The episode was good overall but I have to talk about that warg sequence.
First, terrible CGI on it... I mean there's stuff from 10 years ago that's better CGI.
The chain.... it's all over the place. It's taut, then there's 10 feet of slack that's somehow in front of the warg and then it disappears and is taut again, and back behind the warg, as the warg charges into the(apparently brittle roots of a tree that's still living) and crashes through the tree roots shattering them. Then there's this magical amount of slack on the chain again that can be wrapped around the roots several times. There's just so much wrong with the physics of that chain.
Finally, the last elf trying to escape gets shot in the chest, from behind(with a boomerang arrow?) ... I guess so he can turn around all "dramatically" to be shot in the chest again.
I really hope the action sequences are handled/presented better than this in the rest of the series.
