Michael Bay fans please leave!
I'm sorry but clearly some people on here have never properly watched the show or have just recently binged it all and just skipped past the "boring" talking bits?! Seriously GOTs has always been character driven, that's why when the big moments happen you feel so emotionally involved! Next weeks Episode 3 is a 1hour 22 minute battle sequence that has been set up perfectly by the first 2 episodes. Those of you leaving 1 star reviews need to get a grip and have a serious reality check! I'm not saying everyone should give this episode a 9 or 10 but anything below a 7 is madness. If you just want mindless action and fighting with no character driven storylines go and watch a Transformers movie!
This episode was for true fans!
Anyone who has been watching this show for a decade knows the value of this episode. We never had an episode like this where almost the whole cast was in a single scene! This episode was really for the true fans of got who have been wishing to see how all these actors can come together and interact with each other. This episode was and emotional roller coaster where u laugh in one scene and cry in the next one! I loved it to the core!
Come on people!
A knight of the seven kingdoms is not as half bad as other episode!! Don't drag it down with the others. Give some respect to the producers and writers of this episode please
A near perfect episode, a step up from the last one
I can see how people may have been a bit annoyed with the previous episode, it's lacking dialogue and overall ''filler'' feel.
If that is true- then this episode was a huge step up. If last episode was all the ''reuniting'' of many characters we were waiting for- then this episode was the reuniting with great dialogue that we were waiting for. Disclosure- those that expected the battle to happen in this episode are probably the ones still disappointed.
It still turned to be out to be one of the most satisfying, intense and emotional episodes in the entire series: We got tense interactions, humorous interactions all complete with great dialogue between the characters we've come to love. All woven together scene after scene perfectly, without fail.
Though, it's bittersweet because it feels like this may have been the last farewell to some of the characters before next episodes events, it has been quite the ride.
It even tied in a great vocal/song overlaying the last few scenes. I was reminded of Pippin's song in Lord Of The Rings. The perfect prelude to a great battle to come.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that it hearkened back to the some of the best interactions/ dialogue we saw in earlier seasons.
To conclude, GoT still delivers in it's last season and the best is likely still to come!

Build-up for the most anticipated battle in tv history
Boy did this deliver. I liked the premiere 'Winterfell', but this is on an entirely different level. I laughed, I got chills, I cried. I won't spoil anything, but the writing in this is incredible. Even though I love Game of Thrones (also the later seasons), I never thought I'd say that about a season 8 episode. Sure, the writing last episode was good, but this is seriously season 3 - 4 levels of writing. Beats 'Kissed by Fire' as my favorite build-up episode. I think that when all is said and done and people rewatch the entire show, this will be one of the best episodes. It just flows so well and perfectly prepares us for the biggest battle we're ever going to see. I'm gonna miss Game of Thrones so much, let's enjoy it while it lasts.
Did you know
- TriviaWriter Bryan Cogman described this episode as a "love letter to the characters." He explained that in most of the previous battles in the show, there were around 15 minutes of preparation and character-centered calm-before-the-storm scenes, with them taking stock of where they are in their lives before the battle breaks. Since the upcoming battle in the next episode (The Long Night (2019)) is the most central in the show yet and features almost every major character, this time, the writers decided to dedicate an entire episode for this kind of preparations, so the battle episode could "hit the ground running."
- GoofsJaime claims that everything he did (including the killing of Aerys) was for his house and his family. Actually, he did it to prevent Aerys from killing the residents of King's Landing by wildfire (Kissed by Fire (2013)).
- Quotes
Jaime Lannister: In the name of the Warrior, I charge you to be brave. In the name of the Father, I charge you to be just. In the name of the mother, I charge to you to defend the innocent. Rise Ser Brienne of Tarth, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: The song "Jenny of Oldstones" plays over the closing credits. The song is about a royal scion who gave up the throne for the love of his life, which reflects upon Jon and Daenerys's relationship.
