Realistically i would give it a 9.5 due to the Kingsmoot being infamously underwhelming.
But for the sake of this poll, I gave it a 10. Truly brilliant and fantastic.

Say! That's the best writing Dave and Dan have done for a while.

I, don't know what to say right now. I'm really flabbergasted by what happened at the end. I'll give it a 9 and think about it. It' needs processing.

I gave it a 10, but I need a box of tissues.

Best episode since the RW. I'd give it more than a ten if I could.

9 minus a point for Summer's death which I didn't think was very well done.

9. Knocked a point off for for an extremely underwhelming Euron. Everything else was great.

I'm gonna give it a 10. For that ending.
Jack Bender is great.

Easy 9.
Can't give it a 10, not better than Rains of Castamere but probably my second favorite episode. I liked this one better than Hardholme (and I really LIKED that episode, top ten for sure)
Loved: the whole cave sequence. Hold the door. Winterfell flashback. Husband going I KNEW IT!!!! I said that 3 years ago!
Likes: I actually liked the Kingsmoot and no one does speeches better than Alfie Allen. Sansa's meeting with Littlefinger Brienne's disgusted face at Tormund (LOL, the audience might ship it but Brienne doesn't) Dany's goodbye to Jorah and demand that he find a cure and return. Kinvara and Varys. No Kings Landing this week. Davos reminding Sansa of how "loyal" the North really is. Sansa calling out Littlefinger. Brienne's version of "trust of no bitch" (if you watch OITNB, you know what I mean) Disliked: Sansa lying to Jon. Why? What was the point of that. Littlefinger's smirk
Question: Is there a Jo Ann Fabrics up north? Where did Sansa find the material and the time to make fresh duds for her and Jon? How did Bran get fresh tailored gear to compensate for his growth?
Major sads: Hodor, Summer (man this show really does not want to do CGI for the direwolves do they?) , Leaf's deaths. I don't think this show has made me cry since the Rains of Castamere but I cried when Hodor was holding the door.
I am beginning to wonder what was the point of having direwolves in the first place. I am legit super worried about Ghost.

10. This is my favourite episode since the Red Wedding. +++ Daenerys and Jorah. It broke my heart, I was sobbing. He finally told her that he loved her and her response was beautiful. Maybe she'll never love him back the same way he does, but I really think Jorah is the most important person to her and now she has finally realized that. Amazing acting from Emilia there, and the dialogue ... "I command you to find the cure, wherever it is in this world, I command you to heal yourself and then return to me. When I take the seven kingdoms, I need you by my side." This is GoT, so he probably won't, but I really hope he finds that cure. +++ Sansa and Jon at the Wall. I just love seeing those two together and the scene where they were discussing what to do, together with Dolorous Edd, Brienne, Davos, Mel and Tormund. It's just so fucking awesome to see all these great characters in one place, interacting with each other. SNOWBOWL is happening and I can't fucking wait. Love Sansa's new dress. Torienne <3. +++ Beyond the Wall. We lost so many great friends tonight. It was devastating and I wish they had at least spared Summer, it hurts so fucking much to see another one of the direwolves go, especially this one. I will never forget how he saved Cat and Bran from the assassin back in Season 1. Bran's vision of the Night's King was the creepiest things we've seen on the show thus far and I loved it. I also love how they always manage to present the Others as pure horror, I get chills every time they appear on screen. Loved that they played the Winterfell theme during Hodor's death scene. He may not be a Stark, but he is a child of Winterfell and he deserved that. RIP Hodor, you were a great guy with a big heart and yours was the most devastating death since the Red Wedding, RIP Leaf, Goodbye Summer. Now winter has come. +++ Brienne's heading to the Riverlands, finally! ++ The Waif beating Arya up yet again was a bit repetitive, but I loved the play a lot, it was a nice distraction from the usual Braavos stuff. Poor Arya having to witness this shit, though. + The Kingsmoot was underwhelming and I'm not really sold on the guy who plays Euron - this is not how I imagined him at all. The coronation on the other hand was fucking epic and it completely made up for the scene preceding it. -/+ Didn't really care about Meereen in this episode, but the actress who played the Red Priestess was gorgeous. And finally, I fucking called it: underthehearttree.freeforums.net/post/166170/thread

I already watched it, and researched twice now. It remains a ten. The lulls like the Kingsmooth were only bad if you're expecting book accuracy, which we're not gonna get. Euron admitting to killing balon worked. The ironborn are kind of scumbags. Jorah and Dany was fantastic, Daario shouldn't have been there though, fuck him. Great Varys/NuMel interaction. Very weird, very dark. We rarely see Varys afraid. I think whatever that voice from the fire said has had a greater effect on Varys, and will have a greater effect on the story than he lets on. Sansa kicked Littlefinger in the balls. He deserves it. Team Stark/Dragonstone/(hopefully)Tully is coming together well, I'm glad Brienne is gone though, fuck her.
The real meat this episode however clearly was beyond the wall. The vision of the past, Bran and Hold the door, I mean Hodor. Fantastic. Tragic. I kind of thought we'd get a shot of Bloodraven saying something, or making eye contact with Benjen to tie things together, but no luck there. Still what happened was great.
I rarely give tens, so when I do, I really mean it. This episode is what the show is about and just why is worth watching.

Loved pretty much everything, but the Kingsmoot was underwhelming (even though Euron's coronation made up for it) and some scenes were way too short and too straight to business, like Bran's first two visions and Dany sending Jorah away. Summer's death was really anticlimatic too, so that sucked a bit.

10. My first 10/10 this Season, and the second since Season 4 (the only 10 last season was Hardhome for me). Amazing episode, superbly directed by Jack Bender. The only downside: it's a emotionally exhausting episode. It's one of those episodes (like The Red Wedding and Shireen's dead) that, when the credits ends, makes you feel a punch right in the guts.
Le Good:
* Bran's visions. Creepy, atmospheric, ominous, just like a horror movie.
* Dany and Jorah. Great acting from Ian and Emilia.
* I'm in the minority who actually enjoyed the Kingsmoot.
* No Ramsay.
* Meereen was very entertaining and the actress who plays Kinvara is ridiculously gorgeous.
* The theater play was hilarious.
* Sansa is playing the game.
* The last scene of the episode is one of the best the show have ever done, and when we are talking about a show full of amazing scenes, that says a lot. Truly heartbreaking.
Le Not So Good:
* Pretty much nothing, except maybe the weird dick shot and Euron being less charismatic than expected. Nothing major. And of course, and as I said, it's an emotionally exhausting and draining episode. One of those "It's totally great but I don't think I will rewatch it in a long time" episodes.

9.
I had to dock points for the Kingsmoot being boring AF and Littlefinger STILL manipulating Sansa.
I'm so sad, I bawled the moment Summer started whining. The ugly cry face was strong.
I felt so sad for Arya watching that play, and Dany commanding Jorah to find a cure. This was just a depressing episode all around. Hearing Sansa talk about her rape was hard to hear too.
At least Tormund perving on Brienne gave me a laugh. I needed that.

Honestly this season might pass season 3 for my second favorite.
I'm not sure it will ever pass season 1 though. That was pretty much a perfect season of television imo.
