And I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed by it. Sure the explosion, the lone ship, and all those other details were great. They definitely nailed that part, but it was disappointing to see that afterward it just looked like a few ships were burning, and fires were scattered here and there, and that was it. In the book the entire bay turned into hell itself during the battle, and that remained an important aspect of the battle for both sides. In fact, the whole reason Stannis had to continue his attack is because he was trapped between a chain and an inferno. Here it just seems like he's an idiot who doesn't care at all for lives or losses.

The final version of the episode was apparently significantly rewritten by the producers.

Hey, the chain! Did they mention it at all this year? I thought I recall someone asking me about it

Yeah, but he didn't even come into the equation in the books. He was a mere playing piece

I liked this episode, but the battles were confusing and kind of a let-down.

I haven't read the books, and the whole ending was quite a confusing sequence.

But we, as viewers, are not soldiers; we're more like historians. Or gods, if you prefer.

You're right, but I simply saw it as a way to work with their tight budget
