| Rêveur said: I honestly don't get why people are so impressed with this episode. It was very conventional and clichéd. He good guys winning despite incredible odds, the last minute appearance of the Vale army. Not once did I fear Snow would die. Yes, the fight scenes were really well done. Bit otherwise, it was you basic good triumphs over evil despite incredible odds and with a last minute save. Conventional. I give it an 8/10. |
There's more undertone than you're giving it.
Sansa held back information from Jon. Sansa was upset that Jon didn't ask her anything. There's mounting tension.
Sansa officially crossed the moral event horizon. She is now a villain.
The battle was very well filmed. It's not often that you see both the chaos on the field AND the overall pitch.
Littlefingers appearance and what it means for the group.
The Danaerys situation FINALLY being resolved in Mehreen, it was really getting tiresome.
The episode was not about good triumphing over evil. The episode was about Sansa's initiation into villainy.
