YO KIT CUT HIS HAIR ITS OVER
Perhaps they swapped Brienne's AFFC cliffhanger with Stannis. I want to believe.
I'm slightly disappointed that we didn't see Lady Stoneheart tonight after all. I know that there was some speculation on that based on the title of the episode, but I understand why it wouldn't have worked by this point.
Nah, I don't think that they would have sowed the seeds with Melly Sanders coming back to Castle Black if that were the case. Also, with the further establishment of the White Walkers this season, I really doubt that they're going to cut out the only important character on the Wall.

Any major book spoils?
Na... He shaves it when he gets resurrected and carves Thorne's name across his forehead for effect.

That's just D&D tying up the Baratheons in the worst possible way.
But all the warging foreshadowing suggests otherwise.
Still, I actually like this. Probably also explains partially why they decided to forego Stoneheart (for now).

So they sacrifice Shireen to get rid of the snow, but keep Reek jumping off the walls of Winterfell. But instead of jumping into a deep huge ass pile of snow, they jump into what looked like a small pile of snow.
Dany doesn't see or hear what I assume was a 20k+ khalasar. Sansa lights a candle right after Brienne leaves. Ellaria kills in such an easy fashion that I wonder why that wasn't her plan all along, instead of whatever she tried to do with the Sand Snakes. Jon gets stabbed for...what exactly.
And these guys will be winging S6. Good luck.

Seriously.
When I was a kid, I jumped maybe 6 feet off of a wooden playset into huge snowbank. Well, let me tell you what, you're going to sink down into that snow and when that snow is packed down (like after it starts melting, like the show!) its going to be pretty damn hard. I broke my ankle doing that.
And I'm supposed to believe Theon and Sansa didn't just go splat jumping about 50 to 100 feet into a bunch of slushy snow? Myranda had a better chance of surviving her fall onto the stone than Theon and Sansa would jumping off the walls of Winterfell on the show.

even then you could have heard something prior to them being literally right the fuck next to you. That many horses running that fucking fast and men going HIYAAAAAAAAA HIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA would've alerted people 2 miles away.
Yup, I agree.
Run. Ruuuuuuuuuun.
Ned's story was about the dangers of being honorable when NO ONE ELSE is.
Stannis' was about not realized that burning your daughter alive in front of your whole army because a hot redhead told you to will have consequences.
Yes. No. Maybe.
You should stop watching the show or stop caring about spoilers.
The worst thing that I think is going to happen is that Martin is going to get so concerned about what they are going to do with the story he foregoes writing the next two books in an attempt to salvage the train wreck that D&D seem to be hurtling towards without any safety.
Doran is pretty pimp though. He's about the only part of the Dorne plot I liked.

Absolute garbage. Maybe this thread has ruined me but that was by far the worst episode of the whole series:
- Stannis loses everything in 10 minutes of show time. Forgets how to strategy. Goes out like a chump
- Someone needs to gif that Myranda fall, holy shit lol. Reek turning into Theon out of nowhere, way to ruin the best storyline of book 5 D&D. Also if Stannis melted the snow, what did they fall into?
- Dorne. Yea. At least something happened!
- Look how eeevvvillll Meryn Trant is. Good thing they had Arya torture him first!
- I was going to say The Walk was good but then you guys mentioned they CGI's Lena's head? Not attractive enough to show naked D&D? ZombieMountain looked hilarious.
- "Hey btw can I go to Oldtown plz."
- Jon's death was completely unearned, holy shit. At least it ended like I wanted it to!

Hey, at least What's-Her-Face got an on-screen death.
Yikes.
I've got better hopes for the next season, though. As awful as S5 was at parts, most of the shittiness came from D&D's attempt to reconcile the book plotlines with their own suggestions. Now that all bets are off, the story might be somewhat more believable. Some of D&D's changes haven't been completely awful, so I'm holding out that maybe (just maybe!) their creative freedom will help the show.
Heh. Feels like forever since we last time we saw Ghost lol. Thought they would had hinted at it a bit more but nah straight to a cliffhanger.
That's not true though. Most people liked how it ended

Maybe Stannis isn't dead. I hope he's not, but the show had done a shitty job with him for the most part so we'll see. And I found it funny how Brienne still referred to Renly as the true king. His claim was the shittiest of all.
Not sure what they'll do about Jon, since there's been no implication that he's a warg, but knowing D&D the previously on for the season 6 opener will have a bunch of shit about warg's and then the first thing we see will be about Jon and Ghost (what the fuck does that direwolf do all day?).
And so Ellaria just killed Myrcella while the heir to Dorne is, presumably, in the hands of Jaime and Bronn, good call. Although they're probably on a Dornish ship so maybe it means nothing.

I think it was inexcusable to not hint at Jon warging into Ghost. That whole scene sucked to be honest. It's the most disappointed I've been with the show to date. What happened to the pink letter, the decision to martch on Winterfell, the bad ass speech Jon gave to the wildlings, and then in the fit of them all lining up to follow Jon the attack happens. What was wrong with filming those things and actually building up one of the most pivotal moments in the entire series? Naw, a crappy character we made up and gave screen time to all season and then less than 5 minutes at the end should cover it.

Yes? No? Maybe? Characters were seemingly killed off who are still alive in the books.

Completely agree. The best parts of the last two books were cut and we're left with this garbage.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the ninja Dothraki horde lol. At least Tyrion and Varys' wacky Meereen adventures should be... fun?
They really did everything backwards there. They needed to start with Theon's betrayal of the old lady, then later on have the rape scene with his incredibly pained performance right before the turnaround here. That would have had some impact and possibly justified all this. Finally betraying Ramsay because his side chick wanted to put an arrow in Sansa's arm or something? That's just ridiculous.

Well... the Benjen thing isn't much of a spoiler. Like at all.
Honestly I have no idea what's spoiling the books and what's just D&D's creation. It's hard to tell.
