[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 5584567, member: 115"] I thought the Syrio scene was great, and then he did that trip move, which moved it straight into awesome. A beautifully choreographed fight, and left me wanting for a lot more. One nitpick: I like Arya/Syrio's similes, and I've been disappointed she hasn't said any of them. It wasn't a [I]huge[/I] deal, but I didn't like the Jon/Wight scene at all. I know part of it is because the wolves are expensive and supposedly difficult to work with. Still, in the book it's frantic desperation that makes Jon throw a mass of burning curtains. It's literally all he has left - swords failed, Ghost failed, nothing is working. I don't think it was written well or directed well. This was my one big issue with the episode as well. You can tell GRRM wrote this episode: a lot of awesome stuff, not a lot of cruft (such as Littlefinger monologuing). However, it's very much written like his books; that is, more as a series of vignettes rather than with the flow of a television series. Couple that with some of the possibly removed stuff regarding Arya and Sansa, and the sense of time passing is completely thrown off. [/QUOTE]
