Is this one also shit quality as the last leaked one, or good?
If good

I've heard it's good but not great.
There's a 1080p, 1.9gb file up on BTN but the video quality is a little poorer than you'd think (because of the source) and the audio pitch is a little high.
Here are some screenshots:

I'll be waiting tbh, audio issues always annoy the fuck out of me.
I've just watched one that didn't have any audio issues as far as I can tell.
Just watched it and the one I had was barely any different from a regular download.
Watched the same one as Alan (I assume given he gave me the link) and it's pretty good. No audio issues whatsoever. The image felt just a notch worse than a regular, but the difference was small, so it might as well be confirmation bias.
Anyone else is welcome. I know a few folk who've already had things spoiled for them when not even looking for anything to do with Game of Thrones.
I'll take it too cheers.
If there's a risk of spoilers I'll take the link too if possible. Was going to wait but fuck it.
What exactly did the scroll say? I paused it but could only pick out the words on the middle of the scroll.
Never mind, found it.

Cheers for the link guys.
The two weeks wait after this is going to be tough I feel.
You're best off watching it now because there will definitely be arseholes plastering spoilers all over the shop in the run up to the official air date.
I saw a spoiler for it (albeit something you don't have to be a genius to have anticipated) the other day while I was on Youtube looking at cricket stuff. There's no escape.
This is just my reaction, no episode content, but I'll spoiler it anyway.

My spoiler actually contains spoilers so yeah, proceed with caution.

Pretty much agree with what you've said Adra, although I have a bigger problem with the overall plan, which I guess I can post spoiler free because I was saying this before watching the leaked one....
Why are they doing this? Why are they trying to convince Cersei now that all she has to offer is some gold? They've wiped her army out, I don't see what she's bringing to the table. If you want/need the gold so badly just go and fucking take it and then worry about the walkers afterwards.
I would assume that wildfire probably comes into play there? Also a bit of Tyrion struggling with the whole burning people thing and trying to "divert attention"? I don't know.
Be very careful with the spoilers. Anyone posting anything that spoils the episode before the actual air time will be subject to a ban, the length of which will be determined by however I feel at the time.
Can we post spoilers in Spoiler tags, John?
Just wait for the next episode to come out you spastics.

Better be another leak this week
I watched it in the week, but the zombie army seem somewhat less fearsome if five blokes (albeit good ones) can hold off and kill hundreds of them. Throw some cavalry and some dragons in and they could probably have just waited for them to invade and sent them packing in an afternoon.
Well I suppose the problem with the Zombie army is it can replenish pretty quickly, even on the battlefield maybe (?).
There's a difference between the White Walkers and the 'zombie army', too. The latter are reanimated corpses, so you can't actually kill them unless you burn them. It means every time you 'kill' one, they can be revived and join the ranks again. Plus any of yours that you lose will rise to fight you too. So short of burning them all, it's basically an army that you can't beat.
The White Walkers are presumably the original ones who were created by the Children of the Forest in the Age of Heroes. Ergo you'd think the entire thing is going to come down to trying to kill them, as it would seem they not only control the entire army but that its very existence is dependent on them.
Can't the Wraiths be killed with Valyrian steel and Dragonglass though?
Or is that just the White walkers?
The better bet would have been to torch the Iron Fleet, invade literally wherever, and then saunter over to the capital. Had they done that would't literally everybody have been on side other than the Lannisters and the mooks within the city walls? Regardless of how long it takes the capital to give in/starve to death, the rest of the country could set about preparing for the White Walkers and their drones.
That's just the White Walkers. It knocks down a wight etc., but even if you hack a limb off it'll still function separately (like that time a wight attacked Lord Commander Mormont in Castle Black - Jon hacked one of its arms off and it was still functioning). The only way to properly kill it (again) is to burn it.
The dragons that got from Dragonstone to Scotland in an afternoon (the less said about the raven the better) surely trump that.
I think you have to make an assumption that these things are truncated somewhat. We don't need to wait three episodes for things to happen just so that there appears to have been the passage of time.
Yeah but you have to then get the pacing right, which they don't.
I've been dining out on Ser Friendzone for years and will be stealing that one too.
Perhaps, but I think this was inevitable once the plots converged. Previously, you had about eight different locations where things were happening quite independently of each other, so you would drop off to other characters and then come back to a particular narrative. There's basically one plot now, and that has to lead to truncating the passage of time / pacing it differently otherwise nothing is going to happen for half the episode.
It's no different to something like the march of the Uruk-Hai to Helms Deep or the Ride of the Rohirrim to Minas Tirith in LOTR.
Anyway, Beric 'The Don' Dondarrion was the real star of that episode. I would rather they offed Jon Snow than him.
I don't consider myself a great intellect, but I would think even I, when faced with the task of going into a frozen wilderness to capture a undead horror alive, would come up with a better plan than - walk around plain as day until you stumble into said nightmarish abomination- put a bag on its head - ?????.
Some cool bits aside (flaming sword ftw), I found that a bit hollow. It's was largely stupid, for a start, and that whole Arya/Sansa feud was weird and contrived. Yet more scenes of characters telling Dragon Woman how wonderful she is, which surely, surely must lead to her going batshit soon.
I thought it was largely a load of old wank and the best actor in it was the Night's King, who is Marlo Stanfield level evil-cool (although he should have hired Steve Backley to help out by the looks of things).
I like how he has loads of identical redshirt lieutenants who look like frozen ageing rockers as well.
Whatever Finger is up to is a crock of shite, he's lost his touch.
I wonder if, now they have a dragon, the undead lads are going to fucking do something?
The Night's King must be able to do a fiendish sudoku in a matter of seconds by now.
'We wait here.'
'Until when?'
'Until the plot requires us.'
