I agree with the first paragraph, it's pretty much how I feel, even if my wording might have led to a different interpretation.
About the whole Sansa versus Cersei thing... it's not that I wanted Sansa to kill Cersei or anything like that, as I know other people were hoping for. I was just hoping there would be at least some sort of conversation between them. A scene were Cersei could appreciate Sansa's development and how far she has come. We get the conversation about the little bird from The Hound, but it would have been more meaningful from Cersei... both Sansa and her are heavily linked characters, and having their relationship arch close with a scene between them would have been nice imo.
Fair enough. That wouldn't have bothered me at all and it could have been a rewarding scene. Earlier on I thought Cersei would try and pincer attack the north, catching them off guard immediately after they'd defeated the walkers and then we could have had a scene like that. I understand why they went the other route though, can't have Daenerys turn into a monster killing civilians if they're not in the south and it doesn't make much sense to travel south, when the north already have a general leading them and she dislikes Daenerys.
I imagine she'd still be dismissive of Sansa regardless, seems that's how she treats everyone, but you're right, it could have been good and it would have been a nice close to their arc.

Unfortunately it's not just this forum.
Pretty sure I've had the same argument about the dragon multiple fucking times. Including here after the episode aired.
Also I rewatched the NK death and the army opens up to let the NK in and is still open when Theon rushes him. After that all the camera angles kind of suck and it's really hard to tell if they're is an opening or not.
I'll just assume they didn't close ranks behind the NK because Arya got in, but it's speculation to make that scene make sense.
It's painful that the more popular the show, the more difficult sensible conversation becomes.
Glad you rewatched it, I plan on doing that next week, but I want to wait until everything's finished. Even if we can give them the benefit of the doubt and make sense of it, I wish they had gone out of their way to make sense of exactly how Arya was capable of putting herself in that position. Like I've said before, had they used Bran in a way where he was distracting a few different wights/walkers at the perfect moment, so that Arya could sneak in a little bit closer undetected, it would have been a better scene. Them not showing wtf Bran was doing bothers me a lot. Not that I expected him to be a huge help in the battle, but the whole "I'm going now" bit seemed important and for it to just be nothing, was a letdown for me.
EE: And for the second time, why the fuck are people looking up spoilers for something that's ending in a few days? Why would anyone go searching for that, or why would anyone continue to read something that could possible be a spoiler? I get why people like DJ do, they can't follow the show to begin with and want to feel superior for a few seconds, but come the fuck on people.
