Jon's mission continues north of the wall, but the odds against his ragged band of misfits may be greater than he imagined.
Oh My Goodness! I owe the writers a HUGE apology. A box I put myself in when I make sarcastic comments as I did for S07 E03! This has been so much better, more complex and more surprising than my simplistic suggestion - hmm . . . Could this be a hint about why I never ended up a successful writer? I believe so!
I'm surprised that the old lady of the group does not find it to be too fast! I agree with Thomas about the speed and the relationship between Daenerys and Jon! I know exactly why the episodes seem too slow to me and I find this with most series and movies, which does lead to valid complaints about screen writers. Because I haven't had a TV in years and certainly not a budget to include cable, I watch these in either a VLC player or some of the newer online players that allow you to add subtitles (thanks so very much addic7ion.com and subscene.com - you folks are great and appreciated along with TVMaze!) and they also allow you to adjust playback speed.
For parts of a show that have dialog, I use 1.25 speed for playback and love how it shortens binging time. But for all the time wasting scenes without dialog (long scenes of a character running, running, running - okay, we've got it already!) I quickly switch to at least 1.5 speed or faster. Those are the scenes that annoy me when I realize that some of the really best shows are pretty much filled with dialog, not objectionable language - we'll get on the soapbox about that later (Tee hee hee!), but actual interesting, well-written narrative that moves the story along. Too many shows have too many scenes that do not serve to move the story forward - IM less than humble Opinion. If you don't believe me, go back and watch this episode again looking for such scenes and the time wasted.
However, I also agree with the majority here - this episode especially was GREAT and worth ignoring the time wasting scenes. There's a lot that I don't like about shows like this, but I love monsters, fantasy, sci-fi, action, thrillers and if I just pay attention to the actual story, I still love this series - a guilty pleasure.
Thanks to all for voicing your opinions here, keeps my "thinker" working!
@vidomark Yeah, characters like Tyrion, Littlefinger and Varys are empty without Martin. Its a pity...
yeah, the plot's annoyingly fast imo, even if I take into consideration the fact that these might be parallel storylines or there might be a few weeks inbetween two actions. Also, the writing feels weaker than ever.
Definitely one of the most enjoyable seasons of GoT. The chemistry between John and Daenerys is just amazing with lots of action. I actually enjoy it being on a fast pace. Unnecessary scenes will be cut.
Well, they said, they do not have the budget for 10 episodes, so they are at least making the episodes a bit longer :)
@Legendares
I was thinking the same, quite disappointing to see it all happen to fast, they could build it up slower and make it a 10 episode season.
Winter is... here?!
I'm pretty much dissapointed in GOT. Things happen too quickly for me and there are some great holes in the script.
HOLLY SHIT!!!
BEST GOT EPISODE EVER!!!
Well, this was the best GoT ep by light years, unfucking believably amazing!
