Seems to me the killing of main characters slowed quite a bit once the show outpaced the books.  It became more of a TV show in that regard.  If we ever get another book it will be interesting to see if the killing starts again.

Thought it was ok. Darkness whether intended or not was annoying. Dont think it was as good as lotr battles. Dont even think it was as good as the battle of the ---daisies--- episode from the last series. And I'm still confused how the whole dothraki tribe gets killed in5 seconds yet 3 people with their backs to wall are still swinging their swords around after 30 minutes 

Still. Was watchable enough but not as good as I hoped it would be.
fallacy:
To me it was just trying to cover up the amount of CG they had to do with alot of darkness, blur and smoke. I thought the season 5 final battle was much better. It was still good I need to download the episode and watch it again. My parents invite everyone over for it, but it looked so dark and grey I am thinking there must be a problem with there TV; no way that it would be released looking like that.
schmerzkaufen:
Okay so the battle was full of nonsense, but the episode entertaining-enough.
If your brain's set in advance on "ok this is tv not a superproduction helmed by masters of the art either"

What annoys me is that they didn't keep the whole white walkers and night king deal for the end, like something that would end the 'game' in an unexpected earth-shattering fashion.
Nope, we waited because "winter is coming", but we get "Cersei is still standing"  :-\
I would rather have had the whole game disturbed by a massive invasion of the seven kindoms and a much more desperate situation overall.

It's a lot easier to kill of characters in a book because you don't have to deal with hiring actors, contracts, etc.

I stopped watching the show years ago when it ran out of book material and became essentially a ---smurfy--- fanfiction. I'm having my doubts that the books will ever conclude though.
