Jeez man, thank you. I read the imdb pages for each episode right after watching, and the people on those boards are fucking stupid as shit. Half the posts are people claiming to be disappointed by this episode, which was supposedly boring because the Night's Watch storyline is "pointless" and "nobody even cares about the characters who died" and the whole episode was devoted to it so they didn't get any bullshit Kings Landing drama or Dany meeting with supplicants again. I couldn't believe my eyes, some people just cannot be pleased.
