Yeah, no idea either. That's why I asked if Winter brought the WW's or if the WW's brought the winter.
With the little info we have...Good point.
I don't think so since the long night devastated more than just the North. Plus, how many RPG games do we have where seasons change?
It's more than a minor inconvenience. Ya there isn't always undead walking around, but it's a huge amount of time where you can't grow food, and the weather is cold and miserable.

What they can do in post is quite amazing. Ppl dont realize how much lighting there is during "night/dark" scenes.
Perfect natural light only happens twice a day. Everything else needs to be artificial if i remwmbwr correctly.

And in that moment... Ramsay realized... he fucked up
If you're shooting outdoors in sun, you either need to film at the same time every day, or bring very bright lights with you to make sure the main lighting on characters' faces stays in the same place. You don't notice it so much with backgrounds, but if the lighting angle on faces jumps around from cut to cut, you notice it.

I think it's finally going to happen...Dany is making her way to Westeros by the end of next episode.
Unfortunately, I still think we're gonna have to wait some more for

When can we expect to see Jon Stark?

The harpy is the symbol of Mereen. It's like calling themselves the Sons of the Constitution, or the swords of Jesus, the soldiers of the cross, etc. Doesn't mean Jesus is their boss.

I think I heard somewhere that Young Ned was cast for Episode 10, and Bran appears there too. So... I don't think we'll have to wait too much.

I don't know why I care, but Sansa from Episode 9 still annoys me. Especially the part of her being grumpy that no one wanted her insight, though she wouldn't speak up to give it. I think it bugs me how much she claims to have known Ramsay and the games he plays. Did he ever play games with her that we saw? If anyone, Theon was the one he played crazy games with. Like releasing him just to capture him again. What he did to Sansa was straight up torture, but games?
I dunno. Just being weird...Maybe I don't remember some of it.

It's terrible for agriculture too. An all year long winter would definitely lead to famines and that's never good.
Wanna say there was a scene or two early in season 1 where they talked about the food reserves in King's Landing.

In the finale. He'll probably be legitimized somehow.

There is a part of me that hopes he remains a Snow. There's a beauty in not aligning himself with a house, even though he is a Stark, since he surely is going to represent everyone in the fight against the white walkers. Be they Stark, Lannister, whatever.
For god's sakes just stop pressing the button!

Am I the only one who wasn't very satisfied with Jon hopping on Ramsay and giving him a smackdown? The punches didn't feel like they had much weight to them, and it didn't give me much feeling. The ending with dogs though...dat was good.
This is when she was looking for her dragons, right before she found Khal Drogo and her son right? I totally forgot she was behind the wall.
Yeah he could make 'Snow' an honourable name, although I'm not sure how it would work considering every other bastard in the North gets that last name. It would be nice to see him build something for himself, especially considering the shift in politics happening right now with women taking charge.

Holy shit. 25 days of filming. That is insane for a TV show. God love Game of Thrones.

Damn they went in to make this battle.
This episode was really great. I love the way it was filmed, I loved the creativity in some of the scenes with the piles of bodies, the battle tactics, all of that stuff. It was pretty great stuff. Jon was a little lucky idiot with a bunch of plot armor but it made for a grand spectacle piece and one of the coolest battle scenes in the show.
Jon sure made a mess of things and that's fine and in character with his bullheaded stubbornness, but I hope his remaining men and the other characters bitch at him about this. He lead his army off plan, so perhaps he probably shouldn't be the one leading anymore, I dunno.
I still don't necessarily buy the writing for Sansa, seemingly for no reason, not telling Jon about the reinforcements. The show just didn't seem to give me a reason as to why she wouldn't tell him. I'm hoping I missed something here.
I'm hoping that in the next episode that features the Winterfell gang again, that they at least address some of this.

Sansa and Ramsay scene reminded me of this.
That's too good.

Damn good episode this week. Probably my favorite since the red wedding.
The battle scene was probably the best I've seen on a tv series.

Red Wedding, Hardhome, The Door, and Battle of the Bastards... top 4 for me.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the books or the show, but what happens if a bastard marries a woman of a noble house?
Let's take something random, like Jon marrying Dany. Would he legally become a Targaryen, or would he still keep his surname?

I felt weird how Sansa was talking to Jon as well. It feels off, like she is using him. Maybe I am taking it wrong. Like she didn't care about her brother, just defeating Ramsey. Why didn't she tell him about the troops and being snappy with him in the tent the night before.

There isn't a harpy. The slaver cities come from the Ghiscari empire whose symbol was the harpy. It's just a way of saying the sons of the harpy serve the masters and everything Slaver's Bay stands for.
She has trust issues. At least that is what the writers are trying to convey. They did so very, very poorly.
As for her being snappy, Jon was ignoring really good advice.
