I was so afraid of Tyrion going Oh, holy shit

Azor Ahai confirmed!

I'm so glad they didn't waste time building up to it at least. It might be the worst kept secret in tv history

I am excited that he's back though. The last season and a half maybe was probably the first time I became FULLY interested in him as a character. Him killing the white walker during Hardhome was one of my favorite moments of the series

I hear the Tower of Joy flashback is next week, so that'll be.... a thing.

I completely agree. I didn't care for him and his story all that much until Season 5.

I was worried they were going to carry this out until Episodes 8/9/10 but then I remembered this isn't AMC/The Walking Dead.

I'm just amped for Wildling army to smash heads.

Speaking of smashing heads, that scene with the dude pissing in the alley.

Good stuff.

I'll pay someone to play as him when I eventually do GoT season 4

STILL REAL MAD ABOUT ROOSE THO

He deserved a bigger exit

I really expected Roose to stab Ramsay back.

did anyone else get Force Awakens flashbacks from that Bolton father/son moment

Not me because the Boltons are fuckwads.

I really liked the episode. There was nothing that really stuck out to me as being subpar, despite my expectations being low when I saw "Written by Dave Hill" in the opening credits. Jaime still being Cersei's bitchboy at this point of the arc kinda irks me still, but I'm hoping that'll change

minor S6 spoilers	+
with him going to the Riverlands

Ending was exactly what I expected, even just from reading the books, but it was executed pretty well I thought. For a second I thought the Jon warging into Ghost theory was happening the way they kept the focus on Ghost. I assume that was purposeful

Euron's introduction was good. I'm glad they kept the bridge part of Balon's death. I dunno why they got rid of Euron's eyepatch tho. Even though it's kinda a cliche pirate thing, it's kinda a defining characteristic for him

Bran stuff was pretty good, I'm excited for the rest of the flashbacks this season. And I didn't realize how much I missed Hodor until now

Children of the forest still look silly, but not as silly as the Three-Eyed Raven. Would've been cooler if they kept his grotesque look from the books with the tree branches growing through him

YES! I forgot to post about that! He reminded me of a Futurama head without the jar and I was like "What the fuck is this Harry Potter movie green screen sheet head bullshit..."

This episode was significantly better than the first
