this is the best defense of the episode I've read, although it doesn't "fix" the biggest issues I've personally always had with it. The battle tactics and
stuff don't bother me since they make plenty of sense.

something a lot of people are missing is that the

Yeah, but the average rating of what score the critic gives to the episode works out to 8.97 out of 10. Still very high. So like a lot of social media, most people like it, but a few more than usual critics were disappointed. Also, reading many of the negative reviews, well, they are quite poor in making a point. They read like glorified blogs of upset fans that their long-held fan theories didn't come true. Rotten Tomatoes should have higher standards of what site/critic reviews they accept.
I like this article from "Hollywood Reporter" which pretty much sums up what Game of Thrones is up against:

I was hoping for a base hit ending from D&D at least. I wasn’t putting that much importance in the ending for my appréciation of the show in general.
With what just happened they need a walk-out grand slam.
That episode may just have killed any rewatch in the future. Let’s hope for some more context in the last 4 hours

Honest question: Did "The Dark Knight Rises" lessen your enjoyment of "The Dark Knight" and "Batman Begins?"

I still can't wrap my head around how bad this episode was.

Yeah, that reminded me of why I stopped watching the show the first time early on (coming to it as a faithful ASOIAF book fan).

It's a great movie, rated higher than BB by critics and fans alike, so I don't see how it would.
I hesitated to post in Controversial opinion, and I still have issues with this last episode,
, but yet it's a joy to watch, there are so many great moments, and, that's the controversial part, it almost reminded me of Dunkirk in its use of suspens and horror (although different horror) to move an action story into a survival story. It reduces dialogue to the bare minimum even more than Dunkirk
, and except for that one theme, Dwajadi's music was much reminiscent of Zimmer's work with Nolan (Dunkirk and the Joker theme mostly). I guess you could name many other films than Dunkirk, but it definitely didn't feel like LOTR, nor did it try, and I think we hoped too much for a Helm's deep 2.0. It was never supposed to be that.
