I am confident that if they can produce a battle scene like they did in Battle of the b*****ds, then the battle scenes in this series are going to be amazing. This episode was needed to bring everything together from the last episode, get the army together at winterfel, get the iron banks army in kings landing, and continue to bring Jon and dany together. I have a feeling next week is going to be more of the same, as episode 3 is the long one and I am guessing shit will kick off then.
