I might struggle to reach the wordcount here, because it is so hard to describe the beauty of this episode without including spoilers. The events of the episode for the characters were great, but the themes of the episode and the way they were handled were amazing. I do not usually deal with reminders of such things very well, but this made my heart ache in a good way.

I will be watching this episode again, even if I don't rewatch the rest of the show. It's just beautiful.

I absolutely loved this episode for the themes it explores and the way it played out. That said, as someone who does not usually watch either romance or horror/gore, I had to look away several times. It was a lot. I'm not going to mark it down for that though, because I think that was the intention. And I think it was beautifully pulled off.

Having not read the comics, I had no idea what I was in for. The visuals of the location were amazing, and I loved the casting and the acting of the characters in this episode. I also was not familar with the game before this, but now I am in love. The concept behind it -- which I believe isn't unique to Sandman -- is very interesting, and the way it was done and represented here, and the implications of the way the battle went, were beautiful. One of my favourite episodes of this whole show, I think.
