This episode is one hell of an experience. In fact, it's Seven Hells of an experience. It is RIDICULOUSLY intense. It's nail-biting, it's terrifying, it's thrilling; it'll have you cheering, and it'll have you in agony. And above all else, it'll give you about seven heart-attacks.

This is a completely visceral episode, and it makes you feel everything in it. Every death, every swing and slash and hack of dragonglass, every breath of dragonfire, every chase, every near miss, every death. It hurts, and you live it. Is an episode that almost kills you really a good thing? Weirdly, yes.
