Just blown away by that one! House of Dragons and this show have gone in opposite directions. Started off enjoying HoD more, but this is far superior now.

Slow build-up, but a worthy payoff this episode.
Yeah, the final visual sequence was excellent. It didn't have the emotional tension for me of a scene like Battle of the Bastards from GoT, but visually it was extremely well done and on par with anything from HBO. I would say it was movie quality for lotr. The production quality for the whole episode was impressive too. It was finally an episode where I felt I could understand where all of Amazon's money went.
