Could you watch it all in one sitting? I got a bit dizzy with the lighting and close ups...could be partly the weather here though...crazy hot
Yeh it’s fine mate but I do spend about 80% of my day staring at games and movies so kinda used to it haha.
I mean, to be fair, they’re trying to close it out in 6 episodes so it makes sense to end it there. We’ve got an episode of aftermath/grieving before an episode fighting Euron/Golden Conpany and then a final episode wrapping it up.

Brilliant spectacle (minus the lighting) but I was disappointed in the narrative. The last three episodes have to do something special to rescue the conclusion to what has been my favourite show the last decade. I must stress this is all my opinion and speculation, but I've always felt that the show-runners really didn't give a damn about the WW and some of Martin's much more detailed and expanded mythology and I think that shows in this episode. Believe me I'm not one of those people who loves the books ( only read the first two) but I can't believe that this is how he's going to end the narrative in his books. Hopefully there are more twists and turns to come and I'm made to eat my words here. Some of the things characters did in this episode where just absolutely bonkers as well case in points being
Dany landing her dragon forcing Jorah to come rescue her and subsequently die. Jon squaring up to the ice dragon. Samwell Tarly the entire episode...just [Poor language removed] that guy. Also the disdain the show-runners have for Ghost is ridiculous. "[/SPOILER]
Also the director and show-runners said Helm's Deep was the benchmark... I think they fell short of that. In Helm's Deep you could at least see what was going on the majority of the time.

I thought the Helm’s Deep remark was merely battle duration?
It’s high octane, there are some crap scenes but was overall a tense and fun watch.
I suspect we’ll all end up disappointed at the narrative end of E6 because they’ve quite clearly rushed the ending.

The director said it was the “inspiration” for this episode. I’m sure that obviously refers to the length, but they clearly took some cues from The Two Towers IMO.

Question for you and everyone (and myself really as I have no clue)...
Do you think the people running the show have any clue what to do about Bran? Or have they been lumbered with him due to the books and now we’re left with a very unsatisfying and mostly infuriating character? Obviously there’s three episodes still to go but bloody hell he’s been a pain for some time now.
Haven’t read the books myself but I can’t really see where we go with him. He bigger himself up as the Night King’s true target in Episode 2 but now they’re all seemingly dead... maybe we can just stick him in a tree and forget about him
