It wasnt what we wanted but what we needed.
Let me start by saying I completely understand why this episode has been hated on, and I do partly agree. If this had been one of the first episodes of a season i would have completely been fine with it as it is a good episode in theory but they placed it at the complete wrong time in the series.
They hyped all of this wedding stuff up throughout the whole thing with fast paced intense action almost and then it gets crushed by this slow moving episode.
Now i can sort of get why they did this, as it is to show the aftermath and severity of what's happend and how jer has coped with losing her and vice versa.
Now this is fine but not when there is only 2 episodes left and there's is still so much more to cover!!!
The trailer for this season doesn't even show the first 8 episodes and only the last 3 and yet it seems everything we wanted and need closure on is being squished into 2 hours (2 episodes)
Now don't get me wrong it's doable and i have high hopes the next 2 episodes will make up for this one but they are really playing it risky cramming in so much into 2 episodes and i hope it doesn't feel rushed.
I wish they might extend the last 2 episodes for the grand finale but i somehow doubt this.
In conclusion, I can see why they wanted to do it, but they executed it horribly.
The episode had good parts and gave us insights into the side characters taking of the news but like not on the final three episodes where it should be the most tense!!!
However I'm very hopeful for the last 2.
