Yeah, he is. You can see him in the background of the shot when they're all lined up outside the gates.

Apparently some things are blink and miss or very difficult to spot unless frame by frame.

LOL at people acting like the white walkers weren't the threat they were made out to be all these years. If Arya doesn't make that kill right then, the world is dead.

Also, LOL at people suggesting the NK should have gone to KL. What the hell does he care about King's landing?

So many people wanting the show to play out the same ways as they would expect from other lesser shows they are used to.

I get that, and I didn't expect military tactics manual in the TV show either. Ironically, those glaring stupidities characters are forced to do for the reasons you mentioned are the ones that take away from the show and those reasons too, for me at least. That's all.

It was obvious because Ghost was in the preview for next Sunday's episode.

All this commenting on picture quality is perfect argument for Blu-ray/UHD over streaming. All I could think while watching was, "Man, this will look soooo much better on disk." Props for the B5 reference, especially considering how sadly painful those look.

So I felt a little letdown with the ending of the 3rd episode. Not really what I was expecting but not happy with what I got. I felt like the king would have been harder to take down. So now I am interested to see where the story goes. The 90 minutes went by quick.

Huh? This show hasn't already reached the lower depths of "lesser" shows for you?
Interesting.

Isn't it obvious? They're going trample Cercei with elephants.

Why yes it’s obvious. It was just felt like a lame kill for such build up. I already watch Rey kill a elite praetorian guard the same way.

Pretty sure Rian Johnson wrote this episode.

Since everyones so disappointed you wont have to finish the next 3 episodes so that's a plus. Now you can complain in different TV threads

[andantelise]

Isn't it why these forums exist, to voice one's opinion, positive or negative?

I really wanted more from the Knight King.

Sure but the criticsms of the dark style of cinematography and complaining about a lack of YouTube lore doesnt interest me. It's been eight years of world building. More exposition, not needed. This isn't comic book plotting where every intangible needs long winded explanations.

If you felt nothing during the night king score, Jon about to get torched by a dragon and mormont getting brutalized why are you still watching this? Probably time to move on, you wont be missed.

Cool. But, I think I'll stick around.

[travisbickle]

I think they intentionally make it a bit darker than usual just to **** with the people (like myself) who torrent the show.

I'm sure the Blu will look great.

[KcMsterpce]

I don't mind any thread where people discuss likes or dislikes of the topic.
As long as you have a decent argument/explanation for those feelings.

To tell someone "Well you might as well stop watching it then" is pretty childish. Especially if there are three episodes to go. It's like telling someone to stop running a marathon on the last mile. However painful it is, might as well finish!
