    For me, the fourth episode was one of the best of the series. The battle that involved Jamie, Tyrion, and Danny was majestic and surreal from both a technical and narrative standpoint. Having Tyrion there to witness the battle between his new queen and his brother, regardless of how he got there, did the job of representing the conflict I would assume most viewers felt watching two important and well followed characters go at each other.  

    From a technical standpoint I was in awe of the look and feel of the battle. The lighting was stunning, looking like a painting from the renaissance period. I read that this episode broke the record for the number of stuntman simultaneously on fire for a television production. Both the cinematography and and direction were some of the best executed in the series. It's an episode I will need to watch several times to fully appreciate it. And that's not to neglect the reunion of the Stark siblings and the confrontation between Jon and Theon.  I'm not sure how one focuses on the episode's few logistical shortcomings and doesn't revel in how great this hour of television was. But again, that's just my opinion.  

    The battle scene is really impressive! A lot of great shots - for example, the very beginning when you just hear a Dothraki horde coming and then Drogon flies above them. I just watched how they filmed it and I must say, great job.

     

    And not just this battle, also Hardhome and Battle of bastards were really well filmed. Great picture, great sound, intense scenes... just amazing.

    Does anybody keep track of live collaborations between (ex) Guns N' Roses members in the last 20 years? Like Izzy Stradlin played with Velvet Revolver and GN'R here and there; Steven Adler joined Loaded on stage in 2013 and Slash/Duff in 2009; Duff played with GN'R in 2014; Axl sang Wild Horses and Dead Flowers with Gilby Clarke in 2000; etc.

    Which is the coolest?

    Here are few:

    My thoughts exactly! I think he's a technically better guitarist now, but I prefer his earlier playing a lot better, pre-2000 probably; Blues Ball, first Snakepit etc. It just did more for me, listening to that style of playing.

    Yep, my favorite era too.

    A lot of moments like this... a bit of sloppines, but playing slide with a fucking lighter!
