he can't be a character in AoU, he was literally just born. he's mostly a blank slate. we see elements of his character filled in during Civil War, with him becoming more rounded. it's real subtle stuff.

everything from when Vision is birthed to the end of the film is near flawless stuff. the preceding 90 minutes has its issues, but once it slips into Big Damn Hero mode it's absolutely fantastic.

Lyanna Mormont is the third most badass character this show has ever had (behind #2 Khal Drogo and #1 The Lord Supreme Badass Arya Stark)

yeah, I feel like next season at some point there will be a scene where Howland Reed confirms Jon Snow's true parentage to Bran. that'll be a nice scene.

-Dorne + Danaerys + Olenna teaming up is an incredibly powerful matriarchy in the making. bar Tyrion all the men in that group are eunuchs, too (they just dismissed the only stud). I bet the MRA's hate them!

exactly! Arya is the terminator. idk why everyone is worried about her mental wellbeing, she'll be fine!

he's totally going to though. that's how the wall is coming down.

the casting for season two was as damaging as anything else. only Colin Farrell was good (because he should always play drunk and/or corrupt cops). Rachel McAdams looked the part but whenever she opened her mouth I was like "hey why is Regina George dressed like that?" Taylor Kitsch went to the Lena Headey school of…

EXACTLY. We're all talking about how she could have told Jon about the Vale army the night before the battle when she could have told him about it AGES ago when they were going round building their army, so Jon could have formulated an even better plan to take-on Ramsay.

This is a BRILLIANT post (and in a Game of Thrones comment thread, no less!) As a Muslim man of Pakistani origin, thank you for making it.

Sansa is becoming (or already is) a flat-out VILLAIN. gonna be interesting to see if they keep her on this trajectory or bring her back to the good side.

Danaerys is an imperialist with three WMD's who has zero respect for the local cultures she bulldozes, Yara is the leader of a band of rapist pirates, and Sansa is so damn morally vacant she's been betraying her family since the first season to try and get whatever her latest goal is.

Jon didn't order his forces to charge, Davos did that.

EXACTLY. Jon is a hero, one of only a couple on the show. I want him to stay that way. The show has enough cynical anti-heroes and anti-villains, let's not wish the few Big Damn Heroes be like them, eh?

Jon is a hero, Sansa isn't. That's why he could never accept Rickon as lost while Sansa (who used Rickon to manipulate Jon into fighting in the first place) could just ignore him as dead.

Arya Stark's travelling buddy Sandor Clegane was right there when it happened. I'm willing to bet the two reconnect next season and our assassin finds out the truth. Then A Girl Will Kill A Badly Accented Man.

He's obviously played her. He's playing everyone and you can bet he'll try to marry her in the next episode/next season.

She's basically a villain at this point. A Northern Cersei, except worse because Cersei cares enormously about her family while Sansa has been betraying hers since season one.

It's been really hard to watch this season. Every single episode is absolutely reaming him while Gilfoyle is constantly portrayed as the better, more talented programmer and competent person.

Every. Single. Scene.
