Great episode! And yeah why wouldn't Rickon zigzag? Or Ramsey put an arrow through Jon Snow since he was basically at an identical yardage? Cocky SOB
I was expecting Tormund to get killed. Glad he went savage on that traitor though.
It was a stupid question. Ramsey bullseyed a giant and (in show logic) is basically incredible at everything. Rickon could have gone full ninja gaiden on that field and it didn't matter. Ramsey was putting an arrow through his heart after drawing out Jon Snow based on his innate loyalty and heart.
Try to keep up.
If I recall correctly, HBO likes to dote that they spent over ten million on each episode this season, but that's averaged over the entire season. This episode was over thirty million, I believe.Has anyone heard how much the production for this episode cost? The battle scene was just incredible. Esp when the two sides met in the middle around Jon. Amazing.
Some thoughts:
- Who now runs Winterfell? Jon or Sansa? The likeliest scenario is that Jon tries and Sansa undermines him at every turn. My favorite undead character just cannot get a break. Sansa is going to be trouble, especially with Littlefinger's claws sunk deep.
- What happens in the North? It seems like the inertia of removing the Boltons leaves a vacuum. Do the Starks just wait around until the white walkers become too obvious to ignore?
Next week will be some set up for next season, wrapping up kings landing story, and a cliff hanger reveal. Either Stoneheart or Jon's parentage.
I guess they could say she was resurrected shortly after and she's been around for a while now? I'm just wondering what is going to happen at the Frey wedding. It would be the best place to reveal her if they're going to do it.Pretty much.
I hope it isn't Stoneheart. The Red Wedding was years ago. Are they going to find her body preserved in a bog or something?
That was the gift he gave to stannus daughter, wasn't it?What was the significance of the elk carving that Davos found while heading out to take his pre-battle dump?
It was found on the wood left from a sacrificial pyre. It's the carving Davos made for Shireen when they were separated during Stannis' campaign.What was the significance of the elk carving that Davos found while heading out to take his pre-battle dump?
That's true. Didn't think of that. The stoneheart stuff is probably done then.Well in the books, Beric gave his life for LSH so the fact that he showed up last episode would indicate that anything to do with LSH would be current.
Yeah, makes no sense that he wouldn't have some kind of weapon.Or at least give him a giant log to swing around. nah. Just let this hulking giant fight with his bare hands....
Resurrected corpse of Catelyn Stark.Yeah, makes no sense that he wouldn't have some kind of weapon.
Who is this lady Stoneheart everyone keeps mentioning??

One of the only good decisions that came out of deviating from the books/relying on their own pen instead of GRRM's. I don't think she'd translate well to television, and you could have had Jaime's redemption arc with her absent (if they hadn't just butchered that by making him Cersei's fucboi).GRRM himself said at Balticon that LSH was cut from the show. That's pretty definitive proof that she's not showing up. Ever.
Lovely.I think they do more to trim the cast next week than in any episode in the show's history. My WAG/Informed by spoilers is these characters all die:
1. Tommen
2. High Sparrow
3. Septa Unella
4. Loras Tyrell
5. Margaery Tyrell
6. Mace Tyrell
7. Lancel Lannister
8. Kevan Lannister
9. Grand Maester Pycelle
10. Walder Frey
11. Black Walder
12. Lame Lothar
