HBO has, up until now, masterfully captured the essence of A Song of Ice and Fire on screen. This episode was no exception right up until the end. Content aside, the editing of the final seconds of footage is completely infuriating. It breaks immersion and totally ruins the episode. I recommend watching the final seconds of the show on mute as it will be a much more enjoyable experience. The audio sounds like it was edited by a 10 year old who wanted to put his favourite song in the show so everyone would know how cool it was. The song was actually a good choice and the connection to the start of the episode was a nice touch. Cutting off the final pieces of dialogue however was an amateur mistake that was a fire-able offence.
