I was more viscerally affected by that episode than endgame, which I enjoyed but thought also played it safe for the most part, and that's why I have to give them some props for that episode. You can't get much literally and figuratively darker than that. No one here was not uncomfortable watching the dothraki get snuffled out and a tsunami of dead come pouring out of the darkness at the heroes. Never seen anything like it, and I'm glad I did. But alas, people are going to overlook those moments to fulfill their agenda of dissatisfaction if that's their filter for how they view things. You can either look for fun (it's entertainment after all), or look for every which way people slaving away for 55 nights to bring this to your screen didn't align with every specific thing you imagined.

To each their own I suppose.
Yes, to each their own, but if you don’t feel exactly the way I do, then you’re just a whiner who likes to complain.
