Last night's episode of Game of Thrones was as epic as expected. While it was inevitably going to be slower paced than the Battle of Winterfell, it was still full of shocking moments like Missandei's beheading at the hand of Cersei Lannister and Jaime and Brienne finally getting down and dirty (sorry Tormund - I was rooting for you too).
However, not all fans are happy with the fourth episode of the final season.
These are Missandei's defiant final words:As far as they're concerned, the show is trying to tie up too many plot points at once and cramming events which would have previously taken episodes to unfold into a pretty short space of time. I mean, they do have a point...
In addition to the above, last night's episode also featured not one but two proposals, promises made then broken, a battle at sea, and a bloody dragon death.
In short, it was a bit much, and this has been completely reflected by fan reactions to episode four on Twitter.

It was all a bit much, albeit less dramatic than last week's episode, and the end really took fans by surprise:
The most stylish creep in Westeros:
I'm never getting over this tbh:
Check out the exciting preview for next week's episode:Now, all we can do is hope that we don't lose too many beloved characters in the Last War. But GoT being GoT, it's pretty much inevitable, so you might as well place your bets.
