^^ Agreed.

This episode was a BEAST.
Since Sunday, I've watched this Episode 8... at least 3x... from start to finish.
This was definitely one of the VERY BEST episodes of the entire GoT series, in my book.
My shortlist of 'best episodes' also include:
- Ned's Death (season 1) / The Red Wedding (season 3) are tied for
'most shocking' episodes, so far.
- Battle at the Wall (season 4) / Hardhome (season 5) are tied for
'best big battles' so far.
- The Mountain vs The Viper (season 4) / Lady Brienne vs The Hound (season 4) are tied for
'best 1-on-1 fight scene', so far.
- Tywin's Death (season 4) / Battle of Blackwater (season 2) are tied for having Tyrion's
'most cheer-worthy' scenes, so far.
- Tyrions's Trial (season 4) / Chaos is a Ladder (season 3) / Khal Drogo Promises the Iron Throne to Dany (season 1) had the 3
'best speeches' in the show, so far.
Just my opinion.
