I enjoyed this episode. The ending with Hodor was good.
I'm a fan, I love it, but...
Unfortunately I have to say, if this was a major motion picture, most of the scenes would have found the cutting room floor.
The meeting with Varys and Kinvara was okay but does it move the plot along or just add more mystery to mystery? Why not just tell us what the voice in the flames said as the wizard threw his privates in the fire? How does her knowing the past prove that she's any better than Melisandre?
Now if Kinvara would have summoned the demon and ordered it to eat Varys and Tyrion, that would have been exciting. Also, if she is chosen by the Lord of Light...why not lock her in with the dragons and test her power under dragon fire? Bilbo did it.
I found the parting of Danaerys and Sir Jorah weak, drawn out and not very moving. Iain Glen is outstanding as always but I just didn't feel the love from Danaerys. There was 10 minutes wasted that could have been trimmed down to 1 minute.
I still don't understand the purpose of the old dude in the tree. Didn't he have any power? What will Bran do with his new power...that really isn't very powerful? Can he use it to control the minds of dragons? That would be cool.
There was also 10 minutes lost to Jon and Sansa considering a map. This scene should have been cut. The Greyjoys should have been cut too. The Spanish, desolated forests to create 130 ships for their Armada....how are the Greyjoys going to build 1,000 ships? Boo.
Why is the undead army waiting to attack? I think the ensemble cast is too stretched to the corners of the world.
All we really need is Danaerys riding a dragon to defeat the white walkers. At this point the rest is just filler. We don't need to see another scene of her coming of age and coming to power.
Green light means go, Yellow light means go faster....
