In that sense, I guess this battle parallels with Stannis' attack on Winterfell. Whilst Stannis sacrificed his loved one to save his army, Jon chose in the heat of the moment to sacrifice his army to save a loved one.

As badass as Grey Worm looked killing those two guys, they were still unarmed emissaries under diplomatic protection, right? That's some Red Wedding shit right there.

What was Rickon actually doing during his three years off-screen? Presumably he would have made it to the Umbers fairly quickly, which means that until season 6 they were actually protecting Rickon from the Boltons. It kind of seems like a dick move that they'd betray the boy they were keeping safe as soon as they

I didn't see anything wrong with Jon's decision to race to Rickon's aid. What was dumb was that after Rickon died, Jon proceeded to charge alone into the Bolton ranks, instead of withdrawing back to his army (and maybe taking Rickon's body back to safety, where it can't be riddled with more arrows and crushed under a

How about when Ramsay saw Jon staring open-mouthed at an incapacitated Wun-Wun, and deciding that Wun-Wun was the best person to shoot in the eye in that situation?

I'm disappointed we missed out on the scene where Arya removes the Waif's face and finds out it was Old Man Jenkins under there all along.

Yeah, whoever directed this was really fucking with us when they showed the Hound looking up in awe at the back of someone's head.

I always imagined that if they fought at the trial, it would be because the Hound had managed to transcend his hatred for his brother and would instead approach the fight as a mercy killing. The Mountain is being kept alive by unnatural means and is obviously in pain, so the Hound would be in the right to put him out

Looking at your avatar, now I'm disappointed they didn't cast Bret as Euron.

Do we actually know if that's the same Jaqen Arya saved, and not another random Faceless Man? I feel like the Jaqen in Westeros had a lot more swagger. The Jaqen in Braavos just seems like a boring asshole to me. More of an old sage than the playful assassin we saw in Westeros.

In light of tonight's episode, I have a new theory: the voice Varys heard when the sorcerer threw his genitals into a fire was Bran saying, "why the fuck am I watching this? That's enough weirwooding for one day."

I think Ramsay mentioned earlier that he'd flayed the family of one of his vassals too. And as much as a dick Roose was, I feel like killing your entire family in a blatant power grab should be generally frowned upon. To be fair though, the Sandsnakes got away with that too, so I guess Ramsay isn't the only one.

I think you're overestimating the Night's Watch's ability to pass on information. Apparently, most of them still aren't aware there are ice zombies roaming outside the Wall.

Although Joffrey didn't get what was coming to him until his poisoning, all of his stupid impulsive actions had consequences. It's just that he had competent people surrounding him who managed to contain the mess he created. We saw that his execution of Ned Stark gave the rest of the Lannisters a massive headache for

And given how flammable that room was, you'd think they'd at least bolt those braziers down. I wonder how many times they've had to rebuild the place after a drunken Dothraki bumped into one of those things.

She's going to employ Tyrion's seven-year transition policy. What, you thought this was going to be the season she was invading Westeros? No, they're saving that one for season 11.

What was with Melisandre covering Jon's crotch with a bit of cloth during the resurrection? The Lord of Light clearly has no problem with tits and vaginas, but one dick and he suddenly wants nothing to do with the ceremony?
