The night is dark and full of terrors.

I rate this episode 10/10
I know it doesn't start for another 25 minutes. But still, 10/10.

Winter has Come

Zemuppet · 17-07-2017 02:05AM

Off to a great start already

laugh · 17-07-2017 02:06AM

Oh nice.

Zemuppet · 17-07-2017 02:12AM

I see Lyanna Mormont hasn't lost her charm in the off-season.

RobbingBandit · 17-07-2017 02:45AM

Get him Arya get him please

PTH2009 · 17-07-2017 03:06AM

8/10 for that episode

Can't wait for next week

RobbingBandit · 17-07-2017 03:11AM

Alys Karstark a pivotal book character weirdly used, Nice Cameo towards the end, made me jump as much as Sam did.

ZeitgeistGlee · 17-07-2017 03:12AM

Bit too much set-up for my tastes when we're not getting full seasons but a solid episode nonetheless, lots of nice little bits of character development. 7.5-8/10

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 17-07-2017 03:21AM

So glad to have it back. I forgot how much I missed these characters.

rawn · 17-07-2017 03:25AM

Those guys Arya met seem really nice. RIP

RobbingBandit · 17-07-2017 03:32AM

Arya is all business, the whole faceless man thing in the books is to remain anonymous she hasn't grasped that part all too well as of yet, when I heard the song I thought ah great Tom O'Seven, Jebus the Twins feast was epic, can't see it being that easy in the book, rather she will seduce him I think, so glad it's back my gods the wait has been tough.

She rejected the Faceless and kept her identity. That's the point. She refused to become no one. She used them for the training... She's a stone cold, trained assassin, but she's Arya Stark all the same.

Arya has unfinished business, the Hound scenes made me sad, Wun Wun scared the ****e out of me, this is gonna be the best tv show ever this season. I'm trying to place the Archmeister know I've seen him somewhere.

Didn't Wun Wun die at the battle of the bastards? So he's past the wall, probably just a random giant.

Also the Archmeister is Jim Broadbent!

Was that the AM?
Or just a random M?

RobbingBandit · 17-07-2017 04:16AM

It was Wun Wun as far as I could see. Knew I recognised the Archmeister thanks for that.

Sam asked him permission to visit the restricted part of the library calling him Archmeister

But then how did Wun Wun's dead body become a wight and then get back over the wall to the army?

RobbingBandit · 17-07-2017 04:21AM

It was a Bran vision may not have happened yet

Crow92 · 17-07-2017 04:23AM

Yea good point, forgot he could see into the future!

EagererBeaver · 17-07-2017 06:38AM

Decent but as mentioned, we're on a relatively quick countdown to the finale so could do with the pace picking up.

Nearly threw my breakfast at the TV when Sheeran turned up.

duffysfarm · 17-07-2017 06:47AM

Didn't catch who this was - who was it?
