This was an good episode. Was it Hardhome or Field of fire 2.0? No. But it still was pretty exciting. I've learned to not give much thought to the timing of events. It has actually helped me to imagine D&D with a big remote fastfowarding to the important parts of the story. I loved the dialogue between all of the "ice avengers". It was a good mix of humor and realistic interactions. I do feel they are creating forced drama with the Stark siblings but I am willing to give the writers a pass because of the good faith they have earned from past seasons. I'll admit that I might be a little biased because I feel I've become an Emilia defender, but I thought that her acting was superb this entire episode. I loved the range of emotions she displayed when Viserion went down. She went from confused, to in shock, to anger in a matter of seconds. She didn't have much time to focus on his death then because she was so focused on saving the squad, but she gave me enough to deeply feel her pain in that moment. Her best acting in seasons came in the boat scene though. She was heartbroken. Although she had tears, and her voice broke, she fought off breaking down in front of Jon several times. She came across as deeply defeated. I've always felt the chemistry from Kit and Emilia but tonight it was blazing. I think the main thing that took their chemistry to new heights was now Jon is completely on board. To me it seems that Dany was already there, but now the KITN wants a Boo in the North. I've never seen Kit give "bedroom eyes" so well. Also, the CG is still by far the best in television. It even tops many movies. It makes me wonder who else besides HBO can put this type of money into a tv show? Maybe Netflix.

Bravo!! So true. Emilia is greatly underrated. Glad to see her appreciated.

I am over the moon. I thought Emilia and Kit both did really good work here. Their chemistry was great. They did not disappoint. I think they both played the scenes as they should. They both showed their determination and insecurities in very different ways. She definitely started to warm up to him by the end of their last scene. You can tell that he hates this KOTN business. I don't see her as any more entitled than any of the previous five kings or Tywin. Really good scenes and well played by both.

I'm super stoked for the talented ladies of Got, especially Emilia. I'm also glad to see Kit break through.

Again I understand that her acting style is not for everyone. I want to be perfectly clear though, I meant no disrespect to the other beautiful and extremely talented actresses on the show. I think they are gorgeous. My personal opinion is that Emilia is the most attractive . Many of my friends feel the same. I also think that the media seems to perpetuate this idea. Does that make it true? Of course not. But I do think she is the perceived most beautiful, which carries with It a certain amount of backlash.

I totally agree with Avaleigh and ChaseMCP. The writing for Dany hasn't given her much to do as of late. A change of scenery should do wonders for EC. This definitely hasn't been her strongest year.

I recognize that I am in the minority here, but I actually think Emilia Clarke is one of the best actresses on the show. For me, she is the best at subtlety. She is really good at showing internal conflict, and reflection. I understand that some individuals genuinely don't like her acting. And that's fine. I honestly think that some however, are subconsciously biased against very attractive actresses. We might be telling ourselves "Hey she can't be pretty and be a good actress. She can't have it all." Again this doesn't apply to everyone. To a large degree good acting is subjective. In my opinion she is highly underrated and deserves the nomination .
