Are you satisfied with... (full Game of Thrones spoilers)

To see this army defeated first time up was extremely disappointing.

I'll say yes, but with a caveat. For this show that we have, i'm pretty ok with it. I have long stopped expecting good writing or any sort of consistency, and have been enjoying the spectacle and the feels. In that regard, the whole episode and also the ending delivered in spades.

Now, if the show had kept the same quality and world/character consistency from the earlier seasons and this happened, that would be a no.

As it is, i don't think Ninja Arya was out of left field at all.

The ending was fine, it was the complete boneheadedness of the rest of the episode that kinda grated on me. It was super fun though.

I'm not going to fight anyone salty about the show as an adaption. I've been there; there's a good chance anyone who's consumed stuff that's been adapted has. It seems like the books have a much smarter story going on and one day I will read them myself to find out.

I think the episode is terrific in terms of spectacle and pace is sensational and that the music from Ramin Djawadi and co. is absolutely breathtaking. My satisfaction with the show depends on what happens next.
