Game Of Thrones Television series *may contain spoilers*

Looking at Reddit apparently the battle is the best ever in the show. So hyped but im not going to watch this leaked version.

Best in a awww yeah! Way, but nowhere near the intensity of the battle of the bastards. Best episode this season so far though!!
Arya is my fave Stark by miles. Bran/3 eyed Raven is the weird relative you don't want to talk too. A bit.. Damo

While it is tempting to watch the leaked episode, from what I have seen, it is 360p. I think I am just going to wait for broadcast in full HD glory.

Yep, 360 only from what I can find.

So I watched that episode.
Flat out nerdgasm

Definitely worth watching in 1080p though.

 

[SuperTimCahill]

Watched it just to avoid spoilers, even though the quality was crap. Can't wait to watch again when it's out on HBO.

The show was much better when I thought Jon Snow was actually dead.

Did anything happen this time?

Surprised at how meh the CGI they use is, you'd think given the size of the show the budget was there for it to be good but it always look miles off top level CGI.

Some of the dragon scenes looked hammy as feck.

loved the "less, fewer" line again lol

There were a couple of other nods to older episodes:

Spoiler

Arya trying to convince the two Stark guardsmen to let her into Winterfell started off almost word for word the same as the scene in Season one where she tries to get past two City Watch guards and back into the Red Keep

Now that was a great episode of GOT.

Felt quite short. And a bit "choppy". Lots of the scenes were top class, but the overall flow of the episode was a bit jerky.

Plus the standard mistakes from D&D:

Spoiler

why the fudge would Dany use Drogon to attack the supply wagons and the gold, straight after a scene where her lack of provisions and ships is openly referenced? It would have made more strategic sense to give the Lannister troops all the dracarys they could ever want and leave the stores / plunder relatively untouched, thereby allowing the Unsullied to be resupplied with food and the fleet rebuilt (with the gold). Tactically it would have posed less of a risk to her Dothraki too, since they are light cavalry and would therefore have suffered huge losses to the Lannister archers whilst charging over open ground to attack heavy infantry.

I did like the character development for Tyrion and Jamie though. The Queen's hand having his integrity and reliability called into question by his monarch, and Jamie seeing firsthand the sort of mass slaughter that he murdered the Mad King in order to avoid. This will drive Jamie and Tyrion irreparably apart, solidify Cersei's grip on Jamie and give Bronn a real question to answer re personal loyalty.
