    Nah last nights episode as a whole did nothing for me, and if we're talking about the last sequence then the one shot from last season was waaaaaaaaaaay better for so many reasons

    That was a f---in' massacre. Regardless I fell asleep in the middle of this episode and had to rewatch it and that's not on me, that's on them.

    Their reactions at the end were a top three moment of the entire show so far tbh

    Maybe if I felt like the whole build up was earned in any way

    This season has fallen so flat for me

    I hear you. Still a pretty great finish though. The only TV scene I've seen since the one shot in the first season that I've gone back and re-watched.

    I do and it did, there just wasn't anything that had me wanting to go back for re-watches.

    Cersei had the scene of the season and that wasn't exactly fun to watch lol

    The battle was f---ing crazy, and the last shot of the season had me gutted

    And a bit non sensical...the one shot from last seaso, every f---ing time I watch, just works so well cause of the choreography it requires. Every detail was paid attention to

    If there's anything I especially like about this season, it's the mundane, convoluted nature of the scheme (something, something about deliberately polluting the land so that it could be resold to the federal government for the high-speed railway). Bird masks aside, the web of bureaucratic bs and jurisdictional disputes is how one imagines everyday evil succeeds and is somewhat refreshing after the supernatural undertones of last season, with Chinatown being the obvious precursor.

    For everyone confused on what the h--- is going on. I thought this was a nice summary of what we've learned so far.
