  1. Eeeessshhh The action was a horrible, disgruntled mess filmed in horrible fashion. Ironically enough the best shots came just before the battle and right after. Now I'm not saying the episode was horrible as a whole but when you can't distinguish between Dany's dragon, Jon's dragon, or the Undead dragon we've got a problem. Same thing on the ground. Couldn't see shit. This episode being compared to Helm's Deep is laughable. It may be more explicitly violent but we're far and away from Jackson's slick directing and editing of that legendary sequence where you never lose sense of the geography within the scene in any of the shots. Not sure what I think of the ending twist yet, it will depend on how it ends I guess. So many characters teleporting, being nonsensical... cop outs, in-extremis saves (I lost count), and characters being so damn stupid it was actually frustrating to watch. It was a captivating episode though, I'll give you that. Curious to see where they go next. Not enough casualties if you ask me.
  2. To think I was in theater watching Winter Soldier opening night and thinking "wow it's so different than I expected" and afterwards, realized the directors deserved credit for taking an absurd concept (captain america as a whole) and making it work in a modern setting the way they did. That movie was an absolute surprise to most people in terms of quality I think. Now here we are... future box office kings. I don't think anyone sat down to watch Winter Soldier back then and thought "one day these guys will make the biggest box office event of the decade" Their achievement is truly incredible. And they don't even have a dud in there... jesus
