I rather appreciated the wink wink they did to Balon's death in the books. Coming out and openly admitting to killing Balon? "Now let's go kill my niece and nephew?" FFS.
No, the effects were not awesome. I hated the skeletons in s4e10 and I hate them now. Never mind the stupid fireballs.
If Sansa claims to trust Jon as much as she does, she would have told him but emphasized that Littlefinger is a scumbag, and I have enough faith in Jon's character that he would understand. Now it's just going to inevitably come out later and be a plot point of stupid drama.
Like I said, I've enjoyed this season thus far and I really wanted this episode to be good, but there was nothing redeeming about it. I've said my piece- going to stop complaining now.
Cunning by lying to your sibling who wants to help you take back your ancestral home. K.
Nah, family isn't important guys. Not like it isn't a main theme or anything.
Again, the prevailing theory about Hodor's name is that it's "Walder".
The idea that someone gets so traumatized that they start saying one word over and over is pretty stupid any way you slice it. At least the show did something with it.

Sansa knows about the mutiny at Castle Black, right? Her being like, "Don't worry, I'm safe with Jon." makes no sense, unless Jon skipped over that whole resurrection thing when they reunited.

Yeah, I saw double d's say that and it feels like the cheesy sort of stuff they do that they think is on GRRM level of conniving.

Pretty sure the last remaining CotF just got offed.

Coldhands appearance has to be a for sure thing now. If not then what a wasted opportunity.
Except expressive aphasia is a very real medical condition, so...
Some of you guys should probably step away from the series. Go do something you enjoy instead.
The Children are pretty much extinct as of the cave assault.
Pretty sure she knows he got killed. I think it's just that she wanted to convince Brienne so she's telling her what she needs to hear.

Her Vasquezing her way out was stupid. She could've just thrown the thing...
The entire sequence was like, "let's get rid of things that burden our budget."
I guess. But if I went through what Sansa did, I'd want Brienne with me at all times. Even in the privy.

They met at Mole's Town, not Moat Cailin.

seems like a hard thing to put on the show but I think if it were to happen it would be now. Or they'll go with Benjen and combine em.

Ha, I was thinking of Vasquez too. "You always were an asshole Max von Sydow!"
Wait, what? They're human beings who were manipulated by another race into being slaves of war. How are they generic baddies? We were finally given a reason to empathize with them.
I thought he was in S2. But yes, he was a good casting choice they didn't give enough droll japes to.
I thought it'd be this week. I am so sorry.

Man D&D hates those direwolves with a passion.
Watch out Ghost, You're days are numbered.

Isn't that what the show implied? They were created just to destroy mankind because the COTF were under threat by man as well? Like some kind of Frankenstein monster that turned on their creators.
Perhaps when the Night's King started ruling them things became different.
There still might be some on the Isle of Faces.

Honestly, can someone explain the slavers/Tyrion deal to me? So he was like "remove slavery in 7 years" and they were like "okay"? I know they had to come up with some reason to not have the siege of Meereen but it seems kind of contrived.
I hope the red priestesses turn the entirety of Dany's army into a bunch of crazy radicals for maximum lolz. And Varys can just sit back and say "I told you so."

Maybe even in the Neck.
Winter Soldiers.
"I rode north with the Night's of the Vale. They're at Moat Cailin as we speak."
Which is already explicably ruled out in Game of Thrones by the nature of the ability.

What was the Red chick talking about regarding Varys?
His point is basically that 1) slavery is inefficient 2) slavery is on its way out.
So he gave them time to adjust to a world where slavery doesn't exist. Minimize the necessity for present conflict, whilst hopefully allowing their economies to transition gradually to minimize shock.

His castrating.
I'm assuming she's going to make everyone believe Dany is Azor Ahai, and then sell Tyrion and Varys out to the other cities of Slaver's Bay.

Like he realized the Watch couldn't hold back a mindless, raging army of the dead and so made a pact to rule them and keep them under control. But eventually it became too much and he lost control.
We're going full Arthas here.
Whatever it is there's going to be lots more to it than Frankenstein's monster.

Oh, I missed that bit. I assume he didn't mean they were just camping there. I dunno. It generally would seem odd that the Boltons wouldn't know about a host from the Vale, especially since they'd have to cross the Twins, where the Bolton ally Frey sits.

Its basically the Flood from Halo, or the Apes from Congo, or the Terminators, or the Xenomorphs.
Point is, we've seen it a thousand times already "race created to be living weapons turn against their masters and now pose a threat to everything."
I expected more from GRRM.
So weird. I guess Littlefinger's scene last episode took place a while ago.
When he was castrated by a sorcerer, a voice spoke from the flame. Speculation:
Maybe it was Bran?
You held the door buddy ;o; you held it well. RIP.
I can't even begin to wrap my head around what Bran's ability means when you factor in his power to influence the past to this extent. Time travel always leaves a lot of gaps if the rules and limitations aren't explained so hopefully some of that is coming. So many past events could be Bran or the Three Eyed Raven (or any other greenseers) meddling and causing chaos.
Between Ho(ldthe)Do(o)r and the origin of the White Walkers, this was the most revealing episode yet. Still trying to process it.
Hodor :c
I'm not sure I'd follow a leader that just let our entire fleet get stolen. I'd probably have real doubts about their leadership ability.

We only have basic details about their creation so far.
We know nothing about how they reached their present state. Seems a bit unfair to assume they're going to be so generic and tropey.
I'd kind of hope so. Seems a waist.
If the Children do go extinct in the books, I hope it's a bit more memorable.

Yea but who was talking? That was the info she was going to reveal.
They'll be in Dorne next week.
That's pretty much literally the backstory of goblins/orcs in Tolkien. Only they started as elves and not humans that were tortured and twisted until they became what they are.

In character, not a character.
In the books, Edd is nicknamed Dolorous Edd because he's always so cynical and dour. Was pretty spot on in this episode. In the prior ones, he was just a dude.
