But Sansa having to give Jon his balls back was a bit irksome. And it's definitely the rise of teh women everywhere. Sansa, Arya, Dany, Cercei. All the strong male characters have been killed or emasculated (literally in at least one instance). Other than Tyrion I guess.

I thought it was goddamned compelling television.
Everyone expected Jon to come back, hard, pissed off, and fighting - myself included. He came back with perspective. He's not wrong, he's been fighting since he got there and he's lost. He won a few fights, but lost more. I hadn't considered him finding clarity and objectivity in death. Which is far more likely. Yeah, the white walkers are coming, but he fired all the bullets he had and failed miserably. There isn't any way he would know of to continue to the fight.
It wasn't what I was expecting, but I'm glad they did it.
