    Phenomenal, magnificent, one of a kind!

    This episode was pure epicness in any way. It was an adrenaline rushed action packed with perfect narrative and brilliant acting. This series can only be better, an that's fact. I am still trembling and shaking because of what I've seen. Game of Thrones have all kind of stories we love from intrigues, love, adventure, epicness to horror, and thats why it is the best show in TV history.

    +Tyrion & Dany very dynamic story with perfect introduction of whats to follow.

    +Sansa and Theon story progression; Fine acting as usual.

    +Valyrian steel and John sword ;)

    +Cersei in a difficult situation. Perfect acting.

    +Spokes on a wheel. Effective monologue.

    +Winter and horror. Glimpse of future chaos. Definitely proved that chaos isn't a ladder...only pit! Cool scene at the end.

    My score: 10/10 if I could give it more I definitely would! Pure brilliance.

    Adrenaline overload !

    This is what we expect from Game of Thrones, and by far this will go down as one of the best episodes overall, and deservedly. Every minute of this episode is poised to give you that feel which we thought has been long lost after some of the recent episodes. 'The Gift' had definitely showed some great comeback potential but this is was the real Winner. Tyrion is back to what he does best and Jon Snow has become a man of action again, but who has really impressed me in this one is Tormund, this character has definitely improved a lot this season, and reflects true fighting spirit and courage. Overall, this was one hell of a show couldn't take my eyes off the screen for a second, don't dare miss this one ! Valar Morghulis !

    Review of season 5: Episodes 7-8

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    Episode 7 was good, not great, but good. There were some plot developments as usual, plot moves forward, but nothing that good. Sure, costumer, set design, acting is at their best, but something was missing.

    Episode 8 gave us FINALLY that missing piece. WOW was the first word that came to my mind after witnessing this piece of art. Won't going to spoil anything, but this is hands down the best episode of season 5, and one of the very best of the entire show - it is THAT good. There were many great written exchanges in this episode, very strong acting us usual, and what an outcome. Sure, it's not the outcome yet, but what a spectacular, superbly directed, shoot sequence at the end. Kudos to all involved, terrific sequence, probably to big to wittiness it on a small screen - what other shows do something like that?

    Overall, Episode 7 gets 8/10, and Episode 8 pure 10/10. "I think we are fxxxed" - that is probably was the first thought that came to John Snow's mind at the very end of this sequence.

    Best thing i ever watched

    This is for me the best episode i have ever watched in my entire life.

    I watch every season of game of thrones without watching any trailers or spoilers so this episode just shocked me. The last 20-25minuttes are just so epic and amazing that i cant find any word to describe it.

    Thank u so much David Benihoff and D.B weiss for giving us this amazing show.

    Yes, Winter Has Finally Come!!!

    Holy bananza, this episode took me by surprise. i wasn't expecting this epic battle, the writers have finally delivered some amazing action in this slow paced season.

    for me, this season was the weakest, but thank god for this episode, this is probably the best episode in the whole show, it has everything you ever wanted in Game of Thrones and more. heck, the last 20 minutes was one of the best things i've ever seen in TV history. for all the people who gave up on Game of Thrones because of the 5th season, you don't know what you're missing!.

    only Two episodes left, hope the writers continue with this amazing work. can't wait another week!

    • Trivia
      This episode required a heavy budget for CGI, and it got to the point where the visual effects crew had to ask HBO for more money.
    • Goofs
      In the last scenes, Wun Wun walks towards the sea, heading to the ship, but he disappears right after that. As the cameras feature the boat moving towards the ship, Wun Wun can't be seen anywhere on the water. He simply vanishes.
    • Quotes

      Tyrion Lannister: When I was a young man I heard a story about a baby born during the worst storm in living memory. She had no wealth, no lands, no army, only a name and a handful of supporters, most of whom probably thought they could use that name to benefit themselves. They kept her alive, moving her from place to place, often hours ahead of the men who had been sent to kill her. She was eventually sold off to some warlord on the edge of the world and that appeared to be that. And then a few years later the most well informed person I knew told me that this girl without wealth, lands, or armies had somehow acquired all three in a very short span of time, along with three dragons. He thought she was our best, last chance to build a better world. I thought you were worth meeting at the very least.
