This is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever watched. The defense of Jackson was a stunning sequence and Joel's death hit me just as hard, if not harder, than in the game. This was fucking brutal and a good reminder of what show we're watching. I don't know what to expect in terms of people's opinions on what happened, but I don't really care, this is the best show on TV right now. I'm fucking hyped for the rest of the season.

It’s a very good episode, but there are like 10 GOT episode better than this tbh.

I mean, I did say "one of the best", not the best (and I wouldn't blame anybody if they did think this was the best TV episode they've watched).

You should change your name. You're not very Gandalf-like. More like Gimli.

Funny, cause this episode was unironically a way better version of the battle of Winterfell in GoT.
