May 9, 20169 yr Author I was worried that Ser Arthur Dayne would be disappointing but that fight was brilliant ^ it was brilliantly done/choreographed! The oathbreaker scene had me in stitches.. and then fearing for all humanity at the prize he brought out. :/ Ramsay has a new play thing :(
May 9, 20169 yr People no longer have to forget Rickon :D On the downside, he's in the shit and they killed Shaggydog (his wolf) :( Great episode in that it mostly made me happy that things are moving and they aren't killing off characters for the sake of killing them off anymore, and those we did lose, I'm happy to lose. The High Sparrow/Tommen scenes as well as the Varys scenes stood out, as well as the introduction of the new Lord Umber. And of course the Tower Of Joy scenes, intriguing that Ned didn't verbally berate Howland for saving him the way he did, I'd have expected him to, perhaps his slavish honour is a character trait he develops later in life. speculation but contains heavy spoilers if I'm right: looks like they're putting the pieces together for Cleganebowl to actually happen, especially given the Hound getting an 'I didn't see him die' this episode, so that the audience remembers him
May 9, 20169 yr The battle of the bast*rds looks like it will happen :D Jon Snow can leave the Night's Watch because he technically died as LC. What's the betting Rickon becomes the new reek before been killed by Ramsay? Sure as hell going to happen I reckon.
May 10, 20169 yr There's still a tempting theory about Rickon and how he's a gamble by the 'Great Northern Conspiracy' to gain trust before they overthrow Bolton. It justifies Umber's refusal to pledge fealty. It also suggests it wasn't Shaggydog's head but a fake. How it factors in Ramsey not murdering him outright I'm not sure, but it also seems unlikely that we'd spend all that time resurrecting Jon just to have the Boltons combine with the other Northern houses, defeat and kill Jon and the Wildlings. So there has to be more to that plot. Unless of course Ramsey is the 'Snow' that Melisandre saw in the fire and he's the hero of the story. Or would that be a step too far for GRR Martin? Also interesting that they've gone back to calling Ser Robert Strong, Gregor Clegane. Pretty much confirming what Iz refers to. Edited May 10, 20169 yr by Severin
May 16, 20169 yr Great episode! The ending was great and the battle of the bast*rds is fast approaching. Sansa is really coming into her own so far this season, I'm LOVING her.
May 16, 20169 yr I was genuinely moved when Sansa and Jon finally saw each other! Tormund and Brienne was hilarious, and was their a lingering look between Ed and Sansa? Additionally, it seems pretty much everyone is raising and army right now Edited May 16, 20169 yr by Severin
May 16, 20169 yr Littlefinger :D Was wondering when he'd show up, and as scheming as ever I see, both him and the Night Watch army would surely be a formidable force against the Boltons. Love the building up of things in Kings Landing as well (where things REALLY needed to pick up, the High Sparrow was entertaining last season, but I think I've had enough of him now), some big battles coming there. Seeing Jon & Sansa reunited was amazing, especially after the latter's been suffering for so long. And Dany's moment of triumph at the end of course was a show stealer. Nice to get an episode of HOPE for a change, even if it'll likely be dashed in some form sooner or later.
May 16, 20169 yr The start AND the end were amazing this episode - that sort of fiery ending is almost season-ending in its glory. They're really ramping up the pace this season and it's just showing how slow season 5 was in comparison. Now for the ENTIRE POPULATION OF ESSOS to descend on King's Landing :D (maybe, as soon as they get round to it, if they don't want to take their time about it and go to war against the Masters once more) Speaking of which, good to see them finally trying to do something about the High Sparrow over there. You couldn't fail to have a smile on your face to see Jon and Sansa back together, I certainly couldn't. And it definitely seems like Ramsey will have no shortage of problems even if he does manage to stave them off this episode - although I'm disappointed in Osha, that was way too obvious an attempt.
May 16, 20169 yr Some of the dialogue between Sansa and Jon at the start was truly the cheesiest and clunkiest I've EVER seen GOT. Their initial reunion was very cute though. All in all the best episode of the season by a mile. The hate I have for Ramsy....I hope he sees his bloody end at the end of the season, it's brilliant writing and acting because I find him so unlikable it's difficult to watch. That moment between himself and Tonks was so shocking and sad. I have a really bad feeling that they are tieing up sansa's story and that she'll die at the end of the season. hope I'm wrong though!
May 16, 20169 yr Some of the dialogue between Sansa and Jon at the start was truly the cheesiest and clunkiest I've EVER seen GOT. Their initial reunion was very cute though. That was the point though. It was meant to be awkward between them. They'd not seen each other in years and were never that close.
May 17, 20169 yr EASILY the best episode of the season so far. The Jon/Sansa reunion was a joy to watch + seeing everybody bowing down to Dany at the end was just :wub:
May 22, 20169 yr Episode 5 is out there btw What a spectacular and exciting final 15 minutes. gutted for the wolf and Hodor
May 22, 20169 yr Episode 5 is out there btw What a spectacular and exciting final 15 minutes. gutted for the wolf and Hodor Losing Summer hurt bad. That leaves only Ghost and Nymeria left.
May 22, 20169 yr The last 15 minutes were yet again, spectacular. SO TENSE. Cried more at the wolf dying than I did for Hodor, but I'm still ridiculously upset about that! :'( HOLD THE DOOR. HOLD THE DOOR.
May 23, 20169 yr my h e a r t it was so brilliantly done though, the emotional ending he really deserved as a character. i honestly thought he would be one to never be killed off though. so sadddd.
