Gotta feel for Theon but. No chance of ball-clipping revenge now

That cavalry battle was so brutal and real looking. You'd imagine it would be absolute carnage and horses smashing into each other, just as they had it. Incredible viewing.

Davos is 100% not oblivious. The ending shot was essentially him starting at The Red Woman so some shit is going to go down.

My memory fails me, why wasn't he there? Was he at Castle Black at that point?

Yeah I fully expect him to shove her off the tower or something. My point was how could he have not known (or at least asked) in all the time before he found the toy at the spot where she was burned

If you like the battle scene then this video is definitely worth watching. Just nuts

Also correct me if I'm wrong but is that the giants done? Could have sworn it was mentioned that Wun Wun was the last of his kind.

Don't know how the fuck Jon snow survived all that:lol:

The Red Woman will no doubt say it was his fate. The director made is as obvious as possible to show that no matter what, nothing could hurt him.

I recall that as well.

IIRC, 3 giants have been in the show, the two under mance, who mance says one is the last of a royal bloodline, they both die at Castle Black, and the 1 from Hardhome. Can their be a giant who doesnt fucking die.

That Phalanx-eqsue shield formation was epic.

IGN gave the ep a 10.

I still think Littlefinger is gonna fuck the Starks up.

Agree 100%, my thoughts during it were holy fuck war is terrible. That Stampede over Jon was spot on too.

Did anyone else catch Tyrion's foreshadowing regarding the wildfire? KL is gonna go up in flames next ep I think.

Logical inconsistencies inside, I enjoyed that episode. It was VERY well directed - that long shot of Jon ducking in and out of combat was intense. The cavalry charge impact was also brutal.

Wouldn't go far as to say it's the best we've seen in the show, I'd rate Hardhome better (incidentally directed by the same guy, who thankfully seems to be very adept at the long take).

Some trivia...

Wun Wun is played by Ian Whyte AKA The Mountain 2.0

Sansa , going to become the red hair Queen Elizabeth

littlefinger going to be spymaster Francis Walsingham

they just might have sex togther, not sure if Elizabeth and Walsingham did

Everything this season has been predictable. Ramsay died too easily and too stupidly.

Holy fucking shit. Jaime is at the twins in the preview.

[spoiler]He's going to recognize Arya![/spoiler]

That was just another example of Robb holding everyone else to a higher standard than himself and blaming others for his mistakes. He wanted to draw the Mountain out but didn't tell Edmure of his plan or desired endstate and got sad because Edmure lacked the psychic abilities to know what he wanted. Give clear orders with a well defined mission, purpose, method and endstate and these problems will be avoided. Deserved the red wedding for that alone.

That was basically a moment of 'dear reader, just reminding you that there's still that whole fuck tonne of highly explosive stuff all under Kings Landing, including where Cersei's trial will be held ;)'

That and the comments the Master made last ep.

Cersei has made the comments about burning cities to the ground numerous times throughout the series.

Saw a really good description for the differences in how Jon and Sansa go about things. They're now playing two completely different games, Sansa is still playing the smaller Game of Thrones while Jon has moved onto the bigger and more significant War of Ice and Fire

they could hardly have telegraphed it any more. makes me think it wont happen.

Good episode. The Battle of Mereen was something I enjoyed more.

For the Battle of the Bastards, I found it disappointing that Ramsay had the entire trap laid out and a better plan which played out but lost because of an 11th hour Vale charge. He controlled Moat Catlin and should have known...

The ending was satisfying though. Makes for an interesting finale which is going to go for 70 odd mins :)

Yeh you'd think he would have sentries with ravens about incase a massive force would be mobilizing anywhere near Winterfell lol.

Nah Littlefinger is in love with Sansa because she reminds him of her mother who he had a daily wank to. Would not surprise me if they end up getting married and then Sansa does something stupid which gets a lot of people killed as per usual

The teleporter has been doing overtime again.

Fairly sure D&D or one of the writers explained how the whole time taken to travel places works and it's much like it is in the books with events not necessarily all happening at the same time and take place over different lengths of time.

So while we saw Arya leave Braavos last week in terms of the show, she may have left Braavos weeks ago in terms of time in the actual world. The same goes for Theon and Yara's trip to Meereen.

Fair enough, it is just a certain Samwell Tarly seems to have been travelling to the citadel for an awfully long time. How is he going to learn anything and then get back to wall in time to help anybody with anything?

Arya returns to winterfell, ruled by Starks as it was when she left and thinks "fuck you had it easy".
