I might specifically rewatch each battle episode before I place my vote. This is up there...But I'm thinking maybe Bastards

My biggest disappointment is the lack of Ghost for so long.

Loved it but it was really hard to watch during the day. It was too dark BUT I kinda think it served a purpose. It certainly raised anxiety.

I rewatched the episode tonight and there were a few things I caught this time around that I didn't notice in the first watch. I won't list them off but I'll mention that after Vicerion is attacked by Rhagal he starts billowing blue flame from various puncture wounds along his neck. It's pretty clear when he's stomping through Winterfell's courtyard as John plays hide and seek.

I didn’t have any of these brightness problems. Ghost apparently survived and is in the Ep4 trailer.

I thought the red woman’s death scene was a bit WTF but I kinda felt like since the sun was rising she gave her life to bring back the light. Or maybe she had to die in the sunlight.

I took it that she died from the cold due to actually being a vert old woman who no longer had the magic of her necklace. It was either going that way or Davos killing her like he promised.

I saw that the first time, but what I didn't see the first time and picked up on the rewatch was Jon NOT being an idiot and screaming at Visereon, he was actually ready to sacrifice himself distracting Visereon so Arya could get into the Godswood hence Jon screaming "Go" a few times.

Very, very well done.

So you could see Arya running around? Or is that your own interpretation?

I actually thought he stood up and yelled 'STOP' out of pure frustration. :D

That was my thought too watching live, but in hindsight it made no sense.

It's my own interpretation but it absolutely fits.

He also 100% yelled "Go".

Next scene is the wind whistling...

I had a friend stay over last night and she hadn't seen the first 3 eps for this season so I sat through them all again.

When Danny gets bucked from her dragon, she hits the ground and just off to the right of the screen several wights just run up and fall to the ground untouched by anything.

Love this!! so hope it happens, and slowly so the bitch can see Arya take off the face to see she was killed by a Stark.

Either that or Tony Stark somehow intervenes.

I haven't seen End Game but I'm pretty sure Tony Stark won't be doing anything of note... :|

Good ep today. Lots of interesting progression.
Spoiler!
I've never really understood C3PO (that's what we call her). There was no such character in the books.
I didn't like when she bad mouthed Sansa last week. Sansa should have said "Who the fuck are you 3PO to talk to me like that?"

Spoiler!
annnd she's turning into the Mad Queen.

it'd be hard to find a fan who gives a fuck about whatever her face is getting her head lobbed off. I mean grey worm might be on of the least meant to be intimidating characters in epic saga fiction TV history. A dude with no dick or balls with no actual warrior body physique who fights with a giant stick gets angry because his girlfriend a character no one cares about dies when the audience and most other characters in the show don't even care shew as taken. A character that offered nothing but terrible acting so when combined with Emelia clarke just created two people who struggle to act up to the standard in all their scenes together.

I found it a bit odd how easily the 2nd dragon went down but I'm enjoying the quick descent into Mad Queeness of Dany.

Shouldn't this have happened last season or even the one before. It's like S1 of Cobra Kai where Miguel left turns into a prick in the last couple of episodes out of no where.

She's had a few temper tantrums but hasn't gone full balls psycho yet.

but that's because she's only just found out that everything she's fought for is coming up to nought coz some dudes come out of nowhere with the birth rite to the throne before her so she's losing her shit because she's not in control anymore.

Since she came to Westeros, Danny has lost two dragons, probably more than half of her army, the people she came to save do not like or trust her and she's now been made aware of an heir to her throne with a far greater claim than she has and she's also lost her dearest friend/confidant. I'd say enough shit has gone down in less than a month to test anyone's sanity.

We don't even need to mention the fact that she has seen the future and it was all hot milky beverages in strange paper cups.
