Firstly I want you to ignore my rating. This is by no means a 10/10 episode nor a 5/10 like some think. I want to talk about the actual reviews here and ignore numbers.
Final season or not, this show has always been slow and about build-up. This is what we've been used to for the past five seasons along with the usual highs (could go on forever about how well the peaks hit after the build-up). Those highs are coming. Much like how episode 1 and 2 were building up the tension for the masterpiece in episode 3, we're definitely getting several other masterpieces after the 'calm before the storm' episodes we got the past couple weeks. I trust the writers and think that the mid-season cliffhanger will blow everyone away, and I think you should be patient enough and trust them too.
If were talking this episode alone then I thought it was slow but put well. The tension was there and maybe even better than Hit and Run for me.
