Trivia

While preparing for the shoot, director Miguel Sapochnik tried to find a longer battle sequence in cinema and couldn't. While writing the episode, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff intended it to be the longest battle sequence ever presented in a film or television. The closest Sapochnik found was the 40-minute Battle of Helm's Deep in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), which he studied to determine when and if the audience would get "battle fatigue" from too much meaningless action. Ironically, his conclusion was that "the less fighting you can have in a [specific] sequence, the better". See more »

Goofs

During Jon's stand-off with undead Viserion, he avoids a burst of dragon fire by hiding behind a small rock. However, this would result in Jon's death as Viserion's fire has been shown to be capable of burning through castle walls (and even through the Wall). See more »

The biggest middle finger to fans in HISTORY!
2 May 2019 | by benwilliams1999See all my reviews

Firstly, massive credit to the music composer for this episode, the music was absolutely perfect, but that was about it. The visuals were great! But only on second viewing when having playback in 4k whilst also having the brightness on maximum, nobody could see what was going on at all throughout the episode if it wasn't in 4k quality, which is a horrible experience. The writing was as if they got a 9 year old with no knowledge of game of thrones to write it, the army tactics were absolutely tragic and the amount of plot armour is actually unreal, screw the final battle against Cercie, just let Jon Snow run at the Lannister army all on his own, his plot armour will save him.

Summarising, this was a gigantic middle finger to every single fan.
