Its worked seamlessly. Bran is so close to the action but I don't mind or even question it either.
Ned sensing his call instead of going to (see whats up with ****** ) added a nice touch , giving The 3 Eyed Raven magic believability.

Or you're like me and love Gingermen with bushy beards.

Damn, did they :)

Absent in season 5, Bran has become one hell of an important 'Ghost of Game of Thrones Past' and our eyes for that past.
It fits with nary a beat. Nice job there by HBO.

That was the best sword sequence since 'Frankenmountain' vs.Oberyn.
And as far as importance, it doesn't get more so if you're a book fan knowing what the scene is.
It was filmed with thought. The clash & gleam of swords set against the stark (No, that's not a pun, really) Spanish setting.
Speaking of impressive, how…

Too soon for that reveal but it would have been nice :(

Hey, When Tyrion was going to do Truth of Dare with Greyworm and Missandei, I thought to myself, well, this could get good, a little mood lightening or whatever .

This ep.was considered a 'teaser' by the AV reviewer, which surprises me. I don't see it as just a teaser . Far from it.
In my mind Bran Stark coming back to the show as a Time Travelling Visionary - Seer -Warg -is the most important eventt to happen lately besides of course Jon Snow's death.
I figured Bran would become…

Why is Davos always at the right place at the right time?
I'm amazed how he ended up at the Wall when Jon Snow's death went down.
And he didn't flinch to ask Melissandre for some magic to bring him back. Maybe it's also some of his influence, not all hers ——- He was there as well when she 'gave birth' to the Shadow of…

It's true. Again Dorne seems like a complete waste of time unless they invade Kingsmoot.
If the show made one mistake, it is / was their handling of Dorne.
Except for Oberyn, the show could've left it out completely. And no one would've cared.
Especially if you didn't read the books.

If wouldn't surprise me but it would make me mad enough to boycott HBO at this point.
Ramsey Bolton makes past bad boy Geoffrey Lannister look like a bad dream.

I suppose they cast him that way —with this in mind, but he has that boyish face which sure doesn't add to his kingly credibility.

Clever !

He is HATE personfied.

He had to tell her to save Jon Snow first. How could even you ask that question?

Pod loves the Simpsons though

Oh thanks, Sorry.

I'd vote you up if I understood the meaning of and reason for your comment.

I know, I hate wispy bangs.

This is true as well.
But I think when it comes to Sansa, though it WAS Baelish that put her there, it was still Ramsey that raped her and put her thru hell and back.
That being said, it likely strengthened her in ways that will be adventageous to much deserved payback down the road.
