Hell, Season 8 had two good episodes - E2 and E3. I mean, sure E2 made you think we were getting ready to say goodbye to a bunch of people in E3 and it means on rewatch it's disappointing. And E3 ends in such a pathetic way that it's also disappointing on rewatch. But I don't think that takes away how much they showed the two best sides of the show.
Episode 2 is peak GoT character development. Like all the other Nutter directed/written episodes it takes its time, it shows relatable characters, and the dialogue for the most part is strong. Episode 3 shows off the spectacle portion of the show in the way that Sapochnik does better than anyone. His DoP is the best one GoT have had, and even with the poor dark levels he hits his shots perfectly. The music, the editing, all of it oozes perfect audiovisual storytelling. Personally I would probably jizz my pants in every ten seconds if Nutter wrote the show and Sapochnik directed it.
