    This was an extremely boring episode that was basically just filler.

    I liked it. It's pacing--every episode can't be an epic one. Of course, proper pacing would be more palatable if they weren't squeezing the final season into 6 episodes...

    2 out of 6 episodes being reunion/goodbye episodes is pretty lame imo. These last 4 better be 1.5 hr cinematic masterpieces cause there are 2 wars to fight and a shit load of characters to kill off.

    Personally I didn’t give a shit if Arya lost her V card so that was about 7 min they could of done anything else with.

    I wonder what Arya’s “O face” looked like?

    But the first episode wasn’t an epic one either. Two slow episodes in a row.

    I've heard the whole 1.5 hours next week is nothing but the battle. You'll forget all about these last two episodes after all the deaths next week.

    This episode was a chance to say goodbye to everyone, because there’s going to be a lot of character deaths next episode.

    How are they overlooking all the dead bodies in the crypt, knowing full well the power the Night King has to raise the dead? Is it just because there is no other place?

    Spoiler alert: Everybody’s dead and it was all just a fever dream, and the sky really is blue because we all live in the eye of a blue-eyed giant named “Macomber.”

    I literally covered my own eyes when I saw her getting undressed... I couldn’t do it.

    The thing is, Sansa has really grown up. She looks like a full grown woman. Arya is tiny. She still looks child-like.

    Has Sansa had a sex scene? Plus when we were first introduced to Arya she was a little kid. Made the whole thing weird.

    I know that's going to play a part, but how in the world ... I mean, most of those bodies have to be completely decomposed by now, and they are entombed in stone. It shouldn't be the issue that I think it is going to turn out to be.

    Then life's weird. Time moves on. People grow. Things change. In a world of the walking dead and dragons, seemed to me pretty realistic portrayal of what might happen in a situation like that. I mean, this is what people do. And heck, in medieval times, a girl's first sexual experiences probably usually came much earlier than Arya's.

    If we keep looking at things through the lens of what it was when we first saw it, life's pretty boring and unrealistic. And kind of unfair to the people we expect never to grow and change.
