Largest pyrotechnic using real people ever done on film. TV or movie. 73 real stuntmen on fire. Pretty impressive stunt work. Like the show or not, hats off to the crew for that work.

The technical expertise of the show has been remarkable from the get-go. The locations, sets, art direction, special effects are easily movie caliber if not better. The rushed cheesy quality of TV epics of the past is nowhere to be seen here. The sound quality is also awesome if you're playing through a surround system with a subwoofer. In the episode where Euron Greyjoy rammed Yara's boat, I thought something had hit my house.

Last season's Battle of the Bastards was phenomenal for a television show. I felt like I was watching something that had been made for the large screen of a theater. This episode was also just terrific. I guess these guys really know how to put together a battle scene. The look on Jamie Lanister's face as he has a dragon coming in at him from one side and Dothraki berserkers running at him from the other side.

So, is Jamie dead?

I watched it the other day. The episode was leaked. The last 10 minutes were epic.....and I’m not a big fan.
