. I rated it a 7. This is a really expensive show with a great base from GRRM through the first bunch of seasons, but their solutions to books 4 & 5 and their off-the-grid navigation are just ugh. That bar still renders it a great show but it's now trending towards just your cliche, plot driven, inconsistent blah TV. D&D really are nothing special. It becomes more and more apparent that GRRM is the master and the rest rode his coattails. I've never been more satisfied and disappointed at the same time. And I've never missed GRRM more.

xjlxking Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Probably the best battle scene in TV show history. By FAR the best! 10/10 OMG! That's all i gotta say! Honestly, few minor things things that could have been better Of course it would not be ASOIAF if there were the small minority who don't give this show a 1. Special props to them; it takes balls to vote 1 when even ASOIAF forums give this shows 50% 10 and 22% 9. hokie3457 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timett sonof Timett is God Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 9, amazing battle scene , intense, poetic, brutal, claustrophobic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeuva Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 This director (same one that did hardhome) really does a good job in terms of pacing. Any problems I had with the show (not many, mostly minor) are ones where it seems like certain scenes aren't developed well enough. Some scenes seem to be thrown in there and seem a bit ragged. This director does a nice job getting the most out of each scene. They should have him do more episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barristan Whitebeard Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 LOL, anyone giving this episode an 1/10 needs to seriously reevaluate some things in his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Let we be generous for a change... 9/10. Many great moments coupled with solid music and exceptional cinematography. However, there were one cliche too much, one LOTR reference too much, one Dany speech too much. Overall, nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeWesterosGreatAgain Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 This episode had its whole plot leaked months ago, every site on the internet covered its production to the point of the a good portion of the audience knowing exactly how it was going to go - and it was still thrilling and visibly beautiful. I don't know if that's apprecaited in how amazing this episode was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 7/10 I can't give higher on account of Jon's utter idiocy, the neat wall of corpses that formed in the middle to neatly block Jon's army, and some of the blah blah in Mereen. And no Ghost. With all that CGI, they couldn't squeeze Ghost in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brah, it was too predictable. So not GRRM's work. Rickon ran in a straight line Sansa doesn't share Jon is too lucky 1/10 because of that.

lancerman Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 10/10. Best battle in the show from a tactical perspective. Even next to Blackwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
