Because she left him so well-guarded? Note she was dressed in her mourning/coronation gown — BEFORE he died? She absolutely knew what he would do. He was dead to her the moment he forbade trial by combat. She didn't even give the kid a proper burial.

Cersei also goaded their last child into suicide, so, yeah. Not that Jaime gave a shit about Tommen either way, if we're being honest.

Yeah, I figured she was talking about Robert. That line of the review confused me. Rhaegar would be thrilled to learn he knocked her up.

Ramsay brought his army out because he knew they were fighting. Because, yes, Jon has known for some time that they didn't have enough soldiers to win, so they had no reason to think they would be better prepared when they did march forward. I was not suggesting they should have turned back on the eve of battle.

I really hope that the next parent to lose a child is wise enough to zoom in on that terrified, doomed face that you might feel the feels.

So, again, they could have negotiated and demonstrated the threat. They did not have to battle that very day. Allowing that many people to die when the Night King is marching south soon is just the worst thing they could have done.

Oh, I like Book Jon quite a bit. Show Jon is as dumb as he looks, unfortunately. He is his father's son — brave and considerate, but ultimately convinced that being moral is any way to win in Westeros. He should know better, but he doesn't.

Yes, their other option "or they go home" seems more reasonable than "walk into the slaughter." Ramsay might have sent a platoon or two out to get them, but they'd be safer and have more time to develop their reputations, show that Wildlings are no longer a threat to the north, and so on. As Sansa pointed out, Rickon…

I can't even imagine how exasperated she must feel hanging out with a dullard like Jon after spending years with resident masterminds Tyrion and Littlefinger.

Ramsay doesn't even know about The Others as far as I know. And if it were about The Others, then Jon would attempt to explain the threat to Ramsay rather than allowing thousands of the living to die in battle. When the Night King marches below the wall, all of the fallen will serve him. If anything, The Others make…

Agreed completely. It is beyond me how anyone could still see Sansa as a "petulant teenager" after everything she's lived through. She stopped being a "petulant teenager" the moment her father's life was in danger. She had never known hardship up until this point. Being petulant is a sign of privilege. Being quiet and…

Yes, and obviously we can only express emotions that others share so we get more likes and more validation. Unorthodox responses are a signal to the herd that you DO NOT BELONG. So good on you for expressing an unpopular opinion here.

This is the first time we've really seen the Vale knights battle, right? They mostly stayed out of the War of Five Kings, so their forces haven't been decimated at all. They could very well be the best-armed force in Westeros.

It is beyond me why I'm supposed to like or sympathize with Jon ever. Sansa knows more than he does because she spent years quietly observing political maneuvering rather than hanging out with the dullards of the Night's Watch and stabbing things. He is too like their father — confident that he will win because he is…

That scene of all the carnage around Jon was pretty telling. Hand-to-hand combat looks confusing as fuck,:horses are heavy and have sharp hooves, and it's difficult to know who you're supposed to kill because there is so much movement. It worked for me because it felt as offputting as it was immersive.

It doesn't say a lot about Jon's leadership skills that fucking SANSA has better sense than he does.

That was in the books, not in the show.

I wanted Ramsay's death to LAST, though.

The dragons have never looked more stunning than in this episode, so I tend to agree. I wish they had gone the Team America route and just shown a bunch of shots of dogs wandering around a room.

This episode would have been so much better if the Night King showed up at the end, stood in front of that pile of bodies, and raised his arms.
