[Spoilers] Episode 3 was a red herring.

Hear me out. HBO marketing has been hyping up episode 3 for months.... weeks of night shootings, longest battle ever filmed, bigger than Helms Deep. This was a marketing misdirect. Episode 5 is going to be the bat shit crazy battle (same director). Just like Hardhome hit us out of left field Ep 5 is going to do the same. Mark my word.
