Right-o.
Move along, nothing to see here.
So therefore you're implying the 'average' episode of GoT is rubbish?! GoT has always been structured with slow build up and then frantic finales. I'd rather watch (and really enjoy) an 'average' episode of GoT than any other show on TV atm.
If you consider the breaking of Cersei or Arya's training boring filler then maybe you should watch something else?
People always watch and love a GoT season after the pay off episodes, get really excited about the new season and then moan when the pace doesn't match that of the previous season finale. Then it hits the end of season and they love it again. Same every year. The pay off is nothing without the buildup.
Absolutely. If it wasn't the outstanding last 20 mins of the episode it would have been fairly gash. Solid analysis.
Big BOOK? spoiler :
Just read on IMDb that he's some ancient Stark relative of Jon's
Book spoiler, albeit fan speculation still I think.

Baby Jesus on a Unicycle, that was some Peter Jackson level action!
Also got a decent script writer this episode, seemed a lot better with the character interactions. They seem to squeeze so much in to that hour it feels like a movie length episode looking back.
Just hope they have some budget left for 9 and 10, although there's one key scene which we know will be in the show that would have been cheap to film, lots of extras and a very low costume budget

A HUGE orgy maybe?

Waited 4 years and 8 episodes for this, they hinted it long enough !!!
Finally we see them properly.

I was about to start whinging about how unevenly paced compared to previous seasons S05 is and how heavy handed writing for this season became with the whole "I'm going to spell it out for you by whacking the audience repeatedly with terribly soapy 'back of the class pay attention' dialog" we've been fed for couple of weeks now, then Jon Snow shore landing happened. Now (whacks table repeatedly to accent every word) that's the GoT I'm used to, why can't we have some of that at least once every fortnight?
Probably because it would take them half a year to make. Apparently that 20 minute scene took them a month to film http://uk.eonline.com/news/661886/g..._medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=imdb_topstories

I never truly understood the scale of how bad it was until this episode, the rest of the story lines seem feeble in comparison. All we've seen before now lead me to believe they were a threat, but nothing which couldn't be handled, now it's pretty evident that Westeros is pretty much screwed.
