When Theon kills Myranda and he and Sansa escape Winterfell, Sansa's gloves disappear in several shots only for them to appear again seconds later, although it is a fast-paced scene with no intervals.

User Reviews

make an appointment at the dentist your jaw will break

NO...SPOILERS .This is my first review and I will start by saying my rating of 10 is fully deserved.On the whole I have agreed with peoples ratings of game of thrones but presently a mere 9 rating is unworthy of such a compelling episode,(imagine every great Shakespearean play and Greek tragedy rolled in to one).numerous highly rated episodes have gained their high rating deservedly so with an epic crescendo,or one or two peaks and troughs.This one however reaches new heights with consistent quality as it reaches an apex from the start an doesn't dare to descend the mountain(no pun intended).To end I would say a great ending should not always overtake, in this instance great individual moments throughout the episode. Valar morghulis.
