how much it moved you
Read from 27 comments — 9 said when.
The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 9 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

- gold above

- tension rail
- how much was still unresolved
- grey haze
- how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

“And right at the moment that the music climaxes, Arya screams and her scream pierces through, the music abruptly ends, and we’re back into the sound world of the character’s action during the NK’s final moments. As far as filmmaking goes, it really doesn’t get much better than that. It’s exquisite.”

“this whole over-arching WW plotline ending so suddenly, without further insight into their origins and motives, was a massive kick in the nuts”
