re: Was anyone else disappointed with GoT's last episode "Home"? (Spoilers)

So I've had a week to digest and I agree to an extent that it was disappointing but I will say that I think I'm just being nitpicky. So I kinda agree? I guess? My first viewing I loved it. But now I'm realizing that part of that is just my 6 year anticipation of Jon resurrecting and having that confirmed for me finally. It was an emotional payoff because of my investment in Jon not artistic. Mel just saying some words and cutting a little hair was lazy in my opinion. Why not have her need to drink his blood or sacrifice a wolf. I mean something. Make it look a little harder than muttering some words. That by itself is causing Hodors to think anyone could have been resurrected easily so why weren't they? I also think Jon just opening his eyes like that was unoriginal. They could have played that to better dramatic effect in numerous different ways. Cut away at the last second to Ghost, the viewer thinks he's dead for sure. Then Ghost's head pops up and you only hear Jon's voice saying "Davos? Where am I?" cut to black. But I think it's all nitpicking. It was still a great payoff.
