I wasn't expecting a big budget movie's kind of battle scene that goes on for 15+ minutes, but not one frame? Seriously? I was pretty disappointed with this episode. If they don't bother to do any battle scenes for the entire series, it's going to be pretty damned fail.
I haven't chimed in about the show in a long while, but I have to say I was expecting a bit more. Everything feels rushed. And so much is left out. The beheading scene fell flat too because IIRC there was a lot more build up and false foreshadowing that Ned would be pardoned if he confessed. In the show, you really expect the treacherous turn much more, so the scene just didn't deliver nearly like how the book did.
I still like the show overall but, damn, it could be so much better.
