[QUOTE="Richard Channing, post: 163089, member: 10"] I feel the same. Although of course parts of the episode were awesome there was something a little anti-climactic about it. Maybe it's cause expectations were so high, it would be hard to live up to them. But also I think they set the bar really high with the battle of Winterfell, it was so much more thrilling, tense and exciting. I can't put my finger on exactly how or why this episode didn't seem to quite hit the right note. It was still enjoyable, and the scale of it and the work that went into it was often jaw-dropping, but I feel like it should have been better. It certainly was. I did like the moment between Jamie and Cersei but it should have been a much more epic death. Actually before the episode I had envisioned Cersei's death to be not unlike the hound's. Falling from her tower either on fire or into fire. Perhaps it should have been Jamie and Cersei falling to their death in that scene rather than the Mountain and the Hound. They deserved something more memorable and spectacular than what they got. Although I guess there is a certain poetic justice to Cersei dying crushed under a falling building considering how she blew up the sept to kill Marjorie, the high Sparrow and countless other people.
