Bit of a mixed episode for me on the one hand.
Mad king flashbacks yay and prove Jaime told the truth, r.

I have to say, I'm baffled by the criticism. Never in the history of TV have we had a fantasy epic with a budget like this and the creative possibilities that current CGI provides. Have we become so jaded, that this bores us? What's a better fantasy series, if this one is so poor to the hurlers on the ditch?

I'm captivated by every moment of every episode. While the plot may have the odd predictable crowd pleaser, and the occasional weak progression, the writing is excellent and the actors are top notch. I was hooked from start to finish, as I have been since S01E01.

Found it strange that the reason Benjen went North was to search for White Walkers.... why the fook would you go searching for White Walkers?

I'm guessing Theon and [sister, feck... forgot her name!] reach their first, get Dany onside, and smash Euron & co when they arrive, take the ships and head over. I'm hoping it's soon but not holding my breath - ending the season on a long shot of the ships setting sail from Essos would give them massive hype coming into next season though, I would reckon far, far beyond anything that has ended a previous season (The Jon Snow thing died down after a few weeks, and many of us called that he was not dead before the credits finished rolling last year).


Another prediction: Sansa just met Jon at the Wall, and they're looking to push south to (among other things) get Rickon back. We know now that Bran is quickly heading back toward the wall on horseback with his long presumed dead uncle (who I think will refuse to so much as pass under The Wall's entrance way out of principle of his oath, which should be pretty emotionally built up). Finally, Arya is going to have to bail ASAP after she kills the girl with the very punchable face, and head to the safest place possible. Braavos to White Harbor which is just south of Winterfell is pretty easy to make it to (see map) and even if she goes in from the Fingers she can get there from the Vale now. We might be getting a big Stark family reunion, but my guess is they'll increasingly tease is at the back end of this season and have it happen early/mid next season.

The likelihood is if you found them, you wouldn't make it back to tell how many of them there were though.

Disappointed with The Mountain so far... have we seen him do anything bar hop some fella's head off a wall?

Can he even kill them? He has no dragonglass or Valerean?
The whole scene sucked TBH. Hodor must've holdoored for another hour and yer man turns up the very second he's needed and suddenly there's about 6 zombies. If they'd tried that at the end of last week's episode it would've been laughed at.
Don't get what Margery's up to myself. I don't see how it's clever at all to give the bible bashers more power than they already have. Jamie and co should have gone with plan A: chop the lot.
Dany should be mother of groundhogs instead of dragons.
Sam story still boring as hell. He got a sword. Couldn't care about Gilly or kid, I don't see what they have to do with anything.
Pretty poor IMO, but suffers from there being a fair bit to talk about last week.
