Couple Of Things I Picked Up On…

Hey guys, I’ll try to make this brief.

Amazing episode. Some gripes, but it’s still one of the greatest things I’ve ever watched on TV.

When Lyanna Mormont was killed, the camera shoots up into the sky. To me it looked like the bodies around that area were arranged in one of those spirals. Look for it, maybe i’m imagining it.

Bran has orchestrated everything to destroy the NK. I loved how he glossed over and just played his role: recording everything. Even pushing Theon to sacrifice himself. He said exactly what Theon needed to hear to delay the NK and make him relish the moment more (parallels Oberyn here). It was too unlike the 3ER to emote like that.

They spent a lot of time and resources building and arming those catapults and trebuchets. Just saying.

At first I was pissed that Arya screamed while sneaking up on the most dangerous being on the planet, then I realized that she would have missed the right spot if she had stayed silent. Interesting choice.

Gendry? Anybody seen this bloke? Green Dragon? Anybody seen this bloke?

I don’t mind the plot armor stuff so much, but watching every main character surrounded by swaths of dead bodies made me chuckle.

Tyrion/Sansa scene behind the grave is a wonderful scene.

Shit. I said brief. Sorry.
