Goofs

(At 00:22:48) When Archmaester Ebrose puts the message from Winterfell on the table, it rolls up with the writing on the inside of the roll and comes to rest with the back of the scroll against the table. The camera then cuts to a closeup of the scroll on its edge with the writing clearly visible.

Is this right decision to go North

I can't say that this episode is one of my favorite episodes but yes I can't say that it is one of the worst episodes. It's something that took the story a little further. There are some new twists in this story that the viewers may not have been expecting in any way. Evidence is needed to determine if a monster really exists or to let people know. Finding evidence requires courage in such a horrible place. The story of this courage is narrated in this episode. When one's family has moved far away from one's homeland by mistake, then many years later one has to come back to that place and stand in front of one of the members of the family. That courage is spoken of in this episode. And when it comes to acting, everyone's performance in this episode has been really great from all the other episodes. The directors and writers have done a great job and have been shooting in some great locations.
