[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9426414, member: 5889"] So on the one hand, this season was a VERY slow burn most of the time. Especially the Daemon stuff, though it turned out like I hoped and I do like his character arc, we could have gotten there like 2-3 episodes sooner. Ultimately this season will be remembered more as an advertisement for season 3 imo than standing on its own. But.... considering the massive issue I had with GOT season 8 (and season 7 in part) just moving things forward at light speed to the point of plot insanity....I welcome a slower and more thoughtful pace. I would prefer things move a LITTLE bit faster, but if that's the two speeds I'm offered, I'll take the slower pace everytime. If I were to nitpick a scene in this one, its the Gwain and Cole scene. Just because we have had this big secret the whole season, and its gets let out because Cole sniffs a piece of fabric..... and then they just have a talk about it and that's kind of it for now. Felt weird and anti-climatic, it was just there to give Cole something to do.....which ironically is to talk about how little he matters anymore. Actually even more funny (and I wonder if it was planned this way) if you watch the making of the episode after it aires....they don't mention Cole's scene at all. It does seem that Cole truly has been forgotten by those that matter ;) [/QUOTE]
