I was ready to DRAG this season to the pits of hell. 8 episodes of literally NOTHING, bad writing, cringy scenes, no action whatsoever. Then came Episode 9 and slayed my entire existence. BY FAR the best episode of the entire show. The Dany scene was EPIC. EPIC. EPIC. I got chills all over my bodies. They did an AMAZING job with the CGI. The dragons seemed so real. The entire scene was just MAGICAL. And then the Battle. WHEEWWW LORD my heart was beating so fast. One of the most intense scenes in TV history. Phenomenally shot. Incredible scenes. We have been awaiting a battle like this for so many years and they did NOT disappoint.
Now I get why the rest of the season was bad. They saved their entire budget for this episode
Rightfully taking the #1 spot on IMDB.
'Battle of the Bastards' from Game Of Thrones, 'Ozymandias' from Breaking Bad and 'What did we do' from How To Get Away With Murder are the trinity as the best episodes on TV.
Game of Thrones ratings at record high: 23.3 million viewers
Quote:
U.S. viewership of the HBO fantasy hit have now surpassed 23 million viewers episode when all forms of viewing are counted (that’s originals, repeats, DVR and streaming).
These are the numbers that matter for HBO, not the live viewings one.
So for this season to be the biggest one in the shows history so far is a great sign.
Ratings have consistently risen with every season, a rare feat for a show of this popularity.

And has anyone else noticed that the show has elevated the profile of so many of its cast members?
Richard Madden, Sophie Turner, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington and probably some more are all over the cinemas right now.
Sure, they're not JLaw-level movie stars, but they're still successful at the big screen while also starring in the biggest TV show of the decade and are about to see a big pay raise for the final two seasons.
They've hit the jackpot
Just rewatched last episode again I slept on it at first, but the Jon/Sansa argument was great and 100% believable, they should both get Emmys (especially Sophie ) inb4 Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke are the only ppl to get nominated from the show.
Now I'm even MORE impatient for these next 3 days to pass since I rewatched the preview more closely. I wonder what Jon meant when he said they have a lot of enemies now... Didn't the north love the Starks? And even tho I'm not a Melisandre stan, I hope they don't kill her off next episode, for the simple fact that given all she's done (literally NONE of this would be possible without her), she at least deserves to see Jon
doing some Azor Ahai-ing against the Whitewalkers
. A fitting death would be her sacrificing herself in a high stakes battle against them or something... Especially since I really thot she would have had to sacrifice herself to bring Jon back in the first place. but I wouldn't be surprised if the writers decided to off her at Davos' hand, given how wildly unpopular she was by the end of last season (with good reason )

Not you dragging the first 5 episodes which were all AMAZING
Winterfell is our home. It's ours and Arya's and Bran's and Rickon's. Wherever they are, it belongs to our family. We have to fight for it.
"You will watch as my soldiers take turns raping your sister. You will watch as my dogs devour your wild little brother. Then I will spoon your eyes from their sockets and let my dogs do the rest. Come and see. Ramsay Bolton, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North."
The other things he did, ladies aren't supposed to talk about those things, but I imagine brothel keepers talk about them all the time. I can still feel it. I don't mean in my tender heart it still pains me so. I can still feel what he did in my body standing here right now.
No, but I do. Jon is every bit as much Ned Stark's son as Ramsay is Roose Bolton's. And there are also the Tullys. They're not Northern, but they will back us against the Boltons without question.
If Ramsay wins I’m not going back there alive. Do you understand me?
Your words will disappear. Your house will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear.

Starks and Targaryens, their power
I think Jon was talking about white walkers.

I'm sure Maisie is gonna benefit as well. Not surprised tbh, the cast is so talented. Kit improved so much!

Sansa and Daenerys would be dragged considering the amount of haters
