I agree about Wun Wun. That did break the plausibility of the shields closing in, but they had to make some concessions for the tv moments, like Wun Wun breaking the gate down and Ramsay opting to shoot him rather than Jon.
You gotta admit, this is a top give episode. My biggest complaints are the Dany and Tyrion scenes. Felt like she was second in command to him.

Weren't they the flayed men? I swear there's gotta be a deleted scene telling us who those poor fuckers were.

Wow. Claustrophobic as hell. They nailed that episode on every level.
Poor Rickon.

Episode was so awesome everyone in this thread forgot about Ghost, except you?

Most of the people that leaked where people in the production so there is no way for them to know all the details since a lot of it is second hand accounts.
Initially the leak was that he would beat him to death, then someone else said he would imprison him and then a 3rd person said that he would be "food for his dogs".
He'll roll in on a carriage and apologize he couldn't be a part of the fight because he's too fat to ride a horse.

I love Pokken!
The CGI budget went to Wun Wun

I thought Ghost was going to be the one to kill Ramsay. I was expecting him, but the hounds worked as good.
RIP the Bolton line and the Stark line.

I thought the battle looked good, but the content was kind of eh.
I would almost bet this is what'll happen. A little ten second cameo as a shout out to book fans. And it may have been important to keep someone out of the battle so that there would still be some source of independent Northern troops to weigh against the Vale knights in the new political landscape.
Also, are we seriously discussing Sansa intentionally getting everyone killed? She didn't tell Jon because A.) She wasn't even sure if LF would actually show and B.) She didn't trust Jon to be sure that he would react appropriately. She didn't know him well, for all she knew he might've refused the idea of Southern assistant. She was with LF at the end because she had been observing from the rear of the battle, so the Vale forces hooked up with her as they were encircling everything, not because she knew about their imminent arrival and rode out to meet them.
He was just fucking with her head. If she were pregnant, she'd be showing by now and having morning sickness and all of that. We'd know.

I still think BookRamsay is gonna be flayed alive rather than eaten buy his dogs.
Too bad we won't find out for another 5-10 years.

Agree with this.
There were some breathtaking shots in the battle. But some moments really took me out of the episode.
Really feels like D&D are fast tracking the series. I really don't understand why.
What are they supposed to do? The books are not going to be finished anytime soon and Martin is only giving them outlines.
But she did tell him to wait for more men, but he was very stubborn, thats the whole point of their scene at the beginning of the episode.

I dont understand this either. I know HBO can't be pressuring them to end this, and GRRM must be hoping for all the delays he can get, so I don't get the rush.
The battle was better than expected, at least they tried to make a battle plan before Jon ruined it... still I can't blame him, he saw his brother getting killed, who can say they could react better.
I really wanted Ramsay to be devoured by a direwolf but I guess this is the next best thing.

They want to be done with this.

Best shot battle possibly in the History of Cinema.
It's been 6 years at this point. These actors are aging and most of the people involved probably want to move on.
Would be nice if Sansa had mentioned the Vale during the planning of the battle lol.
But then we wouldn't get that awesome charge I guess.

Yep. They know there aren't many major story beats left to hit. Better to end strong than drag it out. Everything's coming to a head, and it'll be beautiful.
Best takeaway was that Sansa was right. Jon really did fall for it.

Only because she didn't tell him about the Army she had coming. They'd have never approached Winterfell if she had told him to wait a day.

The battle was awesome. Went by so fast too so would be easy to miss a lot. Definitely worth watching again
We got out of Meereen (I assume) and won the North in a single episode. I can't complain.
The fight was well done even if the pile of corpses was kind of crazy. Sansa's complaint about her opinion not being asked for and then admission that she didn't have any input was...interesting. I guess Jon needed the advice "don't do what he wants" though since he immediately did what he wanted.
Previews:

Littlefinger going in.
D & D lost interest after the Red Wedding.
She didn't know they were coming...

Tormund taking it to Karstark Umber was great, fucking clown that guy.
Seeing Ramsay with hints of cowardice and fear were great. But overall, I feel Jon's character is lacking something and it's been that way since his resurrection. Probably intentional but I don't like it.

Umber, I don't remember seeing Karstark in the actual battle.

I usually keep to silently reading this thread but I have to say, that was the best hour (+) of television I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
The shot construction alone was a masterclass in framing action and character in such a way that it manages to be claustrophobic one moment and vast in scale the next.

Yep. Her foolish pride almost got them all killed and could have lost the North forever. If Jon had known that her cousin had an entire fresh army waiting to support the Starks, then I'm sure Davos and he would have changed their entire approach and strategy. I really hope the show has Jon go in on her. Brienne pushed Sansa on this too after Mole Town but the show just cut to the next scene without resolving it.
