Maybe it doesn't seem like, but I'm generally a tolerant person. I don't mind what anyone believes in as long as they don't force their truth on me. And I don't care who sleeps with whom, as long as I don't have to watch. But the plot development in this episode really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm used to the occasional northerner getting baptized, but now we've got Buddhism in the mix? What's next, Islam? I can hardly wait. ()
Preparing for the final battle four episodes before the season finale is not the most fortunate decision, and no alternative side plots can save it, especially not the one with the Buddha. The ending, on the other hand, is superb. Once again, inspired by GoT and equally shocking and authentic. ()
