Yeah, seems a good match to have a ruling team.

Only problem is that the Mormonts are a fairly small house with lower social status compared to a major house. Then again after the Starks have retaken the north, they could see their stature increase as other houses that sided with the Boltons are punished by being stripped of land and/or title.

I'm with you. Arya's one of my favorite characters and, as I read the books, I was excited to learn more about her path with the FM. But as the show's gone on it is clear to me that Martin didn't have an end game in mind with this arc so the showrunners were left with staying true to the books for a spell and have done their best to reintegrate her character into the show in a meaningful way. Which I appreciate and hope means she is integral to the final outcome of the story. Because the alternate, and easy route, would be to have her whacked and return to the rest of the story. Just rip the band aid off, cop to the crappy arc, and move on. But they didn't so I'm optimistic she does some cool shit going forward.

This whole show is setting up for women to run everything. Which is fine but could Martin be any more transparent in his desperate desire to get laid? Such a cliche' for a D&D nerd. It's like live action Heavy Metal. Big tits, warrior queens, big tits.

I think the Manderly's stayed neutral. So they might not be punished as heavily. I think the Wildlings, or at least Tormund, will be offered a lordship. So far it looks like Bolton, Umber, and Karstark lands will be up for grabs.

Probably Gliver since he was a dick to Sansa.

By the way, Jon really strapped on his shitkickers this episode. He's turned into quite a man.

That is the difference between Jon and Dany's story. Jon is still maturing and making mistakes and having setbacks. Whenever Dany makes a mistake she always come out better from it through almost sheer blind luck rather than any activity on her part. |

It's hard to "lose" when you've got the three single-most dangerous weapons in all of Planetos at your command. Aerial assault in this story is ridiculously unfair.
It was good to see that whole thing come together, though. It's crazy how much smaller Rhaegal and Viserion are than Drogon. |

Jon's forces had already stormed the grounds and surrounded Ramsey. Meanwhile, Ramsey draws back on his bow and fires a shot. Now sure, he was aiming at Wun Wun, but nobody had any reason to know that shot didn't have Jon Snow's name on it. And they let him get the shot off? Moreover, he doesn't off Snow with it? Nit picky, to be sure. But c'mon; the guy had an open shot on Snow (who you know he wants to kill) and not only is he allowed to take it, but instead he uses it on a giant that's already going to die.
