    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!

    Really the last good GoT episode

    Definitely the last good episode on the show. It's almost heartbreaking really.

    The best action-less episode of Game of Thrones!

    This is an intelligent episode. Brilliant writing, directing, acting, cinematography. The main theme is memory. What and when to forgive, and what to remember. "Never forget who you are!" All characters remember who they were, and what they've become, before death arrives. It is also a farewell episode. We will lose them all this season. "We never want them to leave" but they all will. Valar Morgulis! But we will remember ! Fans will remember!

    A great episode showing each character in what is potentially their last moments

    To everyone saying that this episode is a boring filler episode, you need to understand that it is a lot of characters' final moments on the show. If you wanted the show to rush to the action and forget about any touching character moments then you're watching the wrong show. Every character had a different way of coping with the inevitable which made the episode brilliant and doesn't give away any clues on what characters will survive the battle. When game of thrones is over, this will be the saddest episode to look back on as we'll realise that it's the last time we'll see certain characters' traits and interactions with each other. 10/10

    Edit: Easily the best episode of the season.

    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.

    • Trivia
      Writer 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."
    • Goofs
      Jaime 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 credits
      SPOILER: 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.
