Building on the events of the last episode: Daenerys’ flight from Meereen on-board Drogon, Stannis’ child-sacrifice and Cersei’s incarceration this finale really sings.

After seven slow and tempestuous hours, the Game of Thrones wheel finally begins to turn.

Weiss and Benioff clearly learnt nothing from that episode in season four and they’ve gone and done it again.

As with episode one there’s an awful lot of exposition due to the vast number of storylines.
