The crane shot when Jon* arrived was, I think, the biggest practical (rather than digital) bit.
Also, the Wolf Unit apparently wanted a piece of the bloody eye action.

If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Me, too.
I cheered when the one giant went down, and then I felt bad because there don't seem to be many of them left.
And now I realize that I was so caught up in watching that that I forgot to hydrate and didn't hear the dryer buzz. Good thing I wasn't actively trying to cook anything.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Kit's ankle was broken for most of last season. Like, the jump into the pool in the cave? That was a stunt double, due to him being unable to physically do it. He could "run" a few steps by the end of filming, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I lost track of the wolf--did they show anything after it tearing that Wildling's throat out.
Making Ygritte's last words what they were was more than cheesy. I had to roll my eyes.
The scythe was fucking kewl.
I hope whatisname gets properly shamed for hiding in the fridge.

I agree.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I do believe that's right from the book, FWIW.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I cheered when the one giant went down, and then I felt bad because there don't seem to be many of them left.
I was a bit sad about the giants, I have to admit.
The SCYTHE, wow. Nasty, but effective!
Ygritte getting one more "you know nothing" in before she died...eh, she's earned it.

The scythe was awesome.
Ygritte's last line - kind of inevitable, wasn't it?

As for Penny Dreadful - I hate Vanessa's backstory. Meh.
