Amazing episode. Didn't think they could top Battle of the Bastards or Hardhome, but they may have done it with this one.
Few thoughts - First, how ****ed are the Lannisters now? The Freys are done now and Cersei blew up the last remaining allies she had. So now the Lannisters are going to get ran train on with the resurgent North and the super team army of Unsullied/Dothraki/Ironborn/Dorn/Highgarden. Cersei is so ****ed. Though I bet Jaime will kill her first before Cersei can reap what she has sowed. Secondly, L+R = J confirmed. Jon now has a better claim to the Iron Throne than Daenrys does. Wonder how she'll take that news once Bran lets everyone know. Thirdly, Lady Bear Mormont is a certified, verbal asskicking, badass. That whole scene was just nails. Anyone else get chills during that whole "The White Wolf! The King in the North!" scene? Finally, Littlefinger plans have all gone to shit. I think Sansa knew it and it made her happy, but now she's worried what Littlefinger is going to do. You know he's going to be coming after Jon and Sansa somehow. Hopefully Sansa doesn't get jealous and doesn't side with Littlefinger. |

Phenomenal episode. Everything was pretty bad ass, I thought.

This hit me after the episode:
White walkers only been seen as men and not women. Wights yes, but actual WWs no. The show has made the living women into powerful figures.. Did GRRM intend for the battle between the dead and the living into some sort of battle of the sexes in the quest to subvert typical fantasy tropes?!!?!

One more thing. Part of the prophecy for the Prince That Was Promised is "born underneath a bleeding star". If you watch the Tower of Joy scene again, you'll see that Dawn (forged from a meteorite) is still coated in Arthur Dayne's blood.

About the only hope Cersei has is to make an alliance with Euron and hope their combined fleets can somehow stop Dany's fleet before it reaches Dorne. I see a huge episode 9 (or whatever the shortened-season equivalent is) sea battle in the offing...

How come Snow let Melisandre ride south? Davos wanted her executed and her argument against it was that she could help Snow win the war against the white walkers.
So, one would assume that Snow would either execute her, or let her live to help him in the coming war. Instead, he lets her live, but banishes her from the North. What's the deal? Edit: Also, Davos was great in that scene. That dude is a good actor. |

Do we have any idea where Dawn is now? I have a theory that if Jon really is Azor Ahai then Dawn might be the flaming sword. Maybe somehow his Targeryon blood activates it or something.

I thought Tyrion was going to lay pipe there for a bit.
