That's a fair point.

It's sitting at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, so this reviewer is definitely in the minority.
However, I think what he may be doing here is grading it on a Pixar scale. So, on the scale of Pixar movies, he's giving it a B- (which still seems severe but I can't judge that until I see the movie for myself). If so, my own…

I only needed to see that it was starring Mike Epps to know what this was and to avoid it.

Well, I will say this, I don't understand what Dorian thought the plan was. They are unable to pass their gift to anyone else, so just minions then. And what would he imagine these minions might do? Did he imagine seducing an army?

To that point, I was glad they addressed that in this episode when Kaetenay explained that all dark creatures are drawn to her and she to them. She's the reincarnation of a dark fertility goddess.

Hail Tommen, Least of the Lannisters, Last of His Name, Heeder of Naptime, Dodger of Mother

Appropriate, given that it was a dick-measuring moment.

Sadly, you are spot-on. It's terrible writing. Including the actress she saved being where she goes (how'd she get in there unseen, stumbling, dripping harbor water and blood?) and beating the waif, who should also be trained in fighting in pitch black and until now has shown herself to be Arya's superior in…

Well, remember, Dorian's a hedonist and murderous, selfish bastard. All it took for him was to get bored for that flick of the switch. She's now nothing to him but another thing that might offer some entertainment before his gaze turns on something else.

Vanessa's subtle expression changes in that last scene as Dracula drinks from her throat … we say it every week but seriously, Eva Green is putting in masterclass work.

I feel like HBO told the writers that this was the penultimate episode because they are at breakneck narrative speed right now, wrapping up storylines and moving characters on paths to end up either in the battle for King's Landing or the battle for Winterfell which is just a prelude to the Winter War.
And we see that…

That's a good point, but even striking that bit. Um, no … no cookies for Tommen.

Super-disappointed in how Hecate went out. That wound didn't look fatal. Did she take more than one?

He pretty much tells her that when she spits verse at him, so I think he's more like:
We both know this is an act but it works for my plans so whatevs.
Except, you're not fucking Tommen. Get on that.
Oh, and hey, your gran-gran?
She's a problem.
Just saying.
*smile*

Society lessons.

Oh wow, I like that. Just the kind of move he's proving very adept at.

lol, I'm not a book reader. But I've run into book spoilers. Which I made sure to avoid in my comment.

Unclear

Perhaps. I read somewhere that the BWB possibly killing people affiliated with The Seven may be foreshadowing for a character that some book readers have been clamoring for.

Just read a theory in the comments on another site suggesting that Arya was really Jaqen.
I don't buy it because it makes the last scene weird, where she's staggering through the streets dying & paranoid about every person. But still, I suppose it's possible. A second problem is, doesn't a face have to be…
