From the other thread. I have to admit I didn't realize he actually warged into young Hodor. That's kind of fucked up.
So that's what you're going with huh?

Basically you're doomed to do whatever you already did
They tried really hard to make me cry. Great episode. It's my favorite this season, easily.
I remember reading The World of Ice and Fire one morning and thinking, what if history was so lost and twisted over the years that the entire story is on its head and the Children are actually the ultimate villains? Now that that is sort of true (one could argue man is actually to blame, ultimately), it makes me wonder about Stygai and Asshai. They say the world began there. Fascinating to think of the possibilities, and what The Shadow Lands and whatever catastrophe occurred there has to do with the Valyrians and dragons.
Wow, talk about putting words in someone's mouth.

Yea that was really great; the Bran stuff is intriguing to me and I hope they continue to nail it.
And the COTF creating the WW's was not as big a surprise as I expected. I always had a feeling they had something to do with it, or were connected.

I like how the White Walkers are basically the Scourge from Warcraft now. Ice zombies created to fight a war by proxy that grow too powerful and turn on their creator.
Seemed to have no qualms about killing the CotF, either. It's the classic living weapon (well, unliving in this case) gone amok.

We're averaging like at least one side character death an episode now right? I wonder what other five characters are going to bite it next.
I've enjoyed this season thus far but this episode jumped the shark (or kraken). No Iron Islands subtlety, return of the shitty Jason and the Argonauts skeletons, and fucking hold the door. Sansa lying to Jon just seemed to be there to add some pointless drama. Awful episode.
Was. Was a character in this show.
Jon and company left. No more scenes for poor Edd until somebody important shows up at the wall.

Mereen has been pretty deathless this season, I'm hoping they off one or more of those fools soon.
I think he's going to die and the wall is going to come down soon. All the major characters (besides Edd) have left the wall

I just realized that this White Walker revelation, if its indeed the same as in the books, means that they really just generic baddies out to murder everyone.
Way to be a hypocrite, GRRM.

I thought it was Tim Roth.
Bastardbowl is going to be a bloodbath. Just not sure who'll bite it (Except Ramsay, obviously.)

I agree. Bender did fantastic with the directing here.
There's never been anything subtle about the iron islanders. These people pride themselves on raping and pillaging everything.
The effects were awesome.
Sansa lied to Jon because if she hadn't, Jon would have tried to enlist the Vale. I wouldn't have told him either. Littlefinger is a scumbag.
Sansa lying to Jon was to show she's becoming cunning like Petyr Baelish.
The drowning scene with Euron kind of bothered me. I always assumed the drown men were resuscitated using some ancient form of CPR that was passed on through the clergy men.
Like what is described here:

He'll probably be our POV character for when the wall inevitably falls and he'll go out with the greatest of one liners.I think he's going to die and the wall is going to come down soon. All the major characters (besides Edd) have left the wall

I'm hoping there's amore to it in the books. Hopefully they just dumbed it down for the show, like a lot of other stuff.
Yeah in the books they use some kind of cpr. In the show they just let them drown and then hope for the best.
I don't think they're baddies at all. They do need to be destroyed however, which is different from the peace pact ending some were imagining.
It can.

Costs money dude.
It's going to be really disappointing if they're just mindless drones in the books as well. Like really disappointing.
BELIEVE
Little Sam just celebrated his first birthday after 4 years on the show. Give it time.
They didn't "dumb it down" in the show. They actually made a point to show that the White Walkers were created from men, and the Inside the Episode hints that the humanity in them is going to come into play.

Theon/Daenarys marriage when?????
Yeah, I'm seeing people compare it to Mass Effect lol. Seriously disappointed.

It's not proven that they're mindless drones yet.
All we know is the COTF created them as a weapon.
Maybe over time their human nature won through, and they broke free from COTF control, and now they just want to colonize a large part of the north. There's plenty of time left in the tv series to flesh them out. Don't lose hope.

All we really know now is how and why they were created. They still might have compelling motivation for turning on the cotf.

Roose Bolton was poisoned by his enemies though. Any rumours about his son, Lord Ramsay Bolton, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North relating to Lord Bolton's untimely demised are malicious and without merit.

Just something that came up in my mind but where is Jojen in the series? I don't remember at all what happened with him. Is he Jojen paste as well?
Ice skeletons killed him in Season 4.

Uh, he got blown up.

Bitches love smiley faces
This episode... ugh.
Didn't particularly like the Kingsmoot and then... "Hold the door." It can only be better in the books, right?
That was just moronic.

Meera slit his throat and leaf blew him up with a magic grenade.
