I am literally shaking!!!

Wow, just F***ing wow!!!! This episode is without question the greatest Game of Thrones episode, and perhaps the greatest episode in TV history, surpassing Ozymandias from Breaking Bad.

From the beginning of this episode to the very last second, was heart pounding. The visual effects during the first 10 minuets were the greatest in TV, it was perfection, even some great Hollywood blockbusters couldn't create effects like this. Seeing Dany how she was here makes me so freaking excited to see her ride in on her dragons in the later seasons. Seeing her relationship with Tyrion unfold was a delight to see, and I believe they will make the best duo yet.

Now to the big stuff. I loved this part of the episode solely because it treated the battle with a serious notion, and not just good vs evil. I love Lord of the Rings, it is the best movie trilogy out there, but even those movies could not match the furiosity of this battle. It was bloody, it was gritty and extremely intense. Kit as Jon Snow gives a Golden Globe worthy nomination, and he really shines here as our hero.

This episode is directed to perfection, and I hope the director gets to do some future movies, because he built up suspension at the start, and kept it going until the very end.

Battle of the Bastards is the greatest Game of Thrones episode yet, it is also one of the most realistic battle scenes I have ever seen, giving the battle in Braveheart a run of its money. It was a non-stop roller coaster and I will simply say, that to everyone who does like it, go watch some MTV crap, because this has officially went down in TV history.

10/10
