I gave a 9 as well. Really good episode.

9. Every scene was fantastic. I loved the Pod and Bronn reunion and the Tyrion, Grey Worm, and Missandei scene was fantastic. I'm only holding back from a 10 because it was a little jarring for Dany to show up and walk inside and then they cut away from Meereen. But I could certainly bump up to a 10 after I watch again.

A 9. Really awesome and marvelous. Every scene is good on its own pace and well-handle. Especially Riverrun scenes.

A lot of solid stuff, but some real missed potential with some storylines, ie Riverrun.

Could of been better.

I thought the opposite. She was Arya's enemy for almost 2 seasons now. She literally stabbed Arya and we got to see that and a 5 minute chase scene but not her actual death? Anticlimactic. But that's just my opinion.

Solid 9.5 from me .... might bump it to a 10 after a re-watch. I was really hyped about this one and actually didn't expect it to be as good as it was.

King's Landing scenes were unexpectedly sinister and awesome.

Riverrun was so tense and awesome and a nail-biter sequence. Had no clue how that was all going to go down and loved it. It as beautiful scenery and filming too.

The special effects showing siege on Meereen had me super pumped up. Would have loved to have seen just a few more minutes of it.

I'm going to drink another glass of wine and re-watch before I get too sleepy as I won't have time tomorrow.

Great episode, just not a 10 because of Arya healing from a mortal wound way too quickly, Tyrion's scene with Grey Worm and Missandei once again was dumb and pointless, and also because of the Blackfish dying offscreen.

Brienne and Jaime were great, as were Jaime and Edmure.

Cersei unleashing the Mountain was a bit underwhelming, but nothing unexpected. It was still a cool scene. Loved seeing Qyburn and Kevan again.

Glad to see those ships sieging Meereen. I hope we get to see Yara and Theon coming next episode and giving us a badass sea battle.

That post-credits scene was fucking brilliant, probably the best scene of the whole episode.

If you're a book purist, Riverrun siege played out basically note for note, yes (I suppose with Brienne's escape subbing for Blackfish but that was an improvement IMO).

It was the main reason when everyone was all "OMG, why don't they show Jaime's Riverrun stuff" last season I was like "the Riverrun siege was not really that great fellas". It's a kind of a cocktease of a storyline in general although the conversations are all top notch. The show basically gave the bookfans the exact book translation of the events (or as close as you can get to a 100% adaptation these days).

I thought it was very good but mostly because all of Jaime's scenes there in the book seriously lowered my expectations. Really glad we got all the great acting and cinematography there because it helped mask the fact that George gave us not much in the way of exciting developments there during that section.

I was just disappointed over all. (And I swear this isn't my LSH hype killing it for me, I tried hard to like this)

LIKES
Arya saying her name
The Mountain killing that sparrow
The Hound killing people.
Jaime and Brienne seeing each other again.
The episode itself was very well shot.

DISLIKES
~Dues Ex Danyma. It was just really safe.
~The fact the show has made Jaime Cersei's bitch to the extent that I can't even fully enjoy Jaime and Brienne's scenes.
~Jaime telling Edmure how much he loves Cersei
~Arya running around with a stomach wound like that? Did she get a dose of whatever Noomi Rapace got in Promethus to do that? That was ridiculous.
~King's Landing is still a cock tease. We move forward a half a step each episode to crazy Cersei, but she's still not there. The pacing is terrible
~And finally, what the fuck is the point of bringing the Brotherhood back if Stoneheart isn't with them? Now they're going North? What is this?
