GOT would usually have their climax of major battle events take place 1-2 episodes before the season finale, with the finale episode being a fallout

Im hoping for a big episode in the next two weeks.

"I'll have no songs on how brave you died, Kingmaker. There's tens'o' thousands dead on your account"
This is an awesome line that is apparently in the book and they just opted to ignore using in the show for Sir Creston's death scene

Totally agree and it really soured the moment for me. They tried to make it about shock value with the girlboss shooting him from afar because they've made Cole's thing that he's misogynist.

Really *******ized a pretty iconic moment of the Dance.

And that's after he literally talked about having songs written about him in previous episodes to set it up.

Well, I thoroughly laughed out loud at Cole's end. I read the spoiler text above, and I get where y'all are coming from, but I was unaware. Therefore, it was quite funny to me.

Alicent is just the frigging worst. The only difference between her and Cersei is that Cersei actually cared about all of her children. Alicent is all "I don't need a granddaughter. Let's go." I hope the witch in Harrenhall kills her.

Wasn't expecting that for the old Sea Snake. How'd that dude get from Tumbleton and find them anyway? Speaking of Tumbleton, am I the only one that thought Hugh's wife was out of line? Not a fan of how they had him get all forceful with her.

Alan and his half-niece? And she just lost her betrothed a few weeks ago? That was such a weird scene.

Hugh's wife sucks. Homeboy is a dragon rider now, he can pick and choose the ladies.

I'm just glad Alan stepped up when presented an opportunity.

Throughout the episode I found myself thinking, "Ya know, Robert Baratheon is seeming like a better and better ruler all the time."

Poor Rhaenyra. Comes up with a decent plan and picks the wrong dang Baratheon to frame.

Cole's death was so satisfying. Chefs kiss!!!

I wish Ormund could have death by being dropped into an outhouse hole.

Hugh's wife is the quintessential shrew trope. I think it was pretty obvious when there have been no cut scenes of her in T-town pining away for Hugh, and no secret messengers between the capital and T-town. Hell, we know the Raven Express was running messages, so it would have been onscreen more blatantly if she wanted him to see her.

C U Near Tumbleton, for sure, Hugh's wife (whatever her name is).

Crackhead Targaryen getting slapped by the Arryn chick was funny. She wasn't kicking up to the dealer so the dealer had to put her in her place.

I did enjoy how Ormund told that story about the Martell army that hid and attacked their enemies after they invaded, essentially setting up what was done to Criston's army one episode later.

Pacing has been weird for me this season. We started out strong with the action first couple of episodes. I know the last three weeks have been dedicated to story development, but definitely feels like it has slowed down.

The pacing and editing of this show have been pretty all over the place in my opinion.

There have been multiple scenes that like abruptly just stop and seem so half-baked.

This is a perfect description of this season.

If King's Landing had public access TV, assuming it was not axed due to budget cuts by Lord Manderly, I'd watch Needlework With Helaena or a camera devoted to cats catching rats all day long over dealing with Hugh's wife ever again.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that was not a fan of Hugh's wife. Chick sucks.

Reminded me way to much of Monica on Yellowstone.

By the way, how terrible a scout are you that you don't realize most of the people lying around aren't dead?
