Nothing will ever be attempted or even come close to the sheer scale & scope of that episode, 80+ minutes with barely any dialogue yet you couldn’t look away. In a league of its own I doubt it will ever be surpassed even in film. I’m sorry I’m not having some gripes I’ve seen on here & online, “best tv is another show” you’re on drugs there’s nothing even remotely close to the beast that is thrones, 1 in 7 on the planet watch it they reckon. To compare that to niche or relatively mainstream dramas is great but you’re dealing in 2-3 layers in things like breaking bad. GOT is weaving more multiple arch’s that have been foreshadowed 60 hours ago and it does it in jaw dropping fashion consistently, there’s been errors but fucking hell “I’m the one who knocks” or Dany setting fire to the Lannisters isn’t even a debate. It’s not even a serious conversation. “It’s too dark” fuck off it’s called the long night, (there’s a clue there) the night king brings a snow storm it’s been that way since the start, what did you expect from a night battle in a blizzard? If you couldn’t see it pause your fucking tv and adjust the settings you troglodytes! “Dragon glass just shatters them” yep we discovered that back at hardholme why do you think we all thought Jon would kill him with long claw? “Oh but it was cool then, I wanted more here” oh fuck off! It was always about getting him with valerian steel or dragon glass. “Not too many characters died”, we lost 6-7 at my count, 2 original characters that were in episode 1 and in Ed’s case episode 2 or 3. It outdid the red wedding in terms of credited cast deaths. We watched the entire Dothraki get wiped out (brilliant use of fire and lightning btw). I just think some people on here and in general have lost perspective and because the quality is so high have unrealistic expectations of a tv show now tbh. That’s why it’s the best, people are whinging it “didn’t do this or that” because they expect that absolute peak of everything from it, but it’s arguably gone past lord of the fucking rings and that dominated the academy awards and it’s a ppv cable tv show. There’s 3 episodes left I assume there’s more death to come and more twists & turns. We’ve probably watched 1milliom deaths now all in ffs. Nothing will reach these heights ever again in TV, just fucking enjoy it

The chaos is a ladder scene is one of my favourite scenes from the whole show.

One of the worst pieces of writing from the show was the way they had him beg before he was killed. Didn't fit his character at all.

The Alt part is more dominant, and there's a very malty taste to it. It's drinkable. Nothing great, but decent.

It was probably created by some hipsters. https://rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/duesseldorf/koelt-bier-neu-in-duesseldorf-und-koeln-halb-alt-halb-koelsch_aid-34107283 I will try it in a bit. If I don't post anymore after this, my body rejected it and shut down.

He and Varys were by far the most intelligent and cunning players of the "Game", until the writers had no idea what to do with them and dumbed them down. Their interactions were pure class.

Yeah I think the series might have that though with The Battle of the Bastards. That or Lord of the Rings' Helms Deep battle scenes - but I'd probably go with the battle of the bastards. Personally, I think it was a fantastic episode of what is probably the most impressive show we've ever had on our TV. But that doesn't mean it wasn't without it's flaws, something can be excellent and still not free of legitimate criticism. But beyond little gripes about the episode, it did its job really well. It was an episode that was designed to make you feel lost in the chaos of the battle, it did a great job of constantly ramping up tension. And the way they gave you hope before the first charge, only to then relentlessly shit on that hope immediately afterwards and fill with you with a sense of "WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO GET OUT OF THIS!?!" And it had other moments to pull on certain heartstrings. And then it has a great conclusion to a very tense battle scene. Those things all outweigh the fact that I had to turn off every light and shut the blinds to see what the fuck was going on, for sure. They even outweigh the fact that I thought "so if these dead bodies can punch through their tombs, why the fuck couldn't a white walker have escaped from that wooden box they took one to King's Landing in?" Because the episode was fucking fantastic and I'll excuse some shite like that to see this fantastic show get the ending it needs. I think if that episode is an indication, the ending of the show will be fairly satisfying. Can't be said of every HBO show.

I love the show and it's one of the greatest ever. But the doubts started when they killed off their greatest character, Littlefinger, in a very stupid and undeserving way.

I liked it as a 9/10 but I still could easily take a negative side in the debate. Mostly because it's prioritised spectacle over narrative consistency and general logic of the plot way too often since the show rode ahead of the books. Best example I can offer was the half baked plot last season to journey North on foot to capture a Wight. This episode had a similar level of "don't question the logic, just sit back and enjoy the spectacle" moments. Sam surviving being in a dogpile of wights for 4 hours. Davos weaponless but untouched. Everybody except the main characters dying. Everyone important in the crypts surviving what should have been the most comprehensive bloodbath of them all. The absolutely shocking stupidity of tactics to fight the wights and of putting people in the crypts when they knew he raises the dead

Oh yea btw:

The closest Vettel ever came to costing Hamilton the title. @Tommy @Cannabis Discuss.

Bought a bottle of this today: Költ. Apparently a mixture of Kölsch and Alt. I do not condone this, but I have to at least try it.
