Damn, what an episode. It is hard to remember anything past the final battle, but what I also really liked is all the Starks coming together. They all have had crazy lengthy and sometimes boring story arcs, but now that they are coming back together, each in their final badass form, I see that the arcs had their purpose. Arya being on point with the fight scene, distracting enough to not notice Miss Sea Cow, much. Fourteen Faceless Men training scenes actually made me accept that she is now a master warrior/assassin.
It's nice that they have so much budget now, they no longer have to skip battles (like they did in season 1 with Tyrion getting knocked out, lol) and can make them look very good. The whole army on the march, the quickly formed battle lines, the Dothraki charge, and the dragon-napalm looked really good, and looked pretty sensible all things considered. Of course the Lannisters knew that the Dothraki army was on Dragonstone, you'd think they'd keep an eye on any armies crossing over, but hey, at least Dragonstone is very close to the battle location. The dragon in battle was not anti-climactic. The ballista situation was cool enough, I mean, it's a pretty goddamn big ballista. No dead dragons, but effectively demonstrating that they are not invincibru.
I am starting to get pretty hyped again, after getting really tired of season 5 with Stannis/Ramsay/Sparrows/Mereen. I am still very curious to see where the Littlefinger situation goes. He gets so much screen-time and he is obviously still working on something, but I don't really see what. Daenerys acts like Dorne does not exist anymore, so apparently those dumb women really were the head and the Dorne army is not going to do shit, classic Dorne army. Also, I have always been hoping to see the Dothraki get rekt by superior Westerosi military tradition and armour, but we probably will not. Three episodes remaining, but at least with the random thrill-ride pace they have set now, I am sure we will get to see some developments.
