I know, I know, we've had shadow babies and dragons and unkillable mercenaries but for some reason I just can't buy the face and body morphing stuff. and maybe I've just missed something and she's actually slipping the skin over hers and putting on fat suits and walking around on platform shoes, but I just struggle with that particular form of magic. that's just me though, it was a great scene aside from that.

Sam gagging over a bowl of shit is more interesting than a shot of a CGI giant with blue eyes; call me when that giant is swinging a Dorneish elephant around.

and Ed Sheeran is Ed Sheeran.


my favorite episodes are the talky ones so I wasn't looking for a lot of action, and the hour felt like 20, but I was just hoping there'd be something there I didn't already expect to happen. Almost every GoT episode has some surprise or nugget of curiosity IMO but this was all (really well done!) table setting and that was kind of a bummer off last season's hit after hit after hit.


even last year's slow burn opener had that crazy reveal of Melisandre's true form at the end. man, season 6 was incredible.
