brace yourselves, salt incoming

tbh, far less salty than i imagined. i literally disagree with almost nothing

small thing - the fake trial for arya was really silly, BUT i think the idea was to catch LF off guard, not just the viewer. give LF an inklimg of what's coming and the MF counterschemes.

in honesty, book-LF has a gigantic weakness in the form of sansa, too - if she had come out with the tears of lys/killed lysa story there, she could have fucked over LF real bad then, too. though we conveniently glazed over sansa being an accessory to murder by lying on LF's behalf to the lords of the vale in both cases but whatever.

the only thing about your rant i would "disagree" with is that i'd have a better overall rating, and more enthusiasm for the ending - the snow, the ice dragon (it breathes fire because of magic, obviously), the R+L=J (tyrion is a proxy for the viewer's unease with incest), and the sansa/arya scene at the end

i also feel like it needs to be said that no one flinching at a dragon with a 300 foot wingspan they're seeing for the first time, then getting shaken up by a single wight, is pretty ridiculous
